Hi! Happy 2010 and 1431 Hijriah!

I hope you had a wonderful, safe and alcohol-free New Year's eve. *ahem* I, for the first time, stayed in that night after 2 years being a bangla here. I do love the concept of a new year- much much more than the drunken festivities associated with its eve. new beginnings and new goals are delicious to contemplate. thus, a new set of resolutions has to go along as the side kick. i've listed mine, almost none of them worth sharing though. but i'm afraid that one of those wouldn't be a success without you.

i need your help, friends. i need constant reminders for me not to spend too much on unnecessary stuff like handbags clothing make ups per se. i have to spend money on useful stuff from today onwards. less fancy coffees, less bubble teas, less yogen fruz and booster juice.

that new year's eve, I was in denial- for the fact that i had to stay in after two years celebrating it elsewhere; so i took a long hot shower and then i talked to a very very extremely dear friend of mine, for about an hour or so. Talking to him is more like an every fortnight routine for us. So I told him the sad news, that I might not be able to make it this summer, that he has to wait for another year, which btw totals up to 3 years of us not seeing each other. It was intense the first minute i blurted it out but we're both casual about it after. of course it wasn't a news one would go pleasant about, but i'm glad he's okay. the hard kind of okay, i must say though. so that's basically how i spent my new year's eve.

also, i've had a lot of questions from friends on why i chose not to go anywhere this winter. clarification is very much needed by many so here goes: aku dah penat berjalan masa summer dan saved and spent CAD4k mase tuh so winter ni aku nak shopping sakan. which of course, successfully accomplished :)

on another completely different note, i've a story to share, derived from the story i told kimpit.

ok here's the story. me and kimpit talked, we laughed, we sang, we had phones on our ears but we both stayed silent sometimes, that's normal for us. but when we talk, we share things. and of course, since we came from the same circle of friends, stj stories came up. that's when this particular story surfaced. since that night was Jan the 1st, and how 30th Dec was a "has-been" dear friend's birthday. so long story cut short, we talked about that "has been". and we thought, wow, quite a controversial life you lead, missy. then i told him how that "has-been" didn't show up the day i had to give her some souvenir i bought here 2 years ago, and that she didn't answer my call nor replied my texts. then when i called her, she rejected it. when i used my sister's number, she picked it up. woah, bitchy much weren't you?

so i left the thing i was supposed to give her to another dear friend of mine. then i flew off back to canada. when i was back here in canada, she claimed that gift. how tak tau malu right? to add on the silliness, she didn't even say thank you after. wow. rude things come in a combo now huh? bravo bravo. and actually there's many more but tak baiklah nak cerita semua right

so this man, whom i adore so much, who listened the whole story told me one simple golden rule. "next time if u balik malaysia kasi ole ole kat orang yg nak jumpa je, if dia xnak jumpa, u takpayah kasi. tayah nak kirim2 kat orang lain. tak kira lah dah kawan 10 tahun ke, atau mase kat sekolah dulu musuh. yang penting masa present, bukan zaman sekolah dulu"

so true isn't it? so, miss "has been". i'm scratching your name off completely this year. that's also one of my resolutions.

lesson learnt. some friends are horrible. i'm getting that fact straight now.

eh dah malas pulak nak menulis lagi. later lah.
