2012 in retrospective

I can almost smell 2013. Perhaps it'll bring better luck and good news.

2012 was with its ups and downs. I don't feel i have accomplished much. It's just been a year of trying to get by. Perhaps the most emotional moment came when i said bye to my red monstahhh. The sale was one of the hardest thing i ever had to do. But it made sense. 

I grew up, i think. Erik (my better, smarter, awesome other half) relocated to Bandar Seri Bengawan, Brunei. I had to slow down my lifestyle in Singapore, and start spending some time with him over in Brunei. That's what a wife is supposed to do, right? In exchange, i was gifted an M3. I'm still as into cars as i have always been. I guess it doesn't help that i love the finer things in life, nothing like a fine engine... and more clothes, bags and shoes.

I started amassing my love for shoes at an all new level : Louboutins, Jimmy Choos, Prada. I'm still a tyrant in many ways. I've been called the devil, the queen. The name so befitting i can't shake it off. Afterall, the devil wears Prada. Such is the weakness for the finer things in life.

I stuck to my new year's resolution. I got leaner, i don't think i can break the 48kg barrier. Sigh! I did love a whole lot more people who matters, i spend a lot more time with family and friends. It helps with technology advances like whatsapp and other online chat applications. Distances don't seem to mean as much. I made a trip back to HK, spent some time with my old 310 mates. I made a trip back to US, spent some time with my Purdue friends, my 310 buddies, and my family and my huge little Silas.

I started learning back golf. I love the game, i just need more time and practice with it. I can't be tiger woods overnight. I got back on the bicycle a couple of times. I did a few runs this year. I started doing my own indoor bodyweight workout. I could do a lot better, i know.

But you know what, i still live like i'm dying. 
Onwards to 2013.
