[2012]

So. It's 2012 already. Supposedly the year where end of days happens. Sure feels like that, here in Kuching, what with the really dreary weather and the flooding.

That aside though, I've been feeling pretty blessed, but I'll not bore you with here disgustingly sappy gushing over the amazing people I've met in 2011, and the old friends I've had the chance to reconnect with.

I know I've said before, I don't really do new year resolutions. And I won't, meaning I won't list down a heap of shit I kind of want to do that I'll promptly forget by next month. The only thing I really want to achieve this year, apocalypse or whatever, is this:

I just want to be a better person this year. 

And that means to empathise more, love more, care more, do more little kindnesses, and try harder not to do shit to others. No back-stabbing, no gossip, less negative thoughts about others... All those sneaky shit we sometimes seem to unthinkingly do sometimes. There has to be more of a conscious effort to be a nicer individual overall, even if nobody but me will notice it.

I reckon it'd be hard enough to stay on track and stick with this "be a better person" thingy, so all those healthy lifestyle, weight-loss resolutions of the past?

All very commendable, but let's be a bit more realistic this year, won't we? =)

Oh yeah, to make this post a less boring one, let me entertain you with this picture of my eye with a very colourful example of five-day-old bruising:

I got this injury on the last day of the year - specifically around 2am on the 31st of December, 2011. Felt like taking a shower, and being the klutz I am, managed to yank the shower-head so hard out of its holder, I pretty much sucker-punched myself in the brow-bone with it.

Attended the New Year's Eve party, hours later, with a fresh injury on my face and a swollen eye-lid - it just figures that I'd end (and begin) the year with a dramatic wound on such an obvious place.

My life is such a comic tragedy even when I try my best to remain drama-free LOL. I guess at least I'm never short of self-deprecating humour when I need a good laugh! =)
