If i were to sum up this year in one word, it would be changes.

Believe this year is where people around, including myself make drastic decision and big changes in their life. I believe and live by the motto, change is the only constant in life, so true especially for this year. Friends getting married, friends moving on with their life, career leap, relocation and much more.

As for myself, I decided to quit my job in KL and moved my base back to my dear hometown with has the worse traffic that I could have ever imagine. Probably one of my wisest decision this year. For now, I am enjoying my career. Very fresh, very new, very exciting, schedules are like a roller coaster ride with crazy work hours when nearing dateline but full of flexibility to be independent.

It was such a Fun year for me! For a start, i went to 4 concerts, which is once every quarter  Maroon 5, swooning over ever sexy Adam Levine. Eason Chen and Zee Avi was equally awesome with different feel. Cherry on top of it all was realizing my dream of watching Jacky Cheung!! Undeniably i grew up listening to his songs, naturally i become a fan. Sadly i couldn’t make it to any of his previous musical or concerts and was sooo happy that he made a stop in Malaysia again! He does not disappoint and will definitely be part of the audience for any of his future show in Malaysia. Biggest regret in terms of concerts was not able to attend Jason Mraz’s Asia stops :(((((

Then there was the Hot Air Balloon Festival and Orbing experiences.

Favorite past time for the 2nd half of the year. Red times with Kimmies ^_^

Addiction for 2011 was unmistakable Snowflakes and Chatime. Surely i am not the only one, the first one or the last here.

Earlier in the year, i ticked off another “want to/must do” in my life. Something inspired by this little cute guy here. never had regret

Now that I’ve passed a certain age in life, invitations to weddings are coming by the throngs. This year alone I’ve attended 8 weddings to be exact.. probably this trend will continue for a couple more years, then I’ll start attending baby showers and children’s birthday..haha. Not complaining though, i love to attending weddings, a celebration of love, a good excuse to doll up (^_^) and meeting up with friends and absolutely having some great fun!

From all the weddings, this was one of the most moving. Meeting up with so many of my old pals for the entire day, recreating the ending dance pose from our scout/guides days back in 2000. Most beautiful wedding overall still was Eunice’s wedding in Melbourne. Amazingly perfect!

What is a life journey for me without a splash of travelling involve? I got myself a new camera this year or rather MrSmallface got it for me ^^ Loving it till today, Sis even brought it to Nepal and Mt Everest. talk about journey.

Went to Hanoi, Vietnam for the first time with my family. A first after more than 1o years. Loving the beautiful place, would love to revisit someday!

Then it kinda seems like tradition for me and MrSmallface to go away for our anniversary. Last year in Sabah, this year in Taipei.

Revisited Bali again with some old and new folks, still the same old Bali. Would love to go again, well, I would love to go anywhere anytime again But come on, who can resist Bali ? Still so much left unexplored. I still want to go to the Rock Bar!! Unfortunately previous trip, i was just soo close but still failed :( Must GO!

Short weekend trips

- Hadyai

- Pusing, Perak. Kellis Castle

- Weekend getaway in a bungalow we rented in Taiping. Was suppose to sekeping serendah but they are so booked out, until next year!! Too much! Eventually decided Taiping was a great midpoint to meet for the folks from KL and Penang.

2011 has been good to me. Full of new start, new challenge, new experiences in life. Learn alot, laugh alot, weep alot – probably for movies -_- Grateful I had my family and friends around me for whatever reasons. Grateful I am still able to do what I want (well, most of it)

Come what may 2012. It may or may not be the end of the world, haha, life still goes on until its realized. For me, who live each day to the fullest, Mayan’s prophecy doesn’t matter. whatever happen, happens

My Resolution for the coming year is to stay grateful for what I have, and be more forgiving towards others.

Year 2010 

Year 2009 

Year 2008

Year 2007

Year 2006

Feels just like any other day when you pass the mid two zero mark. If not for all my loving friends around me who kept asking me on where do i want to go for dinner? what do i want for my birthday, honestly, i had totally forgotten about it. The old me would have start plotting and planning few weeks prior, and ensure everything goes as plan, throwing a tantrum if not. Not that way anymore. For this year, it really does feel like any given day.

after so many years of awaiting his next tour to Asia, why must he skip Malaysia or Singapore? Or at least choose a place more accessible in Thailand like Bangkok?? Korat is filled with expats, yes, but it’s more than an hour drive away from Bangkok !

Worse part, i do not have anymore leave left  so unless he comes to me, i can’t possible go anywhere near him T____________T

4 years ago, I queued up in the middle of the night to get my hands on the final book. Has it been 4 years already, summer 2007?

A closure to Harry Potter Books and Movies after following it for more than 10 years!!

Followed by a fun night playing gasing – a game of cork and thread at starbucks -_-

What was it about that day that got us reliving our childhood?

Truth be told, this is just another one of my dumb blondes moment. Many a times, I wish I am not living in Malaysia. Due to many obvious facts but the urge are especially stronger when I’m browsing fashion blogs or sites like Asos. Certainly doesn’t really help in uplifting my mood when the thought of “I can’t freaking afford anything after conversion!!! “ creeps through my mind. Damn, i wish I’m still in UK so I can afford all those yummy stuff!!

Then it will make me think of the many dangerous “what IF”

What If I did stay on, will I still be working in the chinese takeaway getting fat and contented with such simple simple life ? Or I will be stuck at the chinese takeaway and sulking my life away?

What if I did stay on, and manage to land myself a decent job? Would my life be any different? I would be living in my own tiny flats, taking the tube/bus to work, hanging out in the many parks or nearby fountains munching on sandwiches and a beer on the other hand. Probably I would have more concert/music festival stubs pinned to my wall as well. Weekends away from the city, spend in another city. Summer vacation with big floppy hats and no judgmental looks. Bliss

OR

What if i did stay on, and got stab to death by the so many psycho in UK that we read about in dailymail? Tragic end for me.

To0 many “What If”  and it really doesn’t matter as I am here. In my room. in Malaysia. No more turning back except to ponder upon the happy times, and let my imagination have a run Can you imagine how cute my babies would be if my partner looks like Adam Levine, Ryan Gosling or Chris Evans? Just saying

So here’s to – places I will be in the future… that I will make sure its a good one 

If only i have some extra cash :( Every girl has got a weak point. Be it bag, accessories , shoes and it’s no secret i am a bag slut.

Classic earrings.

Chanel 2.55 – Timeless piece - definitely a keeper for life

Pretty Balenciaga GGH City-  when can i have you in my bag closet???

I came across Prada Saffiano Lux Tote while watching the bag collection youtube of Fuzkitties and totally love it. Another one of those who will survive through all season.

The Alexa – perfect for weekends or holiday

Lady Dior – probably in a more subtle color.

Fashion Statement Umbrella would be cool. and pointy enough to poke at people for fun!

Side braid messy bun!
