Mini Getaway Trip

Bonjour!

So how did you wonderful lovelies spent your New Years? No matter how or who you spent the arrival of the New Year, I hope you had a blast and made memories that will last you a lifetime.

It's the 3rd of January and I'm back at home with my usual routine. Everyone else is back at work and I'm home with mom while she goes on a New Year cleaning spree. I'm probably going to start with my revision for my upcoming paper which is my Insolvency Paper II on the 18th of Jan. I think I've been procrastinating enough and I'd like to see how it feels like to not have to rush to memorize every single case this time around. If it does me any good, it just might boost my motivation to not procrastinate for the next semester. But before that, I'd like to just jot some memories down here about my first couple of days of the New Year.

I mentioned in my previous post that I had plans to join the S/O (Significant Other) and his family for their annual New Year's Family Day at Karambunai. It was a blast. The accommodation was cozy, the view was breathtaking, the food was scrumptious, the fresh air was just what I needed to freshen myself up an the company were highly entertaining. We spent the days eating, swimming, chilling, talking, more eating and just having fun. It was mostly eating, tho. But it was a good opportunity for me to warm up to his family. I mean I've already accustomed myself to them within the 4 months of us dating so far, but the getaway trip really gave us that time to chill and just get to know each other a lot better. If anything, that trip made me miss my own big sister so much more than I already do jsut because one of his sisters reminds me of Sis Hana so much. We checked in in the evening of 1st January and were all ready to go and check out by noon of 2nd Jan.

After that my S/O drove me home but stayed for a little while. So we spent the rest of the evening just lazing around on the living room floor with my parents while munching on snacks.

All in all, it was a really good start to what I hope will be a really good year.

2017

Happy New Year!

So it's the beginning of a new year and I've done my reflecting in my last post. I'm sitting in the living room, as I wait for my S/O (significant other) to wake up and fetch me for a day of family time with his family. So I figured I'd drop by and leave a couple of words here to kick off the new year, and at least I can proudly say I've blogged for two days in a row.

I spent my last day of 2017 with breakfast at home with the parents and my S/O before leaving the house in the afternoon to attend a Kenduri Kesyukuran at Sutera Harbour. It was actually the S/O's invite but as usual, I was his plus one for the event. After that we rushed down to Beaufort to his dad's hometown just to drop by for a while. Topped up the night with dinner with his family and then he sent me home around 10PM. Basically, I spent my new year at home, snuggling up to mom and feeding her with the snippets or happening of the day and skyping my niece who's in Virginia. All in all, it was a normal New Year's welcoming.

Lets get down to the nitty gritty. New Year's resolutions. I personally believe in an all year round process of changing. I don't think that changing necessarily has to happen at the beginning of a new year, but I also feel like it's nice to refresh on some goals and targets at the beginning of the year just to keep yourself in check. Upon my previous reflection, I've realized that I have been so blessed with more than I possibly deserve. I feel like I really don't want anything more. But goals are the basis for improvement and there's nothing more that I want than self improvement.

1) Get through to my final year of LLB with my sanity still in tact.
2) Brush up on my communication skills.
3) Work on my Social Anxiety
4) Stop procrastinating
5) Start taking my savings seriously
6) Upgrade my relationship status (wink wink fingers crossed)
7) Learn to multitask better
8) Learn to handle my stress better
9) Be a better person than who I was before.

So all in all, my goals for this year is mostly just things that I'd like to see improve within my own self. I realize that I am far from perfect and although perfection isn't something attainable, I'd like to get as close to it as possible.

Happy 2017, everyone! May this year brings more blessings and happiness to each and every one of us.
