New Year Eve. 5...4...3...2...1

The whole point to New Years is not just to have a new year. But that we should be new, better and different people. That is why we exercise to RE-NEW our bodies. That is why we write GOALS to get a Renewed sense of our potential. That is why we make RE-SOLUTIONS because we resolve that there are solutions inside of us that we have not tapped into. So don't waste each New Years season. Maximize it! Start fresh using a new perspective for it will enable you to tap into a new season with greater capacity.

So how did I celebrate my New year eve? Every other year, I never failed to travel down to Marina bay platform to countdown with my friends but this year was an exceptional special and different. Instead of squeezing with the massive crowd over at various places ( suntec city/ marina square/ esplanade), I crashed into Boy's friend house and count-down with them. Discussion made in the group whatapps on Pot-luck gathering. Loving pot luck decision because you will see funny ideas coming out from each individual. Like what to bring, what to cook, creative ideas throwing out. A table of 15 people gathering around the table, can you feel the coziness and warmth? Hahahaha.



We have no particular theme, so everyone just bring random but edible food over. So basically, we have cupcakes, satays, BBQ chicken, Fried rice, Fried Noodles, Earl grey cake, Mango cake, Jelly-shots, Snacks, Sashimi, Roast Duck, Fried Prawn rolls laid on the table. Weird combination but yeah we do enjoy the food. 







And the best part was Wei yang brought over tokyo banana! If you fancy banana, this banana cakes is a must to try. Pretty over-rated whereby most tourists will come back with a few boxes of these kind when they travel to Japan. However, good news is they have franchised it to Singapore, outlet at Orchard central next to Gongcha. But you do have to pay a price of this. A box of 8 Tokyo banana cost $30 whereby you can get it for less than $20 in Japan. Will you consider buying this?




We played charade, Indian poker & some other drink-card games over the dining table. Lots of laughter aroused in the living room. Too loud till we were afraid that the host's neighbour will drop by knocking at our door step. We waited till 12am to count-down in front of the television. So much of acting to be so anticipating to shout HAPPY NEW YEAR! When firework started bombing around, we went around sending our greetings. Thinking that I would miss this year firework but i'm absolutely wrong. It took few mins till I realised that Yishun has firework!! Managed to catch a glimpse of the firework with someone special beside me, holding my arm and admired the beautiful firework though it was rather a far distance from us ;/ Our first firework moment lasted for 10 mins (;


We left pretty early then the rest because our body couldn't endure much. Lack of sleep on the previous night did this to us. HAHAHA. But still, counting down with you marked off my 2013 well. 2014 will be a good year, I promise ;)




Happiness keeps you sweet. Trials make you strong. Sorrows keep you human. Failure keeps you humble. Success keeps you glowing. And God keeps you going! Keep going & Happy New Year!  

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straight, forwardly, without complexities or pride. So I love because I know no other way. 


 Till then.

My 2014 resolution


God gave me another half mum & 2 more sisters in Year 2013 (:


The friends that I have made (:



And not forgetting, the best man that god gave me!































New Year’s Eve is often seen as a time of rebirth, the chance to start anew. We all come up with the regular resolutions for the upcoming year (losing weight, seeing family more often and/or falling in love ), but often our ideas of what should change are too broad. This New Year’s Eve, we should all vow to take a closer look into our lives and make decisions about ourselves then. Am sure everyone has New Year resolutions , even though they might vehemently claim they don’t have one. Today is the last day of 2013 and what a year it has been. At least for me. As you think and reflect back on all the events that have unfolded throughout the year, what are you thankful for and what do you think could have been done differently? If there is still bitterness or anger in your heart, isn't it time to let go? Carrying that burden only weighs one person down, you. Let go and let God. If your year has been filled with much joy and laughter, then good for you. Spread it around even more, we need more happy and positive people around.

 My 2014 resolution:
  1. Work hard to earn more money to bring my parent to European countries
  2.  To travel at least 3 times a year (Bangkok, Hong Kong & Taiwan)
  3. Go overseas for a diving, climbing or running holiday (any would be good, I really don’t mind.)
  4.  Include more natural foods and less refined foods in my diet.
  5. To tone up my body shaped (Bonus if I could get my abs)
  6. Meet up with my friends often
  7. Self-improvement
  8. Hoping to help my friend to publish his blogshop well, widespread to world wide.
  9. To achieve higher level of baking skills. This is something I find it quite a pity. Though I could easily brush it off with lack of time as a good excuse, but I guess I really need to buck up. 
  10. Lose weight.I’m not exactly overweight, nor am I thin. I’m always in between hovering between S & M depending on the cut. And it’s a sucky feeling sometimes when I look into the mirror. So I’m going to try to lose weight. But it’s kinda hard to do that especially when I love to indulge in food.
  11. Be the best girlfriend for my Boy.
  12. Spend more time with both family.
Last but not least, being positive and staying happy are the main things I want to achieve in 2014. I believe that only when we are happy, we can make other people around us happy too, we can be productive at work, we can do many great things with positive mind. The more we are upset, negative and grumpy, the worse thing will happen. People always complain "Why are there many shitty things keep happening to me?" and forget to ask themselves "Have I been looking at my problem positively?"

Till then.
