2011 will be an unforgettable year!  The elections, my first adventure trip - trekked and encountered a snake in the dark, attempted tree climbing, made meaningful friendships, enjoyed tutoring and learning so many new things!

Indeed, God has blessed me with so many good things this year.  As this year is coming to an end, I really look forward to 2012 with hope.

Love,

Acquaintances with Benefits

When I was young (in upper primary), my birthday wishes were similar.  It was to have many friends.  That could be due to the fact that I am an only child and may feel lonely at times.  Thanks to my best friends (you know who you are), I seldom feel lonely.  I can easily identify who my best friends are.  They are people I would ask for opinions on important decisions I have to make, meet relatively regularly (at least bimonthly, quarterly) for chit-chat and my life would have been very different without them.

Here is an article from New Nation, an online magazine I read. Former MM Lee Kuan Yew: The Singapore vision is your vision, not my vision. Pam Petite
I believe that a person's life experiences will largely influence how they behave & react in any given situation. I believe that I have become more optimistic nowadays. Thanks to: 1) God, 2) boyfriend & close / good friends, 3) inspirational & motivational books, These 3 things really played a huge role lately; especially this year.

I know that "eliminate" seems like a BIG word, what I'm trying to put across is, don't let anything come between you and your dreams. To being wealthy is genuinely 1 of my desire.
