Happy New Year!

This year's NY's even celebration is the quietest and most boring one I've ever had...no parents, no friends, no fun...but it is one of the most relaxing night I've had for the past few weeks. Everyone left work at about 2pm. I had a discussion session with Dr. Schmidt at 2pm, which went well and I feel refresh that I now know where to heed next on the Fluorometric Assays. Finished at about 3pm, cleaned up all my stuff, wrote a letter to Mrs. Ho and left the office at about 5pm.

There were plans earlier this week..Chicago..hanging out with Irina..catching up with James..choops probably coming over..but Chicago was too expensive, Irina didn't feel like celebrating, couldn't get hold of James (you must have been not picking up my calls again! juz kidding!) and no news from choops. Then Nok called about going shopping for mattress for our new apartment and since I was up for spontaneity, I agreed and we went to Walmart. But guess what! They close at 6pm so we just walked one round, sort of figured out what we would like and left. Went to Goodrich, wanted to rent DVD but it's close! There goes a night of cuddling in front of a probably a great movie. So went home and Nok went to Donna's place. It wasn't an adventurous day or anything out of the ordinary but it was great to spend time with her. Laughters and jokes were shared, which I really do need at that time.

Actually, I am not even sad about spending the holidays alone. I've actually came peace to myself..no more depressing moments, no more mourning over the lost of a relationship and no more worrying about unneccessary stuff. Called BK in the morning to wish him Happy New Year after calling all my old high-school friends. We had a great talk and it feels good to be able to joke with him and laugh. The best was to hear him laugh again. It seems like everytime I called him the past few months, he was either occupied with some activity with friends or busy eating or had some stuff to do. But today, he's just there..available..being himself. It feels great to end the year knowing that there's peace between us and we'll be good friends in this new year.

New Year resolutions? When I was younger, NY resolutions were just something that I'm so psyche about early of the year but left behind as the year goes by. But this year, my aim is to make a NY resolution work. I think it's time I learn to keep track of what I am spending. This realization came to me when I was filing all my bank statements, payslips and all those financial documents. Then I realized that I had not saved as much money as I had intended to when I first started working. Well, I did spend a lot of money on the laptop, camera and household stuff. So this year, I decided to follow every single penny that I have and make sure that they all go to great use.

What's for the NY's day itself? In my mind right now..mattress shopping with Nok..finish the book I'm reading..watch some DVDs I have..online games!
