1) Was 2007 a good year for you?
Well, it feels gloomy and trapped and Christmas doesn't feel the same. There are many things that haven't been the same. I haven't had much energy or life in me this year. But I loved again, and that's something that has made me happier than I have been in a long, long, long, long time. So I guess, sure, it's been a good year. And I think 2008's gonna bring many more new and exciting experiences for me.

2) What was your favourite moment of the year?
I don't know. I can't pick. But I can list great moments. The fireworks in Disneyland. The audience response at Fly-By-Night, and then winning after that. Various dinners with Kenny and the Angels. MBA. Ethan's house. And just being with John and being in love.

3) What was your least favourite moment of the year?
The whole of SIP. =(

4) Where were you when 2007 began? and
5) Who were you with?
I don't know, probably doing nothing at home. My archives don't say.

6) Where will you be when 2007 ends?
Probably doing nothing at home. Doing assignments. =(

7) Who will you be with when 2007 ends?
I will be alone! But at least I have someone 10,000 miles away.

8) Did you keep your new year's resolution of 2007?
Nope. Let's review them anyway:

Number One. Get out of bed at least 2 hours before class starts. If not, you will most surely be late for school. [Uh oh, nope. I think I did it for like the first 2 days. ]

Number Two. Be early for school. If not, you will have to eat crappy food that day. No western food, no curry cutlet noodle. *weep* You have been eating crapfood this whole week. [ Nope. I tried very hard at the beginning but my penchant for sleep just took over. ]

Number Three. Make every day a productive day. If not, you will surely feel like you've been beaten over the head with a large metal canister - useless and immobile and sometimes yelled at repeatedly. [ Hahahaha no. ]

Number Four. Put everything back where you found it. If not, the floor will never see the light of day. [*looks at floor* Nope. ]

Number Five. Touch every piece of paper only once. File, or throw. Mostly throw. [ I think I have been killing rainforests this year with all the tissues I have been using. ]

Number Six. Make some art. PLEASE. Any sort, including bits of mail. Every day. Do this and you'll have a portfolio as brilliant as the sun. [ Well I guess I did this, just not every day. I am chipping away at a pathetic sort of portfolio; it isn't half as brilliant as the moon. I did send letters to Janice though! ]

Number Six (B). Mail your bits of mail. [ I did! I did! But no Christmas cards this year. ]

Number Seven. Voice exercises. And sometimes any exercise would be good too. Every day. [ Ha ha ha ha. ]

Number Eight. Read the papers. Every day. Use them to do voice exercises. [ :$ ]

Number Nine. A book a day. Read, read, read. Books are not just for decorating your bookshelf. [ Sigh. I think I have read perhaps a maximum of 5 books this year. ]

Number Ten. Assignments are TOP PRIORITY. Do them, like, now. Do them, and you will sometimes enjoy ice-cream delights. And good grades. If not, you will suffer greatly from an insane lack of sleep. [ LA LA LA LA LA. ]
