Hello Everyone!!! How are you all? Hope that you had a great Christmas and New Year celebration. I sure did had a good time and this year was extra special because mom was here celebrating with us.
2011 has been a tough year for me mentally and emotionally… my first quarter was superbly hard on me… I remember this was the time where i felt like the whole world was against me, nothing goes my way, i was all alone and really was depressed. To add to the misery, we’ve lost our dear friend Philip. We never expected it and never would have thought he would end his life in such manner. Until now.. i still do miss him.. granted we are not super close, but losing someone in such way is never easy for anyone. Sigh.. R.I.P Philip… You are always in our dear heart.
2011,work wise- I learned that no matter how much someone tells you, we have to work as a team… there is no such thing in reality.. everyone is for their own.. it’s really dog eats dog world out there… i learned that in hard way too..sigh ( Again)
2011- Me and Hub traveled a lot .. First we went to Koh Sa mui for our honeymoon… heheh.. this is one fun, crazy adventure honeymoon for me… i got chase by a dog while riding on motorbike with Hubby, i got onto the craziest sea adventure ever in my life where i thought that was the end of my life…hahahahah… sat and drove on a go cart car for the first time and drove like a turtle and was laughing all the way like a mad woman.. i don’t know why i was laughing… “SOT”. Got on Elephant ride and was soaking wet after because it was raining like mad! Visited a mummified monk and found out that i loveeeeeeeeeeeee the BBQ ripe banana in Koh Sa Mui..SEDAAAAPPPPPP!!! I wish we have this in Malaysia…tapi malangnya tiada.
Second big trip we’ve made for year 2011 was to India, Bangalore. I never knew i would actually like India. It is sooooooooo different from what i thought it was.. in my mind, it would be dirty, beggars everywhere, hot and humid weather, traffic jam, full of insane honking on the street ( Like JKT) and i have to be very careful with the food…. but in reality, it was almost totally the opposite of what my mind thought it would be. Bangalore weather was superbly nice! It was chill and nice.. i could sleep without having to have aircon on at night..not that Dan’s aunt have one installed in the house.. i don’t remember me sweating like mad there..i didn’t see much street beggars ..traffic jam wasn’t as horrendous as KL…and the food…OMG!!! IT WASSSSSS SOOOOOOO YUMMY!!!! Like… seriously! Shopping was heaven there too! I love their Saree’s collection, ” “Aladin” pants, “aladin” shoes, fresh fruit juice, sugar cane juice…OMGGGGGGGG…… GAH! I would like to make another trip back to Bangalore and maybe if we have the moolah and panjang umur NEW DELHI… i want to visit Taj Mahal…another destination in my MUST visit list.
Oh yea i also climbed mount kinabalu! How can i forget that?!!!! It was an amazing experience for me..the journey up, the view..OMG so breathtaking! Hiking with hubby and working as team.. it definitely did brought us closer… the view from the peak.. seeing the sunrise..oh….i just can’t describe it… The night skies felt sooooo close to us.. ahhhh … sia sangat sangat suka and i felt in love with my hometown all over again for the gazillion time! And now, i can proudly call myself… A REAL SABAHAN! TEEHEEEE!!!
2011 – I got to spend more time with my mom, thanks to my hub. It was one of my wish to have mom stayed longer with us. She stayed with us for 2 months last year..:D so that was awesome! Had good laughter and shared stories with her.. i hope she had a good time and enjoyed the trip as much as i enjoyed her company for the past 2 months..
2011- I got fitter and better with my fitness but i still have long way to go… this is still a struggle for me.. cos there is time where i can be very lazy and demotivated. So 2012, i need to push through it… i know its impossible for me to reach 20% bodyfat and yet at the same time trying to be pregnant.. so my 2012 target would be.. just keep going to the gym at least 3 times a week and let the nature takes it course.
so 2011…take this post as my lapel pins for you ( CHEWAH!)…. so i bid you goodbye and thank you for all the adventures, heart aches, headache, sore body, good memories, good laughter, well learned lessons and experience that you brought for me… it is something that i will treasure and keep for the rest of my life..i definitely have learned and gained a lot from you!
TATA!
