It's A Wrap! Thank You 2013


A lot of people have remarked that 2013 is the fastest and shortest year. Time really does fly. i couldn't agree more. On this last day of 2013 i couldn't help but wonder where have time been and what have i achieved this year.

Getting nostalgic and melancholic aren't we?

Looking back, there have been many wonderful things/happenings/milestones happened this year and i would say that 2013 has been a great year.

1. We finally got the chance to visit my mum's sisters in the UK. I did not blog about this trip. Maybe one day. We had the amazing opportunity of visiting Cardiff and Bath. Beautiful country and i loveeeeeddd the cold.  Would really love to go back again one day.

That's us in Bath. That's my aunt Angela and her husband, uncle Phillips.

2. Professionally, i finally got a research article published in a local journal. it took me 2 years and draft after draft and after draft to write that article. 

3. After almost 3 decades of life, i finally have the courage to wear a bikini in public! its something monumental because i used to be fat and very insecure with myself. And since that first bikini in a private pool, i had 2 bikinications, Damai and Phuket. Looking forward for many more bikinications.

4. Had my first bikinication with dearest PIC in Phuket. There were many firsts for us while in Phuket. Pheww..eye opening trip i would say.

5. Oh i won 4 tickets to We Love Asia and get to see Pitbull in action! Its something big because i seldom win something. Oh the feeling of winning something you really wanted. Priceless.

6. After many2 months of contemplating, i finally joined a fitness centre and it's one of the best decision i made. i get to do zumba and dance fitness classes. dancing keep me happy and sane. Dance, getting fit and making new friends is so worth the monthly fee. 

7. 2013 marks the 10th years atiq, beth, martina, cosmas, mordi and i have been friends. Who would have guessed we'll be friends this long huh. Through many thick and thins, breakups, marriages and 2 little adorable princess later, we are still together. You guys have been super amazing!

8. Our dear cousin Albern got engaged and its so great seeing him getting grown up and responsible. The first in our 4 close-knitted clan of cousins to get engaged. 

9. I'm so blessed with many wonderful people in my life. My family. My friends. Near and far. Each and everyone of you is special and wonderful.

Remember i said the best new year resolution is not to have a resolution? haha. Perhaps i will not apply it in 2014. Here's to better me in 2014!

Happy New Year Everyone! Wishing you good health and many good things in the coming years.

xoxo,
Cynthia.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit.  Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu. ZAssssss So hari tu ada sorang minah ni baru 1st time iols nampak kat gym, tengah workout dengan bopren dia la gitu. Pakai sports bra je dengan really short shorts yang menampakkan ...

Indah Khabar Dari Rupa

"I suka tengok IG si anu anu ni. Selalu share parenting tips. Macam family goal." ujar bawang merah sambil dia scroll instagram sorang public figure Malaysia. "Hah!? Siapa? Si anu tuh? huh!!!! I ban mamat tuh!" sampuk si bawang putih.  Kemudian beberapa bebawang kat situ pun mengiyakan statement maut bawang putih. "Ye ye! I pun ban dia tu! So arrogant. Sombong!" ujar si bawang goreng. Kebanyakkan bawang-bawang ni pernah kerja dalam outlet yang sering dikunjungi oleh si  public figure ni  dan sudah tentu pernah  berhadapan dengan dia.     Semua berkongsi pengalaman yang sama, bahawasanya di public, si figure ni sering bermuka masam dan sombong. Tak pernah nak friendly. Mungkin dia ingat sales staff tak setaraf dengan dia. Bawang putih pulak menyambung "Hipokrit betul. Dalam IG dok share-share parenting tips bagai, tapi realiti 2 orang anak dia tu macam anak setan!" wahh marah betul bawang putih. Nak dijadikan cerita, anak-anak...

The Beautiful Malacca

St Paul's Church Malacca is probably my third favourite city. My first time visiting this amazing place was when i was 14 for a youth camp and has been visiting Malacca for countless times now. Day trips with friends or families,countless programs and courses over the years. It's probably that few coins i threw into the old well or an empty tomb on St Paul's Hill. Oh you know what they say about throwing coins and you'll come visit that place again someday. I love the old historical buildings, The Stadhuys, the architecture and colours of the building.  I love the food, the vibrancy of the town.  So the other day, my mum and younger sis was in town and we drove down to Malacca for a day trip.  14 years ago, those tall buildings were not there. It's kinda sad that a historical place like this is surrounded by modern malls and hotels. All in the name of progress i guess. The girl who thinks she is a professional dancer... R...
