The last few days have flown - I had time off from the 20th of Dec and it has gone by in a blur. Now there is 45 mins to the New Year and then - and then, 11 weeks till the birth of our baby! OMG - so terrified and excited all at once.
Here’s to a great New Year Su Ann. May all your hopes and dreams come true. Here’s to lots of happiness, love and laughter. Keep your chin up - things always work out someway. :)

Your meme inspired a few laughs, esp when I read your replies juxtaposed with Martians. ‘Fuck that’ - LOL!
And I loved Never Let Me Go too!
24. nyrac | January 1st, 2008 at 10:20 pm
happy 2008 sweet ^^ and i’ve got to say, house > mcdreamy, =D

25. Jayne | January 2nd, 2008 at 12:21 am
Happy New Year, pinkpau! To another year of awesome blogging from you, heh!
“Being a perfectionist is inefficient” - I agree with you whole-heartedly =) When I write essays, I take FOREVER, cause I have to read, and reread my sentences and paragraphs over and over again until they’re perfect, then only will I move on. Then, after writing another paragraph, I’ll reread from the start of the essay to whatever point I’m on, and keep doing this until I DIE. /ahem. Do you have that problem too?
Thanks for a little procrastination…I’m heading back to my uni apps now :(
26. pinkshirtz | January 2nd, 2008 at 10:29 am

35. Sammy | January 3rd, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Hey, Su Ann! :) I think it’s so cute that you & Martian both did the meme together. I guess that’s one of the ways you can tell that a guy really cares - if he’s willing to attempt new things for you. I’m too lazy to do memes myself; prefer pictures to base my reflections upon. If you have time, check out my blog~ :D I’ve got that picture taken with you at Starbucks posted up too.
