And the hyped up New Year, what with the whole world counting down in every possible way, has finally arrived! My favourite time of the year has also passed, which is kinda depressing but thats ok coz i've got a few things planned out that'll definitely tip the happy scale! For starters i'm hell excited about our upcoming Phuket trip in a few days! The glorious beach, our friggin 2 bedroom villa WITH A POOL, authentic pad thai and tom yum soup, shopping steals and deals, the water sports that'll keep me above sea level away from the (respected) underwater creatures (i kid you not when i say im terrified of what might get me when im half submerged) and above all i cannot wait for my jungle and beach trail horse riding. Sigh... i really, really am looking forward to it all!! I'm so glad we're actually going, instead of the famous planning which never materializes! Sigh ok, ok, i shall stop before i jinx our holiday.. *lets out a last squeal of excitement*
Anyhoo.. today is my first day back at work after what seems like forever coz we pretty much had a 2 week holiday over X'mas and New Year's. The great thing is that i wasnt dreading it or muttering the usual curses this morning, as i would've had i been in my prior job! I'm really liking that fact and I'm giving myself another pat for leaving a job where i might've been earning a very desirable sum now. I mean who needs the money when you're so miserable, the only way you might use the money is to pay someone to kill you or like go for therapy or something, heh. Of course, the money could have been used to buy like things that i can only look at now wishfully, or to contribute more to the parentals or buy me a new camera without a second thought since my current one has major issues, or... Hahaha i'm kidding la.. I mean, yeah sure it would be nice to have spare cash every month but i'm SO SO SO much happier where i am now and i wouldnt trade happiness for all the money in the world. Money truly can't buy happiness. It's not a myth guys, it's true. Unless you're one of those lucky asses who's blessed with both. If you are, good on ya, but i shall become you one day :)
My Christmas and New Year's were pretty well spent. Both were quiet events spent with the immediate group of friends, just the way i like it. I'm not big on crowds and forced conversations so i chose the anit social way out by just hanging out with the gang. :) Xmas was spent house hopping a little, but before the party started, so we got to say hi to the important members and then we ended up seekin refuge in Shawn's room while the real party was going on in the hall! Everyone was pretty spent by the end of the night, so we were just lazing around and watching TV in his newly done up room! His room has it all now under one roof, so we didnt really have to move much for any form of entertainment. :) And i LOVEDDD our Christmoosh date, the place is really gorgeous mannnnnn! And the food and wine was just.. money well spent for sure! Plus it was with the fearsome foursome, so it was much loved :)
And new year's eve was a really nice private countdown at Sho's house with yummy food courtesy of Sholala, Champagne from Lagsini, Shawn's stylo mylo drinking game that somehow didnt get anyone high and my gorgeous speakers that i just have to mention coz i love them :) I really liked 2009's countdown espescially since 2008's was quite a disaster and I'm gonna be all positive and think thats indicative of a good year ahead! :)
I spent the whole of New Year's day with the familia and seeing Mikayla was the highlight of the day! :) She's really such a cutie.. she's a screamer but we still love her ;)
I'm back at work, but there's really not much to do, which is good but i have this nagging feeling i'm not doing something important which i'm gonna pay dearly for tomorrow.. Heh. I think i'm gonna go dwell on that a little and if i don't come up with anything that'll save my ass tmw, i'm gonna bury my itchy nose in my new book :) Tata!
The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of..
