It has been a rather rough start to the new year with the onset of busyness, fatigue and new challenges.
Nonetheless, looking at these photos just reminds me that I am already so blessed, especially with the people who love me.

Thank you Lord, for Your love and goodness, and for everything that you have placed in my life. In You, I put my faith and trust to work things out in my life, in Your way and time.

New Year's Eve with the family and loved ones:)

Thank God for an amazing year! 2014 has been a year of milestones
(my first year of being a SPED Teacher, my salvation, and my engagement),
and travel (Hong Kong, Penang, Gold Coast, Malacca, and Japan) for me.
Trusting and believing that He has greater things
in store for me in the new year.
2015 will be an exciting and even better year!

F1 weekend.
Really thankful for having won free passes to watch the action live!

Training for our upcoming Japan trip - Drinking sake...
...the Japanese way!

A trip down memory lane.
Forum the Shopping Mall holds a lot of childhood memories for me.
My mum used to send me (and my sis) for all kinds of contests back then.
At the age of 6, I went up on stage dressed as a little green tree and recited
a six-line nursery rhyme to hundreds, maybe thousands of people.
Amazingly enough, I won the top prize and til today, I still wonder how I did it.
So on this one Sunday, the boyfriend made me pose for a photo on this
very same stage to have me "re-live" the moment.
Hahaha:D

And of course, a selfie of us on stage:D

Children's Day school outing to S.E.A Aquarium.

Celebrated our 20 months by stuffing ourselves silly
