2013

Another new year, another new me.

2010 was adventurous.  Many friends and outings
2011 was exciting.  Lots of new experiences.
2012 was tumultuous.  Lots of changes.
2013 is a mixed bag.  Some good, some bad.

But it's still very early and there may be many positive things around the bend.  I have met quite a few new faces since New Year's Eve, though not all have stuck around or worth getting to know further.  The old faces have been coming around again which is a pleasure.  There are also some new activities in the works and statuses to share as well.

Last quarter, S and her friends started a weekly Walking Club at one of the local parks.  I attended a couple and so far it has been fun and nice to exercise again, even when the nights are cold.  There are plenty of other people who convene at the park to walk, jog, or run, so it doesn't feel deserted, although it wouldn't hurt for the city to turn on all the lights either.

S and I were also talking about starting up the old Supper Club again.  Probably once a quarter like the college days.  We already began collecting and testing out some interesting recipes.  S takes the cake on this aspect as I am merely a sous chef at most.  Between the handful of us, we have a number of cook books to flip through and be inspired.  We also pooled our resources together and will likely take turns hosting events.

As far as the good news goes, C and her beau are getting hitched soon.  They already have the outfits picked out and are finalizing the venue.  I hope they choose a classy place with a decent size dance floor.  It is very exciting to be included in parts of the planning and celebration.

I am definitely looking forward to see what the Water Snake brings.  Hope it will take us for a joyous ride from under the grips of the Dragon to an exotic island full of pleasant surprises.  Will check back next year.

Happy New Year!

新年快樂!
