It's the time to set resolutions for the new year again. I'm glad that things are getting better and better for me every year, as I continue to stay focused on the important things in life. I know that sometimes I get swayed, or get demoralised, but at the end of the day, I still persisted and I know I will get there.

In this new year, the obvious change is going to be my marital status. The good thing is that I have seen so many of my close friends getting married these few years that I don't find myself being the first to experience this change, and at least I can get advise from these friends, be it on the wedding preparation or marriage life in general. Still, with all these...I can't help but feel a little scared and confused, even though I have been looking forward to this day. I cant bear to leave home, and being physically away from my parents and my beloved dogs. Although I do have plans to bring my dogs over for a few days a week, things are no long the same anymore. I am so afraid of these changes, but who says changes arent for the better? :) The second most fearful item: dance. I will continue with my dream, but with more commitments...time is going to be very difficult to manage. But I know that I want to achieve much more in this new year in terms of dance...with the new plans and new set of teachers I have now. At work, to do well is given. So, that will be very challenging for me as well...since without my career, there will be no dance, no money, no happiness. :( I guess, I will just do my best in whatever area given to me in this new year, without getting too stressed up with work. I know stress wont help.

Recognising the above is good enough. And I shall not set too many resolutions this year, but just have one: To embrace changes and manage changes with courage. Take things as they come, stay positive, and make the best out of everything. :D

Wedding preparation wise, things are generally on track. Venue has been settled, Bridal gown is already in the making, prewedding photoshoot scheduled in first week of May, wedding bands bought. Outstanding matters are the actual day pg and videographer, guest list, and to understand what I need for the traditional chinese wedding ceremony...and THE HOUSE.

K. That is a lot of things happening.... overwhelmed.

This is my favourite pic! Taken at Goodwood Park Hotel. It was my 'fourth sister's' qiuping's wedding yesterday. :) congrats girl...think you and Shawn match perfectly! He is the man... Hehe.





Haha, so where's the picture of the bride? None here, but you can see it in my FB. So silly...but I love this pic with my lovely da jie so much!

Da jie know so many of my darkest secrets. :) but she is also the one who understands me most! So funny, when my mom and her mom were seated at the same table yesterday, they chatted like long lost friends. And nana says we will look like them years down the road. :) but...sweet.

Ping will be the 3rd sister getting married. Next in line will be Amanda, and 5th being me. :) yes, Me.

Night world.

It's year end again. How time flies...

It is a year where a lot of effort was put in dance, yet achievement was way below expectation. Dance dance and more dance, and definitely a great deal of stress arising from this. It is indeed a year which my passion for dance kind of died down, and rekindled, and ... went somewhere and came back and...u know, just confusing. Perhaps, I really should think simple. Dance should really be put back in its simplest form.

Friends (1). I'm pretty disappointed in some...but I guess it's part and parcel of life. There will be some form misunderstanding here and there, but I believe things will get better, as long as we remain true to ourselves. Still, through this I learnt that noone should hide his/her emotions if they get hurt and no friends should ever intentionally / unintentionally say things to put others down. Be frank, and tell the other party that you do not like how you are treated...dont bottle things up and then blow up and ruin the friendship. But I guess...some things are gone case already, so no point trying too hard to fake it. But at least going forward, no more hiding...I believe that is the best way to move forward.

Friends (2). I am glad I have some really close friends and colleagues-cum-friends who are always there for me. I can really feel the sincerity in these people, and I know I can do almost everything for them. They truely love me, I know. :)

Work. I'm glad Siew Lim is back. We can laugh and talk rubbish and do our report at the same time and still get it done efficiently. Good colleagues make a difference. :)Thanks for the lovely xmas present too! Love u! This year at work has been rather challenging...but I have also learnt alot especially in terms of leading projects. But I guess, I must learn the art of delegating...!!!

Love. I found the right man to take care of me, someone who has me as his top priority. I am very sure he is the one who will be there for me for the rest of my life. :)

The Royal Carribean cruise has successfully changed my impression of cruises! In fact, i'm looking forward to the next one, hopefully a one week cruise out of the msia area. Heard of one that goes to Ho Chih Min and then Hong Kong...shall check this one out.


Well... company makes a big difference. Travelling with JQ is always fun! :D We spent our time eating and eating, challenging each other at the table tennis table (we are now experts leh!), soaking in the very salty pool, watching magic shows and music and dance, taking silly pictures and talking rubbish whole day long, and most imptly catching the 'sunrise' and hearing those precious words from him! Had a relaxing one on board...happy me. :)
