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.

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh.
