May the spirit of sharing, giving, love and joy spread across the world!!!!
Experiences during this xmas period that makes me go “Awwww”:
~ Bus drivers dressing up as Santa, Reindeer, Elves just for charity
~ Random people giving out chocolate to kids
~ Christmas Carol in town, which donation made goes to charity
~ People dress in xmas costumes raising money for charity…
May your Christmas be a great one…everyone here is hoping that it will be a white one!
Turned 24 on the 28th of November! CRAZY!!!
This blog attempt is inspired by Kenny Sia with his birthday list of things he did. However I know that I don’t have 23 memorable things that I can list down for when I was 23…..Here goes….
1. Celebrated Christmas with amazing friends!!!!
Dressed-up and had an amazing party with gift exchange, two santa’s and a hell loads of laughter!
2. Welcomed the New Year with another PARTY…..
Ushered 2009 at a friends place with loads of drunks, wigs and a pool table that made the night a
very funny one….
3. Went to visit the Shoghi Effendi’s Resting Place, the guardian of the Baha'i Faith.
Went down to London with Ineke and Gillian and headed straight to Shoghi Effendi’s resting place.
It was kinda overwhelming and saying prayers there was very spiritual uplifting.
4. Attended the 41 Regional Conference in London
One out of 41 held around the world. Felt apart of something really big and intense! Realise that
Baha’is all around the world are up to the same thing….
5. Visited platform 9 3/4
On the way back from London to Newcastle. The famous platform at Kingscross station…
6. Sat the train from London to Newcastle for the first time (usually take the bus)
3 hours compared to an 8 hour journey on the bus….it was nice!
7. Bid Wen Ying farewell as she returns to Malaysia for good
The tears shed could fill up a bucket!!
8. Getting my first JOB
My first real job………Feels so different from studying!
9. Experience real heavy snow!!! not some petty stuff like before
Before, it was snow that wasn’t enough that once it hit the floor it would just melt, but this time we
could really make snow man and all! We even had a photoshoot! 
10.Getting my first pay including paying income taxes (feel so grown up)
Never thought the day would come when I have to actually pay income tax!
11. Bid May Chee farewell as she returns to Malaysia for good
Another bucket-load of tears shed! I miss her hugs!!!
12. Paid for my flight to Dubai…with my own hard-earned money…
Felt a little heartache when you see the money get deducted from your account….but….excited…..
13. Bid Lulu and Kitty farewell as they return back to Malaysia and HongKong respectively
The happy couple returns home…….kinda learnt how to control the tears better this time round!
Sorry no photo….:P
14. Attended the first cluster summer school
First cluster summer school in England, and I am proud to be part of it!
15. Moved house….from Heaton to Walker
Welcome to our humble abode….

First holiday out of my own pocket..although loads of subsidy from my sister….tsk tsk!!!!

22. Went to BSB concert
Fulfilled my childhood dream of seeing my favourite boyband live!
23. Sister and her kids visiting Newcastle….first real guest!
What an amazing way to celebrate my 23rd year on this earth???
Well..thats 23 things…i know they are not as great as Kenny Sia’s but heck…my life is good…and I should be grateful whatever happens and happened!!!!
Toast to a great 24!!!!
Had a week off work and my sister and kids were here for a short holiday! If you go to her blog…you’d see the whole account of the holiday…so I’m not going into details…I’ll keep mine short and sweet….
I was really excited when my sister decided to come for a visit… very unexpected and spontaneous visit! I was really excited to see her and the kids, although it wasn’t very long ago that I went to Dubai for a visit. It was also nice to have family over for my birthday weekend!
We’ve planned to go Edinburgh, Scotland since they had their Christmas festival there and it would be nice to experience something that the kids would not experience in Dubai. I personally haven’t been to Edinburgh, so it was all good!
