NEW YEAR'S EVE!

31ST DECEMBER 2013 // TUESDAY

2014 COUNTDOWN!!

Decided to take a break from the Turkey updates. It's tiring me out, lol. Anyway, I'm finally updating about how I spent my new year's eve! If you've been following my blog for the past year or so, you'd know that I spent my 2012 & 2013 countdowns in the airport. & I decided to go out and celebrate this time round. I've forgotten how exhilarating it is to count down to the new year. 

Spent the new year's eve with the cousins, nephew and niece. Funny how this was our first time counting down together, lol. Anyway, we decided to celebrate at the marina barrage and came down early. We thought it would be jam packed with people, but surprisingly it wasn't as crowded as we thought it'd be. 

We brought some nom noms to accompany us. I also brought some knitting stuff & taught them how to knit. We were pretty much knitting the whole time like aunties hahaha

 Oh & our lip colour code was red!

 Our little picnic treats. I made some tuna and brought some bread for sandwiches. Syiq brought her signature brownies while Sam brought fried rice!

 It was a lovely weather, I thought it was gonna be scorching hot. Though it kinda rained and drizzled a little bit. So that was quite a bummer having to shift places and taking refuge under the shelter with everyone else.

 My nephew, Niyaz and Syiq.

I swear I always get confused with nephew and niece. I never get it right.

 Our attempt to hi-5 jump

 and after that jump I fell to the ground...

 sigh ageing already

  ' EH AUNTY NOT READY YET!! '

 And only one photo of the fireworks. hahaha....cause I still kinda suck at taking photos. 

ALREADY 2014!!

After the countdown, we planned on heading to the airport to sleep. But then somehow, we decided to stay a little longer to let the crowd clear. And by the time we moved and reached the bus stop, there were no more services to the airport. We walked a lot actually. From marina barrage, through marina bay sands mall, pass the helix bridge and to esplanade. 

With nowhere to go and even the cab was hard to get, we decided to wait till the first bus at 6.20am. We initially went in the esplanade where there were sofas and all but then we got kicked out. Sighh...only such things happens to us. So we decided to just lay our picnic mats right outside of esplanade and ended up knitting again as seen as picture above. hahaha

I managed to sleep for awhile and before we knew it, it was time to take the bus. I don't know bout the others, but I slept like a baby. umm...okay maybe not such a glamorous one cause I literally did not care about the world as I slept. 

We took the bus to the airport where we got some breakfast. I bought some makeup wipes straight away to remove my makeup. My eyes were getting irritated with the eyeliner on my eye for like 16 hours. 

After that we got home. I slept like a wild boar in the bus. 

Got back home, showered and slept all the way till 6pm. & I decided to drop by for a new year's gathering my colleagues did. It was nice seeing some old faces :)

Alsooo, I recorded some footage from the new year's eve with the cousins!

It makes me smile every time I watch it :)

HERE YOU GO:

Also, I'm planning to do a 2013 timeline like how I did last year.  Timeline coming soon I guess, hahah. It'll take me awhile to do that. For the time being, let's see what I've completed my 2012 new year's resolution. It would be more fitting for me to mention this in my 2013 timeline, but oh well, I can't wait.

ok, it's evaluation time.

My 2013 Resolutions:

• Perform in front of a live audience (Not alone of course..hahh) - I did! I performed in gentarasa!
• Partially master a language - errr....does learning how to say the time in mandarin counts?
• I want to learn to fight - umm.....not really but I've been doing punches in a cardio workout I often do?...can ah

I thought one more of my new year's resolution was to get my driver's license. It seems like I didn't put that down..but I got my license anyway!

My 2014 Resolutions:

• Get fit ( I know, I know..it seems like this is everyone's resolution but I'm serious about this. Just so you know, I've been eating healthy and been working out regularly. & I signed up as a membership at a gym as well, lolzz)
• Go for a marathon
• Do something with my life besides just working part-time all the time. likeeee say, go to university...
• Learn to cartwheel 
• Do something crazy. Something life changing and out of the box. ANYTHING! #YOLO

I think that's enough. hahaaaa not sure if I can complete these items but isn't that the point? To challenge myself. I actually have one more resolution. But it's a secret for now ;p

HAPPY 2014 & GOOD LUCK!

(p.s. if you read my previous post, I'm doing sooo much better now)
