i just realised the last post was on 4 dec & now is near end 2010. time to review for the year & setting new resolutions.

somehow, i did not sense much joy in this dec. much thoughts filled my mind which hard to penned down here one by one. to summarise, 2011 seems so uncertain. new expectations/ challenges/ changes.

on the other hand, i'm really glad & thankful that both xx & i managed to scrape thru this year exams.. it was really a "phew". for the 1st time, i'm not keen to know how i fare. 2 more years of regular course before i completed the whole program (if nothing goes wrong). but decided to take a year break. of cos, i'll not lost touch cos had conversation & JLPT courses are in the pipe line. and not to forget, my usual dose of jdramas.

mama's bday falls in Dec too. a treat at Ding Tai Fung. sharing a few pics

my 2 faves - 虾仁 fried rice & 红烧beef noodle

fatty miu's $10 bcm which i teased her for days

and not forgetting the juicy 小笼包- another fave.

miu's candid expression 1: looking earnestly to make sure there's still food left for her

miu's candid expression 2: Hah! where's my bcm?!?

24 years later: i'll look like mum.

11 years later: miu will look like me. (errrrrrrrrrrrr......)

without papa

23 dec marks the 5th year with HJP. time really flies. another 2 years, we will be tying the knot. looking at the same date - 23 dec 2012. cos this marks the end of 7 years courtship (7 is a biblical number) & entering into a new pharse of the relationship. hopfully, will be able to get this date.

just a few wks ago, es asked: how do you know he is the one?"

my ans: as long as he loves & dotes on you. sharing the same values (which is the most important)

i hope she too will find the ans.
