A very very appreciative 25th Birthday

It's gonna be my 25th soon.. but the memories of how I celebrated my 20th in my hostel room at Eusoff Hall seem so like yesterday...

This year, I feel very appreciative.. appreciative of all the people who love me, all the people who treat me really well, all the people whom I do not know, but contribute to my daily well being.. I've a new found respect for almost all people out there..

Since the start of this year, I've changed.. I've become very positive, and this is starting to reflect in my mood, my attitude towards life and my glowing skin!

No longer do I dread anything.. no more dreading workouts, no more dreading having to teach (in fact I look forward to the lessons), no more feeling greedy and lazy..I'd been feeling busy all week and it feels great, cos I feel important and I now cherish whatever free time I have now, even more..

Like the other day, I felt refreshed from a short workout and a 30 min sauna session.. and yesterday, I felt a glow from my 10km run... and today, the after glow remained in my skin.. all these little things make me really happy.. these simple things..

"Today" treated me well too! Although I was busy, rushing from job to job, I feel great about it.. Even at this moment, after a slight food poisoning from the chicken breast from Trav dear (my fault.. I din heat it up), I feel positive..and looking forward to tomorrow..

And the list of birthday blessings go on..

Thank you Mummy for the generous amount in the Birthday Ang Pow! (goes into Saving)

Thank you Godma for the also very generous Birthday Ang Pow (which I will return to her in a secret Chinese New Year Ang Pow)

Thank you Avina's granny for the thoughtful Ang Pow!!

Thank you Avina for the thotful gift!

And thank me!! For the clothes, shoes, bags... the birthday prezzies I bought myself throughout the year!! =)

And thank you to the people who have sent me birthday wishes on facebook!

Am so looking forward to my birthday tmr! And to Japan!!

Xoxoxo...

The very Optimistic 25th Birthday

It's not even a week to my 25th birthday on 17th January but I am looking forward to turning 25. Don't really understand why, but I am glad that I view it in such positive light..

The 1st 5 days of 2009 has been great and there has been an air of positivity and enthusiasm as I wake up each morning.. I have been waking up, looking forward to the things I have ahead of me for the day instead of dreading them and I'm really proud of it! Even when I know I have a long day ahead, I still feel great about it!

I realise I'm starting to change.. I woke up today feeling tired, but somthing in me just told me to head to the gym, even for just a short 30 mins..for the past 2 years, I would just lay in bed and be lazy.. and I Received a call for a shoot for Cleo Mag.. and I kinda dun understand why I rejected it.. perhaps I just felt compelled to be commited to my teaching schedule...
But looking back at these, I'm glad these changes are for the better..



Received 3 birthday gifts already... Am so thankful for all the love..
Prezzie 1 was from Daddy n Mummy, who bought me the trip to Japan for CNY..
Prezzie 2 and 3 was from Trav dear, who bought me a wallet and handbag..

He said it was a Bimbotic prezzie.. cos initally he was to buy me a new mattress.. cos mine was a lil spoilt.. but I refused...
Whatever the gift was, nvm.. cos I felt less guilty having spent his $ since he won some in the Sheng Siong show...

Xmas at the Zoo

The weather was perfect on Xmas day...and the animals at the zoo must have felt like superstars that day...

He poses so well...

Sooo cute!!! They just kept eating and eating... and eating...

why are they still so skinny???

The Billy goat!!! my daddy's friend...

The words seem ever so familiar..

Very very playful monkeys that tried to eat Trav's umbrella

The very very meek and shy mouse deer.. tiny and soo cute...and they are always discreetly trying to be not seen amongst the greenery

They made friends...

And these are her friends...

We have become regulars...

Trav and I have really become regulars at the Kids Kampong.. we love to feed the very very very hungry animals..

Especially the wabbits..

These rabbits behaved like they had no food for 10 days...when we got near their hutch, they immediately rushed up to us like little hungry ghosts..

They followed us frantically in the direction we walked each time..

I especially loved the little brown one at the right corner, with the white nose.. did he bleach his nose or sthg???

It's been a fulfilling 2008 and I welcome 2009 with even more!

I shall make 2009 an interesting, eventful, even more fulfilling year.. shall achieve what I failed to do so in 08.. am glad I've achieved almost all my goals for 08 and am aiming higher in 09..

