goodbye 2005

Reflections on 2005: Belated

1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd neverdone before?
Sleepover at a friend's place. First Navjote, then Jonk's, then Shib's.

2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions,and will you make more for next year?
I think I really did cherish whatever time I had and stayed as happy as possible.
This year, I wanna stay disciplined, be focus, keep healthy and develop a better self both in and out. Ok i guess it's hard to be specific.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Yes!!! Ms Hope Kelly gave birth to the adorable Elise Chan in July! congrats to them parents! I remember that visit made me want my own kid so much. But soon to come in 2006, more!

4. Did anyone close to you die?
No.

6. What would you like to have in 2006 that you lacked in 2005?
You know I don't really know what I want. I guess to be materialistic- more money. To be goal oriented- better grades. On a more intimate level, a close confidant whom i can turn to anytime. Hey you know what- love lah, from the people all around me- more of it, that is :]

7. What dates from 2005 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
19 june- because it is the best and i have learnt to love myself
28 feb- results day
2&4 nov- threesome days
6 dec- us trip day
many more stuff without a date attached to them, which obviously means theyve escaped frm my memory already.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
making it through j1, generally speaking. just surviving the crazy promos and having fun with acting and house comm stuff and meeting new people. i guess growing together with a group of close friends would count. keeping in touch and bday presents and all.

9. What was your biggest failure?
to be academic minded, the a2 for amath. but then again pple are putting bulllets thru my head for that this very instant so i shall shut up and say, very seriously, that all my failures whatever they may be helped me become a better person. i guess my failure to stay in touch with a lot of pple and my failure to control my temper at times. but really some pple just suck oh well they can screw themselves no worries :]

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I remember my sore throat over the chinese new year period and during drama fest rehearsals was one of the worst i ever experienced. the bloody antibiotics didnt work at all i had to get a new prescription. during ihc, i fell while playing table tennis and had to go to the hospital to check if my right wrist was fractured. it wasnt, but certainly felt so. oh and recently pepper the dog scratched me, haha!

11. What was the best thing you bought?
I can't really remember, everytime i buy myself smthing it shld mean something special. maybe the crab hat from boston, since all other stuff aint my money anw.

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
the jokers around me who made me laugh came in diff forms, but really made everything all worthwhile.

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
there was this guy from class who was really irritating. -whistles away-

14. Where did most of your money go?
to be deadpan and realistic- food and notes? but hmmm, probably to stuff i bought in the us. i hope to be more selfless and spend on others next time.

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
threesome, hmun, ashlee's I Am Me release, orientation, and promos? haha just joking. a perverse excitement, maybe.

16. What song will always remind you of 2005?
quiet by rachel yamagata. boyfriend by ashlee simpson. only one by yellowcard. too many to list you crazy twit who asked this question. but really, it was the gwen stefani, kelly clarkson, black eyed peas year, with the return of madonna and the backstreet boys. hmmmmm
to be extra specific, our orientation batch dance song- goldmember and freestyler for sure.

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder? happier, i wasnt leaving the school!

b) thinner or fatter? fatter, because i need to be!

c) richer or poorer? poorer cuz i spent hell lot in jc.

18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
lazed around with friends. laughed. sang and danced. read!!! watched more reality tv. packed my room. so many things like spend more on myself too. argh!

19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
thinking and being emo, being too focused on the past, being too broody and sensitive.

20. How will you be spending Christmas?
since this questionaire is overdue i shall answer in retrospect. i spent it with the family watching my grandpa's bday video. boxing day, if still counted, was spent at my cousin's party dancing and having fun.

21. Did you fall in love in 2005?
lalala. nope not yet.

22. How many one-night stands?
i forgot!

23. What was your favorite TV program?
since just shoot me's out of the running, probably project runway?

24. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
now im in a zen mood so ask me this another time.

25. What was the best book you read?
i didnt read anything outside my lit text so maybe silas marner.

26. What was your greatest musical discovery?
cant think of one. ashlee is throbbing in my head.

27. What did you want and get?
i wanted good promos grades, good health, my scholarship and s papers, a chance to act, to be in house comm, to have fun and make more friends. i guess ive been really lucky :]

28. What did you want and not get?
council, which i guess was a blessing in disguise. and many stuff, like being the best in smthing or learning a new instrument or language. oh well, we cant have it all can we.

29. What was your favorite film of this year?
crazy piece of cookie! i had many! just like heaven, narnia, goblet of fire, king kong, wallace and gromit, mixed nuts, about schimdt etc.

30. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
why cant i seem to remember? im quite sure i celebrated with family but where? was it garibaldi? oh well, i got my just shoot me dvd thats for sure :]

31. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
CIP and helping out others. maybe a finding/developing of a best friend! you know im always looking for one.

32. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2005?
2005 was crap. but 2006, i promise to be hot chocalate fudge.

33.What kept you sane?
music, friends, myself, sleep and water. the world around me can really work both ways.

34. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
ashleeeeeeeeee

35. What political issue stirred you the most?
politics is a childish thing.

36. Who did you miss?
not really who, but what.

37. Who was the best new person you met?
this is an impossible question. i hope by the end of 2006 i can answer this question for real. though special mentions would include most members of my class, the pple ive worked with while acting, and random friendly pple who have brightened up my days someway or another.

38. Tell us a valuable life lesson:
cherish whatever you have, especially time.

39. Song lyric that best sums up your 2005:
"so many emotional days"
