I've got so many other things to blog about, like my 1 st Christmas away from family, St Andrew's Day lunch, Christmas party in my department, some special skills that i've learnt within 2 months, my shopping spree, new discoveries i've made, new friends... I know it'll be too late if I blog about all this next year, and I know it'll all be too much of information overload if I blog about it all together now within a last few hours of this year. I'm gonna push all that for the next coming posts so that I can talk about how 2008 has been for me. I've never done this kindda post before, and I want to do it this year, cos I want to remember everything that has happened in this year ( even if it is only in point form.. yea.. like I can limit my words ) There has been many memories in this year.. some good, some bad, some recollect able, some forgettable. But I believe and I know everything was for a purpose and God was leading me, guiding, an...

. I did it. It's mine now. It's all mine. But i'm not very happy. U could say it's guilt that's killing me. I could give you a thousand and one reasons ( it's REASONS ...mind you...NOT excuses ) like 1) I love Reebok 2) My current shoe is giving away already 3) There's nothing wrong in buying another shoe before i'm completely deprived of any 4) I heart Reebok 5) It's on Sale 6) There's no way i can get Austin Lady for the price i got it for now. 7) If i dont buy another shoe now, i'll be the only fool who'd spend extra for another pair of shoes probably next year after the sales is all over 8) For the amount i walk these days, i know my current shoes is bound to meet its last day soon 9) Have i told you how much i love Reebok 10) ... Yea, I Love Reebok This is the model that i wanted. But this is not the colour that i wanted. Infact, I hate yellow But i bought it anyways... sigh... All for the love of that name!

It's Christmas Eve, n i'm sitting in my cold room all alone watching idiotic movies. I havent even drawn the curtains in my room today, havent seen the sun, havent heard a single Christmas carol, haven't heard any laughter ... but i think it's good in a way. if there's laughter from some other flat... for all i know there might just be sounds of tears and sobs from my flat I should have just agreed to go to Manchester d day before rather than wait for next week. sigh.... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! Have fun and celebrate with ur families.

... especially when i walk out on d corridor of my flat n see this n my door is the only one that doesnt receive anything

from a person who coolly but confidently said that her mum would come with her to India ( but it didnt happen... my mum threw me in a hostel ), for a person who refused to help in d kitchen in any way other than wash the dishes once in a while, from a person who used to like baking ( which was once upon a time ), from a person who survives on juice and biscuits and refuses to stand in front of the stove and cook lunch or dinner even if she's starving, from a person who survives on afforable instant food, from a person who assumes that she's gonna make her husband cook and help around with the housework....... arises a girl who can do all this: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
