2010: Split-Roads
2011 is Here~
Another year, gone.
Boy, I seriously love this photo ^_^
Another year, gone.
2010, a year filled with many paths to be taken, many choices to be chosen, and also decisions to be made.
Nevertheless, time still passes, unwilling to wait for anyone and anything, and before you realize, 2010 is now history. Welcoming 2011, it's time to say goodbye to 2010, although it was a fun year and enjoyable slice of my life. It really is, was, a year that, I spent lots of time, thinking, pondering, wondering, what I should do, what should I not do, or what can I do. And re-visiting my 2010 New Year's Resolution last year....
2010 New Year's Resolution:
1. Challenge myself to take a blind leap once in a while. - checked. It's scary, but at the same time, it's fun =)
2. Try something.... different... - checked.
3. Love myself more. - nope... totally forgot about this one....
4. Chase my dreams. - Apparently, saying something and doing something isn't really of the same level.... fail...
**********
So, flashback to a list of things I've tried/done in 2010.... and a look see at how I've spent my whole year of 2010.
1. Tried making fake BLOOD.
Okay... so maybe it doesn't look real enough.... but what do you expect.... it's made out of Chocolate Syrup and food colouring... Perfectly edible in fact.... which might explain why Hollywood vampires enjoy drinking blood =)
2. Played Paint-ball~!! for the Third time.
I have to say I enjoy paintball, a LOT, even though it hurts as hell if you get hit and feel somebody split your head with a chainsaw if you get hit point-blank in the neck, but somehow there's that adrenaline rush to it, that you get when you're playing First Person Shooter games =)
3. Attended Chua's Brother's Wedding
Gosh, it seems... the topic of getting Married is starting to plague more and more of our young minds. Now it's all their brothers and sisters getting married, in due time, we'll be having to eat less to save money for giving out Ang-pao's to all our Ji-mui and Heng-dai's weddings....
4. Took my firsts proper Fireworks photos =)
There's one reason why I like Chinese New Year.... wait... no, maybe 2 reasons....
One, the Ang-Pau's.... ^^ Who doesn't like getting 'free' money?? Two, Fireworks~!
Fireworks on CNY sounds like the Pearl Harbour bombing during World War II. Chinese are known to be stingy.... but there's one thing they can pay their asses off just for the sake of Chinese New Year. Fireworks ^^
5. Had Cockroach for Supper
Well, no, I didn't eat it. But apparently my mom's Soup was so deliciously tempting that our poor friend couldn't help resisting a taste of it. Before you know it, Wa-la~ and it cleaned my bowl for me @_@
6. Learned.... .... to Draw~
Uh... haha.... obviously this isn't.... really the best of my capability.... this guy is a common model used for hand-eye coordination practice when first learning drawing.... although, I DID get better along the way...
Oh, and this.... To, Chiaw Yee, if you're reading this, that's supposed to be you btw ^_^" One of my earlier sketches.... when I first started drawing....
I'm not drawing as much anymore though.... because I just can't seem to get in the mood when my mom is hovering around me in the living room.... I just need privacy when I'm drawing....
7. Got 3rd Prize for a 'Faces of Curtin' Photography contest
Although it's just a smalltime contest, but I just thought it'd be fun to play around and try my luck. And I won 3rd prize with help of my friends, and especially Tuang, my model for the picture below, hehe.
8. Saw a Cake.... ....
Shaped like a DURIAN~!!!
I swear to God, I totally thought it was a REAL durian when I first saw it.
9. I.... took a giant leap....
It's fun to do something crazy once in a while.... though sometimes these stuff don't always turn out the way you expect it to be, and they always tend to keep you on edge....
10. Saw a new-born BUTTERFLY for the first, close up~!!
Never realized that butterflies were so cool and beautiful.... until I saw one, at 4am one morning, just climbed out of it's cocoon and drying its wings.... with my very own eyes ^_^
11. Bought a rose for the very first time
With the intention to give it to someone.
12. Made full use of my laptop's resources =)
By full use.... I meant.... fully utilizing what's available to you.... hehe.... though maybe I overdid it...
Not everybody makes use of their computer to THIS extent... my poor RAM....
13. Went to Brunei
To eat Sushi~ TWICE~
14. Attempted Lucid Dreaming
Though I never really managed to succeed, the process of trying.... is pretty fun =)
15. Burnt lecture notes 0_0
Why keep something you won't be needing? Hehe.... Well, that is... if I graduate without problem =)
16. Did.... the craziest thing ever
Which I'm not gonna say what... hiak hiak~
17. Got hooked on Yaoi, again...
The clarity and beauty of these drawings never cease to amaze me.
18. Visited the Tip of Borneo!
At long last of being a Sabahan, finally, I visited the Tip of Borneo for the first time =)
Pictures don't do justice for the scene.... it surely is, a place that you have to go and see for yourself to know how wonderful it is =)
**********
Happiest Moment of 2010:
- Probably the last few days where I spent my time with my beloved friends, just hanging out and having fun.
Craziest thing I did in 2010:
- refer to no. 16.
Most regretful act of 2010:
- not too sure about this one.... but I might re-consider spending hours and hours on Maplestory, on something else instead.... IF I had the chance...
- I don't regret the things I've done. It's the things I didn't do that I regret not trying, at least...
Lesson learned in 2010:
- Some things are never meant to be.
**********
That's about it for 2010, having re-capping what I'd done for the whole past year, I guess it's time to decide what I should change for 2011.
2011 New Year Resolutions:
1. Strive to be a better person 0_0 and also improve myself in various aspects.
2. Dare to Dare. Dare to Say. Dare to Do.
3. Be ambitious, and fight for a whole new life.
4. Live free~!!
I guess that's it for this year's resolutions =)
So what I have to do next is work hard, and live up to my own expectations, hehe
So long~
