Meme: 21 Things

I just realised I've been tagged by my sister a while back and it took me- oh Miss-I've-no-clue-what's-happening- a while to figure out I'm supposed to write 21 things about myself that has happened since 1st Jan 2006 to date. So here it is. But on a seperate note, I don't get what meme means so if anyone actually knows what it means, let me know. I like to learn something new everyday. Makes for an exciting life.

So, here goes...


1. Much as I abhor romance novels and sappy chick flicks, I think I'm still a romantic at heart that wishes for prince charming on a pretty black horse to whisk me away into the sunset. Or maybe its just the horses, I'm not sure.

2. I've caught up with more friends in the last two months than I ever have in the last three years.

3. I need to take a break that is not induced by illness. The only real rest I've gotten all this time is when I fell ill two weeks back and was forced to rest and sleep.

4. I've not gone to the gym in 2 months considering I used to gym twice weekly before the closure of my oh-let-me-spoil-you gym. They had raindrop showers, fluffy towels and a fully carpeted place. Maybe that's why they went broke.

5. I've not been to the beach, pool or any other water body.

6. I've hung out with my JC classmates (read: girls, the guys were a tad weird) more often than I've ever had in the last 5 years since we left school. Its nice to rediscover how amazing they are.

7. I've spent way too many, though highly enjoyable, Harry Potter nights than most sane people. But I'm a fan, what can I say.

8. I've never laughed so much and cried so much in a single span of time as the last 6 months. Think it accounts for my slightly bipolar-ness.

9. I think I've been the most at peace with my work/career ever.

10. I actually like ALL my colleagues, for once. Usually, there's one or two that rub me the wrong way.

11. My heart ached and ceclebrated more times this past 6 months than it ever had. Over many things.

12. I learnt that friendship has many facets to it. Some good, others ugly but all real.

13. I learnt that the soul of a man is manifested in the actions that he does. Its probably the only true gauge of a person. Clay Aiken calls it the measure of a man.

14. I've discovered I still like TV dramas that are not necessarily criminal/forensic in nature, think: Grey's anatomy, Commander in chief and Lost.

15. I've stayed up till 6am consistently watching these said TV dramas. I've never done that in my life.

16. My shoulders are at their most tired cos I've had a lot of pressure put on them. I don't mind weights, but this is getting ridiculous.

17. I planned my wedding in 5 days. Most people find that rather amazing.

18. I've been hounded and scolded by my wedding designer for being too bo-chup. She says a bride-to-be ought to get significantly more excited about everything. Case in point: I'm trying to downsize my already slim fit gown.

19. I've been scolded for being too thin by more people and more often than ever before.

20. I packed up and shipped out my art and craft stuff. Its something I'd probably lay off for a while more.

21. I've never loved and appreciated my family more. Love you guys.


Ok, I tag: Mich, May, Joan, Adele, JW.
