The whirlwind year

Reminisce :

• January - Sprained ankle
• February - Housewarming parties at KF's new home (ours now)
• March - Got a Robomop (greatest invention ever!); signed up at True Fitness Jaya33; pierced my ears!
• April - Went to Hong Kong & Macau; started on wedding preparations
• May - Bought my wedding shoes (didn't know it at that time)
• June - Sammi Cheng concert in Genting; Great Singapore Sale
• July (the most happening month!) - My first box of cupcakes; HP5 movie; Chiangmai company trip; Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows; my first treasure hunt and trip up to Cameron Highlands; pre-wedding photoshoot at Love Vision SS2 and The Saujana hotel
• August - Tendered my resignation in Colliers
• September - Last day in Colliers; went to Shanghai with mummy
• October - First day at new job; got legally hitched on 6th October at Thean Hou
• November - Our wedding day 17th November 2007; honeymoon in Bali
• December - Settling into my role as wife and housekeeper

I spent more than half of 2007 engrossed in wedding preparations. Spending the latter part of 2007 and early 2008 attending weddings. Seems like we're at that age.

Reflections of 2007 :
1) Complete my TPC tasks submission - procrastinated yet another year.
2) Start studying seriously for Board interview - I'll do it this year, promise.
3) Travel at least once overseas and once locally - well, Singapore, Chiangmai, Cameron Highlands, Shanghai and Bali should count.
4) Be a good weekend-housekeeper and a weekend cook - I'm starting on this, so far so good.
5) Keep my weight below 50 kilos - now this is one achievement I am very happy about, and I'm glad that I am now more conscious about what I put into me.
6) Revamp my wardrobe - urm, well, I found out that this is one expensive resolution. But I did spend slightly less than 2K this year on clothes (excluding wedding items). I like having new clothes, and looking slightly better, but I feel bit silly when I become destitute at the end of the year and kick myself for spending on frivolous items like clothes :P

Oh well, that was easy. Looks like it's easier to reflect when you have fewer resolutions. So, this year, shall be the same.

In 2008, I resolve to :

• Seriously work towards obtaining my Registered Valuer's license (most of my coursemates have already gotten theirs, there's really no reason for me not to)
• Be a supportive wife, good housekeeper, and a try-my-very-best cook
• Be more thrifty and save enough to get a new car
• Take better care of my health and use my gym membership diligently
• Travel! - Krabi and Bangkok already on the list
• Be a good friend and a better person

Have a good new year, everyone! :)

Usually, at this time of the year, like all other people, I reminisce and reflect and dream and look forward.

This year I shall do the same :)

Psst ... Kevin Han uploaded our wedding photos on his website already. So if you're not a Multiply fan, you can click here.

Let it snow

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've got no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally say goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the snow
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And my dear, we're still, good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow ...

- Now, if only it would snow some money down to me ...

Wedding photos!

Finally! The photos are all up here. [I think I took more photos in this 6-months span than I ever did in my entire life].

Took me 6 days to upload all 5 albums : Pre-wedding photos, ROM, wedding dinner, tea ceremony and Bali honeymoon.

You see nothing at the link?

Haha.

Sign in with your multiply account, then you can see lor.

Or, ask very nicely to be my multiply contact, and I just might oblige :P

Must protect the privacy of the best wedding team in the world :)

Pre-wedding, ROM and Bali photos are up in my multiply.com site. In the midst of uploading the wedding day and dinner photos. Photos only available to those in my network. Please add me as a contact in multiply if you don't see the photo albums from the link provided.

My most favourite shot of all :

I'm too lazy to post up pictures. Also because my photographer is too bogged down with work to actually deliver the pictures to me *sob sob*

Anyway, today, I spent a few thousand RM (actually, more like KF's RM cos I have a pathetic credit limit) booking trips for 10 of us to Krabi in April and a Raya trip with the in-laws to Bangkok - yiiippeee! :) Good to have something to countdown to ... it feels evil to plan next year's holidays so early, but well - what else do you live for if not for holidays??! :P

More stuffs to look fwd to :
A wedding a month until February.
Christmas!!!
New Year resolutions ...

Meanwhile, back to work - need to earn back some money for the incredibly empty bank account :P
