2012 New Year's Resolutions!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! I am sooo looking forward to 2012 as it's not only the year of the Olympics (wow 4yrs has zoomed past so fast as I can still remember watching the Beijing Grand Opening Ceremony!), but also the Year of the Dragon (most powerful animal out of the 12) where we will meet our last and final child! Woo hoo! I also have at least nine friends/families who are popping our dragon babies too and about 4 weddings to attend. Yay :)
So to begin this New Year, here are all of our resolutions for 2012:
1) Renovate the damn kitchen! - Yes our kitchen is waaaaayyy too small hence why it has made me hate cooking! so we are in the process of getting the renovations under way! Stay tuned ;)
2) Build our new house - Yes that'll be right, just when my new kitchen will come into fruition, I may have to wave goodbye to all of it!
3) Take my family to an island resort some where not in Australia or Asia and do nothing but relax (not too sure how to relax with an infant but heck I'm sure I'll manage some how.. just get me there!)
4) Buy a new car - Yes both of our cars are over 10 years old and in need of some newness!
5) Aim to go to church every single Sun!
Ok I've just looked at my list and I'm not sure how we can afford it all.. so I will be stoked if we managed to tick all of it by year end!
Here's to a very fruitful, Happy & Healthy New Year! *Gan Bei*

Thanking God.
Here we are on the last day of 2011. It has been a very enjoyable journey and I thank God every single day for all the blessings (big and small) He has showered upon my family, friends & I.
I thank God for good health over my family.
I thank God for my two beautiful kids whom melt our hearts every time!
I thank God for my husband who is in deed my best friend who puts up with a lot of my shortcomings (and vice versa of course ;).
I thank God for my dear friends who are so loyal and caring. When times are tough, I can really see how we have come to each other's rescue. When times are great, it has been such a pleasure to have celebrate it together.
I thank God for giving us the opportunity to see the world despite the fact that we have two young kids. Definitely not to be taken for granted..
I thank God for our parents who has always been our saving grace when we need babysitting. Looking after kids is hardwork and I can not thank them enough for doing this out of their own volition. I thank God
I thank God for blessing us with another beautiful gift in the making.
I thank God for all of His Love, His Grace, His Mercies, His Blessings.
I thank Him for all that He has done and all that He is about to do in the coming year 2012.... Amen.

2011 New Year's Resolution Review
Now that we are approaching Year end, let's have a look at whether or not we achieved our NY's Resolution for 2011.
1) Speak only words of affirmation & positivity - no criticisms & no negativity - We definitely improved this year vs previous years. But we can definitely still improve in this area.
2) Travel to Europe & bring the in laws to China for a holiday (this will be a stretch to do both!) - Ok we were originally going to take the in laws to China, but last minute, they said they didn't want to go.. so heck, we went to Europe just the two of us instead and had a time of our lives ;-p
3) Move into a bigger house!! (yes it will be a bitter sweet moment for me if this does happen cos I truly love where we live at the moment.. but we need a bigger place for the kiddies toys and clothing. Sigh..)
ok we were also close to doing this but the price of the new house was just not right. Instead, we are thinking of building a new house next year! Lord please let it happen in Jesus Name :)
4) Lose weight (for Mr M only cos I have no worries in that department thanks to b/f! Hopefully this point won't make it to 2012 resolution again :) - Ok let's skip this one as we all know that didn't happen!
5) Make baby #3? ummm more on that later. - Completed! lol

Happy Birthday Sweet Jesus
It's so sad how Christmas these days is all about Santa Claus, the turkey, the presents and everything else that is Not Jesus Christ.. if there was no Christ, there would be no 'Christ'-mas. Nor would there be Easter.. This song by one of my fav bands Kutless sums it all!
Merry Christmas Everyone & May the Peace and Joy of Christ be upon you all in 2012!
