‘Tis the season for lots of excuses to eat and shop! It’s incredible!
For the past few years, I have been spending my Christmas and New Year together with a bunch of friends and fellow volunteers from Heartware. This is the first year that I will probably be spending this holiday season at home. So if anyone has any party on Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve, ask me! Haha… I’m serious! It is hard to get your close friends to get together to celebrate when most of them are attached – it is only right that they spend time with their loved ones. So Missy ee-lai-nee would have to find her own activities. Maybe I will try to finish my cross stitch. ^_^
Speaking of which, my cross stitch, which I bought at least 3.5 years ago, look like this now.
The completed piece should look like this.
Still a loooooooooooooooooooong way to go as all of you can see. Goodness. -_-|||
And since I have too much time on hand, I went to compile a series of photographs of me throughout the years. Viewer discretion is advised.
I think I ding dong ding dong changed a lot over the years. From cute to yyeww~ If only I remained how I looked when I was younger like six years old. Then I will be a really happy girl. I think I looked the worst from primary 6 to secondary 2, then from poly year 3 to university year 1. And according to my good friend, I went through a series of changes she fondly calls”从猪变人” aka from pig to human. Haha…
And with the new year just around the corner, I have decided to heed the advice from the Ellen Degeneres talk show – compile a life list - things that I want to achieve or do throughout my life time. Here’s a fraction of the things on my very loooooong list
- Volunteer at the zoo
- Be a filial daughter
- Hang out with my sister more often
- Do bungee jumping
- Complete the whole tree-top walk from McRitchie to Bukit Timah on foot
- Travel to – Rome, Greece, Japan and Egypt
- Learn to speak Japanese properly
- Visit less popular local museums – Reflections at Bukit Chandu, the old Ford factory and Changi Prison museum
- Learn to play the piano properly
- And, haha, learn to drive a car
And the list goes on and on….. You are welcome to add on to my list… hahaha….
Party hard people!

I am hooked on the LIVE coverage of the Asian Games in Doha for the past few nights.
Night after night, I sat on the edge of the chair, watching the games intently - Li Jiawei playing against Athlete No. 203 from China, or Joscelin Yeo trying her best to beat the younger and more powerful contenders from China and Japan. We were always so close to winning another medal.
Until last night.
16-year old Tao Li represented Singapore in the 50m butterfly stroke event.
The moment she jumped into the water, my sister and I started shouting.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!………..”
We just couldn’t stop shouting. So for the next 26 seconds or so, we kept shouting as the athletes kept swimming.
It was a close match. We had no idea who won. For that split second when we were waiting for the super to appear on the swimming pool to indicate who won, there was silence.
When Tao Li’s name appeared, my sister and I started screaming again! We screamed, shouted and high-fived! It was really quite a bit of outrageous shouting considering it was already way past midnight.
I wondered why we did that. Not like she would share that million-dollar reward with us. =(
Still, we are happy she’d won. At the end of that 26 seconds of shouting, my throat was really kind of sore. Thankfully it was only 50m, not 1500m or something.
Then we started debating whether Tao Li is born and bred in Singapore or a ‘foreign import’. My sister was convinced that she is Singaporean when we saw her during the award ceremony
“She doesn’t look chinese, chinese la.”
I was hoping she is born and bred here too. But I’m sorry mei mei. Tao Li was originally from Hubei and she is currently a Sec 1 student in the Singapore Sports School.
Maybe another 10 years down the road, we will see more outstanding athletes that are born and bred here in Singapore, especially since the establishment of the Singapore Sports School. I do hope that it would happen.
For now, let’s appreciate those who graciously left their home country to be part of us in this tiny red dot, representing us in the many international sporting events.
And I do hope that we will get more gold medals. Maybe just enough to be ahead of our closest neighbour. Haha.. Then I will be really happy.
