i don’t think i was ever someone who come out with resolutions to fulfil every new year,

but since everyone seem to be doing it on their blogs,

(yes i’m such a copycat)

i shall churn out a simple list too.

and hopefully at the end of 2010,

i can proudly say i completed more than 80% of them.

1) lose weight

(yes this is of utmost priority haha)

2) be more independent

(rely less on my mom, be less of a nuisance to kingchan, etc)

3) put in more effort at work

(in order to surpass that lying idiot hmmph)

4) learn to handwash my clothes

5) cook at home occasionally

(hope i find the time though!)

6) take better care of my skin

(SKII shen qi shui!)

7) spend even more time with mommy

8 ) work harder for jara petit!

9) save more money

10) travel to somewhere (really just anywhere out of singapore) with kingchan!

…

and of course on top of all that,

i really hope 2010 will be a better year for everyone,

that all my loved ones (and my loved ones’ loved ones) and myself will be in the pinkest of health,

and be very very very happy and contented.

last but not least,

(this may sound really stupid and it might seem to early to say this but)

i hope the world is not really going to end in 2012.

omg i can’t believe even xian has more recent posts than me!

my blog is dyinggg!

okays i’m determined to blog about my uber fantabulous nyc getaway with kingchan and my family soon!

but i have so much work stuff to settle before the kids start streaming in (school is starting on 4th jan!),

i doubt i’ll have the time to organise the pictures.

sigh.

work woes.

*a conversation over ebuddy just now, while i was getting inspirations for chio winter wear*

me: hey do you dress like this when you’re in NYC?

(i wanted to show him this picture instead: http://www.thesartorialist.com/photos/9089adidasWeb.jpg but decided that guy is too shuai already so not possible)

king chan: i dress like this when i’m in NYC

he dresses well in singapore,

he dresses even better over at NYC.

wow.

i totally love my boyfriend’s dress sense.

probably the 2nd last person in the entire world to get twitter (because i’m sure kingchan don’t have a twitter account yet hurhur)

but still i must exclaim,

I HAVE A TWITTER ACCOUNT NOW!

and i’m loving my twitter name,

@blackcaratcake

black because i’m black (duh!).

carat because i’m cara t(an).

and blackcaratcake because i love black carrot cakes!

nice name right!

but to be frank i don’t think i will be tweeting alot.

(plus i don’t exactly have an exciting life)

:/

so you can choose not to follow me hahaha.

but friends out there with twitter accounts,

gimme your usernames!

i wanna follow you guys on twitter!

p.s. i only have xiaxue and CNN on my twitter now (how boring )

—————————————————————-

twitter aside,

for those who are still unaware,

MY FLIGHT TO NEW YORK IS CONFIRMED!

meaning,

i’ll be flying on the 21st and will be seeing mr kingchan on the 22nd!

best thing about this trip,

i get to spend my (white one hopefully!) christmas with king chan there!

not as romantic as you might picture because my entire family is going along as well but it’s really good enough for me!

they must be the nicest parents to accommodate a willful daughter’s ridiculous wish of wanting to join her bf in new york.

so,

NEW YORK HERE I COME!

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

i didnt know my shoulders were blue in colour.
because somehow my blouse was stained on the inside with patches of blue that i can’t explain.
kinda scary huh. :X

i certainly hope i am
not going to morph into this:

saw this when i logged onto ebuddy this morning at work:

i really want to go NY.

but some things are really beyond my control.

this may sound really cheesy,

but really,

all i want for christmas is you.

(p.s. i just realised that i subconsciously used the word “really” in every sentence above )

now that i have my own room in office, it really feels like back in those hall days where we will always think of 1001 ways to decorate that little personal space.
but of course, i won’t be able to put up just about anything (it’s going to be a classroom afterall) but i’m really enjoying myself during this little process.
from finding the cutest alphabet chart to put up, to making/printing/laminating my own phonics wall posters, everything seems to make me feel good
anyways this random entry serves 2 purposes:
1. for me to kill time on the train before meeting dearest c-rew!
2. an attempt to revive this (almost) dead blog!

okays shall end this boring post with some pictures of my office!

p.s. my office still looks damn empty because my workdesk and pc hasn’t arrive yet but the room is still damn nice k heh :p

p.s.s. i’m damn proud of the monopoly game i made!

CLINCHING 3RD PLACE IN WORLD CHEERLEADING CHAMPIONCHIPS!

work has been treating me well recently.
nice environment, wonderful colleagues (my manager is uber nice n approachable i’m so glad!) and i’ll even get my own room (by monday!)!
so much so that i look forward to work everyday! (minus the waking up part of cause!)
but somehow i’m very fated with this colleague of mine, we always get posted to the same places! :/
well, i better start liking her more cause i’ll be facing her 6days a week for at least 2more years!
…
work aside,
i’ve been neglecting my camera for the longest time!
so all the pictures i’ve taken recently are all in my phone.
but all thanks to the wordpress application on iphone, i can upload photos directly from my iphone!
so here are some random pictures i’ve taken recently:
(pictures are all cramped at the end cause they don’t have the function for me to slot in between my text) i realise i can edit them from my lappie so that the text and pictures corresponds!

1) what i’ve been doing at work everyday

2) the dsylexia conference that took away weekend last week

3) some organic apples i bought. they’re just the size of ping ping balls!

4) one of my favourite students (he reminds me of ac cause he sails too!)

p.s. he’s the one in green/navy stripes in the group pic

on a weekday night!
