I realized how when you are living in an apartment that makes you happy, one naturally becomes happy.
Have been cooking loads. Fried economical beehoon, steamed fish, fried eggs, soup, sweet potato soup, barley water, vegetables, steamed egg, curry chicken, sweet and sour pork.
Been fun. Have not felt this liberated in at least 2 years.
Definitely looking to close off this year. Had achived much, a bit more mature, a bit wiser and definitely less kan cheong as before.
I cannot recall when I have last spent Christmas in HK. I feel quite lucky to enjoy the chills of Winter during this magical season! :)
Happy Holidays!

Movie
I watched the Life of Pi in 3-D with C last weekend. Wow! How the cinema-going experience has gone up. In terms of quality and price. It cost 120HK ~ 18 SGD. I read the book, so this movie came pretty close. Key takeaways - never lose faith! God will always provide for you, even when the situation looks dire.
Indeed, I have been well provided for. The Chinese say this year of the dragon is 'fan tai shui' for those born in my animal zodiac. For believers, this year was said to be rocky for me. Work wise, health wise, and entering into a relationship had taken its toll. Family ties however have strengthened and money wise, no major upturn, but I have learnt to control my purse-strings tighter. I have learnt that fair-weather friends can come and go, but my family, parents will always be there for me.

Groceries finally discovered her word – the one word which describes who she is: ANTEVASIN, meaning “one who lives at the border.” It was a term to describe “a person who had left the bustling center of worldly life" to go live at the edge of the forest to seek enlightenment...looking toward the unknown.”
