Simplicity

Here’s a random thought:

It’s what you do that defines who you are.

OR

It’s who you are that defines what you do.

Well, I would go for the latter saying. But, that’s just me.

Congrats to my cousin for his wonderful marriage!

I am a simple girl. I do not know what things that I have done is classified as meaningful. But, I am thankful for all the experiences that I have went through in 2007, be it good or bad.

This year’s new year’s eve is a simple affair, just the way I like it. For the past 2 years, we have spent our new year’s eve overseas, counting down to the new year in foreign lands. This year, we are happy to spend this day in the place closest to our hearts - home.

Mr Poto and I had steamboat at home. It was delicious and delectable. Mr Poto is a wonderful chef. He is always able to whip out wonderful dishes. Thank you Mr Poto for always taking care of my physical well-being.

So here’s my new year resolutions for 2008.

1) Save money

2) Be happy and healthy

3) Be a happy bride

Simple. 3 is the magic number, my favourite number in fact! Happy 2008 to all! =)

Happy us in 2008! (first picture of our year)

P/S: Let’s work hard together Mr Poto to 12th December 2008!

It’s my once in 3 months weekend off and I spent my precious Sunday off feeling the blues. I have no idea why, and it’s definitely not PMS. Emotions just kept getting the better of me, and somehow, I feel stressed that I have not spent my precious weekend off meaningfully.

I know it’s not what you do that matters, but who you are with that matters. But when who you are with does not even makes you feel good, then how am I supposed to feel? The worse thing is when I know that I am feeling the blues and sucky about life, I still have to put up a smile at my cousin’s wedding later on.

The sky today is filled with half dark clouds and half white clouds. From my perspective today, all I can see is how the sky is dark and cloudy. It seems like a warning to me that a big storm is on its way. But Mr Poto sees otherwise. It’s just like the half-full or half-empty theory. I know it very well, but I really can’t help feeling the way I feel. I hope that I will feel better voicing out my feelings to him, but he reacted by shaking me up.

I am not fries, not meant to be shaken. I am a girl, your girl. When I am feeling down and my world is clouded with dark clouds, don’t shake me. I am just but a girl.

In less than 12 hours, I will be sitting on the plane….

Can’t wait to arrive in the land of Dim Sums! Woohoo!!!!

Time is a funny thing. When you know that you are running out of time, you seem to move through everything at a faster pace.

In just 2 days, I managed to look through 2 weeks of materials. In just one day, I managed to finish one year’s worth of junior materials. It’s amazing how one can become so much more efficient when he or she knows that time is running out.

Hence, should we know the end of our time to try to accomplish all the things we want to do before our time is up? Well, personally, I still think that we should take time to enjoy life.  As the 5 year old poem goes…there isn’t time, there isn’t time. Hence, let’s spend our time wisely, and take time to appreciate people and things around us!

One more week and I’ll be leaving on a jet plane! I’m so looking forward to our Hong Kong trip!!!!! And since it’s going to be a new year soon, hence, I’ve changed the blog theme to a new look. WoohOO!!

Kowloon, Kowloon Hong Kong, I love Hong Kong!

Shop and dine, shop and dine…..yippy!!!! =)

It has been 2 weeks, but I still remember how you proposed to me… The amazing experience cannot be mentioned in just using a few words. Just as the saying goes, a picture paints a thousand words. So, here’s a picture that will always be in my mind. It is you - Mr Poto, that made that day so special and wonderful. For everything you have done, thank you. I love you.

Well, yours truly learnt a lesson today: it takes courage to be vain.

As wedding bells seem to approach (I know there is around one more year to go), I just decided to be prudent (kiasu) and ordered my first pair of contact lens. Yes, 25 years of living and finally getting to this step. Call me slow, but I’ve always been listening to my mum since young, who said that contacts are not good for my eyes. Besides, I never thought that there will come a day where I will get married. I thought that my red spectacles can be good pals with my eyes forever and ever.

Anyway, today, I was introduced to the ‘wonderful’ world of invisible spectacles. Prior to collection, I have already prepared myself mentally that I would take a LONG LONG time to put my lens in. Luckily, I am on half-day leave today. Guess how long I took to place in both lens?????

…..

……

…………….

A good whole 2 hours! Can anyone beat my sloooooow timing? Somehow, my eyes just refuse to accept this new friend and kept blinking as soon as the lens came near my ‘virgin’ eyes. I lacked the courage to welcome this foreign body to the windows of my soul. Once both lens were in, I was feeling truly proud of myself (despite taking 2 hours to complete this ‘minor’ task).

Initially, it feels kinda weird to have on the contact lens. Slowly, I got more used to the feeling. Anyway, it took me around one hour to get out both lens when I got home. Oh my goodness right!?

Oh well, kudos to the millions of people who have joined the contacts lens family long ago. Hopefully, I can learn the ropes eventually. Till then, I shall just be contented to let my red eyes rest for tonight, and welcome back my red cute spectacles with open arms!
