2014 - An exciting year ahead

Before I could blog about 2013, it's already 2014... of course, if I want to cheat, we are still in 2013 based on the lunar calendar. The snake will only give up the throne to the horse, on 31st January 2014.

This gives me about 30 days more to blog on the happenings and things that I am grateful for in the year of Snake.  Needless to say, the biggest gift that I've ever got in 2013 was the birth of my darling, Ada.

She has made both Liang and I stronger, and a better person. It was the obstacles that kept 3 of us bonded when Ada went through some difficult times when she was born. I'm glad that everything is over and she is a happy baby now, and hope that none of those unhappy encounters will ever happen again!


Moving forward, 2014 might be another year of big purchases, if we get to collect the keys to the home that we gonna call it OURS! Big tickets purchasing have started since we got married in 2012, gave birth in 2013 and then, new house in 2014! Whew... Although we do not have a huge savings, we managed to get through these stages without feeling suffocated! Everything we did, it's within our means...

Then, before we know it, we will be celebrating Ada's turning 1!!! I'm still contemplating if we should do any celebration or do it privately! Any proposed idea for consideration?

Back to the topic, 2014 also meant that from now till she turns 1, we will continue to grow and explore new things with her. Such as upgrading her food from milk to puree to chunky bits and full solid! Teaching and seeing her to crawl, walk and run and listening to her babbles to learning how to form proper words!

Such experience can never be compared with anything else in the world and I guess all parents would feel the same. Although I can understand how much parents wants to be around for all their child's first time, I can't be a stay-home mum, not for now maybe? I've been compensating my time with Ada by knocking off on time and taking care of her on my own over the weekends and holidays.

Enough said about family matters and Ada, it's time to get personal!

Can't wait for holidays actually, and the first one to come will be in March, to Phuket! Then, in May, to Hong Kong (HK)! Yeah! Oh… I have not uploaded anything about Taiwan trip 2013~ Backlogged!

Been wanting to do something but I'm really lacking confident to do it on my own! It seems like there is going to be so much hurdles if I'm going to work on it! Think think think… self-checking before jumping on it. Not getting young anymore and I know if I don't work on it soon, I'll lose the energy to do it in a few years time. Want to know what exactly it is? I'll update if I decided on it!

Meanwhile, life will go on as usual~
