CNY 2012:D

GONG XI FA CAI EVERYONE:)

When i am a kid, Chinese new year is all about wearing new clothes, eating nice food and getting angbao..
As i grow older, I learn how to appreciate the meaning of this festival more. CNY is no longer about the scaring away the monster but more of a celebration of togetherness. Can never understand why people prefer to spend the holiday overseas. Why not take advantage of the holiday to spend quality time with your family??

Anyways, my Chu yi is the same every year. We will visit our late-grandparents in the morning, queue for free vegetarian mee sua and lunch at uncle's place:)
Talking about my ah gong and ah ma, I really miss them alot:( 

------

We were fooling around with this mini lion dance prop at uncle's place. 

My daddy is soooo cute right!!!!

Back Home:) People came visiting!!!

Look at the photos below. Half of the people in the photo are my nephews and niece. 

Yes. we are about the same age =.=

Complicating family tree. 

AND! I really don't like how my eyes disappear when i smile. :(

CHU ER!

 Every chu er my mom's siblings will gather at my uncle's house where my ahma used to live:)

Prep-ing for Ban Luck! :D

3 ban luck in the same game. from 3 sisters.
What are the odds??
we are gonna be so lucky this year :D

Me loves babies who don't cry:)

River AngBao!!
Weirdest name.

PSSS! My shoes are super nice right:)
13cm killer heels and i wore them the entire day.
A pat on my back!

Thats all for my chu yi and er:)

Change.

FYP has been overwhelming. Way too overwhelming.
I am reading aimlessly hoping information will register themselves in my brain. Did they? No idea. My brain feels  heavy but at the same time, empty. I better pray hard the lecturers will show us some mercy in the Q&A session.

Enough of FYP. Now lets talk about me. Recently I made decisions that will affect my life and I was forced to grow up in the process. Think rationally. Think for others. Think like how a adult would. I realise that you would really do everything for people you love. Everything, even those which you don't wish to. I don;t think i can say it is a sacrifice. Because sacrifice is too strong a word.  

Speaks.

Came just in time. 

Are you coming home for reunion dinner?

I know this is just another advertisement but the meaning behind is so much more than wanting you to buy a bottle of pepsi.

It pretty much sums up why I fear of growing up. My fear of wanting to study overseas.

I am that type of person in the video above. As I spread my wings and fly, I get so occupied that I don't have time for anything else. Willing to give up all the time for things which I want to achieve. Though I haven "fly" yet, I know this is how I will do things. I really have to change.

And I know my parents are the type in the video too. Someone who will not force their kids but accommodate to them. It kinda saddens me when I watch this video because I cannot totally picture it happening to me. Terrible, so terrible.

Toh Xinni ah Toh Xinni. 长大了还是要知道家在哪里。去哪里都好，记得要回家。

Random, like always

Yesterday was the start of the last term in poly.The last 2 months! I have said this millions of times and I will say it again, Time flies at an unbelievable fast speed. At a blink of an eye, here I am. A soon-to-be poly graduate and 3 years older. An another blink of an eye, I will be a university grad and 24? OH MY GAWD! Save me! I am growing up too fast. My life is going to get serious. *Bang wall*

Enough of complaining about being old. There is nothing I can do except including anti-winkle cream into my daily skin care regime.*shake head*

Okay. At least there is something within my control- FYP! "We" have pieced the report together and really, WOWWW!! I am amazed. Very proud of our work :) In the mist of the project I didn't know that we have done so much. A very big sense of satisfaction:) Can't wait for the day when we can finally print it out!!!

2012

Been thinking if I should have "TOH XINNI'S NEW YEAR RESOLUTION FOR 2012". But nah. Since I never keep to my resolutions then why bother? I KNOW RIGHT :D

Nonetheless I am pretty excited about 2012. Gotta feeling it will be quite a happening one!
Because:
            1) Poly graduation (wearing that harry potter robe thing and grad trip!)
            2) I am turning 21:)
            3) University!

