Another New Year Resolutions

It's gonna be a new year in a few hours time. Time to reflect, appreciate and welcome the new year with adjustments!

Year 2010 was like going on a roller-coaster ride for me. Since 1994 I have never cried that hardly until this year when my relationship failed. Because of this, I had thoughts and feelings that I have never expected myself to experience. However, I grew stronger in it. With the help of friends like Vinny & Mezzo Melz who always shower me with inspiring and motivating phrases, I started to see light to the issue that I once thought would put an end to how I continue my life.

Of course, thanks to my determination too, I slowly re-opened myself and started doing and planning things that I have always wanted to every day, as though I wont be living the next day. It was tiring but I was really happy. I was thankful to Toby He, who never failed to join in my plans. It could be because of our common interests that made both of us closer. =))

Then I changed my job. Another step closer to my career interest. I got into an educational industry and was thrilled when I know that there's now a 'specialised diploma' in Food Science and Nutrition, a course I wanted so much to pursue in my Polytechnic days.

......... Now to the 2011 New Year Resolutions Adjustments.

♪ To have a work-life balance, organise them in such a way that I will feel every day was being utilised meaningfully.
♪ To explore around the world, be it places in or outside Singapore.
♪ To continue my exercise schedule for a healthier body.
♪ To take note and improve on my diet for a healthier body too.
♪ To enrich myself by taking up courses to my interest.
♪ To be good and caring for Baby Justin. ^^

Eve to 2011!

The eve to year 2011, I...

♪ received a red scarf
♪ helped 2 old China couple
♪ strolled home from Dover

and Sinister Tan was in the picture for all the above. =)

He got me a red scarf from Nepal specially for my trip. He wanted to surprise me by coming to my place right after he arrive Singapore's airport on Christmas eve (it was just about an hour before Christmas), but I re-scheduled the date. He was down with stomach virus the day before we agreed to meet and this LS-ing, vomiting and fever persisted for a few days. Seeing him in pain, I suggested going to his place nearby instead. This was when I was touched by his kind intentions.

"Dont need.. Jurong is your sad area =))"

When I read this message, I was so touched can? T_T

Thank you Sinister Aaluoos Tan!! =D

And that's my simple last day of 2010.

This shot by Fishball made my day after a quarrel with BD.

Junior? Jasper?

I dreamt of Junior the night before I went for Baby Ezann's shower. Junior was running around with a piece of chicken in the playground below my place. *misses*

With the help of Adrian and his GPS, we managed to get to Fiona's residence. Many familiar faces from ACL brings back memories to me. Daniel, one of the ex-colleagues that I only befriend days before I left the company greeted me warmly like a long lost friend. =) Baby Ezann is such an angel~ She was sleeping so soundly and she looks so adorable!

Then I spotted one very cheeky face looking at me when I went into the living room. Mimi the timid baby girl dog/girlfriend of the Papa dog (there is some incest going on~) was looking at me with her innocent eyes! And while playing with her, I spotted another very quiet face below the majong table. Jasper!

One look at him and Junior's images flashed through me. I immediately asked whether he is a Maltese-Shihtzu (I know not all dogs who look like Junior is this mixed breed, but I just wanted to affirm my guess) and Fiona's brother affirmed this! Jasper is especially calm. To my surprise, he came wagging his tail at me when I called out to him. He even laid on my thighs and sat butt to butt with me every time I enter the living room.

 He was so quiet below the Majong table...

 Struggling and opening his mouth for the first time in his Grandpa's arm when I waved & said "bye bye" to him, as though wanting to tell me "don't leave~" =(

I felt a sense of acceptance from him. =)

Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve is half day! or rather, party day for Finance!

We had our annual Christmas Party and seeing all the kids coming in in the morning, all of us basically are not in the mood for work! It's my first time having a department's Christmas Party and I had fun playing games, taking pictures of the lovely deco, food, presents and kids.

I won prizes for 2 of the games, and gave the presents to the kids. But one of the colleagues rejected my gifts saying "我的宝贝有很多了，有心就好。" =) And her kids were smiling at their simple hand-made gifts, which compared to the other kids, I really felt "simple & contented" in their smile. =)

There were lucky draws too, and I was called to received the 1st consolation prize. This is what I call "beginners' luck". =D Reminds me of my Polytechnic's prom night, when I won a consolation prize too.

Continued my 2nd half of the day shopping with my lovely twins, Jan. We went shopping for her boyfriend's Christmas present and Baby Ezann's shower present. So looking forward to the baby shower this Sunday! ^-^
