2012 is gone and will nv return. its over and its past tense. If you have made a mistake, learn from it and nv make it again. Lets all move forward, embrace all challenges and difficulty ahead of us with a smile. We will conquer all of them somehow, just like how we did it in 2012. As always, Life is beautiful.
I deemed success as sharing the love, joy and laughter. Laugh, because tml is gg to be a better day. Smile because even if you are moody, the world is still gg to move forward anyway.
I think i am a very nice person. (HAHA) I live a good life, lead my life with joy and love with all my heart. I live well, laugh often and love much. Did you? Which also explains why I am always seen so vibrant and boomz. I live by sharing all the goodness i have. (and then I hope I wont share all my badness within me. LOL)
As i looked back, what is the thing that warms me most in 2012?
In 2011, its Graduation (hallelujah!) and finding a job that i thought always wanted. And the fact that i am able to meet a grp of really really nice colleagues. (honestly, its god gift sent present) My colleagues are so good, they are those who will call me and ask if i am feeling better if i take MC that day. One of them offered to go visit me at the hospital when i extract my wisdom teeth. (LOL!!!) As much as i appreciate the thought, but i am there for only a few hours. why go visit me!!! LOL.
I was on half day ytd, my colleague called me after work and we talked for 20 mins to ask how things are gg on. Their depth of concern for me is extraordinary. HAHAHAHA. Why so motherly. My mama didnt even call me and ask leh. T.T
LOL. Sometimes, one of my colleague will cook our share of noodles for everyone early in the morning when they are preparing breakfast for the family then bring all the way to work. Sometimes we get home made desserts, sometimes we get home made liang teh. thats how nice my colleagues are. it feels like home. I am grateful for a grp of awesome ppl working along w me.
See, 2011 is really awesome.
In 2012, its intimates.
Formspring asked me what is my favourite thing in 2012.
Its knowing intimates.
XX asked, The best thing of 2012 is?
Its knowing intimates.
See, 2012 is equally awesome.
Really awesome.
Knowing intimates can do alot of things. I have a long list.
Truth is, the depth of the topics and conversation we covered are so deep and intense, we discovered our inner-most darkest secrets. (that sounds like Anastasia. HAHAHAHA) Everything under the sun. No secrets, No hiding. Everyone is truthful. You can imagine the appreciation I have to meet them.
Thanks for making me trust you. Thanks for putting your trust in me. The feeling is mutual.
To be able to go travelling with them in February all the way to Hong Kong to complete our life's greatest crazy event. How many of your friends are willing to go travelling with you today?
To JUST know them for the past yr, to book their leave, to book air tickets and hotels and complete and share that crazy thought of yours to run in the cold?
Have you go travelling overseas with your best friend YET? Do you?
Sadly to say, I haven go travelling with my JC best friend yet. LOL. the excuse of, there-is-always-another-time. le sigh. (yes i know, you have been using that excuse. because i did. ADMIT IT. XD)
It is Intimates that make me love,
Bikram/Hot yoga.
Signed up for the most expensive package I have ever paid in my life yet. I nv look back and grateful for the opportunity to try this out, to preserve and continue.
I swear all my stress from work that make me experience giddy-ness after work is gone after i went for bikram class regularly. There is a period of time it was very bad. I can cry in the middle of the night cause I am so stressed with work.
Now, i have the attitude of keep calm and have peace. Take a chill pill, take it easy. Hot yoga and bikram are effective exercise for stress management. I proved it alr. LOL.
Everytime after yoga class, my hair is hideous. LOL.
To start running again like ODAC days:
Its Yingtian whose great inspiration make us all run for ourselves again.
For better health, CHEERS! (:
Inspirational thoughts from Emmy abt life make me think hard.
Truthful words from Valerie about relationship and incoming marriage make me reflect if its all too f&f.
And Jane nv fail to make us feel better with whatever difficulties we faced.
