I&#8217;m desperately in need of some changes.<\/p>\n<p>I need to shake off unnecessary\/unhealthy relationship habits; I need to go out and enjoy myself more with the company that I enjoy; I need to open up to new experiences.<\/p>\n<p>My first step?  I&#8217;ve booked myself a tix to watch Black Swan tomorrow, on the first day of LNY, alone.  Watching a movie alone is nothing new, but Black Swan is not the type of movie I would willingly go watch in the past.  It would be the type of movie that I would be interested in the storyline, but not to watch it as a movie.  For some reason, I always get sucked in too deep (emotionally) when it comes to live action movies&#8230; hence, for such storylines, I usually much prefer to read a novel than to watch a movie.<\/p>\n<p>But like I said, I need to open up my mind more and experience new stuff.  So yeah, I&#8217;ll be watching Black Swan.  Let&#8217;s hope I won&#8217;t regret my decision.  XD<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d also made a rather large-impact decision before I actually went for the Finland trip.  Those who are supposed to know about it have already knew, plus a few others whom I&#8217;ve told recently, so I don&#8217;t wish to divulge it here.  I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s the right decision, but let&#8217;s hope it&#8217;s at least a wise one.  I think&#8230; it&#8217;s kinda necessary for now.  For me, at least.  I&#8217;m still having some regrets, most of them coming from the fact that&#8230; old habits die hard.<\/p>\n<p>I guess I should just give myself more time to adjust and adapt to the current situation (yeah, even though I&#8217;m the one who caused the situation to be like this now).  And I guess I&#8217;m just really tired.  And I still am.  Don&#8217;t know how long it&#8217;ll take for me to recover, recharge, re-energise&#8230; I know a lot of you are helping, and I really thank you guys and gals for being there for me.  A big hug to all of you.  ^^<\/p>\n<p>And as for <em>you <\/em>(you know who you are), thank <em>you <\/em>for going along with this, even though I know it&#8217;s very difficult for you.  Just remember that there is always a silver lining behind every cloud.  :)  For every thing that has happened, there&#8217;s bound to be a reason for it. \u00a0Taking a step back to re-evaluate your direction in life is pretty much necessary at this point in time. \u00a0The same goes for me.<\/p>\n<p>Well this is the last post by me in the Year of Tiger. \u00a0Good bye, Kitty-Cat &#8211; see you in 12 years time.<\/p>\n<p>And hello, Rabbit! :D<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Year of Rabbit will be here in about 15 minutes time.
