It seems like time past extremely fast these few weeks. January speed by and now it’s going to be Chinese New Year soon! This also means that my final mocks are coming and I do not even have at least 50% progress in my revision. I always feel that having examinations right after the Chinese New Year is a terribly bad plan. We can’t even enjoy our new year without having to worry about the upcoming exams. I am determine to catch up on my studies over the next 2 weeks and enjoy a relaxing new year instead. “I shall worry about that later” is one of my undesirable tagline.
My check-list for the new year:
- Chinese New Year decorations – Check!
- Spring cleaning – Check!
- New clothes – Check!
- New Year goodies, snacks, chocolates, drinks and food – Check!
- Mahjong table – Check! We bought a new one after one of ours was stolen a few weeks back.
- Manicure nails – Check!
- Prepare my stomach to welcome all the delicious food and snacks – Check!
What else are there left?

Colourful candies

It’s the start of the new year right after Christmas. A very happy new year to you and I wish this year will be filled with lots of new and happy memories for you no matter which part of the world you are in! I had a blast during the small Christmas gathering at home and the countdown towards the new year is not an exception either. We held a not-so-small family and friends gathering at home. I love holding such parties in the comfort of my own house. It’s much more comfortable and I like how the entire house is filled with noise and laughter.
On a side note, I realised I fulfilled a few of my new year resolutions for 2009. Reading back the post I wrote at the end of 2008, I managed to get at least 50 marks for each of my UOL papers in the 2009 examinations and I got myself a new wallet as well. 2 out of 4 accomplished in the last year! I hope I managed to get those for 2010 done as well.

Merry Christmas to everyone! Did you take part in any countdown events last night?
On a side note, I actually drew the above illustration for my own Christmas cards but couldn’t find a inexpensive place to print it. There’s usually a minimum quantity of 100 to 200 and I don’t need that much. I only got to know of a shop at Bras Plaza that does printing for $1 per card with minimum spending of $30 from Ivy when we meet up for lunch last week. Hence, I will just leave the handmade cards for this year since it’s a bit too late to do that now.
I spent Christmas eve at home with my friends and family. We didn’t want to hang out at the parties due to the crowd. So Dad cooked steak and we had Christmas dinner at home. Michelle joined us for dinner and mahjong session as well. No turkeys on the table though.
