2005 is approaching. And quick too with barely two hours left.
What have you achieved? What have you got to be proud of in 2004? Did you manage to stick to your 2004 resolutions? Did all you hoped for came true? So many questions, aspirations, and dreams. So little time left to relish it all.
Well, back to reality.
Today, I had quite a field trip you could say. Went to 1Utama again. But this time, I spent almost the entire day shopping and eating and walking and talking with friends. Nicole and I reached 1U at around half past 10. Walked and browsed around the shops for a while like an hour plus before meeting up with Wai Chuen, Sharon, Choon Hoong, and then Michelle for a while at noon at McDonalds. Haven't had their fries in a long time, so was quite alright with it. Haven't seen most of them for a long time so was good to see that they haven't changed much and yet changed a little. Chatted over fries, burgers, and coke about almost everything under the sun, from college to our current lives and to the ever elusive topic of boyfriends and girlfriends.
Sharon had to leave after lunch to pay a visit to an "old and slightly sick friend" of ours. Michelle had to go too with some other friends of hers, which left Nic, Wai Chuen, Choon Hoong and I on our own to more shopping. Can't believe that I splurged again. Almost RM150 was burned today on three tops and a PJs set from Tangs. Sigh. Oh well. At least, I kept to one of my resolution of not buying any more jeans or books till next week at least. I think FOS is making a lot of money out of me. I've been visiting the place a lot these few weeks. Anyways, to cut things short, we ended up at Italianis at around three and hanged with Adelynn till half past four where we indulged ourselves in tiramisu cake and Addie's fettucini carbonara. The cake was good. Really good. And the carbonara was tasty as well. Will definitely visit the place again for dinner or lunch. I'm giving free advertising now. We got soft drinks and paper cups, plates and plastic spoons for the party tomorrow at the supermarket. Baskin Robbins ice-cream was bought as well. The espresso and cream ice-cream tastes really good. I'm happy that I made the right choice on that decision.
While walking around 1U today, there were these posters and banners advertising tonight's party and countdown celebration at 1U. But they were all cancelled for respect to the mega tsunami victims in Asia. It was a real downer looking at all these announcements pasted on the posters. It just totally ruined everyone's anticipation for the new year. Everyone will be quietly popping champagne bottles and cheering themselves to 2005 while mourning at the same time. I find this extremely depressing, which is putting me off the mood to do anything exciting as well. I'm so glad that we're not having the party tonight or else there'll be nothing to be really happy about. It's such a contradictory of events. On the bright side, at least the world didn't start off 2005 with this tragedy. But ending 2004 is equally saddening at the same time. Seeing all these celebrations cancelled is enough to put anyone in a foul mood even if they don't want to be in it.
In any case, here's to a another good and prosperous year! Cheers and Happy New Year world!
