Since my last post...

My paternal grandpa passed away (during CNY). He got really ill in December, almost after the time when I resigned. So it has been countless trips in and out of the hospital for him and our family. His heart was slowly failing, and it was getting more challenging to care for him. He managed to pull through twice in the intensive care, when all doctors told us to be prepared, he miraculously pulled through. I think he was looking forward to CNY. But unfortunately, he had to be admitted again about 2 days before CNY eve, and he never made it back home and passed on the 5th day of CNY. I guess it was for the best. During the last days, we saw him in so much pain, it saddened us very much. As I'm typing this now, its already been more than a 100 days since he passed away :(

Anyway, after my grandpa's funeral was settled, it was my time to get busy with the new house stuff. Our schedule was quite delayed as we expected to get the keys earlier, but didn't. Then CNY came and most contractors took long breaks, so we had a lot to catch up with. Choosing our contractor, materials for our kitchen cabinets, tiles, making decisions to hack walls, drill holes, patch up stuff, paint works and the list goes on. I think our least favorite was dealing with the lights and curtains. We had no idea where to start and what to look for. The hardest part was also trying to keep within the budget with everything. But we're almost there. In these two weeks, we'll be waiting for stuff to start wrapping up. I can't wait to clean up and start moving in! *happy happy joy joy*

In the midst of the renovation chaos, I still managed to squeeze in a 4 days 3 nights Bangkok shopping trip with my mom and sis, plus a 6 days 5 nights Taipei holiday with my girlfriends. Hubby was quite upset that I left him back in Malaysia alone. Hehe~ But no worries, I'm definitely packing him along for the next one in June - off to Club Med with another 2 couples! All the shopping must give it a rest. Time for relax, sun, sea and beach....

I have been quite uninspired to blog since returning to KL. But I just realized that I actually have followers to my blog and there were so many unread comments on some of my backdated blogs. I'm so sorry I've got no fancy pictures or blog design (I'm quite a technology idiot) to impress and worse of all, I've been lagging in blogging cause I just can't seem to find the motivation. Maybe cause my life is still settling right now (or maybe cause I'm just full of excuses). But it was very overwhelming to see support from strangers from other parts of the world leaving comments on my blog. I need to revive my writing skills (if I had any to start with). Thank you all.

Happy New Year! 2 0 1 2

The year 2011 is over just like that! I haven't been inspired to blog over the past few months and was contemplating on starting a new blog, but obviously this very first blog of mine is too precious to be abandoned just like that.

2011 has been an eventful one for me. I was settling into living with my family after 6 years of being away. Then I got married. Went for almost a 2 week long honeymoon in Italy. Moved in with my in laws. Started a new job (yes I found a job in October month) and resigned in the span of 2 months. Went for 2 different 10km runs for the first time in my adult life. Caught up with more sewing (a new found hobby :) ). Received the house keys to our new home just 2 days before 2011 ended.

As usual, the new year hasn't exactly settled into the system yet. But I can't wait for all the things which is gonna happen in 2012. I have already booked holidays to Bangkok and Taiwan plus a Redang Island trip in planning process. Gonna start the exciting works on the new house and hopefully be able to move in by end March :) Have some business plan ideas which hopefully will finally carry out this year too!

What's installed for you this new year?

To infinity and beyond!~ Cheers :)
