Exciting January went with crazy closings and then shoo! Off we went to Taipei for a week.
Had our 2012 incentive plus 2013 kick off meeting at the luxurious W Taipei.
It was premium atas!
Slightly better than the Langham Place in HongKong. It could fit in 4 people in a room, but we had 2 people each. :)
Had an eventful meeting as well as a half a day amazing race around Taipei, and boy it was tight! half day travel up and down and doing all sorts of weird stuff which we never done it before and didn't know where those places were... Plus that day was the coldest of all! 10% and raining... gosh. I was trembling when it rained.
I believed all of us had fun, and in the evening we went to Taipei 101 top restaurant for our company dinner. Food was mediocre but the view was fantastic. We had our ex FD who came as well as GOH. :)
Kinda missed him. and he brought 3 lucky draws gifts to us! 1 CARTIER, 1 MONT BLANC, 1 DUNHILL!!!! We were all drooling man. Sadly I didn't get the gift. Shit. haha...
He promised me to give a gift if I go over again! hahaha... we shall see....
The company trip ended with a Yilan tour plus hot spring which is breath taking. Beautiful scenery.
Hot spring in such a cold weather... what else can i say but fab!
After the company trip, most of us extended our stay and we went tracking near the mountain and seeing waterfalls. :) Nice experience. Weather was good and flowers astart to blossom.
Went places like Wulai falls, jiu fen, shi fen, and Mao Kong (Cable car).
Another good news to start the year is my niece is born!!!! Second's brother little dragon girl.
Both my brother I realised, have very good forecasting accuracy. One aimed just right at the start of the Dragon year, while the other, at the dragon tail.
Velda Lim, born 15th January 2012, same as my mum's birthday, sweet lil girl. :)
Shall upload picture soon!
See ya!

The beginning
After two weekends of burning at e office, I finally had time to clean up my house and properly drink a coffee and chill. That's what I'm doing now at city hall J.Co. :)
Reading books and surfing net and looking at people passing by. That's simple happiness for me.
2013 started with a big bang with lots of happenings in e office.
First being Abbott has finally split into 2 officially and globally.
The new proprietary product company, Abbvie, will stand as its own entity.
Established products will still remain as Abbott.
Abbott host finance will continue to provide services to them for 2 years though.
This means... 2 closings, 2 tax computations, 2 audits.
Felt a sense of accomplishment because I was privileged to be part of the separation project, which u hardly get such projects. I mean, not every company will do that so.. situations were all new and experimental. The wee hours of concalls and coming up with procedures wasn't for nought.
This year, another big project is up and I'm glad I'm in it as well. Another huge time.will go to that also.
Another big announcement is that my reporting manager is leaving us. She has taught me alot and am very grateful for her. Sadly, she will leave this team which has been groomed by her.
Decisions for me will need to be made as well...
Dunno what I should do and can't really discuss with anyone since even my bro is not expert to finance.
Not too Sure if I should take up 2modules at one shot this sem with external and internal audit coming up in Feb and mar. This means no taking of leave for this two months. dunno if I can cope.
Am continuing my dance lessons as well which I'm loving it!
Been chilling out with this guy at dance who is 6 years my senior. he makes sense whenever I have problems so that y I kinda like talking to him. But he's kinda ego. Probably That's because he's a background and stayed in Aussie for awhile. Likes to speed in his Volkswagen sportscar. Super rolleye.
Leaving for Taipei next week so definitely gonna meetup ex FD. So called my God father. Haha.
January gonna pass in a blur. Half passed with torturing closing, ending with holiday and setting goals.
Gonna meetup my dearies after I come back cause it's been a long time since I saw them!
Gonna try catching my long over due meetup with lost friends!

