My 2014

2014 was a year of travel so I was happy. 
Work was challenging as always but I got a work recognition award & my promotion eventually. At the end of the year, I decided to change my working style in the new year and treat myself better. I really need a work life balance and I'm determined to make it happen. 

So here's looking at 2014...

January - celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary, still childless. 

January - work trip in Hanoi.

February - my favourite festive season, Chinese New Year. 

March - first workout of the year with the girls - cycling + badminton. 

April - granny's 79th birthday. Don't know why she always look so troubled...

May - Resurrection Asia Tour. 
With only a month to plan, this was tougher than Pawn Stars' Asia Tour. Luckily we had the contacts, planning was easier and faster. It helped that they were very nice to work with.

Family trip to River Safari and met Jia Jia & Kai Kai.

June - my 31st. 

July - a rather impromptu trip to London & Paris! 

August - one of the gatherings. We meet up more these days. Friendship doesn't happen overnight & requires maintenance. 

September - leading the biggest campaign to date. 

F1 & MayDay concert with the brother. 

October - across the causeway we went for an event & finally to an ex colleague's MANSION.

THE trip, enough said. First to New York!

Next to meet the Okauchis in Toronto.

And final stop in San Francisco. 

Rushed back just in time for the good friend's wedding. 

And it was December, everyone's favourite month.
Was very lucky at the company's Christmas party. Voted the office's fashionista & received a Sephora $20 voucher, won a iPad mini 3 and two team prizes of S$3000 cash for the pitch competition - best idea for ad sales & overall best team. It has to be a good year right?

Flew off to Taiwan the day after Christmas party with the folks. First trip just us 3 and I think it was fine. Except we were car sick after Shi Fen tour and my dad had it the worst. 

And that one last trip to end the year. 

I'm so thankful for the numerous personal trips I made last year and although there are no plans this year, I hope there are bigger and better things in store for us. Most importantly, may we all be well, happy and at peace.

Life

What's the real meaning of life? People always say that when one's life is lived to the fullest, there shouldn't be much regrets. Do you agree? I don't quite agree. Perhaps I'm greedy or somewhat naive. I believe you need to have lived supposedly long enough to have led a fulfilling life. To be able to experience the things you want to do, to have misses and gains, to be sad and happy, to have dealt with pain and losses, to have struggled and to have done so much more. And these would require at least 60 to 70 years, no? Of course, there are always those who have lived beyond those ages and still behave like a child or have led a meaningless life. And of course, there are those fortunate ones who would have achieved more than others at an earlier age. Indeed, age is a number and shouldn't determine one's life. So really, how do you define life? How do you deal with the losses? And I'm talking about losing your loved ones, losing faith, hope, love....

Never Thought Of

I never thought I'd be sitting there saying those things. How does it feel to be the other woman or man? I was shocked. Disappointed. Angry. I guess the truth is always more difficult to accept when you least expected it. Why & how did it turn out this way? I've watched so much TV yet didn't realise some episodes are for real. I don't have to watch the last episode to know what's the ending like. Good luck. What will you do if you realise you're pregnant after you end a relationship/marriage? Will you a) be a single mum b) try to work things out with your ex bf/husband for the sake of the baby c) abort the baby and keep mum about the matter I'll most likely go for (c). There's no right or wrong option isn't it?

Priceless

One of the best times are those spent with the two little cuties. They really made my day and melt my heart so often than not. Watching you two grow up is really a joy although it must be painful at times for those who literally brought you up, ha. We may selfishly wish the kids never grow up and stay at this 'bite-size' but we do want them to be well, don't we? Thank you both for brightening up my days, cheering me up unknowingly when I'm down and making me happier when I'm already having a blast.
