a new chapter begins =)

okay, first of all, i'm gonna tweak the date a little to 'keep up' with my sunday tradition. haha..honestly, it hasn't been a good weekend, my eye bags are huge, and my eyes are kinda sore. but yet i must say, it was indeed an 'eye-opening' weekend for me. i've learnt a lot of new things - lessons, values and i even acquired new mindsets (according to someone! lol!). and to me, i feel that these are important things that will carry me throughout the rest of my life! besides, learning is always good right? a loving person is a forgiving person. i don't want to bear any grudges with anybody. it's only when i am at peace with myself can i be at peace with those around me. therefore, yesterday night, i saw myself channeling all possible negative thoughts into positive thoughts. i forgave and i felt that a whole load of weight was soon taken off. i feel more light-hearted now.

so there's no point harping about it. yes, there is pain, but i've minimized it. forgetting or keeping yourself occupied will not help. i've learnt to let it go. and by letting it go, i can still keep the memories, whilst reminding myself that they are indeed only, memories. there's only one way from here - forward. no turning back at all. cause that's just life. life goes on whether you want it or not. time passes, days pass, years pass, never ever waiting for anyone. so i'll take a deep breath, keeping my head upright, standing tall and straight, and what do i do next? continue with my life.

so yeps! i've been on an exercise regime. been wanting to get on it seriously for so long, and thus far, i have been pretty disciplined. so i'm hoping to keep that up. also, i'm looking forward to Singapore, can't wait to meet my lovely, gracious and oh-so wonderful friends, my family & the HongKong/Macau trip with them, and my little stevie boy! =) i would also love to catch up with friends i've been neglecting, do the things i wanted to do such as sewing and updating my blogs (there are some new ones =P), and PARTY hard! we're young and this should be the best time of our life! we should have lotsa fun! most importantly of all, i would want to concentrate on my studies, hopefully get into honours and do my parents proud. i don't want them to think they've wasted their money on me..lol! so yesh, these are my priorities in life now, and i'm dead set on achieving them!

oh yea, also, the new year's eve party/get-together is still ON! everyone's invited! just that we don't have any plans at the moment! LOL! but yep, it doesn't matter where we go or what we do! so long we have FUN and LAUGHTER, that's enough. though i would still love to catch the fireworks and soak in the party atmosphere (so hint to shujuan - somewhere outside please!). i'm looking forward to that too! party hard and start the new year on a good note! well, i guess that's about all. and if it is your first time reading this blog, i hope you'd come back next week my friend. i know i may be boring, but hopefully this will be a way for me to keep in touch with my dear ones. till then!

xoxo
