Wow! I can't believe 2019 will be over soon and we are stepping into the next decade...So, how has your year been?
Every December is a time I do some self-reflection and write down my new year's resolution.
Well, 2019 has been a very busy and challenging year for me, however, there are many business opportunities, rewards for the hard work and incidents that help broaden my perspectives about life and I learn to be more appreciative of the people around me.
Despite the busy schedule this year, one of my biggest accomplishments for 2019 is forming a Ukulele Jamming/Interest Group that I named it, 'UkerManics'. I feel very honored to teach Ukulele at the RC and bringing music to our neighborhood.
As a founder and the leader of the group, I am very excited and look forward to the upcoming New Year's Day performance with my fellow members. I can't wait to perform on stage again and I hope the group would expand in the near future.
Today, I wrote down some things that I hope to achieve in 2020. Personally, I believe in planning ahead and setting goals every year because that helps me to stay focused and motivate myself to be better,
so here's the ultimate list...😊
Mandy New Year's Resolution for 2020 :
1. Spend more time with my family & people I love
2. Learn a new skill
3. Do more sports
4. More vacations
5. Have more patience
6. Less nagging. (LOL!😅)
7. Sleep early / Get more beauty sleep
8. Write new songs
9. Do what I love
10. Live a happier & healthier life
Looking back at 2019, I realized that every mistake and setback in life is an experience and a lesson learned. Indeed, "Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You LEARN!"
Whatever unhappiness that happened this year, let's learn to LET GO and move on. Let bygones be bygones... Life still goes on everyday being happy or sad, so don't carry unnecessary 'baggage' into the new year.
I hereby take this opportunity for a shout-out to thank my dear friends/buddies for being there for me...Thank you all for listening to my silly vents and woes! (You know who you are) I know you guys will be reading my blog anyway...
I hope 2020 will be a better year for all. Here's wishing everyone a wonderful new year filled with new hope, new joy, and new beginnings.
The kids are starting school in a few day's time so Mommy's gonna' be busy again...Till then, take care, all the best and cheers to a Happy 2020!
What's your new year's resolution?

I love to travel.
I like meeting new people, learning different cultures and exploring new places around the world...
I used to travel a lot when I was single, working in the travel industry many years back... Now a mother of 2 young kids with a busy schedule and other commitments. I travel less often, probably once or twice a year.
December is the school holiday and we would plan for short vacations to nearby countries like; Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, etc...Our neighboring country, Malaysia, is a great place for shopping, dining and sight-seeing.
We just came back from Malaysia (Johor Bahru) and I took some pictures during the trip that I would share on my blog.
Transportation can be quite challenging especially when you are traveling with young children. To avoid the hassle of unloading the luggage and the long waiting at the custom, we hired a private car that take us directly to the apartment.
Thank goodness it was a smooth and pleasant ride, the jam at the causeway wasn't too bad and we reached the apartment earlier than expected.
Wow! I must say I really love the apartment...I slept well on this trip! 😄
The place is clean, cozy and spacious. There are 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and there's even a Christmas tree at the hall for the holiday season. Sweet!
There is an outdoor pool and a gym at the rooftop. The kids had a great time playing in the water... Since I can't swim well, I just chilled by the pool and enjoy the views...It's so relaxing! 😎
Malaysia is also a well-known food paradise! My hubby is a foodie and he took us to try many famous food around the city, we are either shopping or eating, all the time! Gosh...I think this trip has made me gained a few pounds. (Oh darn!😜)
......and I have a sweet tooth unfortunately, I get weak when I see a Macaroon!!! Yea, I know it's so 'sinful' to eat these, but an occasional afternoon tea shouldn't harm. Let's dig in! (We can always diet after the trip.LOL! 😂)
Overall, it's a pretty enjoyable trip except for a little rain on and off but since we travel by car and spent most of the time indoors at the malls, cinema & restaurants, the rain didn't affect our trip. In fact, it's cooling to move around the city and the night markets too.
Oh, I love the street food there and the Salted Egg Chicken is a must-try! It's so damn good and really addictive! Mmm-mmm! 😋
...Before we headed back to Singapore, I caught another cute plushie at the claw machine to add to my collection. What a lucky day! (Hello Mr. Birdie! you are coming home with us.🐦)
I believe family bonding and spending quality time together is important. To me, it's not where I travel, it's who I travel with and as long as I'm with the people that I love, any place in the world can be a fun adventure together.
I enjoy family trips and outings. What matters most to me is seeing my kids having so much fun during this trip, it strengthens our family bonding and relationships.
Always make time for the family, spend as much time together and create happy memories! Happiness is priceless! I look forward to more family vacations to come...
...."A family that travels together stays together! " 👨👩👧👦💗
