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!

Looking back at 2013

The first month of 2014 is almost over and I am only just looking back at 2013. 

2013 was an okay year for me. I backpacked alone for the first time, dated a few guys but nothing good ever came out of it, ran my first 10km, started swimming regularly,  became the co-organizer of a social netball team and I learned how to appreciate food! Woohoo~!

I guess what really meant anything to me was travelling alone. Especially cause I fell so damn sick on the 3rd day, I was lying on the bed in the hostel, thinking that I'm gonna die in Vietnam. So silly right?

Oh well, I am certainly in love with travelling and I am trying to make sure I will make enough to go travelling.

In 2014, I'll be starting bridging courses to my part time diploma, taking up tennis lessons, swim more, run more, eat more, enjoy my life with Larissa, bring her to places she has never been and just do what I wanna do. I want to live the life that should have been and without regrets! I've been toying with the thought of going Macau to bungee jump for the longest time. I think I need to get it done this year!

How does one juggle a kid, work, sports and studies? I have no idea but I'm gonna do it because there's no one stopping me but myself! I'm gonna self declare that I'm 18 every year and have non-stop energy for everything.

Wait, I forgot dating. Yeah, I'm kinda sick of the dating part. Can I just see everyone but not date anyone? Hahah! I was told off by a friend yesterday though. She said I wanted the convenience of a relationship without the commitment. Oh come on, haven't I got enough commitments already?

Guard your hearts ladies, don't let anyone undeserving get it. (Sounds silly coming from me) HAHAHA!

I'm also gonna start learning to COOK. I've had enough of seeing friends post photos of the amazing looking food they cook so I am gonna start once my new home is done up. Not at my current place cause my mom is just gonna scream at me. 

One last thing, I want to learn how to put together my own computer. A desktop! Since I will be moving into my own place, only fair that I put together my own desktop right?

I feel like I'm only learning to live my life as I turn 30. Better late than NEVER!
