Once a Manchester United fan, Always a fan

It's definitely a heart-breaking season for all Manchester United (Man Utd) fans this season. Even those who don't watch soccer would know that it's definitely not a season for us.

When the season got started, I told myself it's transition period under a new manager. We will need a few games to "warm up" and we'll be back stronger like winning for the remaining games in the season. However, things were not looking any better for us especially when Rooney and Robin Van Persie are out due to injury. Every match seems so difficult to win, even at Old Trafford. Theatre of Dreams has become Theatre of Nightmare. Every other team comes to Old Trafford with no fear, but with the great anticipation of winning us. It's that bad.

For the fans, we watch each match with anticipation and with fear too. We hope to see our team back to winning games. On the other hand, whenever we play them play, we fear that we will lose the game (again). And every time when they lost a game, I would feel so heart-broken to go to work. Now then I realize, your team's performance will affect your mood. We are so used to win as a Man Utd fan that we feel really upset when our team lose a game. I guess we have been pampered for too long under the reign of Alex Ferguson. It's time for us to stand by our team and our manager now no matter what.

We are out of FA Cup, Capital One Cup now. Currently, we are at No. 7 in EPL. Hopefully, with Mata and our star players - Rooney and RVP back, we can finish top 4 of EPL. As for Champions League, it would be perfect if we really are lucky enough to win it

Glory Glory Man Utd!

A new IC

In Singapore, the first birthday present from the government after you've turned 30 would be the privilege to change your IC if you have not done so since Primary School.

And so, I've made my new IC and even collected it today. Nowadays, ICA is really very efficient. I had submitted my application online on Saturday and I received the notification to collect it on Thursday. And I could collect my IC without half an hour from my appointment time. When I was at ICA, I also met Tianbao and Yongquan who were there to collect their new IC too. =p

New IC in a brand new year. And a fresh start! =p

Life is going on as per normal in 2014

I find it amazing that today is already 18 January 2014 (By the way, Happy Birthday to Jay Chou and Melody!). 18 days of 2014 passed by quickly though the weekdays are totally too draggy. I had been really busy at work since the beginning of 2014 to the extent that I'm feeling so tired everyday. And I am so tired that I dread going to work everyday. =( Hopefully, things will get better eventually. And I hope to go for a holiday though it's only January! Ah!

As for training, I have been feeling so tired that I feel that I have not much energy to run long distance. So far, the longest distance that I had run so far is 8km? I have only been doing 3-4km for the past few training sessions. Need to step up the training for the next few weeks. But, before that happens, I guess I got to stop feeling so tired every weekend. Also, I weigh about 43kg these few days. It's time to eat more healthy and run more! Angie, Jia You!

We are just about 2 weeks to Chinese New Year! I'm so excited to feast! Haha. I really enjoy all the CNY goodies and food. I have been a good girl so far as I have not touched CNY goodies like pineapple tarts, prawn rolls and love letters. But, I have been eating quite a bit of bak kwa - eating so much that I probably won't be eating much during CNY. I need to save my stomach for other food! Haha.

Other than that, there isn't much to update. I guess I shall update you again soon! =p

Happy 2014

It's first day of 2014! As per every new year's tradition, I would go for a run in the morning to mark the start of a good year ahead. And this year, Jianhui and I went for a run around Bukit Panjang before we took a bus to Bukit Timah Food Centre for happy breakfast!

We had fried carrot cake and Jianhui's favourite chee cheong fun! There is a long queue for the chee cheong fun stall and true enough, it's quite nice! Jianhui has finally found his chee cheong fun! We can finally eat something not so expensive and fattening! Hehe. After our breakfast, we went back home before going Teck Whye for lunch. In fact, we have been eating non-stop today which means it is a good start for 2014. Haha. Abundance of food symbolizes prosperity, isn't it?

My New Year's Resolutions
I have been making New Year's Resolutions every year on the first day of each brand new year. This year is no exception. Nevertheless, what I hope to achieve will be constantly checking my resolutions to ensure that I am able to achieve them and not repeating the same resolution year after year.

Family
To me, family is very important. In the year 2014, I hope to spend more time with my family, especially my 2 grandmas who are not that young anymore. Uncle Raymond passed on in 2013 due to Leukemia and it makes me realize we should really spend more time with our family before it is too late. Busy is an excuse. In 2014, I would like to spend more time with my family. Also, I hope that I would have more time after to cook for my husband too!

Health
You may have everything but without health, you are nothing. In 2013, my health had not been too good ever since the extraction of my wisdom teeth. I was having bad stomachache on Christmas even and Christmas Day. Thanks goodness I am feeling much better now. Hopefully, in 2014, I would eat more healthy food, less fried food and cut down of junk food. Oh yes, I must eat more fruits and vegetables! In 2014, I would continue to run and hopefully, I would be able achieve more PB for my races! And yes, in 2014, I must train harder instead of running 2 loops round Senja! Jia You!

Work
As for work, I must be more focused and be careful not to make mistakes at work. In 2013, it had not been a good year at work for me with issues every now and then. In 2014, I hope that in terms of work, it will be a better year for me! Pay rise & huge bonus! As for promotion, I doubt it would be this year and so I just ask for a good pay rise or maybe a better career opportunity! =p

Money
I did not get to save much money in 2013 due to huge outflow of funds for renovation loan and travelling expenses. In 2014, I hope that I can cut down on expenses (especially shopping expenses) and save more money. For January and February, I guess it is difficult to cut down on expenses due to CNY. So. hopefully, after February, I can start to save money.

Travel
One would definitely go crazy if one keeps on working with no rest. In 2014, I still hope to go for holidays to take a break. Especially when I have been feeling so stressed at work, I guess I would need to take a break occasionally. I guess it is unlikely we will be going for a long holiday in 2014, but I guess short holiday should be not too difficult to plan. =p

Let's look forward to a Happy 2014!