08 was a year I started earning and saving more steadily...
08 was a year nEbO improved and soared greater heights, making us ready for even more in 2009...
08 was a year I choreographed my 1st fashion show..
08 was a year I played much better tennis.. and am ready to win in 2009..
08 was a year I met old friends..and I hope to meet more in 2009..
08 was a year I grew closer to Trav dear, and Daddy and Mummy..
08 was a year I achieved much more.. much more than in 07..and 09 will be a greater year ahead!
08 ended with me totally happy and energised for more in 2009..

This January will be a super exciting one...
My birthday on the 17th
Muscle War on the 17th
Hokkaido on 21st.. cant wait..
CNY...

This is one of the few trips the family is so excited about..everyone at home is talking about it long before we are heading there.. and we even have to attend a briefing session for the trip..

2009 will be a blast!

Xianglin gave me this cute lil schedule book for 09 today.. Wish I could have the kitten for real..

Am gonna aim to fill this book with lots of new experiences,with loads of events and activities, and loads of Movie Room bookings, loads of modelling clients' bookings and loads of tuition assignments!!

And the book comes with a Japan Subway Map..hah.. useful when I get there in Jan...

Shopping and shopping without buying

Did abit of shopping yesterday at Bugis Village.. Im getting cheapskate.. preferring to shop at fleas and markets for cheap stuff.. Its felt like I was in Thailand at Bugis Village.. the layout of the shops, the crowd, the pricing...

It felt quite good even tho it was a lil hard to look at the clothes in that crowd.. Im amazed at how I could walk thru the $10 clothes street and not buy anything at all!! Things were dirt cheap there.. my dress was $10.. bot it a few mths ago at $30..kimono tops at $10.. maxi dresses... kimono dresses... accessories... shoes...

Went to the Car boot Sale at ECP to take a look today... and again, I bought nothing! Amazing!
But there wasnt much anyway...

We havent had a photo taken together in months.. So I spontaneously whipped out my camera and snapped..

And these are Trav's and my Best friends.. TRav sleeps with Dumbo every night.. and talks to him too! And I sleep with lamb every night, and talk to her too!

Thank you all for loving me!

Xmas is coming and I'm starting to reminisce the days where the entire famliy wld gather and exchange prezzies.. and how every grandchild would get a box of rochers nicely wrapped up by my granny.. I miss her so... Watchin Little Nonya reminds me of her.. cos she was a Nonya..

I had been sick with a cough for almost a week.. and just 2 days ago, I receivced a sms from Daddy.. " U r coughing, see doctor to check n med.dont take 4 grnt.daddy don want anytng 4 hpn 2 u"

Given that he doesnt really know how to sms, and takes on average 15 mins to send out 1 sms, I was really touched.. This msg will stay in my hp for as long as it can...

And then, there is mummy.. who also cares for me in her own way... She forwards me emails about health "rumors" with titles like "Dont Eat XXX. It causes Cancer" and bla bla bla... and I also remember a sms a few mths back.. : "please eat more. U only eat fish everyday, no nutrients" hahah... MEOW....

And off course there is my love... He likes to say "not enough food", "eat not enough" when I am feeling unwell..

Just wanna say, I love u all.. My daddy, mummy,godma, godpa, and Trav deary..

I hate Stupid pple!!

A "manless" weekend at home

Feels weird having 3 women at home this weekend.. My mum, my aunt and myself.. Daddy is away at Genting, my half a man brother is away in HK

After Trav deary left my place, the whole house felt kinda wierd..like a lack of masculinity, or testosterone? haa... Or a lack of that sense of securty?? So I hide in my little room and wait to watch Miss World Festival live.. that's if I can keep myself awake..

I love watching pageants, since I had been in 2 before.. but I have lost hope watching the poor standard of our national pageants in the recent years.. its sad that our people just enjoy poking fun at the poor contestants..

Watched the junior national bodybuilding competition today.. I wasnt really used to looking at such small, scrawny men with abs tho..

Yesterday was Trav's Granny's funeral.. I wasnt at the funeral but that same morning, I dreamt of 4 numbers.. It was on a blanket at the funeral in my dreams.. I did not tell anyone but Trav dear.. dun wan the whole world to go buy the 4 numbers..too meaningless..The number didnt open today.. but Im sure His Granny would bless me in other ways.. but that $ wld help abit.. I wld donate some to the childrens home..

December had been a rather busy but fufiling month.. spent the whole of yesterday doing this and that, hurrying here and there.. no wonder I slept thru the alarm for tennis today..
