Woke up, went house hunting, a Chinese ‘kampung style’ lunch, more house hunting and Prayers at the Thai Buddhist temple.

Loved the fact that life was so, for the lack of words, simple.

To a more simple 2012.

I have been planning a few challenges for the new year.

These are not resolutions though. Just some things that I have been procrastinating for the past few years that I feel it is about time I got around to doing.

Here is to me, trying to achieve these challenges.

Wish me luck!

The back you stab today, might be the ass you have to kiss tomorrow – There is a very funny story behind this one, ask me next time when you see me. Not sure how to write this down

Trust your guts and instinct – The fight or flight response is in us for a reason.

You do not always need to best fighter, however you need to be the best runner – I learnt this from my trainer.

No matter how old you get, your parents still know more than you do – I am not sure where to start with this one. But just trust me on this.

Don’t expect – Too much expectation wounds the heart. Had shed many tears regarding these.
