2021 Recap

-

My 2021 was definitely not all sunshine and rainbows but looking back my heart has chosen to remember more of the good ones: 

  • Consistent workout throughout the year

    I managed to maintain 3 - 4 workout sessions per week with one goal in mind - for health, be it physically or mentally. The key to maintain consistency is to turn workout into part of your lifestyle and most importantly, go for routines that you are comfortable with. I've tried multiple workout programs and I found these work best for me - Yoga with Kassandra and standing workouts from Chloe Ting. Sometimes when I don't feel like following instructions from the TV, I will hop on the cross trainer for 30-45 mins and of course walking the dogs help too! 

  • Completed my therapy sessions 

    At times I questioned myself why "waste" my precious weekend albeit just an hour to attend the therapy sessions. Yet, no regrets after completing a total of 8 sessions with the therapist. It helps me to understand myself better and learning skills to cope with stress as well as communicating with others. 

  • Relex Smile surgery 

    Finally took the plunge to have my eyesight corrected after almost 10years of hesitation. It's not so much of procrastination, I was purely lacking of courage. If you've watched Final Destination, you will know why but if you have plan to go for laser eye surgery, don't watch the movie before the surgery! I know it's fictional but yet ... And I would like to thank Bin for his monetary support 😊



  • Staycation with PMP 

    Thank you PMP gang for accompanying me for my first staycation after so freaking long. It's a chill trip with nothing planned but that's the fun part of it 🎉 In fact, I think that's the first time I had my staycation in Kuala Lumpur. 


  • Birthday Trip in Genting 

    Thank you Bin for the arrangement. Although I did not have high expectation but surprisingly, I managed to rest my mind, giving myself a break. Finally got to try Burger and Lobster! It's actually not bad but with that price tag, I don't think I will have it again anytime soon.

I am not sure if you read my blog. But, I want to write this out. I've been holding back my feelings and emotions because I don't want to put all the blames on you. It has been 5 months plus since I knew about your existence. I will never forget how I find out about you on his birthday. How you've tried so hard to contact him although you know clearly that he's with me so far away from Malaysia. How shaky was I when I find out about his betrayal. I put all the blames on him at the very beginning. He knows that he's a man with a gf but still he has chosen to betray me to be with you. It's his fault for not being honest and loyal enough. I was heartbroken, I know things will never be the same again. Do you know when I started to have hatred towards you? When you kept calling and smsing him at night - Europe time. Knowing that I will definitely be next to him. Sending intimate sms to him begging for his return. I know you were sad because he's no longer

Geramnya!

I've been receiving emails from different ppl asking me questions about Working Holiday Maker. I wouldn't mind at all and I am happy to help but when you were being asked the same question for more than 10 times, wouldn't you be annoyed? Plus, you can find most of the answers from the vfs website. (but of course, if you are my friend, I won't mind at all...wahahahaha *hint* - at least introduce yourself first, before bombarding me with lotsa questions!) The most frequently asked questions: 1) How much should I bring? I have X amount of money is that enough? I've answered this X amount of times and I believe it's being stated clearly on the website - as long as the money you have is enough to sustain all your expenses in UK for the first 2 months. I can only tell you the rough expenses in London but if you are looking to go somewhere else, you will really have do some research yourself. 2) I am working as XXX in Malaysia/ I have X years working experience in X fi

[Jordan] Wadi Mujib Reserve, Siq Trail

-

I didn't have any expectation for Wadi Mujib Reserve. I thought it would just be another ordinary water trekking trail under scorching sun. Yes, it's summer now in Jordan and we have just experienced 40°c a couple of days ago in the desert 😣 It was only at the Wadi Mujib Reserve Centre that we realised it's an adventurous trail with high water level and strong water current. In fact, it's canyoning that we need to do: climb, wade, abseil and swim at certain places! I was reluctant at first due to the hot weather and had doubts if I could complete the trail. But hubby was keen and my father in law is going too (he is in his 70s!), so there really was no excuse for me not to. My father in law who is an avid traveller and photographer The trail started with a climb down a rock. From here, the water level got higher as you walk/wade deeper into the canyon. At one point, I was almost swept away by the strong water current. I grabbed the rope as tightly as I can a
