Ah the end of the year is nearing.
My boss had been giving me shit this entire week after giving me my bonus. Is it worth it after all?
Have been getting Christmas presents from colleagues and when I met up with Jas, Crystal, Ailing and Estella yesterday. I felt bad I didn’t get them anything.
Lots of random updates to come. I haven’t blog in awhile.
Watched Chipmunks with Boy last night. It was really good! I mean, its my childhood cartoon afterall. Had to persuade Boy many times before he relented and watch it with me. I’ve got the power of persuasion (better way of stating manipulation).
Been shopping quite a bit also. Bought presents for Boy and his family, my family, and haven’t got some for others as well. I’m starting to hate shopping, coupled with the fact that shopping at Orchard with the Christmas crowd is sheer madness.
Looking forward to the yearly Christmas dinner with the girls, and I haven’t wrap or box up some presents yet. I love wrapping presents actually. And its really a joy to give!
I busted lots of money this month. This is so sinful.
My acceptance letter from Korea Uni has arrived! Gonna collect it on Monday and get the loan application done with my mom. And I’m gonna bring her out for Christmas’ eve lunch!
Oh by the way, 23rd December is Lil’ Christmas Eve in Norway! I think I mentioned it last year.
Alrights, gonna do one of theses questionaire thing again which I grabbed from Joyce’s blog:
1) Where did you ring in 2007?

Oh and on resolutions.
My last year’s were:
My 2007 Resolutions
- Lose fats, lose weight. (Like at least 3-5kg) >> Yes I lost weight! But I gained a bad habit.
- Study smarter. >>Eh this didn’t really work out.
- Save more money. >> This didn’t work out either.
- Get driver’s licence. >> I definitely ain’t anywhere close to this.
- Love myself more. >> I do!
- Go Hong Kong for a HUGE shopping SPREE. >>Thanks to my upcoming Korea exchange, I can’t afford this. I went Bangkok to spree instead.
- Improve my relationships with my family, my friends and my special one. >>I did improve my relationships with my family. Not that sure about friends, but been catching up lots.
- Be more organised! >> haha. A difficult feat.
And this year’s resolution is:
