Colour-less.

Despite the spectrum of colours being showcased on the catwalks, I find myself gravitating towards black and white.

More specifically, T-shirts with black and white animals on them. :p

I have been thinking about the things I want to achieve in 2009. I'm a short term planner, I schedule my life according to days and weeks. Very unlike the boyfriend who plans years ahead.

I seldom make plans months in advance other than for occasions that require a lot of planning or things that require the parental nod and a big budget. I just don't end up sticking to most long term plans I make.

Yet, stick to them or not, it has become a habit to churn out new year resolutions year after year.


In 2008, these were in my list:

From my May 2008 post entitled "Summer" *click!*:


'I want to achieve at least ONE of these during Summer/ before I turn 21:

#1: Climb Mt Kinabalu

#2: Get my scuba license.
*this one looks the most promising.... I already talked to my friend ZiYang and we came up with tentative-ish plans. lol*

#3: Bungee jump!

#4: Visit one of the World's wonders. *click!*
*Well, hypothetically speaking I havE done this already... did you know Petronas Twin Towers was oncE considered under this category?! and I visited the Eiffel Tower last year... Unfortunately they're now both obsolete as the "7 wonders" boo. *

BY the way, is it possible to go scuba diving in the Red Sea itself?
How cool would that be!! *daydreams*
hehe :D

#5: Achieve something I can be proud of for the year 2008.'



Did I achieve any one of them?


I managed a few commendable accomplishments. At the same time, I did many things I am not proud of in 2008 either. I guess they sort of balance themselves out... You think? : /

I did, however, get my scuba diving license... and I am pretty glad about it!


Moving on, my plans for 2009:

#1: GET A 2:1 FOR MY LAW DEGREE!
If I don't get a 2:1, I can just shoot or hang myself. That is, if my parents don't get to me first. 0_O

#2: Scuba diving in the Red Sea.
I have always wanted to do this since I read about Moses parting the Red Sea. Now that I finally know how to dive, it is a likely possibility that I will be able to! I know a few people who want to go as well. If all goes well, I might just head down to Egypt after/before graduation. Whee! :D

#3: I still want to climb Mount Kinabalu
However, my bad eyesight and hectic study schedule most probably will not allow me this. :S

#4: Visit Italy! and maybe Greece
The flights to these destinations are incredibly cheap from the UK! It doesn't make sense that I've been here for a full 3 years and have noT visited these places when acquaintances who have just started studying in UK have done the whole Euro-trip already.

#5: Learn how to cook as well and as healthily as Mommy.
This one is pretty much motivated by the boyfriend. I want to be able to cook awesome dishes for him so that he'll come home after a long days work to scrumptious and healthy home cooked dishes!
*GEE. I can't believe I'm admitting this here. I sound so cock-whipped. Heehee. :p*

#6: I want to be bone skinny.
I've realised that to actually look good in all clothes, merely being fit is not enough... you have to be skinny! *and if you're skinny fit, that's obviously a plus point*
So yesh, I want to be gaunt.
This one looks the most impossible though. I love my food too much. Moreover, my metabolism seems to die a little more every year as I age. *wistful sigh*


HMM. That's about everything I can think of at the moment. I'll just make things up as the year moves along. :D
Have to go shower and oink now. I've got a 9am class tomorrow!
The horror! 0_O
