A Good Start
The day started with me leaving my mobile phone at home, on the way to work. My phone is vital as my boss has the habit of sms-ing his instructions nowadays. I had to turn back to collect it and still made in on time to office.
Sasha was in good spirits and wished her teacher Happy New Year, the moment she got down from the car to her kindergarten. Guess this New Year does little miracles on this Little Ms Snooty, who otherwise doesn’t give a rat ass about just anybody. Not sure where she learns being so stuck up. (Stop sniggering at me, will ya?)
Attending church the night before was an eye opener. Since this is the first time I attended a Catholic church, I was watching all rituals and processions with great interests. I saw it on tv before – the holy communion, etc but never “live”. Unfortunately, there were no cute men (apart from the host and his friend of coz). I think the (other) cute men were out having fun with other cute chics.
The first day of New Year was spent watching Alien vs Predator at One U. I did online purchase for movie tickets for the first time at 3 am to ensure we have good seats. I am rather surprise One U was not overly packed on 1st day of 2008. Perhaps, everyone went home late the night before and are probably still remain blissful in their slumbers. I could wake up this early despite sleeping at 3.30 am without use of alarm clock. Must be sign of old age – I cannot sleep more than 5 hours now.
After a nice brunch of salmon muffin with egg at Coffee Bean, we settled in the comfortable seat in Hall 2 and watched some mindless battles. Went home immediately after that and slept in the “sauna” room for 4 hours straight. The weather these days are really terribly hot. I am grateful that I didn’t die from heat stroke and woke up just in time to drink some water. I am surprise I could still sleep at night after that. Not a bad start for the New Year. No insomnia. No bad dreams. And everyone seems to be in his or her best moods.
I went to sleep last night with the silliest smirk on my face when someone told me, he will spend more time with me in 2008 as his New Year resolution. What a lot of bullshit! Even if I foresee it is most unlikely to happen, it sure makes me happy just hearing that! I am rather disappointed that I am not as complicated as I wish I would be and detested the thought of being such a mere woman.
Well, everyone asked me what is my resolution this year. I have none and I don’t make resolutions ever since my weight escalated exponentially like the inflation rate in our country when my sole resolution every year is to lose some weight. I just hope I could learn to find joy in simplest things (yes, the silly smirk is still there) and appreciate life to the fullest.
