Looking back on 2011.

Its almost the end of 2011. Most people use this time to reflect on the past year and to plan for 2012, and i'm no different. 

I'm really thankful for what i faced this year, although unbeknownst to me, it was going to be a challenging one in aspects i would have never anticipated. But i guess, you can't be prepared for everything! And its the unexpected that really test us. I realized i was being pretty ignorant of what was happening around me for all those years. And when i finally did, i was a little beaten down. But after some soul searching i realized how strong i've become because of it. 

I am thankful for people who came into my life and made it so much better, for people who i've maybe drifted apart from (but i wish them well always), for people who were not very nice (thank you for teaching me patience) and of course, my family whom i love and cherish.

Next year is going to be a big year for me. To be more specific, I will be turning twenty one, reporting back for National Service, entering the job market...and the rest, well, i hope to be surprised with more challenges that  will help me to grow as an individual. I am undoubtedly a little scared but ready to take on everything with stride. 

Here's wishing you a splendid New Year. Make it want you want it to be.

Christmas 2011.

Had a little fun with my Xmas gifts this year. Simple and economical :D
but full of love! The smiles on the faces of the recipients is just priceless.

Lots of love from Australia (for the mean time).

My WishList

With Christmas around the corner, i'm sure most of us have some things we would like to tick off our wishlist. Here's a peek at mine !

(Starting clockwise from 12o'clock) 

 1.Ipod Touch 4 in White ...because i love listening to music and having entertainment on the go. (and i have an ipod dock but no ipod, lol)

2. Canon Ixus 230 in Purple...because i believe my current 6 year old camera needs an upgrade (and the colors are gorgeous, don't you think?!)

3. Rayban ClubMaster...because this style compliments my face best and i like the design alot. (anyone know where to get cheap knock-offs?)

4. Converse AllStar Chuck Taylor Hightops in Bordeaux...i've always wanted a pair, better wear them while i'm at a time of my life where i still can pull them off :D

5. Basket of Fruits...because i lovvveee juicing-up nowadays! 

6. Universal Studios (Singapore) tickets...because i love theme parks and this one is the newest and nearest.

7. Stationary...because i never get tired of colorful pens, notebooks and journals.

8. Denim Shirt...because shirts are my wardrobe malfunction saviour and denim is so versatile.

9. A Book...because i've recently taken up reading more, and this book just spoke to me! (Juicing books as well :D).

I believe coming up with a reason for each of my desires makes them more justified :D

Anyhows, i'll be spending Christmas a little differently this year. It's my first ever Christmas out of Malaysia and away from my parents and brother ): But, it should be interesting and thank goodness for Skype. Flying solo tomorrow for the 2nd time, too! I feel so grown up :D #maybenot

Will be scheduling a post on Christmas/the eve.
Stay tuned (:
