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.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR!

As I learn about everyone's plans to welcome the Golden Tiger Year, the more unhappy I become.  Although it was a conscious effort on our part to avoid being home for the Lunar New Year, I cannot help but feel left out during this all-important holiday. On this island, we have all but 1 so-called Chinese restaurant.  Every year, they would put up the red banner a few weeks before CNY. One red banner compared to the numerous ones back home.  How pathetic eh? There is no atmosphere whatsoever. With the "influx" of Chinese kids, 4 in total plus 1 soon-to-be-born, I made myself pack some red envelopes from home, so that the kids can experience a little of the festivities that I am so used to.   WHAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE RED PACKETS? This year, we've upgraded our celebration to include mahjong!  yes, the mahjong set and table arrived last weekend.  hao-e couldn't stop himself from ripping the plastic cover off those ivory -coloured tiles and we ...
