Happy 2010!

Hi Friends! Happy new year to you! Oh my, did another year just ended? Wow... and before you know it, it'll be the end of 2010!

So what am I expecting in 2010? A lot of great and exciting things, of course. So let me just list down TEN... (and this is by no means a new year resolution, cos we all know they don't really work!)

1. Start my MBA program... I am trusting God for this!
2. Run two half marathons... one in Champaign, Illinois (May) and the other most probably in Kansas City, MO (Oct), or Des Moines, Iowa (also Oct)
3. Pay off my PTPTN study loan... AT LONG LAST!
4. Rent out my house in Malaysia. Anyone reading this interested?
5. Get my Social Security Card
6. Get my U.S. Driver's License
7. Sleep under the stars a.k.a. camping (Ron my man, I'm counting on you for this!)
8. Watch a meteor shower (check out this 2010 schedule)
9. Hold a praying mantis
10. Visit Dr Eric Lien in Philadelphia, PA (May)

Ok, I know that some of you, well, in fact, most of you will be wondering... what about a baby??? Nah... not so soon. No baby at least for the next 4-5 years. I really wonder why people commonly have the notion that a couple should be having a baby immediately after getting married. I mean, at best, that's the most ridiculous idea, because it's not as simple as having sex and then 38 weeks or so later, bring a living being into the world. There's too many things to consider... financially, mentally, what about current situation... who's to take care of the baby, do we have the time, do we have the commitment? Given her current job circumstances, and my coming involvements, nah... we're not ready. Oh boy, how did I get into all this now? LOL :)

Anyways, have a nice new year. And I truly appreciate those of you who are still around reading my blog. I know that some of you go waaaaaaaaaay back! Thanks for reading this and I appreciate this friendship of ours :)

7 LOVES

Hi Friends! The weekends is coming so let me be the first to wish you happy weekends!

There had been many many many things happening to me over here in Columbia, MO, and I don't think I will be sharing all of that here. So to save all of you readers the trouble, I had decided to choose 3 most important updates...

1. Found and attending a great church - Faith Church St. Louis. It's about 2 hours' drive away from my place, but I really don't mind driving all the way (4 hours to and fro), because the message is Word-centered and very good. The pastor, Pastor David Crank is really cool and rocks, and the people there are friendly too.

2. Succeeded in getting that Toshiba laptop everyone was queueing for on Black Friday! $399 only for Intel® Core™2 Duo processor T6500 (2.1GHz); 4GB DDR3 memory expandable to 8GB; Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD; 6-cell lithium-ion battery (about 3.5... hours); DL DVD±RW/CD-RW drive; 16" TFT-LCD widescreen with TruBrite technology (1366 x 768); 320GB SATA (5400 rpm) hard drive; built-in webcam; and the latest OS i.e. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Thank You Jesus!


3. My 3rd half marathon (1st ever winter race) is coming up!!! It's on the 3rd day of Christmas, which is about 3 weeks from today. Wow 3 more weeks left to train! I hope I'm ready by then, and I hope to run below 2.5 hours. Or else I'll be getting...

Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!

Pray for me and cheer for me ok, even though you are not there :)

Actually I intended to do the tag by my friend Donna, hence the title of this post, but I guess I'll do it next post, and let this be just the prologue to it :)

Till then, take care and thanks for reading this! God bless ya!
