Bye 2007, Welcome 2008

In less than 2 hours, yet another year would have just gone by as we welcome in a brand new year - 2008!

So here's wishing all a very Happy and Blessed New Year to come!

Reflecting back on the year that has just gone by, I truly think that 2007 has been different and challenging from all others - the usual ups and down, big changes in life and lots of adjustments to accomodate to... yet I do have alot to be thankful for.

Actually, I should really count my blessings. From graduating from Uni with good grades, finding an awesome new job almost immediately, being close to my family and friends again after being away for 3 years and just seeing changes for the better within me. For all these, I'm truly grateful.

I'm actually really excited and looking forward to the start of a brand new year. I really don't know what 2008 will bring, but all I know is that I intend to make the best out of it. Having no expectations is probably not the best description, but I kinda wanna take things as it comes... u know go with the flow. Yet of coz, I do have some goals that I have set for myself, like pursuing my masters in exercise physiology.

I'm not the kinda person that makes new years resolutions whenever a brand new yr is ushered in, coz most people just say it without any actions taken. However, I feel that there's this perosnal need within me that wants to make some changes this year, not for anyone, but myself. I really do hope I keep to my resolutions... I will definitely try! It's gonna be a challenge!

Here's looking back at the best of 2007:
  1. Graduating from University!
  2. Just being back HOME again with my family & friends
  3. Job hunting
  4. Being offered an awesome job (where I'm able to apply what I've learnt in uni) almost immediately after graduating
  5. Attending my first ever rock concert - Linkin Park live in Singapore!
  6. Taking part in my first ever Standard Chartered Marathon and finishing up my targeted timing, even though I only took on the 10Km route.
  7. My awesome week-long Cambodian Adventure with 2 other great friends.
  8. Owning my very first new pair of roller blades that I love so much!
  9. Just getting back to what I love doing - Dragon Boating and rowing @ Kallang.
  10. Being able to spend more time with my lil' sister and just being there for her - I love her to bits!
  11. Blitzkraft.... what more can I say! I love the team!

The list goes on... just posted it so that I'll be able to look back next time and remind myself that there's much to be thankful.

So bye to a great 2007... and I look forward to a even better 2008 to come!

Cambodia...Here We Come!

3 MORE DAYS TO MY CAMBODIAN GETAWAY!

Getting really excited now. I really need a getaway soon, somewhere out of this country to somewhere different for a change... Cambodia it is!

Min and Sharon will be going as well. That makes a really fun gang to hang out with. We've been meeting up, corresponding thru the trusty email and msn with regards to the planning of our trip iternary and stuff... that has already been fun to start with! Can't imagine how much nonsense, laughter and retardedness will go on during the trip!

We leave early Sunday morning and get back only a week later. Angkor Wat.... wait for us!

Will update more with pics and all when we get back! Meantime to the rest of u, happy christmas shopping and Merry Christmas!

Standard Chartered Marathon 2007


The annual Singapore Standard Chartered Marathon 2007 is back yet again! The difference this time... I actually took part! Yay!

Atmosphere was good and it was just something different to do over the weekend for a change.

Nevermind I only ran the 10km route, guess everyone has to start somewhere. Run time wise, I think I did relatively ok, not my best for sure, but still under my targeted end time. I'll be back next year, this time round, hopefully doing the half marathon.

Bogglific Fun


The latest craze to hit my gang of friends and myself! It's quite addictive I must admit. It gets pretty competitive when we play, seeing who can form the most number of words possible. A great way to improve and widen your spelling and vocabulary with heaps of 3 letter words you never knew even existed and would have hardly used in your everyday speach! What the heck...it'sgood fun, that's all that matters!
