Ciaossu,
I know it's late but HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone:D!!! According to the Chinese Lunar calendar, 2012 is the year of the Dragon, the most prosperous animal(or should I say mythical creature) in the chinese zodiac. This year, we can look forward to better harvests, improved relationships, improved finances, etc.

Well anyway I still don't feel the start of the new year yet since school starts later for me compared to all my friends in other schools so I'm just enjoying an extended holiday. The holidays have not been very fruitful but I have managed to receive adequate rest. My only hope is that my brain still functions and that it will be able to accept all the new knowledge I attain this year and next. These 2 years are about to be one of the most important years of my life as they will determine the course I qualify for in University and also my future career path. I really hope that I'll get the ideal subjects in Junior College so wish me luck people:)

My dad's birthday is coming up soon but I still haven't decided what I want to do for his birthday this year. If you have any suggestions, please leave me a tagg^^ He will be turning 53 this year...

Well I must say time passes really quickly, yet another year (2011) has come and gone. While 2011 left behind many sad memories, like the earthquake-tsunami disaster that escalated into a nuclear crisis in Japan on 11 March, what hasn't killed us has made us grow stronger. It is useless to wallow in self-pity over the misfortunes of 2011. Let us keep the beautiful memories of what has happened last year and forget the bad ones. A new year signals a new beginning^^ Start the year optimistic and stay optimistic:) It'll make life so much easier to bear. Well...in the end...easier said than done but keep trying anyway^^

Life has been filled with miracles this year and I thank God for all of them from the bottom of my heart. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. I learnt this line in St John's Ambulance Brigade and yes it does apply to everyone on Earth. Keep believing things will get better and while this might not seem to be coming true at first, believe in God and he shall show you his magic^^ I know not everyone's christian so no offence^^ I just love God:D It's my choice. Well anyways, whatever you believe in, never give up HOPE^^

Frankly I think I've totally been crapping in today's post but please continue bearing with me and reading my blog:) I believe that there is no key to happiness because happiness exists and is always right around you. It's whether you choose to see and hold on to this happiness that makes a world of a difference. Staying happy is an ongoing process that has to be maintained throughout your life. Always count your blessings and keep believing that life has more to offer:D Money might bring you happiness, but such happiness won't be long-lasting. Build everlasting friendships/ relationships this year, maintain a healthy lifestyle and go chase after the happiness that is right in front of your eyes:)

Cheers to the year 2012^^ God bless everybody^^

Lots of love,

Elizabeth XD