If anything, they serve as teachers in my journey facing the real world of cold hard facts.
We all learn from one another and I am grateful to have them.
Contented and appreciated.
I am happy. I deserve to be. (:
In december, its the season of love and giving.
The Marmalade pantry have 1-1 promotion on main course on monday. (i am not sure if the promo is over yet!)
Its either Crabmeat Linguine or Carbonara for us that day.
My favourite Crabmeat Linguine.
Carbonara.
And because there are 5 of us and ordering just 4 main course to share is too little for hungry us.
We ended up having 6 main course instead. LOL!! #Fatdieus.
Food!
We celebrated Fel/emmy birthday w a cake over at The Marmalade pantry. The expression of Fel/emmy and mine were priceless. o.O
waiter, you come at the wrong time okay. i am not supposed to be surprised. LOL. HAHAHA.
Its chocolate cake from Awfully chocolate. #fatdieus.
Cheers for future birthday celebrations!
The failed grp photo I asked a passerby to help us take. LOL. and its blurred. LOL.
And the eyeletskirt ppl (sorry, i cant help it. its very funny) went to pazzion to buy flats cause there is 20% voucher for Fel's birthday!
I am happy to be surrounded by my friends i love.
(:
Meetup the following week to celebrate Fel's birthday over at One altitude. On the way up that leave us with blocked ears. LOL.
Oh boy, I nv been up to the 63th floors before.
Its an eye opener. One of a kind birthday celebration.
And the fact that its one of the top floors at One Raffles Place, its very windy and chilly that night.
Company for the night.
HAHAHA. I swear i conquered and finished my drink of 95% orange and 5% vodka.
Finger food. too hungry for words. Truffle fries that are not really truffly enough. LOL.
Still very hungry. We ordered other main courses so that we will feel full. LOL.
Pizzas, satay, blah blah. #fatdieus.
This is probably the few pizzas w bacon that i will eat. LOL! HAHA. I am v selective when it comes to bacon.
Talked alot on crap, nonsense, get high and sorts.
Happy birthday girl. In his mind, is the thought to ensure you have a cake to blow candle that night. (:
Hope you like the perfume we got for you!
Lastly, the blur photo of us at 63th floor. LOL.
Its gg to be another complete grp shot if only YT can join us!
Its such a memorable night w a memorable experience shared with my awesome friends. (:
Life is beautiful.
Shimmery intimates.
This Christmas is made special because of shimmery intimates.
The theme is shimmery. So we are supposed to dress up with sth shimmery. HAHA.
I swear my top is shimmery. the gold thread flowers got bling bling. LOL. HAHAHA. and it just cost $12 from TE sales. LOL.
Venue: Over easy.
Date: 20 December 2012. (20-12-2012)
Time to reveal Santa/santee: 20:12. Its our auspicious time to rmb the yr. Memorable a not. LOL.
Next yr, its gg to be 20:13 to open presents.
Too many 2012 this yr.
End work and went to find Emmy first!
Asked a passerby for help and this is our touristy shot!
Usually, we are the earliest. LOL. HAHAH.
Its hand made with love by yours truly. Fits the theme ok. Got shimmers cause the crystals shine and angels totally fit the Christmas occasion. Best of all, they are the angels in my life.
What a thoughtful present. HAHA. -say YEAH-
Thats my poorly wrapped Santee's present. I forget to wrap the present until 15 mins before knock off. T.T Emmy was soooooooooooooooooooo disappointed with my wrapping skills. LOL. HAHAHA.
Ordered booze while waiting! (and i accidentally broke one glass of beer. LOL.) I am still so chill man. I continued with my photo taking before slowly remove the slight beer splashed over my phone.
Emmy's bag that is full of presents. LOL. If you find this familiar, its because shopaholic us got it free for over shopping at F21. tsk.
Early comers all deserved good lighting shots before the sun goes down and my camera goes crazy.
