Looking back...My 2011

My 2011, has been really accomplishing, I should say!

• Took up a 1.5 years gym membership with California Fitness in July 2010, and it's expiring soon in Jan 2012! I've gradually increased my gym attendance from once a week (sometimes grudgingly and trying to pyscho myself out from going gym) till twice a week (and loving every moments of going to gym, and feeling out of odds and fat whenever I skipped a week!) The exercising makes me feels good! And I especially like the body combat class! Really shiok! But I will not be renewing my gym membership yet. Shall focus my priorities elsewhere next year.. But hope I won't grow fat once I stop exercising!
• Took part in JP Morgan Chase Corporate Run with my office buddy!
• Re-freshed my driving lessons under the personal coaching of the husb. Not too bad. But gradually I have stopped being enthu and started getting lazy... Opps! I wonder when can my resolution of "Be a confident and regular driver" will be realised?
• Our mother-and-daughter bond has become stronger this year when Kayla started to grow more attached to me. I feel more sense of "mother-satisfaction" as this bond grows stronger My efforts have finally started to pay off!

Other than feeling more accomplished, my life is 2011 was also pretty enjoyable!

• Caught 3 musicals/theatre shows in a year!
  

(Lion King was for my birthday treat, and Wicked was a couple date with husb. Beauty King was a "ogling-at-stripping-muscle-men" date with friends from office Heehee...)

• Went Japan and Gold Coast for the first time!

1. Japan-Tokyo: I always dreamed of going to Japan, and our wish came true in March 2011! We took a 10 Days 9 Nights F&E tour in Tokyo and had luckily escaped from a massive tsunami and earthquake that happened on the day we returned to Singapore. It's a nanrrow escape for us, and fortunate blessings for the 3 of us. We had enjoyed ourselves during this trip in Tokyo & Disneyland too.
   
2. Gold Coast: It's our second time to Australia, but our first in Gold Coast, and our first full self-drive trip. Still prefer Japan. haha.
   

• Couple dates!

Our husb-and-wife relationship has gradually improved towards the lower half of the year as we grow more loving, established more communication, maintained more patience with each other. And of cuz' the couple dates help! Regardless lunch/dinner dates, movie/musical dates, it's all about spending time with each other. There are more hugs and kisses, more TLC given. I realise the underlying rule is "The more you give to each other, the more it gets returned" I look forward to a more harmonious and loving relationship with the husb in the many more years to come!

Oh! Next year is our 十年 together-ness! My goodness! How fast time can pass... Feel so old with each other... But I've glad that with this 10 years, he is now my family, someone who will always stand by me with no strings attached.

To a brand new Year 2012 whereby I will be turning 30 years old, I hope I will:

• Spend more quality time with my own family, and my close friends
• Continue giving TLC and patience to my husb and daughter, and be a dutiful and good wife and mother to them.
  
• Staying healthy and FIT (if possible!)
• Bring Kayla more for outdoor and healthy activities instead of always going gai-gai in shopping centres
• 成功做人！
