 Twenty-Twenty Four. Year-In-Review.

It's 2026, and im finally working on my 2024 year in review.
Joke. Idk what took me so long, but i just didnt have the feels to do it. 
Anyways, let's see if i can recall anything from the images. 

Jan
Celebrated Kaylaa's 4th birthday, such a big girl now. 
Another cruise trip. 
I love collecting the cruise seapass cards. 
Mandatory shot on the cruise.
Oh yah, this cruise was the 11D cruise. 
We went to Vietnam on the cruise. 
Nah, i didnt like Vietnam.
Ohh, and my close friend got married. 
You know it's like marrying off a sister. 
Then a trip to Taiwan with Chrysan. 
Obviously had to go and pay a visit to Yue Lao Gonggong.

Mar
Finally met my friend on a job. Hhaaha
Peppa Pig Musical in Hong Kong Star Hall. 
One for the memory because i've never done or watched a show in Star Hall before.

May
Went for a 3D2N JB trip with the lil girl. 
I miss sleeping with her. Hahahah
Also, the HONEYs finally met up. 
So nice seeing all of them again. 

June
Went to HKG with the lil girl.
Forgot how many times i've travelled with her alrd.
Yay, a picture with Mickey. 
And the a buffet dinner at Embu Mandarin Oriental.

July
Stayed over at my Sister's place because my BIL went overseas for work.
Early morning bring lil girl to school.
Did some exercise. But sadly it didnt continue after.

November
Yes, met up with the HONEYs again because LF was in town. 
He is still so dashing after so many year. Wahhaha.

Dec
The usual routine in December - i will always be in SH the first week.
Had our very own dnd at Astor Grills - so good.
The Alaskan Crab was so so good.
Did my idol's concert! Although i was only on the e2 without much cues.
Hahahah. But yay, i managed to see them in Singapore!
Oh yah, and LTM's closure...
They finally decided to close off LTM after so long.
Sigh. 
Definitely sad to see his legacy gone like that, 
but i think 天下無不散之筵席...

Okay, that's all for my 2024, i think. 
I hope the 2025 one will be up soon, and not wait until 2027 then i do.
Hahahhaa.

 Twenty Twenty Three - Year-in-Review

Wow, i just realised i have yet to do up my Year-in-Review for 2023, and 2024 is coming to an end. I have all the photos ready, but i didnt really sit down to pen all thoughts down. What... Oh wells. 

I think January flew past before i knew what was happening...
Chinese New Year's gathering at my 4th Uncle's place. 
Things are rather different seems the passing of my Grandmother. 
Nobody seems to be bringing everyone together alrd. 
It's kinda sad.
Also Chinese New Year's gathering at my Small Aunty house!
So glad we are still meeting each other every year.
Although we dont see everyone so often...

No idea what happened in Feb and March... 
Old alrd, memory is shit. LOL
Went on the long awaited Korea trip with the 3 ladies.
And i was being a bitch to send in my resignation just before my flight. 
LOL.
But honestly, i think i made the right decision to leave...
I have my thoughts in my draft. Seems like it doesnt matter anymore.

So yup, the Korea trip. 
Same thing, i dont exactly remember what happened then...
But the epic moments are, me saying not being able to sleep, 
and then next moment they told me i was snoring liao. Opps. 
A very demure me.
We do jumpshot ah, just jump!
After taking the shot, we zoomed in to all our faces. 
ALL STARTED LAUGHING. 
Oh yah, and i did my hair in Korea. 
Hahahha. Cheap and good.
Photos are really a good reminder of what happened at that moment. 
So we should start taking more photos!
Oh yes, then i left LTM. 
This was the first show i did after coming back to freelance, in May. 
I remembered Rush asked me to drop all the Bosses a hi, because out of sight = out of mind. 
I need to remind them that im back to freelancing. Hahhaha. 
I really did that!

Then i went on a holiday trip to Perth, Australia with my Sister's family. 
Of course with my niece. Hehhe.
First cow milking experience.
Took a picture with the Koala.
My Sister took this photo of my niece and me. 
So cute, this has been my wallpaper since.
Another one. 
Then we took a photo together.
Little girl is so cute.
She shared the bed with me. Wahahha. 
But she rolls here and there, 
i had to wake up in the middle of the night to check on her.
Forgot when was this though, i think it was after the Perth trip.
But, i might be wrong. 
Had a staycation with the lil girl in September, 
because school closure for Teachers' Day. 
Then a visit to Michelle's place. 
So cool lorh, she has a KTV room in her house. Hahhaa.

Fast forward to December. 
The mandatory shot when in Shanghai...
Lost count how many times i've been there liao. 
The team for Agency of the Year, Greater China 2023.
The team for AOY SG 2023.
Oh yes, back track to September.
I took in Orangey ( He was called Brad previously )
People posted in the Facebook group that he was found by the canal near my place. 
We decided to take him in. 
Wahahhaha.
And now, i have 2 cats. 
Still fighting even until now.
Idk how to make them friends. 
And then there's this photo. 
Hehehhe. 
Just look at the way the lil girl looks at me. 
So cute. Aiyoh!!
Such unconditional love for this lil girl. 

Okay, im done for 2023. 
It's always better late than never. 
I think i should prepare for 2024 year in review soon. 
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 
Bye for now. 

thhsamantha!
