Trying out QuickPress

Hello! My second brother updated my WordPress! I am trying out the new QuickPress now.

Went out with my Aussie friends today. So good to be seeing them again. And we watched Bolt. Rhino the hamster’s really cute!

Anyway, I am going to go shower and pack my stuff now. Leaving Perth for Singapore at 12am+.

Proper updates soon, promise.

My 2009 New Year’s Resolutions

1. Spend more time with family, pets and friends.

2. Lose 7kgs. Regular exercise.

3. Spend time volunteering. I am thinking of helping out in an orphanage.

4. Get organized and stop procrastinating.

5. Read the news everyday.

Last year’s resolutions were very similar and they worked out really well. 2008 is definitely a year to remember. I’ve learnt and achieved so much. 2009 will be another great year, I hope.

Things have been really busy lately, it seems as if I haven’t had much time for anything at all!

On the 28th, I was eating incredibly sweet and succulent mandarin oranges at the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (China); trying to pee, pack my laptop and some essentials at my KL house in less than 15 minutes; and had an extremely late dinner of chee cheong fun (rice noodle roll) back at my Perak house. All in one day.

And as if the above wasn’t tiring enough, the very next day, we went to Ipoh to visit some relatives/friends.

The next two days, we were busy getting new passports because we are going back to Perth on the 3rd to renew our permanent residency (PR). So I guess I am skipping my orientation on the 5th. Part of me is excited because I miss our house there and because I’ll be meeting my friends, but part of me is a little tired of all the packing and traveling.

On New Year’s Eve, we had a little party at our house organized by dad’s clerk-friend. It was a blast. I went to bed at 1am because I was so sleepy - to my own surprise (probably because of the Chivas Regal, haha!). I heard the party ended an hour later. Anyway, I wish all of you a Happy New Year 2009!

Maybe I’ve been pretty busy, but I definitely haven’t been as busy or as exhausted as my parents.

I actually found some time on the 30th to just sit by the pool of my Perak house and had a good chat with one of the kakaks while she was cleaning the pool. As it was getting late, the wind came in. It was blowing through the trees around the pool, clapping the leaves.

The picture above taken on the day shows small waves being created by the wind. For so long, I felt far off and deep in the middle of nature.

So if your life have been busy, hectic and crazed, take some time out to enjoy the simple pleasures that life offers. Relax!

To My Dad

“A lot of haze outside.”

“It’s very hazy.”

“Yeah, very hazelnut.”

:D - Told you it’s not funny.

Celebrating ‘08 Christmas in China

I am supposed to be sleeping, but I just finished chatting with my second brother - something we always do the night before travelling overseas. This time, we are going to Ancient China. I am going as a teenage girl and hoping to return as a master Kungfu Panda. I am hoping for a stress-free vacation with pretty Christmas and New Year decorations!

Speaking of Christmas, my family doesn’t really celebrate it. We just join in for the fun of it. Usually, we will spend Christmas Day overseas and it’s no different this year. But, I did something extra this year, something a little special. I actually went Christmas shopping, put some thoughts into what presents to buy, bought the presents, wrapped them myself, made my own special cards, and sent them over to Japan for my families. I think it went pretty well and hopefully, I can do this every Christmas. I am also thrilled to receive a package just a few days ago from Chika & family all the way from Hyogo, Japan! Thank you so much!

I have photos of the presents, but something is wrong with my WordPress. My second brother’s going to fix it soon…I hope. I am tired, let’s sleep.

(I won’t be blogging till the 29th of December, come back then or read my previous posts! I am saying this as if I am a popular blogger with many readers…=_=”!)
