For my housemate....Weiyee

it's been almost a year...
just one more night...tomorrow will be the last night!
i just said "good night" to her and closed my room door...
it has always been the same repeated actions,
yet it felt so uncomfortable...
so much so that tears just roll down my cheeks...
the sadness has been settling in since last week...
trying so hard to ignore and pushing it away...
avoiding talking about it...mininium!!
cos i hate it...hate the fact that she's leaving so soon...
hate that she wouldn't be around the apartment when
there's funny stuffs from the lab to tell,
complains and anger to whine about,
news or gossips to share,
ideas of places to go or things to do,
food to be sampled and share,
going shopping at the mall or online,
sitting on the sofa looking through catalogs etc...
just realised how much we did together in a year!
how "used to" i had became...
how her "jab" of postive attitude simplify things in life...
her dose of encouragements from time to time...
and frustrations with her mess around the apartment at times...
there were lotsa fun, laughter and craziness....
mixed with bits of disagreement, anger and unhappiness...
i don't know if i'd been a good housemate to her,
i felt she's been a great housemate to me...
there might be no other chance in future that we'll be living together again,
it's an unique one and only experience in life for both of us...
glad that it's you...THANKS FOR A YEAR OF EVERYTHING, WEIYEE!
will miss you and remember "WYPX" only in Albany, NY!

01-03 Jan 2009 - Snowboarding at Gore Mt (Video)

finished uploading the xmas stuffs...
it's time for my latest adventure!
now it's WINTER~
with lot of snow falling lately,
it's a good time for some winter sports
did both downhill ski and cross-country ski,
this time i had a go on snowboarding!
it's more fun than skiing...
the basic skills are much harder to master...
i fell down more too...
in the end, i bought home two bruised kneecaps and a sore bum!
to learn the heel-side turn...
i fell so hard and many times on my bum that it hurts abit when i sit...
and to get the toe-side turn...
i busted my kneecaps...
practice makes perfect is the way to go~
even though it hurts, it didn't stop me from continuing...
and i cant get enough of snowboarding...
i wanna go again again again!!!
hahaa~~
******
some videos of my snowboarding skills... :P

**more pics to come soon**

usually this should be a new year's resolution(s) entry...
but for PX...it's gonna be different!
haha...who cares for the norm anyway??
shall list down my major "booking" plan for 2009...
and some thoughts to be ponder on...
******
JAN: more of winter sports actions??
just came back from my 1st snowboarding fun...
though with all those bruises on both my kneecaps and my sore bum...
cant get enough of it!
FEB: even more of winter sports actions...
a bobsled trip to Lake Placid
MAR: a very-much-looking-forward-to trip back to SG
yes...it's gonna be so short, crazy, "waste-of-money", busy, tiring etc
it's a promise....i will be BACK!
APR: it's Spring...guess what??
Time for Sakura at Washington DC...
MAY: Road Trip!!
air ticket already booked to Seattle for two weeks...
my 1st road trip in US to Yellowstone National Park from Seattle...
JUN: time to pack up~
seeing the rest of Crazy Eight flying back home...
JUL: i don't really want it to come so fast but....
it's time to say GOOD BYE~ 16 Jul is it!
hehe...a stopover in Frankfurt for 2 weeks too...
AUG: BACK HOME!!
mark your calendar...01 Aug!
i cant wait to attend the MAYDAY concert too...
SEP - DEC: hmm....will i have a job and be working already?
******
so much for all the fun listed above...
there are still a few things in my mind to be think about too...
actually those questions been lingering around...
putting it aside cos i havent been able to decide for myself...
yes...i'm a procrastinator at times!
and it's also because I DON"T KNOW!!!
one of them which is until now i still cant give an answer to myself on:
"What do see yourself to be in 5 years time?"
it's a typical interview question... maybe that's why i hate interviews!
i have no idea on that...
could only think mostly 1 or 2 years down the road
as always i'm going with what i like or feel like doing...
but sometime ago someone had enlighten me that
i should ponder on this so that i wouldn't be "hanging-in-the-air"
sort of a wake-up call to "grow" up and put on some responsibilities~
*sigh* i guess i have to ask myself "What do i ultimately want in my life?"
should be on the very top of my resolution list...
stranded at the crossroads of my life...
signs of getting old??? *duh*
signs of maturing??? *a better word*
or just thinking too much...
******
gosh~i'm crapping abit too much for a start of a new year!
