The heart that never stops believing

I’m so glad that 2011 happened and is over. Though the new year is something everyone mark off as a new beginning and logically speaking, everything’s still the same except the date of year, i’m still embracing it and looking forward for what is to come. :) and because its a new year and (i have nothing else to do), i’m uploading the happenings for the last month of 2011. 

Celebrating Stella’s birthday at her place with all her loved ones. a lot of SKKU peeps missing. =p

my favourite girls! :) in celebration of my birthday. 

A 2012 schedule book and H&M voucher from my ladies. what more could i ask for? thanks babes! <3 

beloved Manho, simpsons’ mayor and myself in winter wear (finally!) & my mom’s gift (LongChamp bag which i didnt know why she bought one for me cause i’m not in love with it but appreciate the love from her). Loved the time with him though we didnt spend a lot of time together due to his exams. =,( missing Man Ho already! Hopefully i’m going back to Hong Kong this year or the next. ;) 

Xmas celebration with SKKU babes! FYI: SKKU refers to a Korean University which we studied together last summer. Again, loved the time not the food. =p 

no whatsoever reason for this picture but behold the straight teeth i have in here! I feel its a calling for me to do braces this year. no? ;) 

Birthday celebration with fellow 1988 babe on NYE. ;) thanks for the surprise, presents and cake my beloved LG. <3

Not the nicest picture due to all the food on the table and well, hello my bag! But proud to say that i spent NYE with my LG! its a great bonding time with no squeezing with the crowd etc. 

So there, im done with 2011 and moving forward. :) Indeed there were a lot of key moments, sadness, fear, happiness but i’m putting them aside and getting ready for 2012! My focus of the year is to get a job. =x keep me in your prayers people! Hope your New Year’s celebration was a good one as well. Cheers! ;) 

and we’ll always remember her for beauty, fashion and class. 

love how she pulled everything together so casually. 

Back from the last trip of the year and i think it is one of the most amazing journeys i’ve been thus far. Within half of this year i’ve already been to 5 countries and though i may be a little in lack of cash now, im never regretting a single moment. I may have gotten a job and working my butt off till i retire but nah, i’d rather have been on the travelling journey. 

Hong Kong may be a land for eating and shopping, and i had my fair share of some of it but i gotten a deeper experience than all of that. I must say i’ve never felt this way for such a long time and amazingly from a group of strangers i barely even know. Through which it occurred to me that love goes beyond any race, language and even time. The warmth that came from an english birthday song, sincere smiles and simple cake just blows me away. I just felt belonged and loved by a big family that I never really had but deep inside craved so badly for. 

This coming christmas and new year’s seem to me that it would be more different than my other years. A lil quieter but still embracing the full spirit of it. I’ve received more than I expected/deserve during the month of December and I am so grateful for all the people in my life. Indeed it is when we grow a little older and busier that we see who are the ones that stick by us. :) 

Merry Xmas everyone! <3

sorry for the ultra gigantic picture to start out the post. Its to let you know im still pumping and alive with a heart full of excitement for this month and the coming year. 

Though its not year end yet and im not supposed to be all teary, doing resolutions and such, i looked at this year and heave a sigh of relieve that im still living. So much drama has happened yet God has pulled me through anyway. This year marked a year of letting go and fostering other relationships in my life. Its full of tears (that i can drown a river), anxiety, discovery and much laughter as well. 

Im just amazed at my tolerance level, how angry i can get, how far i’m willing to go to make a point, how i love loneliness more yet at the same time thirst for company, how distracted i can get and distant i can get from a loved one. well, but now that another year will be over (and my birthday is drawing nearer), i hope these discoveries wont end here but i’ll continually work on it. 

I love how December has this very festive mood upon everyone and everywhere, its really contagious. The month is always filled with parties, cards & presents, good food and most importantly, gathering with loved ones to celebrate the jolly season and the coming end of year. Hoping to update this space about this December! Cheers to a joyful time everyone! :D 

i think more often than not, we’re seeking for something so simple. not money or fame but for a sense of belonging, acceptance and love. sometimes we make things sound so complicating when it can just be so simple. God said, love your neighbour as yourself. Man have only but one wife and vice versa. anything that is righteous and good, think and do such things. 

the moment when greed, lust and lies win us over, we’re sinking into quick sand that comes with consequences we cant bear and affects loved ones around us. i find myself fighting an internal battle within myself everyday, struggling to make sense of things and people. at times caught in a dilemma myself too. 

God made relationships to last. couples meaning what they say when they utter the words “till death do us part”, when friends hook their pinkies and promise that “we’re friends forever”, when parents hold their child and preparing to devote their entire lives to raise them up no matter how tough it can be. 

even though its so common to see divorces, broken friendships and abandoned children, shouldnt it still break our hearts when we encounter or see such? 

enough said. time to love and appreciate people around.
