Shruti says I am a very boring person. :/

Need to find a box to contain my huge-ass IT books, or maybe display them on my shelf to appear smarter and also so that they can collect dust for the next year. Found a folder of all my receipts from Alexandra Hospital. Did a total and I spent S$6552.82 for my braces from Nov 05 till now (I still have to go back for reviews), here’s the cost breakdown:

• First examination and review with X-Ray S$91.90
• First extraction S$76 (2 teeth)
• Installation, adjustments and removal S$5207.75
• Second extraction S$905.78 (4 wisdom teeth and 2 teeth)
• Retainers S$188
• Miscellaneous S$83.39

Was disappointed with the bedsheets I bought from JUSCO. The packaging said it was for Queen size yet it contained a single bed set inside. :( I was looking forward to using them for CNY. Fortunately, I’m a crazy bedsheet shopper, so I’ll be using the other set I bought from IKEA. Going to start working on the dark and gloomy side of the room now.

Another overdue post. I finally went to Marina Barrage and had the chance to experiment with my camera. :) Was pleasantly surprised to discover that the place is very good for flying kites. The wind was really strong and there weren’t a lot of trees for your kites to get snagged on. However, there were way too many kites, so it’s easy for kites to get entangled or cut each other. I uploaded a couple of nicer pictures on flickr.

Long over due post. I went away when 2010 began, first to Malaysia and then to Bali. Learnt how to surf, was sunburnt, had abrasions and fell into many tourist traps. Food was awesome every time, except for the first meal when we first arrived and didn’t know where to eat. Haha.

Photos are already up on Facebook. You can only view it if you’re my friend, and not in the… you know, restricted list.

• Be healthy
• Be happy

Of course, if you’re really particular, achieving these actually requires multiple little activities. But what’s going to happen is that these two considerations will be the basis for my decisions in my everyday activities for 2010.

I hope 2010 started off awesome for all of you and everybody will enjoy good health and wealth this year. :)

2010 started off nicely. :) We travelled to Kuala Lumpur and Malacca from 1 Jan to 3 Jan, then to Bali from 6 Jan to 10 Jan. Will put up Bali pics once I have all the pics from Kevin. Too lazy to upload twice.

The Malaysia road trip was something we have been talking about for the longest time and finally got down to doing it. I remember nothing from the trip, due to lack of sleep, and also because we did nothing except to eat for the entire 3 days. We then burned off all the food during the Bali trip. Haha.

Wanted to sleep, but was dragged to go take photos of fireworks. Haha. Happy 2010 everybody.

• Stop anticipating and interrupting people.
• Stop swearing…as much. And hopefully stop doing it completely.
• Focus more on what I want and less of what other people want, if it’s at my expense. Life is short, gotta make it a point to enjoy it more.
• Have the courage to punch/knee bad people in physical self defense. I learnt a painful lesson that talk is really cheap.
• Earn much more for my family and myself.
• Slow down and smell the roses.

And chronologically, this was how insane 2009 was:

• Tried white water rafting for the first time, on Valentine’s day, no less. :p
• Passed JLPT3. Yay!
• My acne took on a life of it’s own, my face is severely scarred now and not showing signs of recovering.
• Went for an awesome getaway at Batam with my favorite colleagues! The memories seem so far away now. :(
• Took up Salsa! Haven’t been going to the club for a month now, though. :(
• I was first search result if you search for Chufang on Google. :)
• Went to my first rave ever.
• Nickpan left us. T_T
• Shruti turns 21! We had a blast.
• Went to Hokkaido and absolutely loved the weather, the people, the wildlife, the pet shops, the food… Also, I won at Pachinko. :p
• Tried dirt biking for the first time. Didn’t like it, will probably not try it ever again.
• Grew closer to MZ this year. :) <3 <3
• Became a BlackBerry convert. :)
• Company trip wasn’t as refreshing as last year. I think it’s because we’re going to the same place. But I won an iPod Nano. :)
• Dressed for my first Halloween. :)
• Fell in <3 with Serena.
• Felt very overwhelmed during my birthday…
• Went for my first ZoukOut and loved Armin’s set.
• Movie of the year for me: Up

In retrospect, I let go this year, so now I have a scarred face full of acne, a bigger tummy, and my eczema is flaring up at every opportunity. Letting go is not very liberating. As least not as liberating as other people make it out to be. Doesn’t suit my personality I guess.

Anyway, 2010 is starting off with a big bang! I’m going to be out of town from 1st Jan onwards, so seeya all in mid Jan.

Out of focus, but you know what those are. :)
