I feel so emo today..
So sad & blue....
I know it's not totally because hubby have to work tonight...
It's something deeper.....
I was feeling all sad & blue & down and before I know it, my 'old habit' just kicks in like that!
Yes, posting emo stuff on FB again~ (I always do that unknowingly when I'm down!)
You see?!
The posts I posted within that 2 hrs!!!
It's so obvious and depressing and..... everything it shouldn't be on a Christmas eve!
I was so tempted to order food for supper~
I thought I need some comfort food to 'tide' me through the night...
I chose a cuppa milk in the end and that kicks the craving (for comfort food) in the butt! *Hee Hee*
Oh! Halfway through this blog I receive a call & msg from hubby.
Hubby is a unromantic-traditional male chauvinist!
Its easier to wait for gold to drop than something like this from him...
So when it happens, it literally lift me up to the moon! :)
A simple greeting msg from my love ones never fail to brighten my mood :)
It's a good Christmas eve afterall! ;)

Another 9 days to 2014.
Read an article on Colon cancer.
Not exactly a very informative read, but it at least gave me some insights on how our lifestyle affects our health. (You can read it here)
Looking back on 2013, road seems rougher.
Transfer from Settlement Team to Procurement Team.
Almost resigned twice...
Colleagues issue (my colleague said that I am not approachable and show her attitude every time she need me to give her directions. =( )
And.....
Did not fulfill my only resolution.... *sigh*
.
11 months have passed and the number on my weighing scale still stay the same.
One good news though- I stopped smoking again without putting on any weight! *Lucky me!!!*
Tried twice and succeeded on the 2nd attempt!
Though it's only been like 2-3 weeks but Thank god I did it! I hope it'll last this time! :)
My resolution for 2014
Same, to get the number on my weighing scale to go down!!!
I think the reason I failed, other than the fact that the enemy is stronger, is because I do not have a concrete plan.
Now I think instead of just saying I need to lose 25kg by end of the year, I tell myself, I need to lose 500g per week with the help of some changes to my lifestyle.
1st step: - Controlled diet -
Not in the sense of all salad and no carbo, but eat whatever you want in moderation.
I need to remind myself this all the time because when I feel happy, I'll just order anything i feel like it!
And oh ya~ also to eat fruits like a fruit monster!!!!
2nd step: - Exercise -
I think I should pick up Yoga again.
It is really good for body though it always left me muscle aching after the 1st lesson.
And also jogging or walking.
I used to jog like 3 times a week when I'm on my weight lost plan.
Together with low-carb diet, I lost 5kg in 2 weeks, but that re-bounces almost instantly after I stop my regime because I cut down too much carbo at once.
With the lessons I learnt from my previous mistake, I hope I can do better this time;)
3rd step: - Skip supper -
Once a week is too much still!
I'm happy with the progress i made on this part, but like what I said - Once a week is too much still!
I should try to cut it down to once every fortnight and reach once a month by June 2014.
But as supper is kind of 'unwind + our + relaxing' time for me and hubby, I can foresee that it would take more than my usual effort to reach the 'once-a-month' goal.
Hopefully I can see some results in 2014. ;)
Oh oh oh~ And 1 more last resolution - to cut down on my spending and clear all my debts in 2014!
Self-Improvement
I spent most of my free time on dramas this year.
I have been slack on my kids and myself and my best friend is none other than my computer~
I think I need to take up some courses to improve myself!
For a start, I would like to learn a new language... Maybe Korean...
I might also pick up where I left for my academic pursuance.
A colleague would like to take private degree and we sort of able to take the same course at the same time, so I might go back to study again this Aug if nothing goes wrong ;)
Reflections
Even though 2013 seems like a tougher year for me, but I'm still thankful for everything that have happened.
I learned a lot this year.
I did more reflections than before, especially on interpersonal relationships - with the kids, with my friends and colleagues, with Joe....
I can better manage disappointments now especially when it comes from Joe.
Though I still cannot exactly 'action' but I understand the sentence ‘命中有时终须有命中无时莫强求’better.
I'm a better person now than I was the same time last year :)
This will probably be my last post of 2013.
(Tons of things to prepare before school reopens)
Before I go, I would like to sum up my feeling of 2013 in 1 picture :)
(Change all the 'YOUs' to 'I' =D)
Have fun celebrating Christmas & New Year!
See you peeps in 2014!!!
Tata!!
