2010 - New Year, New Beginning, New Start, New Life

It's 2010, January! A new year! A year where there are new challenges ahead of me and I know that this time I will have someone with me to face the challenges. My DD.

2010, at the strike of 12 o'clock, DD proposed to me, under the Tokyo tower with a lot of people celebrating the new year. The moment was special. I was touched and very surprised. I didn't expected it to come so soon. And without any hesitation, I agreed. The feeling was strong and natural. We spend the rest of our Japan trip, relaxing and happy (although we have some arguement and dispute, but all went well after that).

It's the 3rd week since I am back from my trip and work. The stress is coming back and I am still adjusting to the stress and work back in my Somerset office. I am sure I can do it. Overcome my fears of taking the crowded packed train, being alone around the mall. I will find the courage to overcome these fears. Like what DD always tell me, character building and be fearless.

I am also trying to adjust the fact that I am going to be someone's wife soon. And also planning a wedding can be stressful too. So I understand why my DD keep telling me to take one step at a time. Yah, so I am doing that. Oh well, the first step for me to do is to tell me parents. Somehow, it doesn't seem so easy to tell them. Maybe I am already picturing that they are not so positive about my marriage? or I am just worried that when I tell them about my engagement, it's time for me to leave them? And I am worried that they can't take care of themselves, especially my mum. The thing is I am not leaving them for good, I will still be around in Singapore. And will still be able to visit them anytime I want. Maybe I just think too far. I still have my brother around to take care of them. I am sure all will end well.

Moto for the year: Stay positive, happy, find the courage to face new challenges and take a step at a time, slowly. No hurry.
