stick to my priorities list
study harder
control my hot temper
adopt a positive attitude as much as possible
be more open-minded
spend more time with my family
remember sis' birthday present [ok i actually FORGOT to get her one this yr. argh.]
don't complain too much
manage time more effectively
be confident but not over-confident
don't procrastinate
learn to appreciate and cherish what i have
give-and-take
tidy my study room
be sensitive at appropriate times

im glad i fulfilled most of them! (: except that i still fall victim to procrastination every now and then. haha so here are the resolutions for 2005!

(well this was supposed to be up last nite but i was too tired to post it so here it is)

Sentosa was awfully crowded today..guess everyone's in the mood of the countdown to 2005. four lovelies - namely jes, leexinyi, aileen and nic - made me wait for almost an hour!!! *growl* i got a free entrance ticket as an apology haha. well, barely 1 hour after soaking in the sea, it started to rain! More of a thunderstorm to be exact. we had to share a puny shelter with a family of goodness-knows-how-many people. dumped our sandy and dirty things there, and waited fervantly for the rain to stop while wrapping ourselves in towels to keep warm. after some time, we moved over to the lifeguard's station and were standing underneath the shelter when the lifeguards started making..small talk. first they blasted music and told us that they felt sorry for us. then they asked which school we were from, whether we've taken our O levels, and shared really silly jokes. when the storm was over we headed back to the sea where the waves were huuuuge! i guess we made a fool of ourselves laughing our heads off like idiots at every single thing and drew curious stares haha. oh yes nic and i had our HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY! (((: if only joan was with us! we'd be gawking like a nutty horny threesome like we always do. after a couple of hours we went to bathe and nic borrowed a towel from one of the lifeuguards, who started hitting on her when she returned it! HOHO. we were standing afar so we couldnt hear their conversation but nic later told the rest of us that jeremy (the chubby lifeguard) and his partner (a relatively skinny one) asked for her number and told us to contact them the next time we go to sentosa. haha! i bet it was more of directing the invitation to nic herself :D well they were really nice anyway and waved us goodbye.

headed home and later celebrated dad's birthday at swensons. we ate a lot - and i really mean A LOT - and chuckled in private when we found out that family sitting next to us has a boy who's having his birthday too. what a coincidence (:

shall go to bed before i doze off in front of the comp. night!
