It's been some time

Initially, I wanted to start off with an apology for not posting religiously. Then again, it's not like I'm living off the viewership of this blog, so screw the apology.

Been up to a dozen different things over the past 2 months, with the main bulk of non-office hours spent on the race against time to prepare for our wedding solemnisation and striking stuff off my bucket list before marriage life takes over. But then again, it isn't like anything is going change apart from the new ring on my finger, is it?

Bucket List Item: To the land of cosmetic shops

To be honest, I had agreed to go on my maiden trip to Korea with the besties only because I thought that it would be cool if all of us could go on an overseas trip together before we got married. The one of us chose to drop out of the idea because she had but just 9 months to prepare for her entire wedding. That crushed half my enthusiasm for the trip, and I would have dropped out too if it hadn't been for the fact that I had splashed a good amount of money on the airfare and accommodation. Plus it wouldn't be nice to go back on your promise, right?

But the trip was a true eye-opener, no less. Shall reserve my raving and ranting in a separate post, lest I choke up page.

Bucket List Item: Hail the Blue Moon

Please let me live this fangirl moment before I become too old for this.

I got the wind knocked out of me when my K-pop junkie sis told me that CNBlue was heading to Singapore as part of their Blue Moon World Tour. I've never looked at CNBlue the same way as the other Korean music groups, for the simple reason that they live off their own individual musical talent, and come together as a group to create beautiful music. I didn't know a single word of Korean prior to knowing CNBlue, but their music flowed through to me like it knew no boundaries. It was a truly beautiful night to remember this lifetime, because I got to watch these amazing boys work their magic at the Indoor Stadium. 고마워요. :)

Bucket List Item: Murder on the Dance Floor

So... I'm currently into this thing called Zumba, which is a brave feat for someone who has two left feet. It sounds somewhat frivolous, but every session never fails to leave me breathless but dying for more. So apparently I've taken up K-pop dance lessons, but my two left feet and goldfish memory does not seem to agree with me on this, especially after struggling through the first session. We shall see how the next 8 lessons progress (if any).

Bucket List Item: Run Unleashed

The Nike Women's Run was a timely reason for me to drag myself out for regular runs in view of the ROM. With my colleagues and 8,000 other brave women, we conquered the whole 5 km, stretching from Gardens By The Bay East to the Marina Barrage to the Gardens West and back. I managed to shave 10 minutes off my previous run record, though the timing I clocked was still short of ideal. Oh well, there's always next year. :)
