29

Oh fuck, did I just turn 29? I still don't believe it or feel like I'm 29!

I felt that I achieve nothing at this age... Still stuck at junior posts, savings less than expected yet I'm heading Europe this April, no special achievements to boost both my personal and professional life.

However, I know I'm still good, but a super big room for improvement.

Time to check those 2012 resolutions

• Aim to reach 60kg by 31 Dec 2012. =) 
• Was very lazy in the last half of the year, plus stayed at home for 3 months, I gained back 3 kgs. All is good, I'm aiming 60kg for this year end, and it's just 8 more kgs to go! Jiayou!
• Must show my power in new job!!! Do not be a meek anymore. 
• In another new job, still a meek, plus sleeper. -_-||| Can't help it when I dozed off, maybe it's really EDS? Just seemed to be very unfocused..
• Maintain this blog with a least a post every week. 
• Once a month more likely, bleahz!
• Love more, hate less Be good to everyone, be thankful 
• Definitely less grumpy
• No more new bags or shoes till it's doomed. 
• Hmm.... Threw 2 shoes, bought 2 shoes this year. So I guess I'm sticking to it.
• No more beauty products or cosmetics unless it's finished. 
• This is on track, though I purchased more mody products now... but they ran out pretty fast
• GET A BOYFRIEND!!!
• Stay single is easier

On my goals...

• Start the Business. Reina B. 
• Started an online flea... needs promoting...
• Get JLPT4 or Makeup Cert or HP-UX II cert 
• More interested in the Makeup Cert, plan to take this year
• Complete 21km Sundown in 3.5hrs!!! 
• I did! And For GE Women's run, I completed in 3h 15mins! Woohoo! Next is 2.5 hrs!
• Save at least $100 per month for rainy days.
• Managed to save, but less than that...

Gotta think what I really want to do for 2013! I shall not succumb to midlife crisis! I survived marathons! I can survive other things!

Had a mini celebration on 27th Sunday, food was good as always! Sec friends came over, so it was a lot of reminiscence. The older I got, the less I like Birthday Song. So malu!

Anyhow, Miss Kim sang it to me earlier, and we had a slice of cheesecake as bday cake, and straws as candles. We are good at improvising!

Today at work was screwed up, as usual. Maybe I'm really not into IT anymore? Not very sure what I really like or want to do... IT seems convenient for me... Really need to think about it seriously....

I realised I no longer cry on the spot after each "talk". Can't help but wonder if there;s really a screw loose somewhere in my head???

Haiz... Can I grow old without worries?

Happy New Year 2013!

Well, it wasn't so happy for my though. My grandfather passed away on the 2nd. On the 1st Jan, the nurses at TTSH celebrated his birthday for him, which was possibly the only birthday celebration he ever had. I don't remember the adults making a big fuss when he was 60, 70, 80 and 90. =(

Mum was nudging us to visit him on 1st Jan, but we were all tired after paying respects to grandmother in the morning, especially me who hadn't had sleep yet.

And the bomb dropped while we were all at work on the 2nd.

Most of us took compassionate leave to help whatever we could. Folding the ingots, burning the incense paper, taking the graveyard shift.

It was a 5 days wake... So most of the grandchildren dropped by after work, I took the night shift and would go home to wash up, sleep a bit, do some housework before going down again. Had time for a bit of gym too.

On Sunday, he was cremated in Mandai Crematorium. We had 2 coach, one is for the family, and the other one for the relatives. My mum forgot me and I hitch ride on the relatives' coach, thank goodness for my auntie who saw me standing outside, blur like sotong.

After the wake, life is back to normal... but deep down, we all wished we had visited him on 1st Jan.
