Resolution for 2013 and look back into 2012

It's going to be 2013 just in a few hours. 2012 flew past as quickly as it can be. this year is probably the year which passed by the fastest by far. Refering to this post, http://etylin.blogspot.sg/2011/12/brumboomdoomdoodoodododo.html here, Ive penned down my new year resolution which unfortunately some are not fulfilled. and here they are...

My year end resolution. (gonna carry forward to the next year) 
1. still gonna get my fricking grade 3-5 for guitar (Not happening. Sorta gave up on getting grades already :P opps)
2. manage time well and start baking as and when or else the ingrdients' will be expired :((baked a few times on the last month of 2012 hehe and improved in managing my time)
3. Learn at least 2 languages 
(learnt Korean though at least its one language fulfilled! and yes, seems like my Korean is improving. Probably need more revising and get an intermediate book from Popular or Libraries! Shall start on a new language after sorta mastered Korean. well... at least similar to my England level)
4. be a better daughter, a better friend 
(Guess this year has been up and down on the Social aspect... it seems to my friends that i didnt really care during the first half of the year and so after which i began to reach out to them gradually. Family wise... also a roller coaster ride, the incident that happened must be able to bond us even stronger.)
5. WORK! go for internship. and SAVE LUI (vacation plans) 
(ahah similar resolution during 2011. and similarly, i worked as a tutor. no internship. no one wants me. and yes, vacation plans next year. Korea and probably TW after ive graduated)
6. no more nonsense from me, and start chionging for exams! count down 3mths to prelim 
(lol definitely over. Just realised that Im always mugging for exams. in the exact month a year ago and now, Im already mugging diligently towards prelims and exams.)
7. abide by the diet rules
(trying VERY hard.)
8. learn new skills; first aid, computer, etc and whatever
(NEH)

And so... that was my 2012 resolution.

There are also a list of stuff that Ive accomplished in 2012!

1. CHINGAY! 4th Feb

Achieve personal victory as a chingay trainer and also as a team. I remembered how the dance steps kept changing even until a day or was it a week before the actual. and... we were all dancing on the water. Dancing which includes us stomping the water, soaked inside the water YES LIE IN THE WATER, and scooping the water with the capes given. Ours is the finale item and also the wet-test group. lol

2. TG 6! March

A youth leader training by my own religion which trains us to be good and humanistic leader. More importantly to strengthen our own faith to lead others too.

3. EXAMS! May

In midst of all these events, Im also studying very very hard for exams! and... gotten myself 2 As and 1 B and 1 B-! i.e. lowest mod scored: 2nd lower for that B-

4. SD JUNE PROJECT! 2nd Week of June

A show based on Ikeda Sensei's proposal to the United Nation. Originally started with an idea to be a small scale show into a BIG SCALE SHOW (4 Dimensional too!) which consists of more than a 100 casts excluding backstage helpers, 10 scriptwriters, 3 directors, sound, LX, makeup, wardrobe, exhibition guides cos this project is in 2 parts; show and exhibition, souvenirs etc etc etc

Victory achieved as an Assistant Director-and-Assistant Stage Manager, and as a whole June Project participant. Definitely something new and surely have learnt a lot in acting, planning, coordinating, initiating and... VISUALISING wise (not just narrowly in Drama production but also as a human)

During practices...

After show...

5. YWD FORMATION DAY! August 

6. SSA FAMILY DAY! AUGUST

Worked as a Seeds of Hope Exhibition guide... but since I was late, I became a road guide instead ahhahaha

7. 21ST BIRTHDAY! August

brumboomdoomdoodoodododo

hellyeah, I have! how awesome is that :D

And, in a blink of eyes, 2011 gonna be over soon... That means, the most dreaded big big examinations' round the corner. But before that, many jolly events gonna unleash itself infront of us or me at least. Christmas! New year! Chinese new year! friends' 21st! and maybe valentines day? lol Ya' know, I cant wait to get new pieces of clothes :P despite the overflowing wardrobe and me having to 'borrow' my mum's closet to hold my stuff. hiakhiak she's ranting, everyday she steps into her room and spot those clothes hanging around and inside her closet. HAHHAHA told ya, i need a closet revamp. BIGGER CLOSET. but somehow, I just dont wear prettily. lol someone please empathise with me can? Perhaps, Im just lazy to wear pretty clothes out. Cos' with pretty outfit, my actions have to be pretty also. Hence, no big movements from me, no HAHAHA from me, no lame and random stuff from me. So as to say, ONLY POISELOOK is allowed. so difficult to maintain la!~~~ Its only appropriate of elaine to wear only shorts/jeans and tshirts. simple like that. and a backpack. :)

My year end resolution. (gonna carry forward to the next year)
1. still gonna get my fricking grade 3-5 for guitar
2. manage time well and start baking as and when or else the ingrdients' will be expired :( (vacation plans)
3. Learn at least 2 languages
4. be a better daughter, a better friend
5. WORK! go for internship. and SAVE LUI (vacation plans)
6. no more nonsense from me, and start chionging for exams! count down 3mths to prelim
7. abide by the diet rules
8. learn new skills; first aid, computer, etc and whatever 

So yup! Thats bout it! :) go elaine go!

3. Register driving lessons!

4. True yoga when school starts!

halting on my mission to bake fondant cake. hahahhaha too unhealthy and im starting to feel lazy. :P opps!

Happy E.T.

I show you how fickleminded I am. Yesterday, I was all so determined to get myself prep up for harsh running routine, which I said to start today with a 1km track. Today, I felt sian and rot at home instead. Someone please knock some sense into me. Sometimes, I got so sian of my fickle-mindedness.

On a more lighthearted note, I've bought 2 coupons from Groupon.sg thats a really cool website. There are deals website like deal.com, tip-it.com.sg do visit if youre free. Great deals, i'll say. Even better than Singapore's GSS in shopping malls. And so yea, I bought 2 coupons for singing class and 2 other coupons for slimming treatment! :D Cant wait for those! and oh ya! the currently put-on-hold 4 yoga lessons with liyu and yokefong.

My right hand nails are growing really REALLY long already. Despite the fact that I cut them like a few weeks ago? They are growing way too fast. well, as compared to my left hand nails. They are short like #^$@&%#! Please do not think me as a weirdo who keeps nails long on right hand and short on the other. Im a guitarist. Thankyou. I play classical guitar, involves plucking using nails NOT PICK.

Anyway, if you are finding or you are helping your somebody to find a guitar teacher for beginners, can mail me at etylin@yahoo.com in Singapore, thanks. you dont expect me to pay a few hundreds of air ticket just to go overseas to teach a few hours then fly back to SG right? hahhahha Just to let you know, Ive been teaching in schools as assistant CCA instructor.

Blogshopped just now. Surfing all the sales available. Turn out to be of no avail. Seriously, clothes on sales are either still quite pricey or really cheap but super ugly. Eyed on an apparel sold on a flea blog selling at 12SGD new. and it costs 25SGD on the actualy blogshop. OMG. 50%discount!

Aside this, Ive really got to set my holidays to clear list right!

1. 3 lessons in True Yoga to be done by mid July, after 20th June.

2. 1 Vocals lesson in Ocean Butterflies to be done during July when my sister's having hols!

3. 4 lessons in Yaatra Movement (Yoga) to be done by mid July, after 20 June.
