这个圣诞。。。

Merry Christmas, dear friends!

This Christmas is different from the last... and certainly isn't like any of the rest. I saw a lot of my friends, even had a christmas lunch for the extended families at home. I met up with many different people, met new people... and my friend list on Facebook seems to be getting longer!

Syndy is back, so we went out to celebrate with a simple dinner (with Adeline). And coincidentally, we met Nathan, Waiwai and Alex on the eve too. It's a rare occasion, and it makes this festive season an even more special one.

I also MMS-ed (after testing out my MMS last month) greetings to some whom have 3G (MMS enabled) phones... I was quite disappointed when nobody MMS-ed me back because I would love to get one on my new BlackBerry. And then, one of my friends replied... apparently with a handsome picture of himself. Thanks Dennis.

The annual Xmas gift exchange has been always fun. I loved some of the stuff I received and as usual also got some crappy stuff. I decided that next year, I shall not set a budget and also not name who to do it with. Sometimes it's more meaningful to just give and receive without expecting one in return. That way, I reckon that person won't be "forced" to buy something for the sake of the "promise" or "budget". It will also be an eye-opener to see how much your friends understand you to get you something you want/need/like! So get ready for it!!

Syndy said we should set our 2010 resolution. Somehow I can't think of anything... These couple of years, I didn't set any. I only know that I hope I have a fresh new start in everything next year and able to forget the things I should forget... or maybe should I say accept them the way it is! It's weird the more you want something, the more it won't come... the more you want it to go away, the more it won't... the more you want to forget it, the more you won't... God, you're so mean :(

My sisters are both enjoying work-free days till 2010. Poor me will be the only one waking up for the next couple of days for work. Work wanted to extend me for the next 2 months... and I haven't decided. But I probably might... just need to sort something out for myself in the near future. x Fingers crossed x

Ms. Potatoe's philosophy 2009

Me thinks GIVING UP ON ONESELF is the last thing one should do... or probably something you never have to do!
Me thinks HOPE is the greatest gift of all time.
Me thinks CHANGE is often not a bad thing, it might be even a blessing in disguise!
Me thinks SOME THINGS IN LIFE ARE NOT REALLY WORTH IT, LET IT GO.
Me thinks LOVE is wonderful when shared, and a bonus when you are on the receiving end.
Me thinks LIFE IS SHORT, SO WHACK IT WHILE U CAN.
Me thinks HUMANS are the greatest inventions because they are so complicated.
Me thinks MONEY is not the greatest wealth in life, HEALTH is.
Me thinks THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE are those whom asks for the simplest and most little out of life.

Leave your bags behind

Leaving your bags behind isn't such a bad thing afterall...

Of course, when I said that I don't mean those when you travel (that will suck big time!), but then again remember to buy travel insurance! I didn't once and have learnt my lesson when I almost met a big misfortune.

Bags here mean your baggage, it can be emotional or anything that you have been carrying with you for a long time and encumber your freedom or progress or an ability to move on in life!

Com' on, throw them away with me :)))) It's 2009!!
