We have extremely busy the past couple of weeks leading up to the year end. FOr one thing, we plan on renovating our house a little bit. We’ve never done much to our house ever since we moved in more than 6 years ago, and we figured  now is probably a good time to be doing something. As a result, we have been busy firstly, deciding what we want to do. Not easy because of space constraints. Besides, we don’t plan to do too much seeing as how we want to live in a home and not in a show-house. Plus the fact that the hubby and I, we’re both sentimental freaks — there are just way too many stuff we want to keep. But, no we don’t want to go down the hoarder road so we have been careful.

Apart from that – I say this every year – I have a personal goal I intend on achieving. It’s funny for someone who doesn’t work to have a ‘goal’ but yeah, I do. It’s weird I know but in all fairness, my intentions are good. I will have to make sure that it happens next year. At least, I want it to happen.

2012 will no doubt be another crazy busy year for us. Not only for me, but for the rest of us in the family. We don’t know where the road will take us but we are hopeful that the path will be filled with adventure.

SO, have a great and fabulous Christmas in the meantime. An exciting new year awaits..:-D

But, I still love them shoes. I can never get enough of them. The only problem is, I don’t get to wear them often enough for me to go get some of them. And, I love heels too. And yes, where am I going to wear them to?? **sigh**

OK, I am sure you probably have had many ‘a time of your life” but last couple of days for me have been a blast. I will tell you that there were fits of laughter, tears of joy as if we were a bunch of Casablanca fans. I have never had such fun since…since…I was 16 heheh..

I am so so tired. Out of the group, i’m probably the least fit. I should begin running like the rest.

Maybe I’ll start tomorrow. Oh wait — let me start later in the week. Lazy bum!! LOL..Who am I kidding? I won’t even last out the drive-way!!

Anyways, we have been mostly shopping the past few days. I am happy with my haul. Put it on credit and worry later. Shop now, worry later. For myself, I only managed a top. My most expensive item has got to be a Morrison hand/luggage bag. It’s really pretty, I simply couldn’t resist. I know I will certainly suffer when I get home — with all the debts and all. Oh well, think later.

Bought some stuff for the home and clothes for the kids. I think they’ll be really happy with what we have got them. The weather’s been great to us and we definitely cannot ask for more.

She has given me one of each. Yep, she wastes no time in making them. COme to think of it, there is no time to waste actually because we only have less than 3 weeks to go before D-day. So, not only will there be tons of things to do, there’ll be plenty of things in the house that needs cleaning up. Again, I am only speaking for myself..again..:-).

It’s no wonder why adults aren’t fans of festivities. No seriously, they appear to be more fun for kids. I know that when I was a kid, I used to love CNY because of the new clothes, ang-pows and whatnots. The glorious cookies and unhealthy carbonated drinks. It’s a good thing too that I don’t have the “large” genes because of the variety that my grandmother prepares. Till today, I am totally amazed by the sheer effort my grandma puts in during CNY. Cooking for us. and the dishes involved. My hubby is one lucky man to have a taste of her cooking since being married to me. No others that were so lucky..heheh . Plus, he should thank his lucky stars that he too has the skinnies and does not need a male fat burner after consuming such foodies.

Now that she’s hung up her apron and handed the baton over to my uncle and aunty, I do miss her cooking. No doubt she’s still the ultimate food critique and mentor to them but…I don’t know – something is still missing.
