Things to do before I marry

I've been thinking a lot about the things I would really want to do before I die, or before I settle down to become a good wife and mother, IF I do marry. Lol. Turning 21 this year, regrets in life is no longer an option. So, I actually came up with a list for myself:

1. Tour in Europe.  Like seriously, how can you resist?
2. Visit Tomorrowland, Belgium. If you haven't already know what it is, click here. I'm easily hyped up.
3. Go for invisalign treatment. I don't have perfectly straight teeth and I hate braces.
4. Lasik eye surgery. I'm tired of wearing contact lenses and glasses.
5. Graduate from university on time, with honors. This is pretty serious stuff.
6. Get a decent-paying job so I can do those things stated above. Hah intense.
7. Learn how to swim. Ok this is embarrassing.

These are only things that I can think of up to date. There may be more as I grow older. Guess the only way for me to achieve those are to pray hard and of course, work hard. Nobody's gonna help me out if I don't help myself. ;)

So do you have dreams yourself? Well stop dreaming, do it! :))

Back to reality. I'm heading to KL tomorrow for MyLDS, an AIESEC conference. It's a little dreadful to stay in KL for two whole weeks, but on the bright side, I am looking forward to the conference. :)

Oh wells, I'll really miss Kuching and the people in it. Til then, bye :)

Post-CNY Syndrome

I do apologize for my 4-month disappearance, but I think nobody cares anyway. Nyways, I am only left with a week to enjoy my last few moments of Kuching, and it always makes my heart twitch a little when this crosses my mind.

Chinese New Year this year, I have to admit, is by far the best one that I've had my entire life. With a little spicing up with my brother's wedding, it is without doubt, truely amazing. I had an incredible time attending big family gatherings and having conversations with cousins that I never really talked to. Sometimes I deem myself to be really dumb, for trying to disconnect with my dear cousins as much as I could, which I still don't really know why I did.

Besides meeting family members, I had a really great time catching-up with my friends. This year, I actually realize that I've grown apart from them, which is a pity. There was one time that I even tried to distance myself, and then blame them for trying to isolate me. I honestly don't really know what was happening to me. Was it PMS? Or just paranoia? Well, whatever it is, it has got to stop like seriously. So, I took Chinese New Year as a time to reconnect with them since they were all home for the celebration. I even took the first step to invite myself to a really close friend's house so I could have a little bonding session with her, and I found out how much that I've missed.

I've actually come to realize the many flaws that I have, and I would definitely like to make a change, for myself and for the people around me. Sometimes you just have to stop worrying and start taking chances and risks. It is always better to say "what-if" now than to say "what-if" when you age. This celebration had taught me so many things, and I can say that I've grown up a little, spiritually.


My family photo! Well, we're all looking at another camera :(

Me, my brother, new sister-in-law and my two dear cousins. Had a wonderful chat with them.

Of course, the lovely gang. :)

The little chicken is about to evolve into a dinosaur, better watch out! 

Toodles, and all the best to your future endeavours, all of you.  Cheers! :)))
