happy new year!

December 31, 2009 | Published in | 3 comments

I've been travelling across the United States for the past 3 weeks. I am now back in SoCal and will finally be headed home tomorrow. We are ushering in the New Year with USA Hostels in what will hopefully be an exciting limo ride (one bottle of champagne each - for reals) across LA. I stepped in a massive pile of faeces last night after a Hooters dinner and neatly decorated the rear floor of the (rented) car with it. To console myself, I say the last days of the year should always be the shittiest - pun intended - to celebrate a new dawn. 2009 has been good to me: I moved to San Diego, and I found someone whom I never thought in a million years I'd find. I don't believe in resolutions, but one thing that would better my life includes not bloody sweating the small stuff.

If 2012 means the end of the world, then, well, bring it on 2010.

2008 was by no means altogether shit; it was, in fact, a year of many unexpected surprises. Like a box of chocolates or whatever it is that Forrest Gump says. 

Time for one of those magnanimous messages and objective yearly reviews:

1) I am eternally grateful to those who have tolerated my ability to get angry about anything and everything that moves and doesn't move. It is a horrible habit, I must admit. If I have harmed you verbally or physically this year, I am sorry. If I haven't (yet?)...well, this is a warning. 

Really, to all those who have listened to my incessant bitching, thank you. I will bake more.

2) I am also eternally grateful for the food on my plate, gym membership and Miu Miu handbag.

3) OK fine I will study harder this year since I already do that whole 5-days-a-week-at-the-gym thing that most people aim to do during the start of the year. (Ha ha) 

4) I must really improve my grasp on spoken Mandarin and Cantonese. 

5) Whatever will be, will be.
