SbR

1. To enjoy my wedding preparation and home renovation.
I foresee the year 2011 to be the most exciting year (and possibly the most stressful year) of my life. Hence, I am hoping that I’ll enjoy the planning and execution without losing focus of the ultimate goal, to plan a wedding for myself, him and my love ones and that the wedding is just a prelude to a blissful marriage. The marriage should be our ultimate focus. As for home renovation, it is to build a place we can call home..

2. To enjoy my wedding despite all circumstances
Even if it rains, even if the caterer screws up, even if my florists screws up, I shall remain happy because I will be married to the man I love, the man who cherishes and cares.

3. To build a blissful marriage
Marriage takes effort to build and I am sure both of us will have a lot to learn.

4. To build a strong spiritual life for both of us
This is one area which I have neglected for the past years and I resolve to make our relationship closer to God.

5. To enjoy work and learn to excel in enjoyment
Year 2011 will be a challenging year in terms of work and I resolve to enjoy and excel in work!

I realize my resolution this year is really immeasurable. Hopefully, at the end of 2011 I will be honest while evaluating my 2011 achievements.

Here is a monthly highlight of my 2010!

January: Wrote my first New Year Resolution! Which I have successfully achieved 20% of it! HAHA. I will write one again this year just to remind myself of the important things in life.

February: We went Tokyo, Japan instead of Taipei, Taiwan and he proposed at a resort in Disneyland with a bunch of beautiful roses and the perfect ring!

March: I started my wedding planning and became obsessed with it (still am!). People around me hated or ignored me because of this (except Lyanna, who is a bride-to-be in making in March). I also took up a plan with Amore (which I have not been using much in recent weeks *guilty!*).

April: First company retreat to Beijing! I love my company for their focus in work-life balance and family values!

May: SbR randomly won some tickets (to some rides in Sentosa ) in a Nuffnang’s Blogger Family Pledge Movement ! I had a lot of fun with my family and relatives. There was one grumpy man who doesn’t like family outing and carnivals. This is still a bugging issue because I love it!

June: Alphania my long time friend got engaged! Weiyang ad Sijia my church friend got engaged! Colin and Lyanna got engaged! I was really excited! Finally bride-to-bes to share my obsession! Three happy news and one sad news. A friend whom I was a sister at her wedding in 2009 is getting a divorce.

July: We adopted Barley (previously Bali) and that was the best decision in our life!

August: It’s my birthday and he brought me to Dozo. It was mind blowing!

September: I locked myself out of hotmail account and did not set a secondary email address to it. It is in this month, I shall be out from the MSN world for the rest of my life! It is also in this month we decided to take a month long sabbatical from wedding preparation.

October: We attended our first Marriage Preparation Course conducted in our Church. It is through this lesson I come to know about his fatal attraction to me five years ago. My alpha-female characteristic, it was surprising and hilarious. We also celebrated our fifth year anniversary (our last official celebration, because on the 14 October 2011, I will be lying wide awake on my bed counting down to 15 October 2011 (our wedding day!).

November: Barley turned two and we went Taiwan! I’m blaming it on the travel bug.

December: CW and Lennel got their apartment at Prive, Punggol!  We also had our first company DND at RWS.

Wow. I traveled quite a bit in the year 2010! It was definitely an exciting year with the proposal and Barley! Now, I can’t wait for 2011 because it will just get better!

Plumber is going to move SbR to a new web host! Yay to a potentially stable somethingboutrenes.com!

Meanwhile do bear with us for the next few days if SbR fails to load!

Happy Friday in advance!

Goodnight World!

I have a lot of stuff to share here! At this rate it will take me weeks to finish sharing! Haha.

I finally received the first cheque from Nuffnang ad’s earning! It’s a decent amount! I would like to thank my two sponsors, my good friend CW and her beau and my plumber Lennel! Without them, I would not have somethingboutrenes.com and without somethingboutrenes.com I would not be able to have Nuffnang on my site and without Nuffnang I would not have this decent pocket money just in time for Christmas. Thank you!

I would also like to thank my readers who remained faithful to my random thoughts and irregular postings! Thank you for the clicks too!

Lastly, I would like to thank Jason for many of the wonderful photos taken (all the ugly ones are from my phone!) and for the interesting memories which contributed to the content of many posts!

Gosh, I am making $100 sounds like a million. HAH.

OMG my blog is finally up! It was dead for the past 4 days! I’m excited! Hah.

I just had a busy week! Will blog something soon another day! See ya!

My blog has been behaving really strangely recently! I can’t seem to upload any pictures using my laptop. I tried with 3 computers and it still didn’t work. When plumber used his comp it worked! Grr. I’m depressed because without pictures SbR is nothing.

// I can always use my iPhone but the picture resizing app sucks and it doesn’t allow me to insert pictures between text! AHHH

The last time I changed SbR header was 27 February 2009. That was more than a year ago. I need a new header. I’ll settle for this in the meantime while I look around.

Exactly a month ago, I concluded the poll with a 47% of my readers voting for “I totally adore it (wedding posts)! …” A month later, this number dropped to 38%, a whopping 10% decrease.

Fine. I get it! HAH. I should have set up a separate blog but I’m too lazy! HEHE.
