hello 2011

I cant believe its 2011 alr. how did 2010 just come and go like this!!?? its been such a wonderful year i am kinda reluctant to let it go.

musings of 2010.

family

- with the elderyoungerbrother moving on to year 2 of uni, youngeryoungerbrother in NS, everyone seems to be growing up way too fast

- and sometimes i wish i cld spend more time at home with mummy and daddy. even dinners have become weekly affairs. booo! new year resolution to self: make more effort to come back home early

friends

- Ra, Yuqian. two of the bestest girlfriends one can ask for. no matter how busy they are (with their bfs/work/life), they always make the effort to make me feel special and loved.

- Chein ning. we complain, laugh and cry together. so thankful for having her in office and then so sad when she left office. nevertheless thankful for having met her. may the friendship cont beyond that.

- ashley. self proclaimed upgrade from being my best guy friend to husband. CHOY! touch wood dai ka lai si! zhao nie! the key word here is self proclaimed. its a one sided affair! HA HA HA. despite all that ignoring and bickering (when i am not ignoring him), i really adore my best guy friend. from his "tantrums" to his futile attempt to match make me with his mutual friend (which i am positive brings him much joy in seeing me freak out)

- MJ128 and gang. meetups on every birthday still going strong! after 7 long years. hope our Aus trip materialise soon!

and of course many many others that deserve that special mention but that cld take up another blog post for another day.... bottom line: 2010 wldnt have been as great without them. in 2011, i hope to build stronger bonds with the pple who matter most.


trips

- HK/Macau with the fav girl. :) FFTT. cant wait for the FSTT to materialise.
- BKK with Chein Ning, Joey and Mr Lee. Eat shop eat shop talk cock. we shld make this a yearly thing!

- Italy/Lugano trip with Fel in March11. the furthermost i have traveled so far. in the midst of planning and uber excited about all the plans! :))))))
- Australia in Dec.
- in the talks for a short cruise with ra and yu qian
- and hopefully hopefully another shopping trip in Jul / Aug.

with all that planned, gotta save up! love traveling, exploring and spending time away from office. ha! i think every trip is a journey of value adding to the self, to open the soul to another world. ok chim. i came up with that ohsoemoyetsoinpiring quote myself. HHA AH AHA

office

- managerial changes. mixed reactions from people but well to me its kinda for the better. sometimes people just need to learn to move on. people come people go. realities of life. grow up!

- office politics. wats an office without one? got to know the crap of some people. in capabilities, selfish mentalities... and you thought you have seen it all.

- joining the training team, being in rec com, taking on CPS.... the achievements in office thus far. i believe that there is still room for me to grow. 2 years more till gratuity. and maybe then, its time for me to go too. we shall see.

love
after knowing him for 11 years, it seems like i dont know him that well after all. sometimes i wish i didnt. and things would have turned out different.
i dont know if i am still holding on for the wrong reasons. but well i am stubborn by nature afterall. shall wait for the right one to come along. maybe he was never the right one.
as of now i am loving my singledom.

self

still in the progress of learning. about myself, about life, about the things around me. i hope to be a better person (since no one can ever be the best).
been pampering myself loads in 2010. signed myself for mani/pedis, amore gym class (feeling healthier alr) and spa/ facial treats.
thinking of picking up something new....
language? (french. spanish. tamil)
a new skill? (knitting! HA HA AH)
sport? (the lazy bug is kicking in.. i shld just stick to my gym membership)
cooking? (oh the horrors but nevertheless the most practical of the lot)

ok, i am so ready to embrace 2011 now. :)
bye 2010. thank you for being good to me
