The year of 2014 has ended 8 days back with a big bang at Taipei 101 countdown with Dora and Huimin. I had long wished to countdown once in such a crazy manner and I probably have ticked it off the list. The travel trip may not have been my best travel experience but i guess in every trip, i learn something new and more about myself.
Many friends or acquaintances are often shocked/ amazed when i shared how much i truly enjoy those solo moments of traveling (ok, to be honest, minus having to eat alone AT times when you really wish you could share the food). Traveling solo has definitely made me more independent, and learning to step out of my comfort zone. And as i moved on to my 4th job in 8 years, i really landed myself to an IA job that allows me to fly and travel while working. I look forward to being exposed to different work cultures, and definitely to challenge myself in different scopes/ aspects of the career life. And definitely, i give thanks to my parents and sister who have allowed me to feel at ease to make this move. No matter where i am traveling to, i always remind myself that i need to stay safe not only for myself, but also for the people at home who worries for me. Give me a year or two, for a chance to breathe on my own while i still can, and i cant give enough thanks for that.
2014 also saw another dream come true to purchase the cambodia property. still waiting for the last bit of legality signing and then i could really consider the purchase complete. it was something within my means and i hope this could not be a good investment that enables me to be more independent as well. And the family went for our 2nd family trip in recent year to Japan and boy, i do love that place! Hopefully the coming Mar trip to Nagoya will be fantastic as well!
These were the happy things that made my 2014 memorable. And to the upset memories, i am sure time will help to heal out those wounds. And wherever you are my dearest Weiwei, i hope you will be the chubby person i used to know. Stay that way, and i will be glad for you my dear friend. We will miss you sometimes, but life will continue.
To 2015, i hope you will be a fantastic year, but as always, i am only wishing for good health and happiness to myself, people i love and people who loved me too. Let it be a great 30th year! :)

been awhile since i have my alone time, having breakfast at my fav place. watching videos,reading notes and watching the world goes by. looking at young parents immersed in their new phase of lives, teenagers studying and chatting, time seems to really fly past.
its another 10 months before i officially graduate. perhaps its time to think of what i want to do next.

its been a really long time since i last blogged, and boy, i was really busy the past months with studies and work.
been adapting quite ok to the new work environment; like my job which provokes my mind, but at the same time, have to constantly remind myself that i'm alr into my 27th year, and i need to portray a more professional self at work. as i'm busy fighting fire at work and at school, i sometimes ask what i'm actually seeking for. didn't i always want a very simple laid-back life? why do i seem to go off-track? i den realise i probably cant sit still. yes, i would love to nua one whole day at starbucks, ok maybe everyday for a month. but after that, maybe i wont like it anymore. so i guess i would still love to lead a very busy packed life, and whine alot that i have no free time to chill and let my hair down. perhaps that's really how i wish life would be.
or maybe i just wish that u can hold time in ur hands: pause when u like, fast forward when u r miserable, and rewind to reminisce the sweet memories. but now my life is Playing....

2011 has really been a very fast year as many said. and i do agree for the first time. the first half of the year whizzed past w many work commitments and also preparing myself for the MBA interviews. and it was w luck that i managed to pass thru and secure a place in NBS. :) started in Aug and i'm in the mid of my 2nd sch term. 4 more to go! :) also made my 2nd trip to Cambodia during CNY and was really glad to see how the kids have matured and grow. it was also good to see some of them again when they were in Sg for about 2 months in mid Sept. :)this year, i went to Europe (Spain, France and London) in July for 2 weeks with hf, hyu and hy. was a good trip with the sun, and i do miss Europe at this very moment. i hope i will be back very soon (hopefully i will make a trip to US before that :p) and before that i really should start to save!the next big event was to move into the next job. i remembered how much passion and drive i had when i first entered, and how much i would love to stay and see the sch grow. a pity that i didn't have the stamina to last, but many said that the move now is a better career progression and i certainly hope it will be. *cross fingers that this will last*2011 has been a fulfilling year, and it certainly made me think of how fortunate i've been in the past 26 years. to my 27th year, i hope you will be an interesting year, filled with more happiness, and more fulfillment. and that in this year, i hope to see myself growing (spiritually, and not physically) and embracing my life with another kind of perspective. cheers to good health for my family and friends :)

the last day of slacking away on the sofa, with a cup of milk tea, reading bimbo magazines or watching tv shows.
just done with my 1st trimester of my mba prog and so far its been a fulfilling journey. i enjoyed going for classes, listening to my lecturers, rushing for hw but certainly not the preparation of exams when im in a holiday mood. but well. t1 is over and i have 5 to 6 more terms to go. gambatte!
sent yin to the airport yest, and its been a long time since i felt like crying. we all knew that she had to make a difficult decision and we cant be of much help to her but all we can do is to show her our support. jiayou ger. its a journey that just began.
going to hanoi tmr w mum and popo for a 3d2n short trip before starting work in fedex on tues. wishing myself all the best :)

this is definitely a day worth to remember.
today is the beginning of an important milestone in my future. i've been thinking of achieving this aim before i turned 30 and by luck, i really managed to be reaching it.
got offered a place with NBS MBA and i'll be taking it up. been wanting to upgrade myself while in this job since it allows more flexibility and time for me to take part time courses. at least, my dream is beginning to form and i will work hard towards it. no more hun shui mo yu! haha.
love what you do, put your heart into it, and you will be rewarded. jiayou min yu!

been neglecting this blog for a long time. feb was a really short and hectic month. was the month of chinese new year, where i spent a very different CNY overseas all alone without my family. on second thoughts now, i m really glad i didn't have to celebrate the 1st moment of CNY alone. thanks to dad! :)
so i was back to HVPV for the new year for 6 good days. it was a great time spent with the children, minus the bites and the stupid irritating cat. but i enjoyed myself in the company of the children, and what i missed deeply were the smiles i saw when we had dinner together. that was def money well spent. and of coz, fetching the new boy from the village. i hope he's settling well in now. :)
den it was a very very very very busy and bad month at work. having thoughts of throwing in the towel. but i have v good pals who have been encouraging me to stay on. so i'm hoping that i can stay on for another 6 months at least? :)
