2007 ---> 2008

A review of 2007.

Where was I? Am I still stagnant?
There was this saying or phrase i overheard from the PrimeTime Morning.
"If you are not doing better, you are doing worse."

It makes me reflect to at which stage am I in right now.

What have I wanted to do and have I achieved them?

-- Work --
There is improvement quite obviously. Gotten raise, and of course the scope of work is wider than before. Also, learning that the bosses are getting appreciative though the risk still exist for their 'taking granted of us in the future'. I may not enjoy fully of what I'm doing but the contentment is there.
*Hmmm...can I rate a 7 and half over 10?

-- Friends --
A very very huge SORRY for the neglection of friends around me. We can't control time but surely we CAN organize time. It has been a 2007 worth of almost 90% work. For 2008, I must allow myself to have time for the precious friends around me.
*I have to admit i failed terribly in this catergory.

-- Family --
Is there any difference at all? She has been suggesting me of moving back. But i dislike the environment. And I would definitely beg for the peace and solitary lifestyle if i move back. That I don't have to answer for anything and whatever. I do as I please. And not forgetting the clashes of lifestyle habits. I suppose I'm still not very good at compromising. Not that I do not want to take care but I would rather live alone for now and not letting the living together to ruin the finally better relationship now and the good get-together dinner every fortnightly.
*Sigh, at least a passable grade of 5 over 10.

-- Personal --
My Pilates lesson?!! The last I ever practise on my own? Gosh!!! It's more than a year ago affair. My poor body. My suffering limbs.
Mentally? Thankfully I have not abandoned my books afterall. Helping me to go back on track its the "The Rape of Nanking".
Double Triple and many more times of sigh. I do have many more to do actually.
*Shorting of that bit bit marks to a mere pass.

-- Love --
I have to admit I'm a sucker for his assurance. Haiz, don't ask me why I would always be lacking of such confidence. Or could it be that the difference in during honeymooning and after honeymooning its that huge? Is the honeymooning ceasing? But but... where do we go from here then?
*The future though full of much uncertainties but its a scoring of soaring bull chart. No official numbers here because there is not a tool that can measure it.

What has become to the blossoming of the love?

Result: The Koala who without the support of the Tree, will die. The Tree without the Koala who hung onto it, will wither.

Dear Tree,

Koala been real bad. But Koala still very much need to and want to, to hug this tree tightly and never to let go.

Love Koala.

For the teasing during the company's xmas dinner last night, I think my bosses will remember me well should i have any thoughts of leaving the company.

Big Fat Ugly Boss: Hey, why aren't your drinks moving at all? *Looking at the drinks which are rearing goldfishes*

Me: How to move? They have no legs to move lah...

Big Fat Ugly Boss: Do you guys know? They serve the best lamb ribs here. *Pointing to the dish in front of him and at the same time making a move to the loo first*

Me: You sure you going to leave this behind then?

Big Fat Ugly Boss: I agree to drawing the lots first to see who you are getting the xmas gift for, rather then to prepare a gift that is to be suitable for either guy or gal and then draw lots to see who gets whose gift. As for me, maybe a bottle of Chivas shall do nicely.

Me: A bottle of Chivas without the contents? *wink*


***********************************************************************************

My night ended with reading of the "The Rape of the Nanking".
A beautiful read, if you ask me.
But be cautious, for the aftermath is a pool of shaken and horrified emotions.

There was a little pleasant shock and surprise on monday morning while i was reading the newspapers as usual during the train ride.
What caught my eyes was the small heading of Man U having a victory of 1-0 over Liverpool.

And the background of it was on sunday morning during breakfast, B told me he's heading to the 'pools' and suddenly asked me "Man U vs Liverpool" tonight, what score?
*Staring rather blankly at him, i said 1-0.
*And continuing eating my bread n ignore him*.

B: hiyo...who 1 who 0?
Me: eh...*thinking that i don't fancy both Man U and Liverpool but got a better feeling of the former than the latter, i replied Man U lor.

And the result?
Instead of a lobster meal, B only promised me a prawn flavoured noodles coz i did not insist him in betting 50bucks. And he betted only 10bucks.

-.-'''

Not forgetting that B initially wanted to bet 5 miserable bucks only. It was at the counter that he changed the figure at last min.

double -.-'''!!!

I didn't realised it has been a month of time that i did not log in at all.

And the year is coming to an end.

Fresh and brand new year is arriving.

Gosh...time don't just flies.

It's that time for those new year resolutions.

It's that time for the spring cleaning.

It's that time for the chucking of the unwanted and letting go of the 'bagguges'.

And i can't believe that i'm galloping towards the '3' in just a couple of years.

Kinda scary.
