New Year's Resolution

Gong Xi Fa Cai! In Singapore, Chinese New Year is a big deal. In New Jersey, not so much. But since I missed the deadline to come up with a New Year's Resolution for 2009, I'm embracing my adopted New Year, cleaning my room, buying oranges and giving myself a goal before the Ox rears its ugly head (it is kind of ugly).

New goal: Write more.
Details: Post on blog once a week, be it fiction, non-fiction, photos or a Flight of the Conchords video.
Second goal: Work. Obama told me to.
Details: Embrace philosophy that "work" is not a four-letter word. Make money.

And so it begins...I'm adding entire photo albums of my year in SE Asia here, so scroll back through the posts to see updates on my first days in Singapore and Thailand (marked as UPDATES. Easy enough). I'm also adding photos from my trip with my brother to DC for Obama's inauguration, which I can't stop calling "Obamarama." It's like a nervous tick.

Hope you enjoy. This is Laura, reporting live from her childhood bedroom in NJ, which hasn't changed since she was 14.
