Happy 2008

A Very Good Year

Happy New Year! Last night was something different for this three year couple -- we did not go anywhere to party or to a ridiculously crowded town centre. Instead, we stayed home and had our own countdown marked by the tinkle of our wine glasses against each other, watched fireworks from our 15 storey bedroom window and listened to old jazz pieces. Staying at home is definitely better for this when-people-become-like-ants fearing couple. Perhaps next year, you can expect a new year's party with poppers and champers and all.

My only resolution for 2008 is for it to top last year. At a glance, resolutions fulfilled from recent past was only getting a brand new job and promises like loosing weight, more confidence, saving money etc etc are renewed year after year without much success!

*Gallant and I each shared why it was a very good year. I thought I'd give another version too here:

• New job that I throughly enjoy (no more IQPC!)
• Moved in with the boyfriend
• We met each other's families and relatives
  
• Went to Europe -- London, Paris, Brussels, Barcelona, Nice, Monte Carlo, Venice and Rome (flickr set finally ready for viewing)
  
• Went to Vietnam

I also bought a pretty trench coat from DKNY. I would be more excited if not for my conscience nagging at the price tag.

In the long term, I have:

• Definite career plans and direction
• Want to travel and work in places around the world
• Doing my masters
  

And to start off my new year, here are the photos long promised from the May 2007 trip to Europe. Perhaps next year, I'll post the Vietnam ones!!
