My New Year’s Resolution

I didn’t have this habit of making new year resolutions but I suppose there’s always a first time.

Lets see…

1) Learn something new
Was thinking of learning flash all over again. *this is a big hint to somebody* But there’s the problem of getting the latest Macromedia software. (Its quite an investment for leisure purposes) And there’s no current project for me to use as a learning case. Aww

2) Learn a new language
Technically not really new. But I’ve been meaning to take up Japanese again. Yes, probably I might be able to source for a language school. Or perhaps... self study! That’s more challenging. (and more prone to failure)

3) Inject some lady-ness into myself
I get constant reminders to be more lady-like. That I’m too chor lor.

“Wear more skirts”
“Can you put on make-up more often?”
“eh.. dun jump about. Walk properly”
“aiyo.. kickboxing? Can learn something more demure?”
“How come you don’t paint your nails”

OMG… How come being a girl is so t.r.o.u.b.l.e.s.o.m.e. I thought of starting with something simple.

Nails.

Now what could be more simple then that?
But I am so wrong.
I checked out a list of things you need for a manicure online.
WTH.

• Nail Polish Remover or Nail Polish Remover Wipes
• Cotton Pads (not cotton balls . . . those are too linty)
• Nail File
• Extra Fine Emery Board or Professional Manicurist Emery Board
• Bowl of Warm Water
• Scented Oil or Salt
• Table Lamp
• Cuticle Oil
• Orangewood Stick (a soft wooden stick)
• Nail Scissors
• Hair Dryer
• White Block Buffer
• Base Coat Polish or Ridge Filler Polish
• Color Polish
• Nail Polish Solvent or Nail Polish Thinner
• Top Coat or Sealant
  

I only got as far as cutting my nails very short. Period. I don’t even wanna think of what does it involve trying to learn makeup.

*Gulp*

I think its better not to have new year resolutions.

Lolz. Perhaps just live a day at a time. Yep.

Follow ur instinct.
Live ur dreams.
Have your mochi ice-cream.