Mac cheese! #fatdieus
Truffle fries that are obviously fried and fried over and over again.
Chicken wings are so spicy, we almost turned purple. LOL. I think we ordered lvl 2/4 and it turns out to be a nightmare. My lips were numb after eating this innocent-looking-small-little drum let. LOL.
This is worth getting fat for. Pls order this w a scoop of ice cream! And i swear its heavenly.
Yt's watch finally arrived! The mailing took sooooooooooooooooo long, sister thought we are not gg to give her a present. LOL. HAHAHAHA. We are all very love.
This yet another thoughful present. All our presents given to intimates all gone though a through process of elimination to ensure its sth that is useful and suit their personality.
I really think we are too crazy. We are those who will throw our bags one side and move away just to take grp shots. LOL.
Polaroids to keep for lifetime!
Mini burgers!
In short, its a memorable night w joy, crazy laughter, gossips and photo taking session.
This photo look so professional with the right lightings. LOL.
And as 20:12 approaches, we consolidate our present and wait for the auspicious hour.
So the game goes like this.
We are supposed to scream our santee's name at 20:12 and see who got it right! Sadly, my deaf ears didnt catch anything to know who my santa is.
I am the first to go! And my santa is my lover. HAHA.
Sense my joy when i open my present!!! I have always wanted to get one of Jeaninegabrielle necklace but its v expensive and there is no way I will pay for it when I know how to make flowers myself.
I know how to make her flowers except for the rose. T.T Although the rest of the flowers were made using the die machine. else the ends wont be nice. then just make pleats and glue. LOL.
Her version of rose and mine is not the same. The pleats are not the same. I youtube it and I cant find any videos. LOL.
I took a long time to figure out what to buy for my santee until the right promotion came and i bought it! I am secretly thankful she didnt purchase it in the end, although she is very tempted. LOL.
Thats the only blurred photo i have with my santee. T.T
Its a truly amazing night. What have I done to receive such a priceless gift? Its fate and destiny.
In life, you will meet ppl will you will love and trust with all your heart. I met the man and I met the girls. My life is complete.
CHEERS AND HOORAY!
I am really happy that night. Share my joy. Sense my love.
This Christmas, I smiled alot. And I am grateful.
The card lover gave me. But, i didnt have a lettuce and water diet. That is so depressing leh.
Nonetheless, its been a indulgence Christmas though! Eat, Eat, Eat. #fatdieme.
The panda dust cap Valerie gave everyone is now resting on my phone. SUPER CUTE. It keeps smiling at me and it makes me happy. Hand made cards from Jane, Cards from Buddy and lover, Skull bracelet from Meiho, Chocolates and Masks from sister. I received so much this yr!
The cards have a pride of place pinned on my cock board.
And the best of the gift is this. Felica got Jeaninegabrielle to make a necklace just for intimates.
This is called the shimmery intimates Tiffany blue necklace. A specially request customized made present. Tiffany blue box - the icon of exclusivity. (maybe not anymore. BOO!!) Nvm, you wont find the exact replica of Tiffany blue box, satin flower and Eiffel tower charm anywhere else.
But, thanks for making us special on the magical night of 20-12-2012. Its a special date to celebrate w the special girls in my life. :)
It shall have a pride of place hanging on our neck for our next big thing on 12 January. CANT WAIT.
I really really love the necklace my santa give me!
And the best thing is, its has my name sew on it! In the entire world, I don think there is another veron with the same colour combi as I do. So, its really unique and exclusive. HAHAHA.
With such bonds and trust forged in the past yr. Cheers to forever friends and everlasting friendships.
Thanks for everyone's words of encouragement and sharing of wisdom. I have gained and learn alot from these brunch of girls I cant survive without.
Its a happy 2012! And I cant wait for 2013 Christmas, to scream my santee's name at 20:13 again.
I hope your Christmas had been a truly magical one. (:
I did! ^^
