IT&#8217;S HERE!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>life is really and indeed not a bed of roses<\/p>\n<p>2011 had been a year filled with ups and downs ( once again) You know.. . When all is well, something may just pop up.. I guess that&#8217;s when we learn.. and how we grow stronger.<\/p>\n<p>2011 is the year I lost someone really dear to me, my grandpa. Just the thought of it makes me tear &#8211; he passed away on the very day I left SG. I know he is probably enjoying himself in a better place now &#8211; still&#8230; it upsets me that I&#8217;m not there \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>2011 is also a year that we finally got our HDB. If there is a reason why I am saving money\/working hard.. it&#8217;s because of my home. I always thought and wanted my home to be perfect. Nice furniture and renovation. I was quite upset that all these things had to be compromised &#8211; for the greater good. I really hope that I will be able to achieve my dream home in the near future<\/p>\n<p>2011 marks the year that we made the MOST friends ever since we first relocated here. haha.. we had been really contented with just the 2 of us that making more friends isn&#8217;t part of the plan. Then again, by a stroke of luck, we participated in a SG gathering ( our first in 3 yrs btw) and we met friends who intro us to even more friends. It&#8217;s nice to have friends to hang out and to share our food with \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>2011 also made me a good cook. I think I really enjoy cooking. I can look for recipes and get really excited to cook something new! I am embarrassed to admit it but cooking is fun! heh.. I do wish that what I like to do is something that would mk me rich in terms of wealth, rather than .. erm.. FATS?<\/p>\n<p>2011 is also the year that I got my first CHANEL BAG! \ud83d\ude42 I must thank you BH for his generosity! I feel very blessed to have a great hubby who is willing to spend $ on me.. haha..<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net\/hphotos-ak-ash4\/297589_10150276765072799_664092798_8003148_7597287_n.jpg\" alt=\"Chanel WOC\" width=\"288\" height=\"384\" \/><\/p>\n<p>2011 marks the first time I visited a doc here!! It is a bad year for me in terms of health. sigh&#8230; I went to the doc countless of times. Health is wealth! I also extracted 2 of my wisdom tooth ( the other 2 will be extracted this year)<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nI am looking forward to 2012!! I&#8217;m also scared&#8230; but&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t wait to be FREE ( out of my bond)!! I was telling BH that on the day I get my FREEDOM, I will&#8230;.. BAKE A CHEESECAKE! Yes&#8230; life is just so plain simple and sweet. Trust me.. it&#8217;s not the money! The road to freedom may not be ez&#8230; \ud83d\ude41 I may or may not succeed.<\/p>\n<p>I also wish for GOOD HEALTH&#8230; Health is very important!!!<\/p>\n<p>I hope that we could get a dog we both like too &#8211; it will be perfect if it&#8217;s a rescue \ud83d\ude42 It&#8217;s nice to have something we both love and can come home too ( nah.. not a human baby!!)<\/p>\n<p>Another wish is to travel MORE! I realised that we haven&#8217;t been traveling much because we are saving $. I hope 2012 will be a better year for us financially??!! haha&#8230; I know it&#8217;s weird&#8230; we will probably be quite broke..but at least the money we earned is for our enjoyment and not to save up for other purpose!!oh&#8230; I also can&#8217;t wait for our Europe trip in April!!! OMG!!! Trip of a lifetime!! I also want to go to Disneyworld during Christmas!!!<\/p>\n<p>and.. come April 2012 will also mean that BH and I had been together for *drumroll* 10 years!!! \ud83d\ude00 can&#8217;t believe it right!! heh.. I hope we will have many many more years together!<\/p>\n<p>erm.. I think that&#8217;s all I can think of for now.. haha &#8230; HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!!! and&#8230; Do take care and be happy! There&#8217;s nothing more important than being happy \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>life is really and indeed not a bed of roses 2011 had been a year filled with ups and downs ( once again) You know.. .
