Cheers to new year,

And another chance for us to get it right. 

This would be the worst 年初三 I'd ever experienced. Terrible back aches, vomiting and loss of appetite. But never the less, the best Chinese New Year spent with boyfriend and family. This year was a little bit special, when parents decided to invite boyfriend to visit my hometown with us. Just so you know, my parents are never so open about relationships and they're not as "hip". I guess it's their culture and I don't blame them. But I'm glad they did invite him over to see the family eventhough it was quite scary at first haha. But it all went smoothly and I'm happy that he could see a few of my childhood life and close relatives here. What makes this trip even more better? Colin boy came along with us too! This was his first long ride and boy, he did it so well and I'm so proud of him. He sat at the back seat and on my lap #likeaboss.

I guess every year, we do come to a point to sit down and think of what we hope to achieve greater this year than the year before; and it's not wrong to do so unless you're slowly beating yourself up on the inside. I believe there's always a positive to a negative; instead of telling ourselves how sucky life's treating you right now or how you wish someone would pity you for where you're at. Learn to see the brighter side and you'll find joy. There's always someone in greater need than you do.

So I'll just list down a few things I've set to do this year to set as reminder to self.

1. Save money for Korea trip this June. Yes I can't wait :)

2. Promise to pamper self with mask 3 times a week. 

3. This will be hard but I'll still put it anyways. Learn to control my really bad temper with parents and boyfriend.
I scare myself sometimes and it's not even pms :\

4. Save money to go for a mission trip if possible

5. Bless at least 5 people in my life

6. Save money for Bangkok trip if it happens and hopefully it does.

7. Fulfill all my to-buy list yay

8. Stay connected with my old friends and make new ones as well
9. Lose at least 5kg this year
10. Means eat and live a healthier life

It's gonna be a very exciting yet scary year for me this year! 2011 has been good to me and I know there's so much more to come; I'll do my best to keep up especially when uni life starts. Till then, Gong Xi Fa Cai everyone! May this year be a wonderful year to us all

New Year; New Beginning

 Love one another and you'll be happy;

It's as simple and as difficult as that.

 Happy New Year everyone! I know it's pretty late to say that since it's already the second week of 2012 but what the heck, better late than never right? Anyways like I said previously, 2011 was definitely a wonderful year to look back on; Blessings after blessing. And now that our church has proclaimed that this year of 2012 will be a year of Double Blessing, heck what are you waiting for? Bring it on, babeh.

Happy Belated Birthday to the boyfriend :) Having you here next to me is already a wonderful blessing to me; despite all the arguments and disagreements that you've always let me win. I won't write an essay about us, because we both know what we've been through. There's a long journey ahead of us and I hope and pray that we'll look back at these memories and know that we'd still be here for each other. Cheers to being 23!

A beautiful day in Malacca with the boyfriend; have been convincing him to take me on random trips since who knows when. So he finally made his move to take a leave from work to bring me down to Malacca for some historical fun and food. Thank you boyfriend, extra points!

 Boyfriend being his usual self, giggles :)

 Back to the zoo! Boyfriend's favourite of the day.

 Butterflies are pretty; pretty scary to me.

 A crocodile who think he's a bird; flaps his wings!

 An ear-less bunny, seriously? 

My favourite of the day! So adorable :) 

 Famous chicken rice ball

 Durian cendol, yumz!

 More expensive than Jimmy Choo's haha

 Happy Anniversary love. I know it's been a tough journey with me, but you never gave up. I love how you take time to go shopping with me even if your feet hurts like crap. I love how you kiss my forehead and tell me that you love me in the simplest way; even just by being completely honest with each other's fashion sense or the way that we smell after a long day out. I love how you care about my thoughts and emotions and respects it despite how nonsensical it may turn out to be; even my daily needs and wants, you would want to fulfill them if you could. I love how you love me and my family and treats Colin as our very own son. I love how you build my confidence in my cooking and baking eventhough it wasn't a very complicated dish or pastry. I love how simple you are in living and your perspective about life that keeps my feet on the ground. So stop trying to make yourself feel useless all the time and that you can't make me happy. Because just so you know, you are the best thing that ever happened in my life. I'm definitely looking forward to another year spent with you :)

Here's to the end of my first post of the year. I hope and pray that all my beloved friends and family will have a wonderful year ahead of you filled with excitements and new adventures. Live life with your head held high; there you can see further and a bigger picture of your life. Happy New Year 2012!
