lesson #272: my new year resolutions

HA! Just joking. I don't think I will make any new year resolutions. I just know I'm gonna break every single one of them due to laziness. If there's one thing I want to improve most on, and it is within my capabilities to do so, that is my body. I've got to get it back in shape! Rarrr. But that shan't be a new year resolution. That shall be a timeless vow I make to myself. For good bodies aren't a state, they're a process (haha, quoting AIS - nerd-dom alert!). This timeless vow is effective as of this very moment, and the first step I'm gonna take will be to play tennis with Uncle G who has only ever played tennis once.

HA! Finally a sport that I shall surpass him in. He'd only played once before while I... Well. Ahem. Had taken tennis lessons like any other posh Indo kids back home. Like any other posh, male Indo kids back home. I was the only girl who'd taken the lessons and thus I HATED every moment of tennis. The boys will just mock me, mock my name, mock my ignorance of console games, and make me feel like being a girl is so uncool. All in good sport, I know, but the icky feeling is there anyways. Oh dear somebody slap me out of this childhood trauma! Aaack!

Well, spent yesterday night at a dinner party with G's friends. It was OK. I have been to far more awkward engagements... Like the dentist's... HAHA. Seriously though, it was all right even though I wasn't completely myself. Wasn't completely as bubbly and blunt as I could be because these are not my peeps. Have to be careful and tread around them so as not to leave a bad impression. Imagine you're walking on an uneven road after the rain and there are like puddles of rain water around and you've got to avoid them. It'd definitely be hard for you to walk normally while trying to avoid splashing yourself.

Luckily enough, G behaved like the perfect gentleman. Not leaving my side and deserting me to fend for myself. He was also pretty subdued, which put less pressure on me to keep up with his usual chattiness.

But of course, we had a quarrel before the party.

Anybody knows if shops in JB will be closed on the 31st? Planning to drive over there and walk around for a bit.
