The First Times in 2012

on
As 2012 is drawing to an end, here, I count my year long blessings. I do have a long list to be grateful about. In the words of the manifesto...
"This is your life.
Do what you love and do it often."
via "The Holstee Manifesto"

I reckon, I won't know what I love unless I start trying to experience it. I figured I love running and I will keep on running.

Life & Friends

First time dressing up as a school girl. LOL.
First time hanging out with my girlfriends for my birthday. Complete with a first theatrical experience at the PenangPAC.
First time to volunteer to hang lanterns during mid-autumn festival. It was random.
  1. A first brand new home of mine
  2. A first time with hair so long. Mourning over my aunt's death. She was a hairdresser and I made it a point not to cut my hair.
    3. 2011 and 2012. Oh so long.
  3. A first time being 52kg.
  4. A first time having an alcohol picnic by the sea.
  5. A first time watching a movie, Ted, on an iPad with an external speaker complete with drinks and food under the stars by the beach.
  6. A first time winning a 40 inch LCD TV.
  7. A first time meeting bestie's wife.
    8. How great to meet again.
  8. First time staying in a hotel with my friends.
    9. At Hard Rock with my brothers. It's a shame to be 28 and it's my first holiday with my friends but better late than never.

Goals of 2012

  1. Do a first full marathon - check
  2. Do 5 romantic dates - failed. Managed 2 romantic ones though. My conclusion is, it's easier to run than to do 5 romantic dates.
That one rare day, I could dress up, make up and looked forward to dating someone. One heck of a romantic date.
