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! ……

– mummy dearest, who has showered me with her unfailing love, patience and devotion.
– daddy, who has all his life worked so hard to provide us with the best.
– che, who has not only been a sister, but also a friend.
– mr lion, for all our good, happy play times, for being my support, pillar of strength, inspiration and steadfast emergency call number.
– elaine, for your sweetness, girly listening ear and believing.
– jack, for this opportunity. i will not let you down!

….and to all my lovely friends there who have put a smile on my face, shared my tears and laughter and made my 2006 complete. I LOVE you All!! -xoxo-

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope all you guys have had enough meat and sweets to last a year. 🙂 I did!!

My Christmas celebrations started on Friday at the boy’s sister’s dinner party. Food and sweets galore! They prepared a wonderful yummy Christmas spread. Mmm…

Oh! I have to add that the boy and I rushed to Takashimaya after my work-day ended (before his sister’s dinner party) to look for a gift for Glenda and Mark. I got them something nice for their new home and had a slight run-in with the ‘wrapping paper’ girl. In the spirit of Christmas, I am not going to mention what happened…but it really seems like that girl may get like 10 cents for every wrapper she helps Takashimay to save! Or maybe she was angry and disgruntled that she had to work near christmas – when everyone around her were shopping and enjoying the Christmas cheer. Sheesh! I am going to boycott Takashimaya till the end of the year! *fumes*

It was wonderful catching up with the girls again at Glenda and Mark’s place. More sweets there, after an already very filling dinner. 🙂 Everytime I’m with them (namely Glenda, Kabita, Rachel, Za…Val’s missing!) I feel transported back to my IJ days. They are hilariously funny. Za performed for us her ‘fit her entire fist into the mouth’ act. I was bending double from laughing way too hard. Haha! She for one has really flexible limbs! She would put a contortionist to shame. Heeeeeee……

Me and my best-est friend, Glenda. =)

I had a very nice afternoon tea session with Elaine on Saturday at Goodwood Park Hotel. I love those little finger sandwiches with soft white bread! Not to mention – scones and strawberryjam (my ALL time fav.) and their entire spread of cakes, chocolate fruit fondue…we ate till we could eat no more… Elaine got me a really funky top and an even funkier necklace. 🙂 Thanks dearie! I luve them!