two O one three
HAPPY NEW YEAR & WELCOME 2013!!!
*Free hugs to everyone*
It was my first time squeezing to Marina Bay and countdown together and watch the beautiful fireworks.
Despite the rain. Carrying brolly and sitting there to "chope" our seats because we had 14 people.
During the fireworks, my mind recalled the good and bad in 2012, although more bad, but it has shaped me to be a better person, a stronger person.
oh, then after that, we changed spots and sat near the MBS entrance, in front of Avalon, playing games and drinking.
That time was hilarious. We saw many funny stuffs. While playing, we saw couple kissing passionately, it's like watching a movie. HAHAHAHA...
I saw an indian man being dragged out of MBS, all the way to main street. Super dead drunk and quite big size too. Poor friends. LOL.
One ang moh lady drunk and 3 security guards was with her! not bad eh?! Think she went drinking alone i suppose?
A few good fellas came to help her cause the security guards were guys so cannot carry her. But the drunk lady suddenly became awake and scolded the good people and walked off. Apparently, she suddenly didn't become drunk like that. haha... But the security guard were still nice to follow her even out of MBS.
Went home ard 4.30am and slept like a log. Only woke up at 11am.
Oh well, am at work now. Yes. What a way to start 2013. But it's okay, bitter now and enjoy sweetness later. :)
Meeting a friend for dinner later. My first date for 2013! haha... just wanna say something nice out of 1st day la. rather that just spending my time in the office.
This new year resolution, is to enjoy myself. :) Slow my pace, go dating!!!!! yes, I'm determined to overcome my weird habit of not dating my age. haha...
To my lovely friends, CHEERS TO 2013! CREATE YOUR AMAZING 2013. Only you control your future. Take your chance!
Yours Truely.

Emotional Christmas Reflection
Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you are enjoying this day with your friends, family and loved ones.
As for myself, I'm spending this day with myself eating self cooked food and nua-ing at home. I hardly have such a chance ok...
This very day last year, marks a significant history in my life for some of you who know.
The first and big quarrel that ended everything.
Thninking back, honestly I don't know if I should have not done that and just simply "don't care" ... then maybe things wouldn't be so bad.
Till today, I still can't figure out.
But, what's over is over. Trying also no use. And today's me, I have taken a slightly chilled approach.
Learn to let go, and don't take everything so seriously.
I'm serious! I have gone through the rest of the days taking it as a pinch of salt. Of course, when it's really serious, u must be serious la.
But when it comes to study, work or life, I used to be very"on-the-ball" and also do my very best and if I fail, I will be so sad over myself and blame myself.
But now, I will stll do my best, but if I fail at anything, I will say to myself, "Just do better next time, don't blame yourself."
Hey it works! Cause you can't be sad over everything in life, if not, it will be very tiring.
And, you only live once, so happiness is utmost important. oh, of course, health too.
Many people in this world thinks money is very important, and are always not happy over not enough money.
Self content pls.
Nothing more I can say. And that, I'm still learning. And I think that's very important. Be humble.
This Christmas, I just wanna thank everyone in my life for being supportive during this time.
I can't wait for 2012 to be over and start afresh 2013.
And to you, you seem happier and I am happy for you. Thank you for a wonderful memory despite all that has happened. I wish all the best for you.
Merry Christmas to myself, and I pray, my health will be in pink.
Please don't ask what's wrong.

Neverending Wishlist
Yea. That's the topic of the month as usual.
Wishlist.
Honestly, there's so many things you would like but ... at such times like things... I always get blanked out.
Partly because, you dunno who's gonna give you a gift, and if that person got similar taste etc.
And of course, getting a gift is a PAIN!!! Oh well, squeezing with tons of people is definitely one of them.
Cracking your head and thinking what to get from him/her is also another one.
But I do enjoy walking down the streets of Orchard Road and shopping though.
It's one of the most time in the year that I will hit the road in Orchard. and literally shop!
(cause I've shopped shopping and upgraded myself to online shopping) hee.
This week is like Orchard week. Friday down to Taka for dinner, today went to Mandarin Gallery for an impromptu brunch with mum, and tomorrow gonna shop for gifts!
It's my last weekend to buy!!!! Gosh. December seriously FLIES!!!!
I updated my wishlist to the Santa who's gonna give me a gift. But I hope we are on the same frequency. haha...
Anyway few things I want!!!!
***
1) Necklace for daily wear!
2) Baby G new series watch
3) Pillow (yes, i know the huh?! is coming out)
4) Inspiring books
5) Track shoes, sport attire.
And the neverending list goes on.... :)
I have so many Santas this year. ;)

