17 days into 2010. I still haven't concluded my 2009. Every new year is too busy as well as too lazy to conclude the old year and too skeptical about new year resolution. It repeats itself for the fourth year. My procrastination started to happen ever since I started to work. However, I feel it is a mistreat for my 2009 if I did not pen down the important events.
January 2009:
1. I dyed my hair and permed my hair. I was La-Mei, according to one of my colleagues.
2. Unbelievable that I was watching "Something gotta give" for the second time on 15th of January. It felt like yesterday that I saw Keanu Reeves kissing Diane Keaton.
3. Wait a minute; I found my wishlist for 2009... My god, I wrote it on 17th of January as well. Gosh! What a coincidence. [My 2009 so far]
