Happy Chinese New Year!!! It's the Eighth Day of the festival, everybody is still well and running...
My CNY celebrations are similar to the previous years... relative visiting here and there... off the Johor... more visiting... watch TV... eat.. and that's almost it... Well, what do you expect?? CNY is a celebration when relatives, friends and family get together ain't it??
Speaking about TV... The thing i love most about CNY, besides the reunion-get-together part is the TV programs.. When my VCR was still working, I'll usually be recording a whole lot of them so that i can watch them over and over again during the year... But now, it's not working.. and I couldn't stand the faces of the Sony people when I send it for repair.. Honestly, what is wrong with wanting a VCR to get fixed?? It's old fashion, yes.. I know, so what?? People in the advance countries like US and Japan still uses those you know... It's very useful if you ask me...
Back to my title.. I have been thinking and I guess I'm having too much in my mind and I'm going nowhere with any of that.. yet... (I have not started my korean classes just yet)
I've always wanted to go overseas and stay there for a while not really for travelling purposes but to live a in a different place and lead a different life from the one back at home... I'm not too confident that I will be able to get a job overseas... So my next best thing is to study.. although I don't really fancy studying but I dont mind if I had the chance to..
So, one of my New year resolution is to go to Singapore this year.. but I guess i'll have to cancel that and start saving for something bigger tomorrow.. maybe celebrate my birthday at a different place.. other than home.. a different state or maybe a different country... It's the year of the dragon next year.. I have gone through 2 full cycles of the chinese zodiac years in my life.. and that's something special that's worth a celebration.. besides, I need some excitement to stop me from feeling old as I'm aging all the way and i'm getting really pessimistic about that.. something like that may be able to cheer me up... my dull life is leaving me realising that i have not done much in my life.. somehow wasting my years with nothing much to remember..
should I go travel, backpack alone?? that is really exciting... but i'm kinda scared about that... i have been trying to do things alone nowadays.. like going shopping alone.. going to a concert alone (soon.. i'll blog about that if i have the mood).. eat out alone.. and some other things that i may be trying out soon.. alone... so i'm still considering...
if i manage to save enough funds... i'll be going off overseas, to stay for a year or so and living alone.. i should be getting use to that... i was kinda desperate for a company but it seems not many(actually, there's none) of my friends are interested, but now to me, it's kinda pathetic.. so i'll be living up by myself from now on.. i dont really need company everytime i want to do something...
oh well... hope it goes off well..
and still... Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!
Signing off!!
toodles..

haha, not bad ar...yah, i wud say go for it...u know western ppl like having a year or two off after graduating to travel, most of the time backpacking, working vacation (popular in Aus & NZ especially)...so yes, if you could save enough and have the flexibility, go all way out girl!! u have my mental support (easy for me to say huh? but then again, it's much more possible now that you are not tied down to anything), for myself, even as I think sometimes, if I could secure a nice phd scholarship i might just go off again somewhere, but then being realistic again it wont be really posibble now that I am paying off a house mortgage with my sis...and all those $$ debts...so yes, when you can afford to go, please do it for yourself (with your family consent that is:P)
oh yes, first thing i wanted to comment about the vcr...haha, i understand what u mean...it's just like the other day when I told my sister that I wanted to get redeem a mini hifi with my citibank points, and she was like 'for what? who in the world today still uses mini-hifi (or any form of cd player for that matter)...go for ipod la...she even willingly said that she wud pay the remaining amt which is out of my RM200 budget...anyway i ended up not getting either of them, as now I have something in mind which i wanted to spend my money on...hehe, i am interested to enrol in a contemporary dance class...before i get too old and all my bones/joints refuse on any action:P
oooo...u r really tempting me la;PPP
but at this point i dont think so yet la (even though there's a year time to consider)...as i am actually accumulating $$$ & leave for my eye op ($$$ will cost RM7K or more, and leave - if I could take 2 weeks or more off it will be good:PP) so I dont think in any near future i'll be doing any travelling at all...
haha, and abt the hol, when i first read i tot u wanted to take some months of to travel and stay in the place to experience the local life and culture (maybe 2-3 months that sort even if not 6 months or one year)...i tot you'd quit the job and get another one after coming back (which is a very bold idea i tot!;P) but yah, it's good to be more grounded...a week's hol's easy, many of my colleagues take 1 week plus some days off if they go for holiday somewhere far, so it's normal for ppl to take such a duration of leave...just make sure your own work arrangement that is...
and haha, yah i really like the songs of j wo, i downloaded his two albums (full) online and there are actually some other nice songs not on youtube...and there are 3 plain acapella pieces which i really like~ sometimes it's refreshing to listen to something new...if ur intersted i could make u a copy and pass to u this saturday:P
