..:: 743. Ushering 2011 ::..

after watching my travel bud's homemade video of her travels this year, i was so tempted to do one but i dont think i have the patience and determination to filter the pictures, let alone finish the video. for someone who edits her photos before loading up on facebook, you can tell i am not the kind of video person.

xmas have been a blast! i decided to move my lazy bum and show up at the gathering/party. at the same time, i also wanted to practise shooting with my new camera, sony alpha 33. it takes amazing photos (without the need to edit). i always enjoy gift exchange when the other party takes effort to buy it. it is quite amazing that i was "aiming" for the loccitane gift but ended up happier when i got a super shockproof mug that had a 5 yr warranty. sometimes in life the things that you want may not be the best for you. lol. john, dont think so much, its just a gift exchange.

xmas party at the fullerton hotel was even more amazing. a presidential suite was booked that could accomodate 300 people. atas life to the max. that's not all. DJs were hired and there were two different themes, hip hop and trance rooms. hot hunks and babes who had just enough cloth to cover their vitals were serving the guests. unlimited booze was like heaven but heaven was not so kind cos it rained intermittently and it kinda spoilt the mood a little. worse thing was the management had received complains (as expected) for the loud music and noise. first time i saw security standing outside the suite. overall, it was great, catching up with friends, people-watching and awing at people who had great style.

checklists are my favourite things in life or rather my personality, i figured i should do up a list to see what i want to achieve in 2011.

- travel to eastern europe and another new destination
- go somewhere with my travel bud
- save 20% of my salary
- complete my ACTA certification
- go for photography course
- buy a zoom lens up to 105mm
- explore other volunteering opportunities outside of red cross
