Bye Bye 2008

How was your whole 2008? I bet it was memorable and amazing.
Finally, it's time to say "Goodbye" to the year of 2008 and "Welcome" to the fresh start of 2009 where you will spend the next 365 days living your life. In such a blink of an eye, a year has gone by leaving both good and bad times, cheerfulness and sadness, ups and downs that we have been through. Today is the last day of 2008. It's time to ask ourselves or a family member or a friend some interesting questions:
1. What have you accomplished over the last 12 months?
2. When was the moment that you were proud of yourself?
3. What positive and negative changes have you made?
4. What have you learnt from last year mistakes? Name three.
5. What was the best thing that happened to you this year?
6. Who have always been there when you needed the most?
7. Who did you think about when you were lonely?
8. What's something you go through that was really tough?
9. What new people did you meet that are now in your life?
10. What character trait did you develop most this year?

I want you to take your time think of the questions before you give the answers. Some of them may take time and are not easy to answer right away. This is a way you can keep progress of yourself and help your mind focus on what and who matters to you.

Whether they are big or small, long term or short-term goals over the next 12 months, you must have goals. Goals is like a guide book when you are in a new town, like a candle when you are in darkness, like a motivator behind your back. You can make everyday closer and closer to your goals where your dreams come true. However, goals should be realistic. Below are things to consider about:
- Improve your social life by making more friends or builiding stronger relationship if you have had enough
- Be more financially successful though the world economy is collapsing
- Finding the love of your life, your soul mate.
- Pursue a higher education
- Losing the weight or staying fit
- Love yourself more than ever
- Learn new skills: photoshop eidtor-i.e.
- Visiting new places, and old friends
- Returning home

My Ipod Family

Finally, my long-awaited Ipod Shuffle which i had ordered online five days ago arrived today. One reason i like online shopping is that it gives me a thrill (somehow exciting) whenever i recieve my order. In other words, it makes me feel like living with a goal (waiting for something) and purpose (what to do next when i get it). By acknowleding the things that make me happy can definitely lead me to a happier life. With goals and purposes, my daily life is meaningful. In constrast, without them, it is meaningless. I want to make a huge leap to reach my ultimate goal but it seems that the cliche "Rome wasn't built in one day." is true. I believe that each day is a stepping stone on the road of success. There are always obstacles, but as long as i don't give up, i will overcome. Ok, first i was talking about ipod and then about goals, success. Geez. No relevance. Let's go back to ipod and then just ipod, nothing else.

From left to right:
1. My first Ipod series, Ipod Classic 80Gb: this guy is 20Gb bigger in hard disk size than my laptop. Having it is like having whole gallery of media in my pocket.
2. The second ipod i got, Ipod Touch 16Gb: this guy is almost like a pocket pc, it saves me a lot of time. I used my laptop less after i got it.
3. Welcome the newbie of the family, Ipod Shuffle 1Gb: with its small size and back clip holder, it is convenient for my gym workout and on the go.
However, my first ever mp3 player is this one. I haven't touched it for a long time. Love it still.
PS: Seriously, i don't mean to show off.

Freezing Day Begins

"Brrrrrrrrrrr" It's freezing cold. As of today, the temperature in Redmond is 27F (-2.7c). I was recently asked whether i prefered living in a hot or cold weather. I then answered i prefered winter to summer due to the fact that i don't want to have darker skin. Snow had been falling heavily that my car was covered with it. Snow can be beautiful but it causes more disadvantages than advantages. Examples include difficulties and risks in driving, wiping your car before you leave, staying at home all day, you name it because i don't know other reasons. Lolz. One good thing about snowing is CLASS CANCELLATION. What? I'm such a lazy student. Yes i am.

First up, i was snow-writing "I LOVE YOU" for everyone i love, esp my mum, but i couldn't do it. So i did this instead. It has the same meaning.













This is the first time i made a heart-sharp snowball. My clothes were all dirty and my hands were numb.





















Question: is snow edible? Of course, it is, but chance is you might have diarrhea after all.

















It is the same spot i took a picture last year.
Taken from window. Does it look sad and lonely at all? Kinda.
That's it for today. Happy Holidays.
