Last Friday of 2010 (NYE)

And with the last day of 2010, it seems almost obligatory to do a year's review and expectations for the new year.

I remember blogging on the last Wednesday of 2009. I was also on this bus. On the way to work. My most reflective quiet moment. That 35-40 mins bus ride on the expressway. I was always able to get a seat as I board at the 2nd bus stop from the interchange. :)

And before I continue to digress yet again, yup 2010. These are some of the highlights off my head:

1. Got married
2. Went to the United States of America ( Minnesota, Texas, Atlanta) for almost a month.
3. Road trip with Hanwen
4. Scaled Mountain Kinabalu: 4902 km I think. With my sister, brother, clara, may, Meryl
5. Went Tokyo for price negotiation with supplier.
6. Started dog photography- Junior & Nemo
7. Promotion at work.
8. Tried on my first bridal gown
9. Drove alone to outlet malls in Austin, Texas
10. Went tubing at lake, stayed in caravan!

I couldn't quite think of anything else so I have to stop listing.

Personal development wise, I don't find myself better this year. I would want to better improve on that . Tho, I think this is highly subjective and there are no quantifiable metrics involved.

Moving forward, I still have 2 major projects I can think of:

a) doing up our apartment! This alone is a huge project

b) sky -diving! ( my plan to complete before I'm 30 or lose my guts, which ever comes first)
my big plan to complete these 3 things before hitting 30: diving, mountain climbing, sky-diving!

c) our wedding.

d) save money!! This used to be my new year resolutions when I was a kid. This, along with love my family more with each day! Funny how I seem to put it behind as I grew older. Okay! :) time to put them back on!

That should sum up my year end thoughts and hopes for 2011.

Happy new year, hooey! May you grow wiser in 2011. Love and understand more.

Excitement seeing something for the first time!!

Yup, despite me taking on a rather last minute, rather nonchalant attitude towards this wedding preparation, I'm pleasantly surprised to know I'm looking forward to seeing my custom-made bridal gown!

Yes, I have not done much wedding planning posts, and I reckon if I don't start blogging at least on this importAnt milestone in every gal's life ( most girl's life), the next thing I know... It's over!

So yup, like a girl meeting a date for the first time, I'm smiling and excited to see what the designer has come up! Of cos, it's probably not fully complete but I am really looking forward to the visit to the bridal studio later! Not so much of planning the design of my evening gown tho.... Abit hopeless. Know not what I want. (spoken like yoda)


Tata!
