Pieces Of Me (Year 2012, the conclusion)

Hi again.. :)

It turns out my spirit to write burns much brighter in 2013. I hope I will always have the same spirit to write throughout the year. You know how it all starts in every new year. It's time for making resolutions!! *big yawn*

Let's be honest, no one likes resolutions. Well at first it's going to be really fun but by the end of the year it's going to be a list from hell that you can't seem to fulfill. Or maybe it's just me who made unrealistic and unachievable resolutions.

Anyhow, before I complain and rant on about what my goals are in 2013, I want to just reflect everything that has happened in 2012:

• January: I was in Macau on New Year's Eve. I was still devastated over my breaking up with Luke and I was really, really sick I couldn't enjoy my holiday. And then my grandpa passed away. I must say it certainly wasn't the best way to start the year. Little did I know that my sister was already about two weeks pregnant. Well, little did everyone know. And honestly, I'm glad to know now that something good happened around that time. :)

• February: Still heart-broken. And it was the time of the year where everybody celebrated 'love'. It sucked. LOL. Went to Singapore for six weeks with my sister and it was a great escape for us! We went shopping, trying good food, visiting the orchid garden. I think my heart was healing - slowly - around this time.

• March: Back to hometown. Was struggling to get used to live there. Missing Sydney a lot! But then I hung out with new friends - my sister's friends actually - and things seemed to get better.

• April: I decided to start to go to gym. Tada! I won't say it's the best decision but I really needed to lose few kilos.

• May: Ok, I couldn't remember what happened on this month. I can't even remember where I was or what I did. I think I was just helping my parents with their works, going out with my friends, spending quality time with my laptop and with my parents as well.

• June: Time for holiday! Went to USA. Awesome!!

• July: Still awesome! Was in USA for the first two weeks of July. Nothing significant happened - even on my birthday! Got iPad for my birthday pressie though. The highlight of the month. Can't think of anything else other than playing with it. I abandoned both my macbook and iPod. OH! I also got an awesome present from my friends (H necklace). I. Love. It. Luke gave me cross charm from Pandora. It was beautiful.

• August: Things were pretty much the same as on May. Was back to hometown and enjoy quality time with friends, with church, and with work. I think it's around this time I started my job as a freelance translator (right, Christy? :P). Got to know how tough it is to work as a translator - mostly by the fact that the pay sucked, even for a full-timer. Ha ha ha!

• September: My sister's friend got married and I was the bridesmaid! Along with my bestie, Fanny, and also Brian and Yonax. It was fun, but I kind-of hating my dress. It didn't fit really well on my body and it was making me look like a 20 year-old face with a 35 year-old body. Ughh. Ok maybe it's just me who thought that way. But one thing for sure: being a bridesmaid is a tough job!

• October: Another two weddings to go, with me being the bridesmaid of one of them. I think this was the month where I realized that men still think I was interesting. Not that I had issue with self-esteem, but I just didn't know that I still had it. You know? Ha! Just kidding. I was shocked on an occasion, and flattered on the other. Was really exciting because I was going to Perth - and Sydney! And the best part about October was because i got to go to Bigbang's concert!!!! Kyaaaaa!!! Bigbang was super great! Everyone's really really handsome! 진짜!
  Was sick at the end of the month though. The bridesmaid and wedding thingy had taken its toll. Couldn't get close to Brooklyn even if I wanted to really bad. :(

• November: Another highlight of the year. Went to Sydney to surprise my friends - and they were surprised!! :))) Had the greatest time for my short stay there. It was the best November I've ever had. Went to Melbourne as well. Learned how to play mahjong, and also got to try all the food that I've been craving for so long. It was short-lived though. Back to Perth and started my life as a nanny :p I enjoyed it. Maybe because she's my niece. And she's very cute. And chubby. And round. And tiny. And adorable. And she kept making cute noises all the time. I just love everything about her. I couldn't even get angry to her. Awwww. Bad news was I had breakout. It was major. Worst thing ever happened to my face :(

• December: Brooklyn was turning two months old and she was getting cuter and cuter. I wish my children will all be as cute as her. Ha! Mom and dad and my bro came to Perth and we had fun all the time! Learned that Luke had scored himself a girlfriend and wow, it had been more than a year (me and luke broke up)! I genuinely hope they'll last. I wish you a happy life, if you're reading my post now, Luke. :) God bless. Back to my point, I visited casino and won some money! I had never won this much in my life. I never had won anything in my life! I was so proud. But guys, gambling is sinful so don't do what I did. It was just for fun.. Hahaha. Another thing to mention was… I had been praying, quite a lot to God. Was asking for a sign. I wasn't sure if my prayer was valid. I'm still not sure now. Even though He had given me the answer.. I guess. It was really nerve-wrecking as I waited for the answer.

My latest request would be two days ago. I can't tell you what it was all about but all I can say is… It's funny how you find out you really want/like something/someone when you're about to lose it/them. Does it make any sense? I think I need to pray more. On the other hand, I've been way out of topic so I'll just shut.

That's how I spent the whole twelve months last year. I hope I've done something useful. Well I'm a well-trained mother-to-be now ;) And I've seen many new places. And I realize that I really love Australia. I hope I'll keep on coming back to this place. Sydney, I'm talking about you. Ha!

That's all for now. I'm gonna spend the rest of this day thinking about my new year's resolutions. I'll keep you updated!
