The year is coming to an end and its time me to recap the year and have more resolutions for the new year.
This year has been a really eventful one for me and it literally flew by in a blink of an eye. It felt just like yesterday when I went for the Miss Singapore auditions early March and I remember so so clearly that I literally rushed from the airport the minute I touched down from my turnaround flight to go to Mediacorp for the audition. I was in the last batch of girls to be “screened” that night and I did it with Christabel. My first impression of her was like “Wow! She’s super tall and skinny! Die lah! I’ll look so short n chubby beside her…”

I met YY, Xuemei and Celest that same night too! Never did I expect to come such a long way after that fateful day. It has been a whirlwind of a year especially when I got the chance to represent Singapore in Mexico. That experience itself is priceless. I must say that this year has brought a lot of changes to my life. It’s not a turning point but I grew as a person. Being alone in Mexico made me a lot more mature and realised that people relationships are extremely important. I used to think I just do my work well and that’s it! But doing your work well is one thing, being recognised for it is another.

But I still believe in karma… do good things and good things will come your way eventually. That’s why I really try not to do the things that people do that pisses me off. Say for example really bad road manners, or in general bad manners. The other day I was holding the door open for this mother pushing a pram and all she did was to stare blankly at me as if I am supposed to do that. I’m not asking her to thank me profusely but a simple smile of appreciation would be nice. But all she did was walk thru, looked at me indifferently and went on with her life as if I was her maid! *sigh*

Sometimes I just wished everyone was nicer to the rest of the world and not so self centered.

ok, back to my new year’s resolutions….

1. Go for more yoga consistently
2. Wake up earlier in the mornings (I’m a late sleeper and riser)
3. Take up acting/Chinese lessons (I’m determined to master the Chinese language)
4. Learn a new language
5. Tidy up my mess (that should be ongoing! *haha*)
6. Appear in a Channel 8 drama serial ( I really really wanna be in a Channel 8 drama, whether I make it or not, well at least I tried!)
7. Eat less chocolates/ improve my diet
8. Decorate my new home! (can’t wait to move in when it’s ready… supposed to be ready sometime mid 2008)
9. Adopt a dog (if time permits)
10. Make the “Preserve Planet Earth 2008” project a success
11. Blog about my Ms Universe experience before the next pageant!!! (then it’s stale…)

Hmm…. I’ll add on more before the year ends…

Time for everyone to think how the year has went by and how we can make next year a better one!

Happy New Year!!!

XOXO
