Looking Back at 2014

It feels like forever since I updated my blog and its almost the end of 2014. I must apologize for the lack of updates as I have been mad busy. So, here's looking back at what I managed to achieve the past one year.

1. Got a place to call my own and rented one room out. With the rental yield, I managed to get a personal accident, life insurance and an endowment policy for Larissa and myself!

Exactly how I felt when I got my own home

2. Backpacked alone in Hoi Chi Minh for the first time in my life survived a horrible bout of fever during the trip that came out of nowhere and subsided as mysteriously as it came. #didnotdie

 3. Completed the foundation course which is a Certificate in Business Management so I can start on a private diploma in 2015. Not to mention that I didn't do too badly for it. 2 As, 1 B and 1 C. Yeah, I know...only a certificate but still...

4. Completed my first half marathon, the Penang Bridge International Marathon! My timing was crappy though. I haven't ran for more than 7 months and to think that the first run I go for is a half marathon. I wore ill fitted running shoes and two weeks after coming back to SG, there was pus leaking from underneath my toenail and I have to cut the damn thing off.

5. Found partners to start an online business, assisting another in her online business, managing a Facebook group and also starting a forum!!!!

6. I am now in the midst of organizing a major donation drive for a childrens' home as well!

7. Starting picking up make up tricks to make myself look more presentable so this is what I look like now.

It really doesn't feel like much now that I've typed it all out but it has really been a mad busy year for me and I'm looking forward to 2015! I bet you must be wondering about Larissa. We just celebrated her birthday in Penang during my run. Its funny to think that I was just carrying a baby and she has now turned five. Time really flies. Anyway, this is what she looks like now. 

I think that's all for now. Till next time!

Third Parties in A Relationship

Edited Post

This ZR/Alvin/Yuki scandal is all over the blogsphere. It appears that many people are condemning Zoe Raymond for coming in between a relationship that was heading for marriage.

Coming from a marriage wrecked by a third party, here are my own two cents.

I think all parties at fault. 6 months after I left my ex, I realised that there has been warning signs all along and I just did not pay much notice to it. Perhaps my being married made me think that things will work out and I shouldn't pay too much attention to it.

My ex was too easily tempted. He cheated twice in less than 6 months. It only went to show how vulnerable he was to temptation. Part of me would like to think that all men are the same but I do know of men who will reject all temptation.

The third party - yes, I hated her. I have so much hatred for her that I probably can still kick her in the face if I see her now but as a woman, I know what its like when you meet someone you think is the love of your life. This woman claimed that she had no idea he was married but I guess all third party will claim the same.

I blame mostly on my own marriage being not strong enough. Now, coming two years to having left him, I feel good. I don't need anyone else but Larissa in my life and that is good enough.

I hope that Yuki will find the strength in her to move on. She will realise in future that his cheating on her is good and she will find a better man in future.


On a side note, I really don't think Zoe Raymond is remotely pretty...Just A LOT of make up...and the fact that she promotes herself as a model? I'm sorry but she's too short to be a model in my eyes. To me, a real model should at least be 1.73m but she can barely hit the 1.65m mark.
