Round up of 2011

Time to take stock.

Looking back on 2011, it has its share of ups and downs.

Matt became a CERA and CFA all in one year!

Matt took over as the breadwinner of the family again! (pending April)

I've started on my 30-ish track, the age of no bewilderment, I hope.

I was promoted and have gradually found my footing in the team but I failed Exam 5 again, sucky.

Most of my good friends left town by September.  I still have a handful but methinks I should really hang out more and make more friends.

I started on pilates to help with my bad back and am enjoying the classes. I am still enjoying ballet but my back doesn't like it as much.

Matt and I started on weight-loss plans as our metabolism goes down with age, bah.

Matt and I started on ginkgo pills because of what's happened to Matt's mum.

Matt and I were lucky to have been able to travel quite a bit - Singapore, Shanghai, Miami, Philadelphia, Seoul, Toronto, Chicago and London.

God has blessed us with good year.  We give thanks for the enjoyable events and try to learn from those that made us sad.  We pray that we will grow in love and understanding of one another.  That our family members will be healthy, happy and content and our friends will lead fulfilling and fruitful lives this year.

3.5 more working days. my mind is on holiday! last evening's kickboxing class totally killed me! i huffed and puffed and threatened to punch my imaginary opponent senseless, but in the end, it was i that suffered, not the air molecules that got knocked around. my body is aching like a 90-year-old who's just completed 100 push-ups. i couldn't sleep last night because of the pain. i had to wake hao-e up to massage my shoulder-blades which were so sore and is still kicking up a ruckus behind me. my gosh! i tis old and feeble.

Accident on Front St

Hao-e and i just witnessed a horrible freak accident on Front St. Tonight is the first Harbour Night of 2007, and we happened to be in town for dinner. After dinner, we walked along Front St looking at the stalls set up along the side walk. There were stalls selling jewellery, ice-cream, hand-crafts, pepper jam/sauce, soap etc. And there was quite a good crowd as well cos there were 2 cruise ships docked at the Hamilton harbour. When the gombey dancers started their performance, we stood on the side walk of Burnaby St watching, gaping and taking photos. All of a sudden this horse carriage with 2 horses just sped along crushing the crowds underneath. The horses trampled over and the carriage rolled over some ppl!!! Eeks, we were shocked beyond words, thinking it could have been us. The parameds came and took 4 on stretchers. It was horrible. Hope noone is seriously hurt.

The Tudors

I just realised how good looking Jonathon Rhys Meyers is? Gosh, i just love his chiseled face and beautiful eyes. Anyway, so i chanced upon this new series loosely based on THE Henry VIII, second king of the Tudor Dynasty. You guys should watch it if you are as besotted with him and as fascinated with anything royal as i am. hehe.... So i went to find out a bit more about the rather infamous king on wiki and here's some trivia about his eventful life ( i bet, with so many women around him?!) Technically, Henry was only married twice. Four of his marriages were annulled which means they never took place. His court jester was named Will Somers . The only surviving piece of clothing worn by Henry VIII is a cap of maintenance , awarded to the Mayor of Waterford , along with a bearing sword, in 1536 . It currently resides in the Waterford Museum of Treasures . Henry VIII was the first member of the English Royal Family to wear silk stockings.
