sweet: 2011 is a pretty smooth year, everything was quite alright for me. every one i love is in the pink of health, safe and sound. there isnt any major hiccups or incidents, everyone is pretty much the same. thus, i can say that my prayers have been answered, that is for all my love ones to be happy, safe & sound and be in the pink of health! :)
bitter: i lost my dearest ah gong at the very start of the year.
even though he has been gone since january, i never fail to miss him and wish that he is still around with us. i dreamt many times about him, some very vague, but some, i remember it so clearly, that it seemed so real. in the dreams, he was always healthy, always helping me, and always caring about me. maybe this is what he is busy with now, caring and looking out for all of us.
i know that death is a part of life, so i have to grow up, accept that fact, and carry on. i have done that this year, so does it mean that i have grown up? :)
_____________________________
work: work is still work.. 3.5 years into flying.. i sort of have gotten used to it. check in, check out. pack, unpack. take off, landing. all this is like a routine. a senior once said to me, job on board is like "same shit different day". which is damn true. because my work is like a factory routine job, if u know what i mean. getting about nonchalant about work, getting restless and bored. maybe its time for a new one soon? haha.
however, i still appreciate the friends that i made, the fun crew that i get, the sightseeing and shopping.. (not so much the former though), the off days in singapore, and of course the *ka-ching coming in.
oh wells, we shall see.
family: with ah gong not around, certain things are going haywire. but nevertheless, the Yong family will still stand as one. ah gong has instilled a very strong mindset in us, all families must be united and live harmoniously!
ah por has came back to our house to live with us, and i like it that way. with her around, the house is livelier. she is getting more and more forgetful, and always nagging at us. but i know her nagging is also out of concern n love. every time without fail, when i am taking a cab to work, she never fails to accompany me to wait for the cab at the void deck. she wants to see me off, and always asking me when i am back. :) i love her so much, just like how she loves me!!! hehehe.
love: from day 1, bf has been loving me more and taking better care of me every single passing day. what he has been doing for me since day 1, he still continues. and he is doing more and more sweet little things for me as days go by. i hope he will still continue even after 2 or 10 or even 30 years down the road. haha, i think he will, cos im always asking him questions like: "next time u will still do for me? next time u will still like that?".. this is to serve as reminders. hahahaha.
we are still seeing each other every single day when im in sg, and still, we are looking forward to it. phonecalls and bbms are on daily basis, even if im overseas! nowadays we do not bicker over small stuffs anymore. of course, his silly irritating actions and words still continue but i have grown to ignore it, or have grown to counter attack it. hahaha! (evil voice: YOU WILL NEVER WIN ME...)
he never fails to pick me up from work, or send me to work when he is free. always picking me up from home if we are going out, except when i ask him not to. always sending me home, even if its 2am in the morning. what else can i ask for?
hearts lots.

london has always been a great place, because i always have friends!
london with Wan Ting.
we were in summer clothes the 1st day, and it was raining and cold and windy like mad.
on day 2 we decided to wear thicker clothes, it was super sunny and hot.
WTF right.
london with my dearest carol, batchie pamela and irwin.
and also! london with my new made friend this year, Cordelia.
she is such a fun and out spoken girl! me likey likey. :D
all in all,
that sums up my 2011.
now for resolutions......
1) drink more water. AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN. i've been reminding myself. but sometimes i am just too busy. or i simply sleep too much that i dont really drink so much water.
OK I SHOULD DRINK MORE WATER IN 2012.
2) exercise. enough said.
3) save $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
4) do hair treatment once every 3 months. i should start taking good care of my hair now. i am v afraid that flying so often will make my hair drop very fast. :( i dont want to be botak.
5) be diligent in applying body cream, esp when im overseas. cold rash is not fun.
i think that sums up my 2011.
i have a new idea about my future career suddenly when i was showering that day.
maybe if i stop procrastinating i can get it started soon.
anyway,
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!
wish all my loved ones healthy, happy and lucky. :)
