The 2007 Entry
Last year, on this date THIS was the entry I wrote.
I resolved to "be more effective come 2007. more punctual and less conflicted." I'm glad to say that I think I've more or less achieved the goals set.
Effective ☑
2 jobs hired and quit (no not fired) from. 1 unforgettable holiday. 1 large group of friends that I've continually added onto throughout 2007. A number of very worthy new friends made. 1 drinking habit quit. 1 smoking habit somewhat kicked. 2 new cameras bought. 1 boyfriend made and held onto for the longest ever.
Punctual ☑
I don't turn up 2 hours late anymore. More like... 20 min. Hey, that counts okay.
Less conflicted ☑ ☑ ☑
To the point of being quite vanilla. (:
Last year I also gave a list of ppl who changed my life in 2006 and personal msgs to each. In 2007, I don't really see a need to. The people who I love, I surround myself with. I have no need to put into type how much they mean to me. But, ever the queen of redundancy, I shall give a small shoutout:
To Ivan, Joel, Wei Shen, Gwen, Chee Meng, Ervin, Kenny, Paul, Wee Keng, Henry, David, Melvin, Kenneth, Janesh, Wendy, Kelvin, Sue Ann, Samantha, Sarah, Sophia, Vernia, Eva, Chris, Diyana, Capri, Aloysius and the countless others who made me laugh in person or on msn, or introduced new people to me, or even just had a drink or meal with me, I would like to say THANK YOU.
Thanks for making my 2007 go down as possibly the best year that I could live down.
And what's an entry without photos right? Here's the best snapshots of the year (which more or less starts from Feb/April cos my com crashed in Feb, effectively losing me my photos):
