Season blues...

Finally my internet is back on track after some tedious trouble shooting processes. Tried all kinds of ways like calling PI technical support, clear viruses, change cable, tried direction connection to wall point, reformat computer, resetting modem and saving details, sent modem for check and nothing seems to be able to resume my internet connection to the speed it should be going. Finally the good and efficient technical support officers from PI after going through with me a series of tests on my pc thru the phone decided to send Singtel ppl to outside my house to check my phone line connection to the ADSL. Yeah. Indeed they find some fault with the line and had rectified the problem. Phew...I hope this problem will not be back again. It is so troublesome without able to surf internet smoothly!

I have no intention to write New Year resolutions this year. Probably know that they usually are hard to be fulfilled and ended up becoming impractical if without practical actions. I look back my last year resolutions and found most are too general and just idealistic desires.

My Caps score was improved slightly by this semester's results but that doesn't thrill me much since still not good enough to be taking Honours in my opinion. It does make me ponder for a long time whether I should change my mind but somehow something in me just wants me to follow my heart instead of doing something for the sake of doing. Just like being a sales promoter, I can only sell things if I believe in it not for the sake of selling it away. Same here if I want to continue my Honours degree, I want to do it out of willing passion not out of obligation. Nonetheless, I still hope for some miraculous force or motivation that will halfway change my mind or something...

Perhaps the main highlights of this year 2005 is my overseas project to Chiang Mai and the change in my 'marital' status to being attached this year. Both of which are one of my wishes for this year. What is next on my agenda in year 2006 is probably my graduation ceremony and the new start in the working world. So I guess the only wish that I have for next year is to be able to land myself in a job proabably in the social service sector. The main motivation for me to get a job is to get paid so that I can help relieve my Daddy in paying some bills and ultimately get him to retire soon! I don't want him to work and work and work! My mum needs more time to enjoy life with him too! I really would not mind spending less and saving more in future just to pay for all the bills enough to have him stop working, seriously. Thus ask me what my job ambition is, I don't have big dreams to fulfill. I just want a reasonable stable income to start with and I bet I would know more of what I want along the way.

I think shopping sucks. Window shopping alone is enough to make you crave and desire for things that you don't initially need in the first place. It gives you the chance to find out what you don't have and creates the temptation to want to possess them. I don't enjoy shopping as much now. I will only go shopping when I need to buy things mowadays. Or if I feel that I have extra cash to spare. But don't be mistaken that I hate shopping larh. I still see shopping as important in knowing what's the latest trends and products commonly found in the market and also an opportunity to people-watch the newest fashion, hairstyle and colour among youngsters in the streets. Shopping still has its joy la despite having to curb the desire to buy things.

Glad to have the annual 2/4 chalet to attend once again and to have it held during Xmas period is all the more splendid!

So merry xmas to all of you!

P/S: I have not been meeting out with a particular pri sch fren for a long time. We used to meet out some time for swimming and shopping but seem not anymore...I believe each of us is assuming that the other is busy with her own friends and stuff and thus never took the initiative to call out. I dunno what caused the drift. I wondered if she still reads my blog... Maybe cos I am seldom on MSN so less chances to know of each other's updates. I still hope that she will contact me if she sees this...
