3rd First Thing




First Thing #3 - Join a fun run.
If waking up at 4am is hard enough, try doing it for a 5k run. Now, I'm definitely not the athletic type so this challenge was something else. Although I had a hard time breathing most of the way, giving up was never an option. Finishing the race is such an achievement for me. I don't regret doing it, and I hope to do more of this in the future.

30 First Things

In light of my upcoming 3rd decade, I decided to do 30 things I haven't done before as countdown to the big event. This would make the next 3 months interesting and make me look forward to that day, rather than dread it.

So far, I think I've done 2 first things in the past months.

First Thing #1 -
Wear contact lenses.
This really scared me, because the thought of poking my eyes really freaked me out. But then again, armed with the determination to try something new, I overcame my fear and finally did it. We only live once, so might as well live it with clearer vision, right?

First Thing #2 - Learn a new language by myself.
For the past couple of months, I've been learning German through an audiobook. People at work have been looking at me funny for muttering unintelligible words while listening to my iPod. Doesn't matter, this new skill will definitely help me in the future. Guten Tag, Deutscheland! :)

Well, that sums up my very very short list. I still have 28 to go. Any suggestions? I'll try to write about the next 28 things, and post pictures for each :)

2009 Chinese Horoscope

Zodiac's nature:
Lively, quick-witted, amusing, vain, resourceful, intelligent, sensible,unconventional, inventive, mischievous, innovative, independent, a fastlearner with good memory, good in social skills but can be selfish andegoistic. Good at problem solving, ambitious, but prone to laziness.

There are two luck stars shining bright upon the Monkeys; their luck is in the upswing. It is a good year for them to exhibit their leadership. Everything goes smoothly, and they can reach their goals without so many difficulties. A promotion at work is also possible this year. Money luck is quite good, so they should grab this opportunity to maybe start their own business. With their leadership and communication skills, they are able to succeed over the competition. However, they have to beware of the "Spending Star" which is under their sign that will cause them to lose or spend a lot of money. In love affairs, it is a romantic year for the Monkeys. Single Monkeys should travel, as they may meet their dream lover. It is a good year to get married for those who have been dating for a certain period of time. Married couples will enjoy happy events in the family cycle, but they have to keep away from temptation. Regarding health, they should avoid going home late in the evening and avoid going to funerals and wakes; otherwise they will easily absorb negative energy. Apart from this, they should pay attention to their personal safety, and to their diet and exercise routine.

Hmm, let's see if these things would all come true for me...

My Song for the Year

It's been a long, long time since I last heard this song. I feel like singing it again. :)

POINT OF VIEW by DB Boulevard

I don't have a cent
Will I pay my rent?
And even my car doesn't work.
Me and my man
He's the one to die for
We have split up

Can't you see
Life's easy
If you consider things
From another point of view
A ah ah ah ah ah
Oh oh yeah
In another way in another point of view
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeeah
Oh oh yeah

I see life and light
All the colours of the world
So beautiful
Won't you come with me
I see birds and trees
All the flowers of the world
So beautiful
Won't you come with me

Can't you see
Life's easy
If you consider things
In another point of view
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Oh oh yeah
In another way in another point of view
