Happy 2011! Here I come.

Spent a good few hours with Moli sitting at SMU public benches to have a good review of the year 2010, checked our new year resolutions for 2010. Not too bad, at least more than 50% accomplished. Then of course charted out the resolutions for 2011. This year got pretty more structured (influenced by work), but I guess it's clearer and more practical. Instead of writing one whole long list of random things I wish to do/get/have.

Attended Thanksgiving Mass at Divine Mercy Church. First time there. =D
Not very impressed by the architecture and acoustics.
Only impressed by the rather friendly and welcoming community.
It's really quite a waste when churches are not designed properly.
just googled, architect is Philip Lee from Strategic Design International.
Found out that the original design had more arches and supposed to look more church-like.
I guess eventually because of budget or whatever, became boxes and rectangles in the end.

Well anyway, ended the night at Summer Breeze Cafe at Pasir Ris Beach.
Happening countdown and clubbing music played all night long.
Couldn't tahan the "noise". Went to sit at the breakwaters and waited for 12MN.
A special and first ever countdown at a beach.

Next year, I have decided.
Have a nice cooked meal at home.
Have a drink. Watch TV countdown show.
Stock up on poppers and sparklers.
Invite some close friends over.
And that's it.
No need to beat the traffic jams, jostling crowd, loud music, hang-over the next morning or what-nots.

God, thank you for everything in 2010.
For good times and in bad times, you were there for me.
For 2011, Holy Spirit take over. Let your will be done.

picked up a nice quote from Corrinne May's song a few days back...
never really hear & catch this part after listening to her songs so many times.
"Just stay on track,
'cause every cross can be a blessing

for the gifts that you've been given
close your eyes and listen
to who you're meant to be."