3 major events in life.

FYI, I just countdown-ed at home. Yes!I spent the 5,4,3,2,1 moment with my lovely family at home:) This is the benefit of having a instantly high family and living in a house which you can see fireworks from Marina Bay, Tampines, Khatib and JB. (Realise that neighbourhood countdown are the trend these years. SUPER COOL).

Happy New Year Everyone!!! 2012, no matter end-of-the-world or not, live it to the fullest!
and, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY:D

你。

我们一起经历的一切，我们一起开心的微笑，我们为彼此做的每一件傻事，甚至是每一滴留下的眼泪，都变成我心中最美好的回忆。

选择了你是我做的最正确的决定。

谢谢你成为我这么多年来的依靠。

我们没有一个像童话故事里公主和王子一般的结局也没有一起踏上教堂的红地毯的那一天。

我想你知道

我们永远不会失去对方，因为回忆是永恒。

那天我说的话你或许还不明白，不过有一天你会的。

我非常确定。

那天我的果断或许对你是最大的残忍，不过有一天一个人会让你明白

那是我所可以给你最大的祝福:)

WITH A BLAST!

Hi earthlings:) It has been awhile since I last updated this tiny space of mine.Not that anyone cares but life has been B.U.S.Y with school work (what else??)..But since today is Christmas,I thought I can cut myself some slack and NOT do anything. like a boss! OH YA! Ultimate shiokness.

I have got so much to blog about. My bangkok trip, Christmas Party with the Popiah and some other random things. LETS GO!!

The Family when to Bangkok the 2nd day after the end of my MST! Perfect getaway for me:) I think it gradually become a tradition in our family to have a annual vacation. AWESOME.
Photos are in SD card which is in G12 which is with sister who is out:) Understand?? Will update on this part when she is back. LOL.

I don't know how many times must I thank God for this amazing group of friends. They are just one of the greatest, most amazing gift given to me :)

I so LOVE you guys. Every single one of you!! My poly life will be so bland and boring without you people!

Look at this amount of food!!!! I know it doesn't look alot but it is.. We were filled to the brim. Not forgetting there is a log cake not in the photo.
Note to self: Do not count the calories *tears rolling in eyes :(*

The girls!!! As you can see, the theme is red and green!!

The Popiahs!!! Muacks.

The reindeer couple!! :)

 
My favorite picture of the night :D Mega LOVE!

Recently, I started attending church again.Best way to end off 2011.

New Year's Eve

Before I left for Bangkok, I managed to catch New Year's Eve.
The movie is all about being optimistic for the coming year. About how a new year is a 2nd chance to do what you failed to this year.

" What is the one thing you will do if you know you wouldn't fail?? Now. Go out there and do it"

This movie made me reflect on my year.How did things change since the last year? How did I change? What have I changed? What have I accomplished? What did I fail to do? 

The many many decisions I made this year seem to flash through my mind one by one. 

2011 is a very important year in my life. A very important turning point. My big Two-Zero year. Alot of tears, tons of laughter, a bucket of sweat and a heart full of gratefulness. So many things happened this year how do I even start? So many of which I don't think I can easily put it in words. 

So.ITP. I learnt that in life, your amount of effort is not proportional to what you get in return. How depressing this statement is? But I realise that being optimistic is the key to being tough. I am thankful for what I have went through because it made me tougher. I am very sure. Every cloud has a silver lining.

Dalian. An eye widening experience:) From culturally challenged to dying to go back. From classmates to friends. From understanding to caring. From caring to loving. 

This year I learn that you need to let the heart feel and the brain to do the right thing. Sometimes, letting go will be the right thing to do. Ending is another beginning.

2011 is the year I go back to God:) 

If We Hold On Together

Hey Peepooo! :)

Listen to this!! Beautiful aint it??? I actually prefer the instrumental version. Very Dreamy:) Maybe its the instrument.
