If I want to be objective, I’ll say that 2010 has been a year of changes and emotions.

If I want to be crude, I’ll say that 2010 has been a total mindfuck bitchass of a year.

A run down through my year:

1. My limited edition oakley frogskin flew out the car window in Malaysia. FP got me another pair in Feb, but it’s just not the same. You know?

2. I taught myself how to sew. I sewed that pink teddy from scratch, imperfect as it may seem. It’s still a masterpiece to me.

3. I quit coffee for good. Didn’t think it was possible, but I did it. It still amazes me how I can get thru a sleepy day without coffee. I’m awesome.

4. Started the year in Malaysia: Malacca, KL, Batu Pahat. This photo was taken in Malacca.

5. We finally tried the level 30 spicy wings!

6. We got ourselves a Nintendo Wii, as if the PS3 wasn’t enough.

7. FP had an accident that caused him to be homebound for 5 months. We spent a good half of the year indoors and having indoor picnics all the time.

8. FP dabbled in food photography, during our indoor pinics. Awesome shots of awesome food. That must be where this excess weight is coming from

9. WORLD CUP. I had a fantastic June thanks to endless football matches. Lack of sleep was a given of course, but it was so worth it Even though my heart was with Germany through and through, my favourite moment was still the day New Zealand trashed Italy. It was epic.

10. Sour Sally finally opens in Singapore. This made my entire week, the week i discovered about it. Since then, I’ve been downing the froyo with plenty of yummy mochi. I wonder where I can get the mochi, it’s absolutely yummy.

11. Ariel Peterporn saga. This came right in the middle of the world cup, so as you can tell – I had a very interesting June. Can never get the image of Ariel’s big and nice.. watches and his wonderful butt. Yes, I saw both videos. Was awaiting the third one but then.. he just had to turn himself in, sigh sigh. I really hope he won’t be put away for 12 years. I haven’t even watched him live, for god’s sake.

12. Singapore got flooded. Even my neighbourhood got affected, wished I’d been there when it happened but I was at work.

13. Speaking of work, I left the job that I love and ended up in another job, which didn’t last long – for so many reasons. But it gave me the chance to be a mac user for 2 months, so no complaints there.

In summary:

Top 5 Highlights:
1) World Cup 2010 (we should have it every year!)
2) Discovered Tumblr (only awesome people will get this)
3) Sour Sally opens in Singapore! (mixed mochi ftw)
4) 2 words: iphone 4 (blackberry who?)
5) Ariel Peterporn (my hottest asian man has nice big.. watches and a nice butt)

Top 5 Downers:
1) Broke up with FP (got back 2 weeks later, but it was still one of the darkest periods of the year)
2) Left a job I absolutely loved (this is like a second breakup)
3) FP got into a major traffic accident (left him homebound for 5 months, we spent a good half of the year indoors)
4) Sucking at a new job so bad that it was short-lived; it peaked and ended within 2 months.
5) I didn’t get to travel at all this year

So that was my year. Thought it pretty much sucked, but as I was doing up this post and remembering fun and great stuff – it didn’t seem too bad after all. It’s all about perspective.

Before I did this post, I was feeling afraid to face 2011. But now that I feel better about the year, I look forward to a better year.

It’s all about perspective, isn’t it?

Oh well, my logic is half screwed half the time anyway. Also, another reason why I wanted a Nintendo Wii was because I suck at PS3 games, and he wouldn’t want to play anything with me on PS3 because of that. Plus I’ve always been good with Nintendo DS games, so i figured – why not?

Back to topic.

The set we got included Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort, as well as a set of 3-in-1 Sports kit at a really good price. So we’ve been playing the Wii and experimented with different games. Some we loved, others not really. So here are some of my pics and my comments on them.

Wii Sports Resort

My favourite game within Wii Sports Resort has got to be Archery. I didn’t think I’d like it, but I did! Now just to sharpen my skills so i can throw darts accurately in real life. I kid, I kid.

The levels get increasingly difficult. As competitive as both FP and I are, we could only handle up till the Intermediate stages. The Advance stages can wait till we get better. Nice graphics and scenery though for Archery.

It felt really good when your aim lands on a great spot on the target tho.

Another favourite of mine from Sports Resort would be table tennis – mainly because I am just so damn good at it (totally kicked his ass ) Doesn’t help that I’ve never played table tennis before, but have always wanted to take up tennis. Make sense?

This is really a nice game to play. The last time I played a golf-related game was Pangya! which was ages ago. So playing Golf in Wii Sports Resort brings back the excitement. I’m a little rusty tho, but all in good time!

Love the graphics in this game

Just a small comment tho: the Golf game in Sports Resorts is much, much better than in Wii Sports. Well obviously, since they did an upgrade of the console prior to Sports Resort. But it was just to alert those of you who has both games like we do.

Moving on to Wii Sports.

The first thing we did when started meddling with Wii Sports was find out our Wii Fitness Age by taking a fitness test which comprises a bit of bowling, a bit of baseball and a bit of tennis. FP’s fitness age is 67 while mine is 62. Oh it will get better!

There is only one game that I really, really enjoyed on Wii Sports and that is Boxing. Yes Boxing! who knew it would be incredibly therapeutic to punch the daylights out of people? After many rounds of playing Boxing on the Wii, I felt as if I had done one hell of a workout – something that I haven’t done in a long time and boy did it feel good.

Afterthought

To be honest, the Wii really makes you move and use muscles that you haven’t used for ages. Seriously, the motions needed to punch someone in the face, or to swing a golf club – it really requires you to do them exactly the way you would do it in real life.

Add a sprinkle of the “feeling of excitement and novelty of a new console” plus hours of game play because of that and you’ll get 2 very unfit individuals who are aching all over as if they’ve just finished a major marathon.

I’m still aching from playing the Wii but on the other hand, it feels great as I haven’t been active in a long time. It’s a fantastic game to play with a bunch of people, and footage of actual gameplay (of the players) can practically be blackmail material because it looks really funny from a spectator point of view.

Okay now let’s rest these poor muscles of mine.
