As the 2013 curtain is drawing down, what are the events throughout 2013 that left an impact in your life. What changes you? Have you been nice to other people? Have you compliment anyone that they looked good in that hair cut? I mean do you actually appreciate that 1 year that you had? 

Well, bumped into a website that photographed all the touching moments in 2013.

As the 2014 sipping in, what have you achieved? I hope it will be a good year for me this time around.

Many things happened in between throughout 2013. Many drama scenes of course, new partner, got engaged in the simplest way I could think of, made new friends, explored new eatery, went for heritage visits around town and the list goes along.

Well, I'm pretty much looking forward to what's expecting me in the new year. I do hope that good things happen. Many big things awaits me in 2014. Lots of planning as well. And if I were to face any challenges in life, I'd hope God grant me the strength and perseverance.

So I presume many of you will be organizing New Year party cause I'm planning one for the first time and this time I'll be organizing together with my partner. I'm very much excited :)
To sum up what has my 2013 been like:

I like bright colours but my wardrobe is full with dark colours. What an opposite right? Well, in order to celebrate the new year, I'd like to look simple yet chic on New Year's eve. You can just mix and match what ever you have in your wardrobe. There is no right or wrong in fashion. It is you who define your own style. And for those who will be attending New Year's eve dinner and party, find something that will make you comfortable. Trust me, you'll thank me later.

Find something which is 'movement' friendly. I know that when you're with your friends, you laugh a lot, as well as at times you tend to make a fool out of yourself. So find an outfit which is 'fool' proof. So my suggestion is to wear pants because I know I am one of that many fools that you will meet in your life.

 You can replace the heels with flats. You may be standing for the whole night during the party, opt for something comfortable. Cotton based shirt will be the best because it beats out the heat from your body. Party place will be pack with people so we know the fact that sweat will come into the picture as well.

For those who will attend new year dinner, you can go for heels as you do not need to stand unlike parties.

Something I would like to share with all readers. A note written by Brad Pitt on how he deals with Angelina Jolie's post depression. Sweet and one of a kind man isn't he?

I'm a very emotional person. I cried about anything. I cry when I'm happy sad, stress, touched or what ever. BFF Alla and Adelyn decided to play a prank on me knowing that it's gonna be my birthday. Alla had her engagement yesterday. I have been pestering her to invite another one of our BFF since high school, Adelyn. Knowing that she'll be home for Xmas on the 24th, I told Alla that it's too late to send a message to Adelyn to inform her on the engagement. 

When the event was over, I went to the kitchen to hang out with Alla's family member. Then Alla called me because she wanted me to meet someone. So I excused myself to the hall. I was sooooooo surprised that I cried!. Adelyn was standing at the hall with her parents. I hugged her and cried. I couldn't hold my tears.I was overwhelmed and I can say that this the best birthday surprise for the year 2013.

They're truly my best friends. I'm truly blessed with these people in my life. Pretty much looking forward to year 2014. Many exciting things awaits me!!!

Being a mum and working at the same time is not an easy task to execute. You're expected to deliver your task in an organization and at the same time, taking care of your kids. It'll be even harder if you husband is working as well, just like you. 

In one of the statistic posted in The Huffington Post, in the United States, around 40% employees are basically mothers with families and some of them are the main bread winners of the family. So how do you juggle between your corporate world and spending quality time with your husband and kids. No one in this world is perfect and mothers are not an exception. Mothers are a little bit different compared to other women. Mothers tend to do things differently and everything that they do revolve around their kids. Mainly because they're being protective towards their children.

Becoming a working mother is like participating a triathlon. You're trying so hard to get to the finish line and you do whatever it takes to make sure you reach to the finish line. I know it's not easy, time consuming, patience, hard work and it's a very tiring job. 

For those who would like to know, I've been reading a lot on A Cup of Jo. A blog about lifestyle, motherhood, life balance and food. They way she manages her life and her family is just extraordinary. Great tips on just about everything. You can read more on how she balance her life as a blogger and a writer. Read about her biography here.

I'm as sad as you when Monday comes. Not that I hate Monday. But it takes another 4 days to reach the weekend. Sometimes you feel like the time past so quickly but sometimes you feel like, 'Oh no, it's only Tuesday?'

Well, there are a few tips that you can practice to ward off that dreaded Monday you've been complaining about. These are the things I normally do except for the healthy eating part :)
