One of the person that I miss most in Malaysia is my niece Jia Wen and today is her 5th birthday!
I miss playing with her so much and just spending time with her!
Jia Wen,
Ee misses you very much and I hope that you’ll have fun this Chinese new year. Dancing Ah ma and Guitar Gong Gong is there too, so enjoy okay? You have grown so much since I came here and prettier every minute!LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!!
This is me playing blocks with her! Missing those times!!!
I know this is the second week of the New years and i know its a little late for resolutions. Maybe i should say that i have given mine a lot of thought!
Last years was to graduate and find a job after graduation.
Half of that was accomplished and the other one needs to be brought forward to this year.
My feelings towards graduating was awkward one. I definitely was happy that i was able to graduate, but other feelings also couldn’t be ignored. Feelings of being scared and uncertain was there, because I was scared that i was already at the end of my studies and should be now prepared to face the world of career (i know there is always a path of studies again, but not right now) and the uncertainty of how i was going to face it! Being a student all my life, and without much working (maybe none) in my life, I couldn’t imagine the working-life me. Kept thinking to myself what if I’m still to immature to go out and work? what if I suck at working and within the week i get fired just for being plain stupid? It really scared the shit out of me!
6 months have past since i graduated and slowly building the confidence to not worry too much of what I am going to fail at and try my best to just go for it and don’t be scared! i know that i will have the support and care from my family and friends to not let them down.
So, i guess the primary resolution for this year’s resolution:
1. GET A JOB!!!!!
There are definitely other resolutions like the usual loose weight, be a better person…but that is too common and something that is secondary to what is on the top of the list.
So, family and friends, do pray that I’ll get a job soon and that the UK’s declining economy will not deter me from having a positive attitude towards getting a job!
MUCH LOVE!! XOXO
It’s been a couple of days since I am came back from London and have been trying to settle down with all the hoo-ha of the christmas and new year celebration. I guess I will just start of with some photos what happened the week before we ushered in the new year. There was the Christmas’ eve party, then came Stella’s birthday and then New year’s eve party. Everything happened so fast that only photos allowed us to sit and cherish every moment that happened!
That’s like 10% of the photos of the X’mas eve dinner and it definitely was a fun party! We were lucky enough to have 2 santas present at our party and they were definitely 2 jolly santas that manage to entertain all of us! and as always, our parties then to have post-party thing with all the leftovers on Xmas day where we had food and a round of the game Mafia, which have been the “in” thing whenever we get together!
Next came Stella’s birthday. It was a rush party since we were already planning for the Christmas party but everything went on well!
Since Stella missed home and Malaysia so much, we themed the party around being Malaysian, a few of us dressed in baju kurung and we even had our very own Mat Rempit, all decked-out with a helmet too! Hokkien char was the main dish and that definitely made it all the more Malaysian. It was so much fun and we didn’t even miss out a few rounds of Mafia. We also played a different version of chinese whispers and it was hilarious ( look at what wenying and stella trying to do there at the last couple photos). It was also an emotional party when Stella cried after we made a scrap book of photos from her family wishing her Happy Birthday. With all that emotion, the party was definitely worth it!
The next day was already New year’s eve and we headed over to Shean’s place for a small party. The usual crowd with amazing music made it so much fun and funny. After looking back at the photos, it was truly a memorable one and a great way to usher in the year of the Ox (which is my year)
We even had the special appearance of Miss Christine and it was sooo funny. playing with the wigs were hilarious. and i must say i think i kinda look good in the afro! Songs from the 90s and before were played to bring back memories and to sing-a-long and dance to! It was so much fun that the party ended only at 5am with a couple of very drunk people. They were funny and funnier when we told them what happened the next day with no such memory of things happening!
Amazing week it was and on the 2nd, I was on my way to London, which will be in another post i suppose being that this post is already super-duper LONG!!! Hope you guys enjoyed the photos as much as I do……funny funny!!
Hugs and Happy New Year! May this year be everything you hope it to be! God Bless and much love!!
