Hello 2013, Goodbye 2012

in Life as it is

In a blink of the eye, it is now 2013. Wow. Time really flies as you grow older, isn’t it?

I haven’t been blogging – excuses being having writer’s block, being too busy spending my free time with those I love, going on holidays. But really, I haven’t been writing because I just simply don’t feel up to it. I want to record my life, so that I can read back years later, and appreciate everything that I have gone through. But I just don’t have the energy and the motivation to do it.

Maybe the start of the new year will be a good time to set my resolutions, as well as catch up with the writing on this blog -

{1} Sleep – I hope to sleep before midnight, and to achieve a healthy sleeping pattern with minimal oversleeping. Working weird hours in 2012 made me sleep at weird hours (2-3 am) and wake up at unhealthy timings (10-11 am). I hate this sluggish-ness, and I hope that both J and I can get some quality sleep hours (between 10-2 am) everyday!

{2} Eat – Eat better, that’s my resolution almost every year. I make baby steps improvement, so I hope to keep this up! I aim to eat more fresh veggies, fruits and yogurt / milk. Eating healthy makes me happy. :) Of course, I also hope that I can learn to whip up more delicious and healthy dishes, to prepare myself as a wife. :P

{3} Sweat – This year, I really need to exercise more. I aim to exercise at least twice a week, one time to focus on cardio, and the other to focus on toning. Regular exercise will not only make me slimmer, but also give me the much needed health!

{4} Work – I hope to be really committed to my students this year. There may be big decisions which may waver my commitment, but I still hope to see them all through till the end of this year.

{5} Write – In 2013, I hope to blog closer to the heart. I have already reduced my sponsorship posts as I want to make this blog more personal, something of greater substance to my own life. However, this space will still feature a couple of sponsored products once in a while.

{6} Love – This will be a huge year for us. I want to be able to love with all my heart, to be the one who will always be there for J, as well as all my other loved ones. I hope to treat each day as though it is the last, so that I can properly and truly cherish each and every moment with my loved ones.

{7} Discover – Last year has been wonderful. I went on a total of 6 holiday trips overseas, and also took a staycation in Singapore. I worked hard, and enjoyed hard. A true blue Hwa Chong-ian. This year, because of my commitments and J’s schedule, we wouldn’t be traveling as extensively. Hence, I hope that we can maximize our holidays by going to new places, so that we can continuing exploring new spaces and ideas!

{8} Zen – I know this will not be an easy year with huge changes in our lives, and the easily-stressed up me will feel very very pushed to the edge. I hope that I can learn to be more zen, to apply more relaxation techniques in my life. By sleeping, eating and exercising well, I know I will be able to manage stress better. As we are starting to get very into aromatherapy, I also hope to incorporate that more into our lives!

Hope that 2013 will be amazing!

My sista and I. Awesome makeup on her, right?

Photobooth! :D

Grandmas

Oct 23, 2012 by
in Life as it is

If you noticed, I have promised to blog more, but I still haven’t. Well, it’s because my paternal grandma fell ill some time ago, and we got all busy visiting her in the hospital.

This is my grandma, with my aunt, my sis and I, during my cousin’s wedding. 

I have 2 grandmas, one from my mum’s side of the family, and the other from my dad’s side. Honestly, I love them both, but I doubt I ever properly express it.

You know how specials grandmas are? They have the ability to make every single of their grandchildren feel as though they are the most loved one. At least, I felt this way.

Cherish them, love them, and spend time with them, before it’s too late.

Ma Ma (‘grandmother’ in Canto), I hope you get well soon.

A cheeky, happy day

Oct 6, 2012 by
in Because love ♥, Life as it is

It’s a good day yesterday – my cousin’s wedding! I used that as an excuse for me to have a day of rest, and I realised I really needed it.

Went for breakfast at Starbucks in the morning before going for a facial session in town. After that, I went for a hair cut and treatment session. Everything was so pampering!

When I reached home, I helped my mum and aunt put on light makeup and then did the most awesome makeup for my sister! She had glowing skin the entire of last night.

Here’s a photo of my baby J and I. (More photos from the wedding to be up soon!)
