Hello world

It's christmas :) As we get older, that magical feeling that surrounds christmas diminishes and it becomes a nice day to catch up with family and on some much needed rest and remind ourselves about the true meaning of christmas.

It's been a long year. One filled with numerous ups and downs. But i think overall, it's been a good year. There's just so much to look back on as 2012 draws to a close.

As we grow up, we learn what really matters. You learn how to pioritize things in life, you know what you want, what's important and how to let go of what's not and i think during this year a lot of things have really been put in perspective for me. Young and naive, we think we can work hard and achieve a lot of things in life, but at the end of the day, what really matters are the people around you, their happiness, your happiness and spending time with the people that matter to you most. A job will never bring the same fulfilment. Over the course of the year i've met so many people who have chosen that route and have as a result become grumpy and just never content with life and it's really quite saddening. In life, we can't have everything we want and you look around you and realize that the people who sacrificed life over job are those that are a lot more fulfilled, content with life, happy basking amongst the warmth of relationships that matter instead of chasing the rat race cause at the end of the day, you'll never be good enough, there's always going to be people ahead of you and even if you accumulate wealth, it's never going to be enough, you'll always want more. True happiness is found in contentment and knowing you're loved and treasured by the people around you who'll always be there for you.

Making life changing decisions is an extremely nerve wrecking thing. It's funny how nowadays when you meet up with people no one talks much about shopping and sales anymore cause everyone is so broke from buying houses or getting married.. haha all part of the process of growing up. Quarter of a century old...

So much has happened in 2012, so much to be grateful for :)

I'm grateful for how God has led me and guided me through this whole year through it all, family, boyfriend, friends :) For the good times, and the bad times that make you appreciate the good times... and all the things and situations that has helped me grow up to be quarter a century old..
