twenty years it's breaking you down
the name is vanessa but everybody calls me van. estranged ex-NJCanoeist of 2004/05 K2-500m. I'm a WSO (FIGHTER) trainee and I'm doing my BA(Hons) English and Politics in the University of York. I like fast cars, literature, art and tulips. I cannot cook. When I was younger I wanted to be an astronaut. I am hopeless at math or anything remotely related to formulae. I detest parsley. I love the colour burgundy. My Macbook is my bestfriend and I've played with Macs since I was 15 so no, I didn't jump on the bandwagon. I have lofty dreams but I'm often afraid to chase them. I don't get angry I get disappointed. I intend to learn Spanish and German. Oh, and I think Liverpool kicksmajorass - I am not a fair-weathered fan. I think ambiguity is beautiful.

Compulsory NYE Retrospection coming up!

Well, lets see, where do I start? 2005 - come to think of it, I don't really think much of 2005 since it was just practically the same ol routine every single day. Wake up, train, lessons, eat, lessons, eat, train, eat, study, sleep. GOSH. Well it was dull, but I suppose the people around me really made my life bearable.

The arts fac people - Dav, Sam, Cher, Yif, Bea, Mel, Amanda, Chew, Vin, Mo, Henry, Shiwei
The girls team - Peishan, Mich, Cindy, Rach, Huiying, LEEPENG my beloved partner, Jasmin, Chit, Xintian, Shumin, Mindy.
AEPians - Jerome, Veli, Julie, Yenlin, Huimin, Char, Amanda Poh, Lingee, Junyi, Yuehan, Ben, Grace, Shuhui, Suzy.
Other people - Lings, Wong, Justin, Thong, Szewei, Junxu and the rest of the guys.

and Weejin.
To these people, I'm really truly eternally grateful for all of you being a part of my life. Now that 2006 signals a brand new start for all of us, I sincerely hope we won't lose touch with each other. Perhaps I'm not particularly close to most of them on my list, but these people have somehow or other made an imprint on my times in NJ.

So in retrospect, I'd say that 2005 was a good year for me in terms of forging bonds and also in terms of personal achievements. I'm glad that I'm coming out of '05 with a sense of satisfaction and no regrets. Okay maybe SOME regrets. I regret placing renewed faith in some people but getting snubbed yet again. Coughtomcough. Regret not spending enough time with some people blahblahblah but oh well it's over. Despite the sheer monotony of the whole year, I'd still maintain that monotony might be good at times - not much flux, but more stability, just my cup of tea.

As for resolutions? Lets see..

Next Year,
Things are gonna change,

Gonna drink less beer (I hate beer)
And start all over again
Gonna pull up my socks
Gonna clean my shower (It's renovating!)
Not gonna live by the clock (Hello, BMT leh, how not to?)
But get up at a decent hour (OH DEAR, BMT)
Gonna read more books
Gonna keep up with the news
Gonna learn how to cook (OMG YEAH BABY)
And spend less money on shoes (I hate shoe shopping)
Pay my bills on time (Don't I always?)
File my mail away, everyday(Don't be crazy)
Only drink the finest wine
And call my Gran every Sunday (She's dead)
Resolutions
Well Baby they come and go
Will I do any of these things?
The answer's probably no
But if there's one thing, I must do,
Despite my greatest fears
I'm gonna say to you
How I've felt all of these years (Already said)
Next Year, Next Year, Next Year

Jamie Cullum - Next Year Baby.

Haha, I decided not to make too many this year, just promise myself to never ever look back and just.. go for it. Heh cheesy yes but.. oh well. HAPPY 2006 PEOPLE!
