Year in review: “You can watch me, mock me, try to block me, but you cannot STOP me” • Usually New Year’s the time I dislike the most, simply because it means yet another year has just flown by. Time has always felt like it was never enough & played against me. This year felt like a really Long eventful year, it was plagued with the highest highs & lowest lows • Still, I’m grateful for every bit. Especially the toughest of times, which tested my resolution & level of commitment to my craft (even with Murphy’s law visiting me personally). In my darkest moments, I remember thinking “tough times never last, tough people do”. So when days ensued that were particularly tough to bear, I made sure it was my personal mission to show up and give it my all. But y’all made it easier for me too. You were right there with me through the worst of days and I never imagined such heartwarming support - BIG THANK YOU • In closing, I want to share with you something I’ve benefited from of late, one that may assist you in closing your year or perhaps the start of a new one...All year round the 1 phrase I’ve been holding on to & keeping me sane was, “a bad day doesn’t mean a bad life”. That phrase drastically reframed my thoughts and filtered out undesirable ones. Then, I struck gold sometime 3 months ago, regularly practising gratitude. I didn’t start out deciding to practice it at all-gratitude was always something I’d reserved for momentous occasions. There was a day it all fell together when I started taking time to notice and reflect upon a couple of things I was thankful for and it soon became a conscious daily practise. Simple things like being able to wake up to a new day, being healthy and able-bodied, the food on the table & etc (you get the drift). The more I mentally took note of my gratitude, I felt I experienced more positive emotions, felt more alive, slept better, but most importantly, more life satisfaction. So for this next year instead of setting goals or rushing to fill my schedule, I’m doing away with all goals, big or small. I’m letting it all go,to just simply be • 🙌🏼 if you can relate #newyearsresolution #newyeargoals #newyearnewus //👗 @mimoto.tko

Home from France and I’m off again in less than a week’s time on Xmas eve. Been riding an Xmas High all MONTH LONG! So it goes without saying that I had to host my own “Merry almost-Xmas” get together with my favourite humans to catch up & unwind • If you haven’t already guessed, that means stockin’ up on @tigerbeersg Tiger Crystal; always a crowd pleaser as it’s easy to drink, extra smooth, & incredibly refreshing. Hence, my go-to beer of choice for every occasion 🤗 #TigerCrystalSG #TigerBeerSG (Ad) #singaporeinsiders #singaporelife #singapore🇸🇬 #singaporefood

Craving for some free diving moments right now... • That infinite feeling of being 💯 present, at complete ease, feeling my lungs expand (so much- that I don’t remember ever accommodating that much air in my lungs before), then becoming so light that my troubles melt away into small tiny bubbles, just a faint kick propelling me forward towards the passing schools of fish, JUST HEAVEN. It’s therapeutic, I think I need some ocean time and it’s coming soon. Very soon... // 👙 @myraswim #maldivesislands #visitmaldives #oceanlove #fashionbloggerstyle #freedivinggirls

First day on my favourite kind of getaway; lost on an island and surrounded by beaches, blue lagoons and extensive reefs. All that’s on my agenda is lotsa swimming in the ocean, snorkelling next to marine life and doing some free diving. I’m most alive by the ocean! What’s your definition of a FAB GETAWAY? //@437swimwear
