The Last Day of 2013

We're finally here.

31st December. Day 365. The last day of 2013.

How was your year?
I certainly hope it was one with much love and growth. :)

Anyways, although I'm always a little reluctant to say goodbye, there seems to be something promising and hopeful of a new beginning.

I used to do this with friends, but I guess I'm the only one left in the running in making predictions for the new year. I say predictions because I was a huge fan of One Tree Hill (stole the idea from Haley and Lucas), and predictions are something you think most likely will happen; because you take one year of working on yourself and towards your goals, instead of resolutions where it seems less likely to stick long term...? Or it takes that much more willpower to fulfil a resolution. I don't know. So!

2014 Predictions:

- I ate healthier/cleaner
- I have a hotter body! Fit/lean/toned (Gosh been repeating this one for years heh)
- Le Prince and I are stronger together
- I became a stronger person
- I had a huge growth
- I love what I do - my job, my side job
- I saw the world more
- I spent Christmas in London with Le Prince
- I (Le prince, too) grew closer with my family and have learnt to treasure them more
- I learnt to/became a better friend
- I was invited to Korea by Le Prince to meet his family (Oh gosh huge one!)
- I love life
- I am happy

I guess that's about it. Not too far-fetched right?

Will check back in a year and see what happens! :)

Yesterday on the eve of NYE I went shopping with my good friend Rikun :) No pictures of her because my camera died on me just as I was about to leave the house. :(

OOTD! But it's not a very exemplary photo because you can't really see what I'm wearing inside and I'm still in room slippers. I am sorry. Haha.

So this was what I bought!

100% cashmere sweaters for Le prince and myself!

Guess where they're from? ...Uniqlo!

I know what you're thinking, because you wouldn't usually expect this from an economical brand like Uniqlo, but no, they really are 100% cashmere! I mean, it was initially 7990yen at its original price but it was 5990yen for guys (SGD72) and 4990yen (SGD60) for girls at a limited new year's sale!

Worth it or what!

Okay, given that it's my first time ever owning a 100% cashmere item, I don't know much about the quality, but I really can't complain it feels so damn soft and comfortable to wear!

Incidentally, the sweaters make up the main colours of Christmas. Not that I'm complaining (still suffering from X'mas withdrawal symptoms). Mine's the forest green! It looks navy blue, only because of the lighting + my lousy photography skills. Hur.

One more pretty picture with the Harris Tweed pouch Moni Per gave me for Christmas - the colours all go so well together!

And, although it's going to be a leeeeetle lonely I will be spending this New Year's alone, I'm so excited for it's finally this weekend that I'm going to Seoul and I'll get to see Le prince again! :') 

Previously (omg it was this year Feb) when he went back for 2 months +, I was a wreck, I cried a lot and felt very lost without him. I know I know, it's bad and depressing and seriously unhealthy, but this time, I just did my own stuff and time flew! It's so nice to receive little texts from him too, everyday, saying he misses me and even saying that it feels like weeks has passed when it has only been days, without me with him! Hehe okay sorry la no more mush.

I guess, even if it's hard being apart, you really only realise your appreciation for that person when they're not around; and seeing those texts/messages make it all worth it. And those words/thoughts won't come unless you're both in different places, right? ;)

Going to give him his sweater all wrapped up pretty, I really can't wait!

Goodbye, 2013... So much happened but I am thankful for everything this year gave/didn't give me. 

Happy new year, everyone, I hope 2014 will be nothing less than a stunning year for you, filled with lots of love and happiness!
