Goodbye 2012

I'm back!

I know I've been MIA for a bit since I had so much to do..

Anyhoo, it's New Year's eve and or the past few weeks I've been working on my schedule for the year 2013.

It's gonna be an exciting year ahead!

Attended my post internship gathering.

It'll be goodbye for us soon..

Christmas was well spent with my partner and his family.

I shall let the pics below to speak for itself..

Christmas eve brunch

 Mocha

 Big breakfast at Plan B

Christmas..

 Homemade salad by Lisa

Her seafood pasta sauce was absolutely delish and I didn't snap any pics of it cause it was too good and soon before we realized it, the sauce in the pot has been emptied by us:)

I wish I can cook like her..

LOL.

(Should learn how to cook proper meals)

 No turkey but this is a great replacement for turkey.

Juicy crispy tender pork.

 Homemade chocolate cake and cheese cake for supper

 Our mocha

 Bacon pasta

Our post Christmas celebration and celebrating us:)

At Jarrod & Rawlins, Bangsar.

This time there were less selection of sausages to choose from.

The previous branch that we went to has been shut down unfortunately.

But this place is good too..

At least they still serve yummy sausages:)

 My bangers and mash with onion sauce

 Happy Jyun with purple Christmas tree

2012 has been a crazy year.

Although the year has been hazy for me since I don't remember what happened.

I know I've had a busy busy busy year.

I started the year working at the kindergarten and in between I was a tutor for the Myanmar refugee kids and I ended the year with my internship at Emmanuel Care Centre as a teacher aide for special needs children.

I realized how much I love teaching children.

I've also learnt what it was super difficult to teach special needs children but teaching them has been really fulfilling.

I've met and worked with people who left such a huge impact in such short time.
I am grateful for the opportunities given to me to develop the skills that I needed.
Mostly, I am really grateful to have a partner who is so very supportive of what I do.
And sometimes when I have doubts he was there to encourage me to be better and keep moving forward.
Thank you, Jyun so very much for sticking with me and being an absolute best friend when I need a friend.
Thank you for the adventure, the many laughter, and being such a great study partner:)
Thank you for being you. 

2013 is going to be quite a difficult year with so many big decisions to be made.

So bring it on 2013.

And goodbye 2012, you've taught me a lot but I have a lot more to learn.

The year 2012, so far...

9 days into the New Year.

And it has been rather eventful. 

I'm going to let the pics below to speak for itself :)

And I'm going to begin with.. 

New Year's eve.. 

I had brunch at Levain and packed Subway for dinner, 

Managed to skip pathetic bachelor night "party" (I don't know whose wedding is it anyway).

Stayed indoors, avoid the terrible crowd and traffic, 

Watched Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother :) 

Hung out with these two people..
My bro was checking out his new place,
Since he has to stay nearby his campus so yeah, he's rather busy too..

1st of Jan..

Barbeque gathering with the classmates.

The next day.... 

                           My sis, her friend, Jyun and I headed over to Genting..

Jyun and I agenda is to watch Freeze live magic show in Genting..

As for my sis and her friend, they wanted to go there for the rides

The show was AMAZING!

We couldn't snap any photograph during the show,

But we were both STOKED and MESMERIZED!

Throughout the entire show there were alot of wow's and laughter from the audience..

And we sat on the third row from the stage (since Jyun got us the VIP tickets).

It was our first live magic show on stage or on ice...

The performers were BRILLIANT! 

Made us wonder how long did they take to rehearse..

Wowness..

And it's full house on the day of the show, 

Worth the trip there despite of the insane crowd since it's the public holiday.

Yesh, we got really excited after the show,

So much so we couldn't get proper pics of ourselves after the performance =p

After the show...

We hung out at one of our favourite coffee place,

Yesh,

You got it.

Starbucks :)

Couldn't find Coffee Beans so Starbucks can do..

Jyun got his usual/our usual Dark Mocha drink

(He's hooked on the drink since I introduced him to that drink)

Also sort of turned him into a coffee lover.

*grins*

I got my hot Mocha drink since the weather is cold and I had the flu that time.

We passed by outdoors and decided to see how cold is it outside.

It was drizzling that night..

And jeez! It was extremely cold outside,

I can hardly feel my hands after that for a bit..

HAHA!

The Christmas deco were still around..

:)

 

Then it's back home..

Sis and her friend were playing Chubby Bunny in the bus on the way home..

=.=

The next day,

I had to work at the kindergarten.

First day of school for the children,

A handful came in screaming wailing crying REALLY LOUDLY.

I am not sure if "loud" is an understatement..

Cause some of their cries were ear piercing

I swear, I am not exaggerating. 

Now I understand why they need a few helpers to help out for a bit.. 

And I must say..

Children, despite of them being super adorable and funny,

It's not easy to handle them.

But, they can really make you laugh although they make your blood boils most of the time..
