Last Saturday marked the beginning of the Year of the Rooster… Happy Chinese New Year 新年快乐! Each year, my family generally celebrates by exchanging lucky red packets and ordering a Chinese takeaway. However this year, along with last year, I wasn’t with my family and so celebrated in a different way. I didn’t have anything … Continue reading
We’re three days into the New Year so I thought it’s about time I let you all know what my Goals are. I prefer to use this term rather than ‘Resolutions’ simply because I know that I will never stick to resolutions. Goals are more definable: goals are things that you can work towards, achieve … Continue reading

The day started with a lovely message from my Mum telling me where she hid … Continue reading
I’ve kept a year-long journal/diary on and off for most years of my life. For 2015, I want to write something down every single day. Even if it isn’t a page full of writing, I want to at least write a couple of sentences about my day. I want to be able to look back … Continue reading
Since the New Year is upon us, I thought I would share with you some of my resolutions goals. If you’ve been following my blog from the very beginning, you will know that I had initially made 2014 resolutions (and quite a lot of them) which I may or may not have managed to keep. I think I’ve … Continue reading
