Another Year, another age, another number, another tear, another joy..
Lessons I've learnt about myself this year. Coming to the close of 2011, it is often a time for one to reflect on the past year - the good and bad, and draw on the lessons we have learnt in order to step into 2012 as a stronger person. Let me share mine with you...
1. Appreciate your loved ones - make them number 1
In our busy lives, sometimes family and friends take second place unfortunately. We are all so caught up in our "to do" lists and the pressure of society.... Got to finish this work assignment, send this email, check facebook account, make money, that we forget to treasure those close to us.
Be appreciative of life and those around you. Let your loved ones know how much they mean to you. Don't leave it to late, or until something happens for you to see the love and support these people have given to you over the years. The love and support that only family can, without asking anything of you in return.
Stop for a moment this New Years Eve and breathe.
Appreciate life. Make your loved ones number 1 in your life.
2. Learn to Prioritise
There will always be that work to finish off, that email to send, that thing you had to do for a friend. Do you find yourself saying "If only I had X (insert - say more money) I can be happy.
Learn to prioritise your life and you will feel less stressed. Declutter your life, get rid of things off your list that are not that important to you. One less thing to do, means you can focus on whats really important to achieving your goals in 2012, like for example - running a marathon or writing a book.
3. Look after yourself & have some "me" time
A stressed and unhappy self does NOT make a good friend, boy/girlfriend, brother/sister, wife/husband. Look after yourself, eat well, exercise and de-stress. Having some time to yourself away from the pressures and expectations of society helps.
Try it for yourself. Allow yourself an hour every week "me time" with yourself, to do what it is you enjoy doing. You will feel more refreshed, and ready to take on the world!
What have you learnt about yourself this year? Email me or make a comment!
Happy New Year! Cheers to a rocking 2012!!

Tick Tocky, Are you ready to go pawning?
Nice advertorial, What message does it exhibit in promoting does one renounce everything from your ex-lover, drop excess baggage at the check-in counter at the airport. Time is love which are your fondest moments in a capsule and cannot be stopped or by hitting the rewind button. The hand will continue to raise forward as your relationship deepens but how does
time is love
time heals
or simply a clinging memory of watch
or an obssesed guy keeping things
Time is suppose to heal all wounds but raises how much time? All i probably understand is time will heal with maybe the purchase of this watch either way this will allow one to ponder and review solvil titus.

Is Char Keoy Teow dead?
Let us first highlight recipe of Char Koay Teow -
http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/cuisine/seafood/recipe/char-koay-teow-20111018-1lxo2.html
Reviewing the recipe it would allow all to be able to cook a Char Keoy Teow at home but when one needs to have a night out with thier taste buds to get the feel of crack, snap and pop, yeah you heard it before somewhere right.
As i move from hawker centre starting at the roots in search of essence of char keoy teow, i find the flavors eludes us as almost like seeking 4D numbers winning ticket. Char Keoy Teow are you RIP? As i taste each char keoy teow dish i feel like a judge to a beauty contest pageant with all those aspects being scored for presentation, poise, elegance of the dish. The final scoring panel being my stomach, keke... ;-)
Why the heartache and stomach juices getting into spin cyle? As SG move towards more modernised food courts with air conditioning and piles of hawker centre owners slowly retiring with no skills transfer to suitable candidates to continue this art. As the government has acknowledge the skill and flavors is being lost. A program has been put in placed by government to educate certain grass roots foods we have been accustomed too. Will it be enough, Can it bring back those memories of Char Keoy Teow heaven?
As to those who have tasted a good char keoy teow, you will relate to how this is such a important issue with the flavors almost providing those warmly gathering and conversations with a nice tea to marry the food dish.
Have you got a great char keoy teow place to share, do you feel the crisis of char keoy teow occuring? Char Keoy Teow first what next...

Discover a Swarovski Xmas Tree, QVB Building - Sydney Australia
In keeping with my xmas tree theme, here is a look of what its like in Sydney, Australia at the gorgeous Queen Victoria Building (QVB). A historic bulding that has been beautifully restored and houses internaional fashion stores and chic cafes.
A 24 metre high xmas tree, glittering with beautiful sparkling 144,000 Swarovski crystals and 60,000 lights. Truly a magnificent sight. It stands a full 3 levels of the building, right in the middle of the bulding. So couldn't get a full picture.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Christmas @ Ion Orchard
Ion on Orchard is one of my favourite shopping hangouts in Singapore, with its mix of high end fashion stores and popular mainstream stores such as Forever 21 and Zara. This Christmas, xmas decorations don't disappoint. Loving the snow man decorations, gold christmas tree and elephants outside the main entrance.
Really such unique artist designs on the Elephant statues outsides, in support of the conservation of Asian Elephants. Tangs are also supporting the Elephant cause and you can pick up a minature one of a kind elephant at tangs store.

Yeh Yeh 42Km I walked 41 Km
Standard chartered marathon recently held in SG. How does one approach training?
As an observer of this years’ run themed "Run for a reason" "cheer for a reason", I ponder if those words alone will carry me in obtaining T-shirt Finisher 42.195Km or will "Eye of the Tiger" be enough reason to make it to the end.
This has inspired me to rise up to the challenge and get NYE 2012 resolution started in overdrive with a few less KFC, Teppanyakie, Pizza outings, nandos and char keoy teow turning me into a elite running machine, ok with that on stage 1, next stage the hard "Yakka" a Ozzie slang meaning hardwork with sweat and tears of some leg work running, those sweat and tears coming out as I prepare for the journey allowing my body to adjust to that kind of distance can only be seen as my body crying till next November.
Do i have the gas to keep NYE 2012 resolution burning with same ferociousness from the beginning remains to be seen as every journey does begin with a small step but 42kms's how many small steps will that equate to? Will one feel accomplished when i reach finisher line 42.195km?, I think maybe so, as i see supporters holding out a hand placard " You can do it" at this year's run. Cheering in unity for all strangers coming across. Let me answer those little voices when i get to finisher line in 2012.
It certainly gets my positive energy going into 2012 as i set this to be my NYE resolution even though i have never done a marathon and would never think of doing one, but this year's standard chartered theme has lit the "eye of the tiger" within.
What is your NYE's resolution for 2012 ? Ready for the run into 2012...?
