Happy New Year 2013!!

Almost 3 days have passed since 'Happy New year' wishes are acceptable, but then I couldn't wait to start the new year with some quality lazing around. 

 Then I had to familiarize myself with writing 2013 instead of 2014 just because it really seemed like time passed so fast. 2012 has been jam packed of happenings that I can't wait to fill 2013 with equally or more significant happenings. 

 In 2012, we bought our first humble abode. It wasn't the most significant of place but at least it is a place of comfort when I feel home sick. In June/July, we moved into the place and started marking our territory. It felt good until spring came and we had to do weeding... >.<  

And we organized our wedding banquet! It is sad that we had to postpone almost 1-1.5 years for our actual wedding banquet. I blamed it on my research commitment and boy was I happy that this year was also the year that marked my official resignation from it. Just like cream does not agree with everyone, such is research not suited for every human being under the sun! I still can't believe it took me soo... long to resign because I have been so unhappy about it for soo... long. That just goes to show how fast time flies!! Anyway, back to wedding... it may not be the most ideal one I had in mind; it was still beautiful. I remember on the 12th and 13th of October, I was raking my brain on how to express my gratitude to each and every one who came. They would tell me the day is mine, I shouldn't thank them. That alone just showed how awesome they are! And I had to thank my hubby, of course. I once told him half jokingly and half seriously that I wanted to get married at the age of 24 and though I may forget, he certainly proposed when I was 23 and we got married when I was 24 (ticked one more item off my list). 

And who could forget Poochy? This year I finally felt at home for the first time in so many years in Perth because I finally have a complete family here! Hubby is now papa and Poochy is now my baby. And who could discount out those awesome girlfriends who continuously inspire and motivate me? You are all now aunties to Poochy! lol... 

But 2012 has come with its low times as well and in every thing, we find our lessons and learn more about ourselves. 

It would be easy to make new year resolutions now and then continue on as if nothing had changed; what's more difficult would be to make new year resolution at needed intervals in the year. So I am not going to bore you with new year resolution, I think it would be far more conniving to divulge in life's little cheat! 

Example:

1. Conditioner can be a very effective, cheap, and convenient shaving cream! Before you go wagging your finger with a smirk on your face thinking I shave some place that I don't, I say this because I can NEVER find the right shaving cream or foam for *a-hem* someone and then it stays on the cabinet and we women should know, one item laying waste on the bathroom cabinet is another space wasted!! (I can put another skincare product there, for crying out loud! *drama queen full on*)

2. If you are lazy to buy lint remover, worry not because a good pair of scissor is more than enough! 

3. Use lip tint and lip balm for a more natural and long lasting color on the lip. 

4. When in need of small talk material, talk about the weather!

5. And don't forget to use concealer! Enough said. 

Here's to wishing each and every one out there HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
