Reflecting on 2011

Merry Christmas!


Had an entry Reflecting on 2010 last year, and I thought I should have one again to mark the end of 2011.
Not that my life is all smooth-sailing and happy-go-lucky... but as usual.. I always prefer to spread "positivity"... look back... be thankful.. and count my blessings...




Biggest news of 2011
The biggest news for me this year... If you have not heard yet...

Ben the famous blogger in Singapore!

If you don't know by now... I'm a famous blogger!!!
Read my Ben the famous Singapore blogger entry to find out why...
Either that or like Wifey says...  I'm hopelessly shameless....


BUT..... 


I have further proof... why I'm famous!!!

Xiaxue is Evil

Xiaxue is Evil... 
I'm not even talking about her spats with other bloggers or any other person who has crossed her... (yes, I do read her blog from time to time)
I'm talking about something even more personal!
If you have wife/girlfriend/partner reading her blog.. be careful!
You know.. like how the devil holds sway over some people?...


Why do I say that?


Some time last week...
Out of the blue....
Wifey dropped me a SMS which read:

"Baby... I need to talk to you tonight!"

Thoughts that came to my mind?

As I was brain storming about what to write for this entry...
(Check out Wifey's Post on it at http://barefootgirldaynight.blogspot.com/)
I decided to ask a few people...

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of a cruise vacation?
