not sure why i like to blog entry like this - its getting a bit dated.. and this year i am exceptionally enthusiastic about it, dunno why also - starting days before the last day. but i just like to see how much i have in the past year and am blessed that i have made through another year with God's grace =)
well.. before the clock strikes twelve and people starts to sing Burns' favorite song, i would like to reminisce on my lovely 2012. =)
realised i have quite a few FIRST in 2012.
the biggest first was...
i got married for the FIRST time and became mrs yeo!! hehehe..
was crazy and super busy with wedding preparations - sleeping like 4-5 hrs per day and dropping to 2-3hrs one month before the big day. but at the end of the day, i must say that i enjoy the process and enjoy even more being "queen". hahaha.. but i wasnt a bad queen okie.. i only bad to people who are naughty - keep calling to request/ask to be seated with whom and not with whom.. hey we are not playing musical chair okie! and i think you are super rude to request more than once without valid reasons.. sorry i digress.
i feel utterly blessed on wedding day. not just because i finally got married but because friends and family made time for it and showered us with generous gift and love. some even flew in just for the event - i am speechless. *tearing up.. thank you all for loving us so much. we are blessed to have you in our lives.
its really lovely to be married.. someone to wake up to.. and when i cant sleep, i just poke the person beside me to ask him to wake up and talk to me! wahahaha...
it was also the FIRST time i lived somewhere not in the east in sg.... ok that weak sauce.. but it was quite a huge move in my life so far and there was quite a bit of things to get used to.
one of which i still cannot really get used to is the time it takes to go work! my alarm rings at 0625 every morning and i will snooze for 10 more mins and get out of the house before 0715 to reach work before 0830. yah, have to reach BEFORE 0830 and i blame it on my cheena secondary school who taught me that "on time is late"!
princess' adorable niece had her FIRST birthday!
time flies.. remembering she was so small & tiny and suddenly she is walking, talking and running.. nowadays she follows me around the house curious about what i am doing and will keep calling me 三婶.. so cute and precious right! =)
and and and.. for the FIRST time in 10 years i had short hair!
work-in-progress - the end result was slightly shorter.
and i thought i looked like my sims character though.. lol
look the same?
many people keep telling me i very "brave" to cut my hair short but i think it takes more courage to see them falling out. =S
last photo of me and my tresses and princess the day before i cut my hair... =(
i went diving for the FIRST time!
FIRST time i was the wedding mcee!
i really almost had an heart-attack when i stood up there.. but after awhile i was having more fun than anything else.. =P
would i do it again? NO! but if for close friends then maybe. cus its really weird to stand up there give heartfelt speeches to the wedding couple if not close.. =S
went on a rendezvous the FIRST time with my scandal!
we secretly went to bkk.
i never tell the hubs, she never tell her friends.
we just told facebook.
we just told facebook.
went to climb the Gunung Lambak (in chinese its 南峇山) the FIRST time!
though its summit is only 510m above sea level, but,
as its chinese name suggest, its really very 难爬.
thanks to my personal local guide,
otherwise i would have fall to my death... =(
donate to the blood bank the FIRST time!
after talking about it for almost 6-7 years, i finally made it!
all thanks to TPS or else it would be another 6-7 years before it happen.

we bought a house for the FIRST time!
and luckily the world did not end on the 21/22 dec.. or i would have died homeless and wasted money which i could have used to go for a proper honeymoon.. =P
saw tong the FISRT time after we graduated!
went on a overseas trip with so many colleagues the FIRST time!

2012 was a great year.
i am thankful for all i am given - the needs, the wants, the family, the friends i have in my life.
in 2012, i have learnt and am still learning to keep the important people close to me..
and for those "friends" who thinks that you deserve help without even a proper "thanks!" just because i am your "friend", i have learnt to let go and
in 2012, i am being reminded to let go, be less demanding and let God take lead. everything will be done according to His will and in His time. :)

wish you all a happy new year! may the next be better than the last. =)
