i’m sure i have been, but didnt know it. they probably pretended they didnt find out either.. :)

Funniest moment of 2006? :
that Hanoi moment when i opened the hotel door with nothing but a small tshirt on, to set the room service tray outside the door. and of course, the guy in the opposite room just HAS TO come out at that exact moment, even though it’s like 3 in the frickin’ morning. oh, the look on his face! he was so shocked he didnt even move. all i could do was laugh, remembering a bit too late that my cooch and butt were exposed. Martian was not happy :P

Most embarrassing moment of 2006? :
eh i cant think of any. either i have selective memory loss or i am just too muka tembok to feel embarassed. friends who have witnessed any of my embarassing moments this year, please do *not* feel free to leave them in the comments box. selective memory loss exists for a reason.

my answer last year says that three or four gourmet coffees daily was what broke my piggy bank. thankfully this year, i only need three or four gourmet coffees whenever the semester exams rolls around, which is only once every few months or so. God bless college. okay wait i’m not answering the question. i guess this year i spent most of my money on taxi fare as usual, and shoes. not my fault, because my mother keeps borrowing my shoes and ruining them. so this only means that i need more new shoes, right??? you think shoes cheap ah!

What song will always remind you of 2006? :
Dani California by RHCP and Fergilicious by Fergie, only because they are so overplayed that they ring in my ears even when i’m brushing my teeth. actually no lah, the real song of 2006 for me is The Fray - Look After You.

How do you plan to usher in the new year?
i’ve got dinner with Martian in a bit, then we’ll take it from there

Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006 :
sometimes it’s better to be quiet, even if you have something to say. pride should not stand in the way of symbiosis. we should be reckless if fun is to be had. if you must trust with an open heart, dont hate yourself when things fuck up. always make time for yourself. and eat more chocolate.

happy new year, everybody :) here’s to an amazing 2007.
