Happy 2012!

My Red Bean Romance is not dead!

In fact... MRBR has made a fresh start again. The romance that inspired me with this name for my blog in 2008, apparently has a sequel. Dun dun dun...

I may talk about it sometime soon, when I feel inspired to do so, but yeah, just a heads up that a brand new life has started again for me. Same old problems but being faced by a evolutional person, I could say. 4:46am during a school day isn't the greatest time to be drafting a intellectual blogpost!

I was rather delighted to discover that...

Blogger has an iPhone app! Therefore, this is the virgin post made from my phone. I think I blogged through my Blackberry before, but getting the blogger app was ideally what I wanted! The itunes store has virtually EVERYTHING you can imagine.

Short posts: pretty okay. Long posts: break my wrist eventually.

So looking forward to a new start and hopefully more blogposts.

Happy 2011

December is always the busiest month of the year. I thought I was going to drown in the amount of things lined up. At first, I thought I would be able to have a break doing absolutely nothing at all from the 27th up to New Year's Day. Unfortunately, my 27th morning started with me cursing mercilessly whosoever the SOB who announced I back from overseas when I received my on the job phone call early 27th morning.

Mebbe the older I get, the less I need to blog out my life! Hopefully, it's because I haven't started to warm up with inspiration yet. Hopefully, it's just because I'm insanely busy.

As tradition, this is 2011's resolution:-

1. Graduate with good grades. And I can move on with the next stage of life and there will be one major thing off my shoulders.

2. Be able to handle everything more wisely and efficiently. Kill as many giants as I can. Be bigger bitch.

3. Have a fixed source income. Achieved!~ Save and reinvest and watch my money grow to epic proportions (my standard of 'epic' for this is actually really low!). 50% discount on properties less than RM350k (as compared to last 2 years RM250k) What do you know, my procrastination has achieved something decent again...

4. Be healthy and youthful to enjoy the fruits of my labour.

5. Taking cosplay to an international level. 

6. Loose more fat and flab. In metrics, wants to loose another 7 kilos.

7. Have more fun outings with friends. Wants to go to Japan with CML after our graduation.

8. Be more open minded & hearted and learn not to take offense from whoever. Shoot them back if it's too fun to pass up. 

I give up trying to be punctual. Mebbe if I give up trying, I might actually improve...

I actually achieved almost everything (or in partial) in 2010's resolution list except the aforementioned...

Hmm, this is probably a good time to mention this. That there's a guy I know who is really attentive to a lot of things I do or say, which is sweet. Decent credentials, stable job. He does have some minor attributes that I dislike (like being too quiet and then saying that I'm the one who is quiet and not answering my questions properly). Nothing's confirmed anytime soon because it's really still too early to tell (mebbe because we're both really slow people). Recently, I've just been thinking I would be a total idiot if I passed him up. But I'm not really sure, to be honest.

Talk to you guys soon!

Time Come Back To Me

Today is exactly the 4th month since Po passed away. Feels more than half a year.

Buin is supposed to bring over our puppy 25 minutes ago. Mum and I are still waiting patiently in the warm living room. She's blonde, introverted and we're (tentatively) going to name her Lucky. (Pun combination of her parents name, Larry and Suki)

As an attempt to keep me from falling into afternoon slumber, I shall blog about my 2010 resolutions.

1. Leave my hair long enough and eventually cut it in a way so that I can look like Gogo Yubari from Kill Bill. (That way, chikopeks will be subtly warned by possible disembowelment before they can pull out some hanky panky)

2. Cease sleeping at inhumane hours and start to be more disciplined when it comes to my internet/manga/gaming addiction.

3. Make it a habit to be punctual for everything (not just the things I like). Cease procrastination.

4. Save my skin every way possible.

5. Study hard, get good grades.

6. Pursue my passion aggressively without holding back. Be brave, be strong.

7. Eliminate the poisons and toxins in my life. (ie. negativity, paranoia, insecurity)

8. Meet Choi Siwon (and the rest of the Super Junior) in concert this March. 

9. Endure the remaining 2.5 months of work and tie up whatever loose ends.

10. Get another source of income.

11. Photograph more. Print a photo book.

12. Read like no tomorrow!~

13. Cosplay another 3-5 characters this year. Attend CF 2010. Mebbe if I feel like it, attend a convention overseas.

14. Launch my studio during the first half of the year.

15. Stop fluctuating between weights.

16. Travel more. 1st Quarter: Hong Kong, Italy, UK, Paris; Mid year: Melbourne (mebbe); Year end: Hong Kong (again), Japan/Taipei/Florida (Disney World!) or visit bestie in the US.

17. Play with my pets more! (Not like I'm playing with them any less!)

18. Expand the social circle.

19. Sponsor a child.

20. Blog more.

21. Contribute physically and actually get involved in the activities of my favourite charities.

 

22. Am thinking of being a freelance photojournalist cum designer.

Items to aim for in 2010 (following priority)

• Nikon 18-200mm lens (by March, because I must take photographs of Choi Siwon up-close)
  
• a Macro Lens (considering the 105mm)
  
• a Speed Light 
• Sky Light Filter for Lens
• Studio Lighting System (Profoto Lamps! *swoon*)

(Mr. Phoon can look forward to good business this year)

• Ipod Replacement Parts
• Audio Technologica Headphones (at the next PC Fair)
• Apple iMac 27-inch Quad Core Home System; fell in love with it's divine performance (December 10' PC Fair)
• A house before the year ends (while they're still having the 50% stamp duty discount), if I find the right one.
