☂ or ☀

It is now 10:16PM and I finally have some quiet time. I have started journaling and scheduling dates in my 2013 planner, it feels more routine than surreal that it is once again a new year. I almost slept through the countdown last night till Dad went on his rounds around the house yelling "the fireworks are starting soon!!" So I slugged myself out of bed and managed to get out to the TV just before the sky crackled in an earsplitting series of gold and red sparks.

 

Quite the party pooper I am, but counting down has lost much of it's novelty having gone through 18 new years. Maybe it was just the lack of company for all of our family was spending new years out of Singapore except us.

 

I trust this year the only thing I can keep on my resolution list is to keep my head down and run through the crossfire till I reach the safety zone of a well-deserved 8 month break from school. It's only January but I already want November to come. I have only one word to live by for the rest of the year: positivity.

 

Below are some photos from last week when I met Tessa and Qianying for a little while before watching The Hobbit with Mum. 3 favourite people all in a day.
