J*neen is now a walking lethal germ-carrier. My gut was attacked by the gastric flu bug yesterday and I’m down with the sore-throat and influenza today…*stuffy nose*

i’m a cranky girl when i’m sick….Watch Out All!!! =( i’m a crabby, grouchy infested tornado!! i’ll knock anyone who comes my way! *grrr* =(

I went party shopping for a retro-themed party over the weekend. I was transported back to nostalgia at this shop along Tan Quee Lan Street. It was brimmed with toys and snacks of the 70’s and 80’s – most still in their original packaging and glory! I felt like a child again as I gleefully filled my baskets with bits of my childhood again.

Hmm…if only life is as simple now as it was then through the eyes of a small 7 year old? Where life only revolved around playing catch, ‘5 stones’, simple card games and eating ‘super rings’ and ‘mamee’. =D

Ah well, but I did try and re-live that bit of childhood by having an afternoon of ‘snap’ and ‘5 stones’. We all went slightly hysterical. It was hilarious… I secretly think my mobile skills and agility were much better when i was 7?!?!

Candy Girl paper dolls! My favourite – except they have turned them into stickies now. =)

‘Snap’, ‘Happy Family’, ‘Old Maid’ (this game ain’t so funny now that we’re getting old and *gasp* becoming old maids..haha), ‘Reversi’…. I am a child again!

thank you mr lion! *muaks*

New Year’s Eve was spent at Thumper (Goodwood Park Hotel) with the boy and a bunch of friends. It was good fun with lots of laughter and drinks to usher in the New Year…but I do wish we weren’t at Thumper! The music was awful and except the slightly nice bit that we had a nice table on the veranda over-looking Orchard Road, the club really reminded me of an 80’s hotel lobby joint someplace else. (like maybe in Vietnam or somewhere… =< )

I had a nice meal at Rama Thai with Daddy and Mummy on New Year’s. Nothing like a gastronomique delight of spice, crabs and fins to start the New Year on a good note. 🙂

It is that time of the year again.

As I prepare to bid a final farewell to 2006, I look back and muse over this past year.

With each passing of the last twelve months, I felt myself shed away the ‘baby-ness’ in me layer by layer – sometimes willingly and others, not quite willingly. Being 24, I no longer hear exclamations of what a young babe I am. And perhaps, it is by this ageing number that I find myself in a slight rush to take on more adult responsibilities and carve something out for myself that I can truly be proud of.

I am proud that I have been able to stop myself from getting lost in the clockwork motion of life and that I have been able to consistently check if I am moving forward everyday and not stalling.

I left the world of flying (goodbye blue skies and beautiful cities, sights and sounds) because I felt stagnated, and because I have seen what the world out there had to offer. I hungered for a bigger piece of the pie. There are things to be missed about flying, but I am never one to believe in looking back.

I delved head-on into the financial market in search of my money seed to plant. To date, I am still unsure if I have found that golden seed….but I’ll give myself some more time.

However, on this still very short yet rather turbulent journey, I see more bits of this universe and even more faces of people. And this, has put myself in many quiet moments where I question myself about life, myself and such. I struggle to find that optimum balance in my life as I pendular across the fine lines of contentment/discontentment, happiness/unhappiness, needs/greed and being real/plastic.

I am still bopping and bouncing. Hopefully soon, I’ll find that balanced gravity that will hold me centered. =) I am optimistic.

2006 also opened a new creativity door for me and prodded me down a fresh, exciting road – my Musical Journey. Through the right movements of the planetary stars, my music producer Jack and I crossed paths. He has been a motivator, teacher and most importantly believer. I have at times tortured him with my warbling vocals and not so perfect tunes, but yet he pushes me on. I constantly seek for new inspirations to write my songs and work on tuning my vocals. I know that soon, 我們的合作會擦出火花. I am excited!

In 2007, I hope to elevate what I’ve started off in 2006 to another higher level. I hope to stay even more focused in my dreams and aspirations, to inch a step closer towards my optimal balance in life and most importantly, to enjoy the simplicities of everyday with a genuine twinkling smile plastered on my face. =)

To end, I would like to thank these people who have made my 2006 a rather beautiful one! haha, I sound like I am receiving the oscars or something! ……
