Well at least it's still January, still not too late to set some resolutions for the 11 months ahead...
1. Get healthy
Main goal this year. Will try to overcome the pain & discomfort, hopefully I will be able to seek treatment that helps rid the suffering. I have had enough of it.
2. Enjoy my studies
Will try to make the most of my time remaining at Monash. 3 sems to go. Will try to soak in as much as I can, and not to be stressed at late nights rushing for reports and assignments, which I'm sure will happen >.<
3. Travel more, see more!
Despite the decline in health, will try to get well a.s.a.p.
Have not been out of the country (besides S'pore) since 2005, so I'm lucky to have trips scheduled for Brisbane and Bangkok this year. Hopefully even more destinations to come! I love goin on holiday :)
4. Exercise regularly
Now that my sis has gone overseas to study, I no longer have a 'sports kaki' to play tennis with. But in an effort to maintain what's left of my fitness, I will try to have a workout at least.... erm say once a week? I will try to keep the fading passion for tennis alive. Somehow.
Also my resolutions are subject to change, becoz ppl change! Also if I come out with new goals in the near future, I can add them in! :)
Won't be blogging as much this year, so here's to a great Chinese New Year guys!! The year of the rabbit has caused those furry little creatures to feature in ads everywhere! I particularly like the bright coloured hyper looking rabbits from Carrefour! :)
till my next post,
cheers.

Declining Health
The title says it all. Something is wrong with me, but I'm not sure what's the root of it.
The problems seem to be stomach/digestive system related, but it's been so many years and I still don't know if these problems are an effect of an underlying problem or if it is the source of it....
I have had to deal with health issues for as long as I can remember. But lately it seems to be getting worse. Last year I thought it was bad enough with all the bloating, but now in 2011 I think my stomach is killing me, little by little.
I have had trouble just sitting in class due to nausea. It doesn't happen all the time, and when it comes, it comes without warning. I used to have better prediction of it, but nowadays it seems like the sick feeling comes more frequently beyond my control. And then there's the hyper-acidity, where my stomach is constantly releasing acid at all the wrong times.... so when you don't find food quickly, the prolong effect is again... nausea and just an uneasiness that prevents me from living a normal life.
What scares me the most is that my weight has dropped a little again... a downward trend for the past few years... as if I weren't thin enough. It's becoz I can't eat much. I feel sick if I don't eat, but I also feel sick after I eat. So what am I supposed to do? In general I feel weaker you know, like these days I tend to get motion sickness so I worry whenever we go for long distance traveling. I never had this problem before. Last year, I just felt tired all the time, the dark eye circles on my face says it all.... no matter how much I sleep I will still feel drained.
I don't know what to do anymore, aside from praying. I have seen doctors, specialists, and even Chinese medicine practitioners. Nothing seems to offer a solution. No one really knows what's my problem.
I seriously hope I make it through 2011.

it's 2011
Holy cow the last week of 2010 flew by just like that. And my blog header is sooo 2010, I need to change it haha!
Christmas wasn't really celebrated, and the annual gift exchange was postponed to last night, on New Year's Day instead. The year before I welcomed 2010 with pbsm friends on a beach in P.D., this year I welcomed 2011 with the same ppl but at my home instead! Glad I managed to get them excited about 'Cluedo', which was what we were busy doing when the clock struck twelve. I wonder where or what we will be doing on 31-12-2011? ;)
Oh I forgot to mention that we also went to Broga hill on new year's eve. Pics in fb. Woke up super early at 3.15am, which explains why I was exhausted by the time 2011 came. Spent most of yesterday charging my batteries, am good to go now :)
Unfortunately assignments and a presentation are scheduled in January, and the exam happens to be during CNY. Ridiculous right!
I'm looking at my 2010 resolutions, you can see them here. Interesting becoz I wasn't able to fulfill most of them. Health seemed to decline, my weight decreased a little instead of going up >.<. The first quarter of 2010 I was able to steer away from tennis, but now I'm actually quite enjoying it. I think I'm playing the best I have ever played.. period. It happened becoz I put less pressure on myself. So I don't see a need to stop now.
I didn't do anything creative LOL, my Yhart project came to a halt, I would say it's history now. At least I did kind of fulfill item 5 and 6 hahaha.
Resolutions don't really get achieved, but I will still make a 2011 list for tradition sake. Also it's nice to have some goals, or at least a direction to look at. Will start thinking about it now. :)
Ohhh last but not least, have an awesome 2011 everyone! Hope whatever dreams you have come true this year ;)