Your purpose.
Today, my mum suddenly asked me a question.
"Do you know what exactly happened between papa and me?"
After 10years, you asked me this. and wanted to explain to me. Well, to me, it doesn't matter anymore. It's over already, and everyone moved on. Dad has learnt and earning his own keep.
I may think wrongly, or even fault wrongly, but telling me now doesn't change anything.
No matter what I can't change my parents right?
All of you have reasons to do something. If it makes u happy, go ahead.
I lead my life, i create the future I want, and make sure I won't follow your steps.
This saturday gonna celebrate my Dad's 60th birthday. Excited and looking forward to it! :)

The $100 Startup
I have been reading this book ever since I came back form Aussie.
It's called The $100 Startup.
It's a nice readable book where it makes you think of opportunities.
Why I like this book is because it doesn't just focus on making money, doing businesses, but it's more of finding what you think is profitable, yet you will find enjoyment in what you are doing.
Something that should be giving you satisfaction, more free time, and being able to live a life you enjoy.
That's why it has the wording"Fire your boss, Do what you love and Work Less to Live more!!!"
If you have time, do try reading this book.
November is gonna be busy, with Corporate tax comp due on 30th November, interim audits starting next week, and Entity Plan due next week as well.
Best thing is, my study times gets eaten up!! Argh! I hope I won't fail though... even though... probability is extremely high for the effort i'm putting in. It's even less than half of my usual time spent!
But surprisingly, I'm not very very tensed up like before.
I think i'm learning to look at a brighter side where life is not all academic-y and striving up.
Got rejected for the Sydney posting ... sadded for awhile... but still... am still looking out. :)

After down under
G'Day!
yeap. That's what the Aussie would greet you. Localise!
2 weeks over there was amazing. Relaxed, just chilling by the parks and cafes ...
taking time to breathe the fresh air and reading motivating books.
I would say this trip is an absolute refresher for me.
Not like those in HK/BKK where you keep shopping and get tired, this is not. No shopping, just sightseeing and taking your time in everything. Well, that's what you get in Australia.
Everything is slow pace.. which is good. Work-life balance.
Crossing my fingers *** for you know what *** :)
I shall enjoy every moment in life cause you live once. Make it great, make it happy for yourself. Not for others. :):):)
Loves,
Koala.
(and, of course, that's my favourite)

A new image
Finally a new template to get started.
Decided to just use Blogger's templates since they have updated their styles recently.
Used a simple one. No need so complicated right? What matters is the content. haha.
One problem is ... I cannot link to other blogs... dunno how to. shit. haha.
Let me figure out soon.

A day of tears
23rd September 2012.
Supposed to be a perfect day.
Mum went on to talk about it.
I just listened and tried to control but I failed in the end.
Worse part is.. U want us to be back together again and still want him as a perfect son-in-law.
and u will not want any one else.
So, that leaves me with ????
Emotionally upset. I read our memories. I watched the video again.
It is clawing back to me, to 9months back again.
How long more to heal back.....
strength, courage. please.

Bangkok
4 days of bangkok retreat.
Been walking n walking. Didn't bought much stuff. When u shop for one, u definitely buy less things. But somehow... tend to see some nice things.. n realise u can't buy. Cause no one to give. And u just stop shortly. Happened many times to me.
Sometimes send moments just take u back to where u were before.
If I remember correctly... I just took once with him. N. That's it. Right.

Love yourself
This sentence often comes out and your probably heard it.
You cannot please everyone.
Very true.
Someone reminded me this. But I always have this bad habit... thinking about everyone of what they will think. Make sure everyone happy.
Ended up. Try too hard. Make yourself sad.
So... love yourself first.
Tough eh. It's tough for me.
But I'm learning... learning to love myself more and let go.
Ya. I think alot. Really alot.
Can't help it. Haha.
Doesn't matter where u r now, what stage u are going through in your life, create a better one.
Create your own life that you want.
Some philosopher told me. Haha.
You.know what?
I'm gonna create mine. Sweet nice simple and as usual romantic. But this time... with excitements in social life. :)
Had a good news yesterday from my family...
Accepted the fact that I'm probably e only problem in the family. The only worry. Haha.
But appreciate what events in life can change your attitude and perception towards life.
The things u can do for the ones you love.
Will definitely work hard for my future family if I will have one.
So much so for studying n studying n studying. Haha...
