A new page...soon

In less than 2 hours, as the clock strikes 12 midnight - another year has gone by. It had been another whirlwind year with its fair share of ups and downs. On most parts, my life had been better though there are still things/issues I struggle with. I believe it will be better in the coming year. Hope fuels our lives, and as long as we do not lose sight, some day we will see what we envision to come true.

Here's wishing you and yours a Blessed New Year.

Last trip for the year

Just finished packing my bag for a 3D2N trip.

Not a leisurely trip but I am glad to be able to make it - will share more when I am back. Adios!

It's Christmas...

Christmas Eve

The office was almost empty today, probably less than 15 people on our floor - we didn't even have key to go in as most of the key holders are on leave, hohoho.

My Christmas eve lunch ... new place in town. Kyo-ei Tokyo Ramen @ Level 6, Pavilion - famed for its handmade ramen; as good as the one (Santouka) down at Tokyo Street. Whilst there, we saw quite a number of Japanese diners - so it must be good :)

My fave snack!

One off the long list, anyway...

Ta-dahhhh - say HELLO to Auntie Anne's Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel, yummy!!!

From Auntie Anne - What better way to spoil dinner than this sweet treat, classic & all-time favourite. Blend of fine cinnamon powder with sugar coating the buttered pretzel.

They have a new pretzel on the block - with turkey bits & cheese topping - hence the 'new' packaging. Perhaps I will try it the next round.

冬至 Winter Solstice

古人話“冬大過年”。。。一年一道嘅冬至落在今天，陽曆12月21日，咁岩都係瑪雅族群所傳聞嘅世界末日*。

冬至，又名冬節，係廿四節氣中嘅第廿二個 - 古時唐人以擬日做一歲開始，因為呢日之後日照會越來越長。

北方人傳統吃餃子，而南方人就吃湯圓。

細個時，阿媽整湯圓都係有白有紅，兩個色。白嘅平安大搵錢，紅嘅歡喜迎新年。今年，因為“唔夠人手”，所以阿媽話唔整湯圓喔。。。真懷念。點都好，最重要嘅係個個都齊齊正正，一團和氣。

*FB好多人開玩笑嘅是芥茉日！呵呵！

12 Days to Christmas

Wonderful reminder

I will be back!

I have 'abandoned' my own for a few months now, but lately motivated by a friend wanting to start a blog and who had asked me on how to get started & so on...

I know I have missed out a lot...I don't think I can even clear all the backlog, December's a busy month (~~shifty eyes) - but I will try to at least conclude 2012 with a summary post :) So stay tuned!
