Happy New Year!

2010 has arrived - a new year, a new decade and maybe some new year resolutions.

I spent the first day of the new year flying and I've finally touched down in London town. I've got two days to do a speed tour of the city before heading to Shanghai.

But as the new year is ushered in, thanks must be given to those who have made 2009 bearable for me :P

Thank you to my friends and family for their constant love and support - I suffered loss but learnt to stay strong. I realised some people aren't as they seem but learnt to trust myself and my instincts.

Thank you to the DTT grads for pulling me through a tough year of work and study. Would not have survived without you all!

Thank you to everyone who has supported U-Fhern.com - 2010 will be filled with new ideas and pretty things :)

And to my Beijing girls - Miss you lots! Hopefully a reunion is near :)

May 2010 be filled with joy and success. The dawn of a new decade I'm sure, will have exciting adventures in store for all.

Lots of love,

Uey

Brrr

The City that never sleeps is as cold as ever (for me anyways). We can't last a few minutes outdoors and I hear someone saying that the weather is considered "tropical" for them. We've been visiting some NY sites and everything seems so large in comparison to back home.

I just have Grand Central left and a photo with my mobile Gossip Girl style :)

Will post photos up when I get back home.

Happy holidays!

Tick - Tock - Tick - Tock

I am moments away from my holiday only to realise that I am already dreading my return in 2010.

I have promised to end 2009 with a bang because the year hasn't been too fascinating for me with full time work, study and loss.

Hopefully the New York skies will inspire me to make the coming year something special...

...In New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
There's nothing you can’t do,
Now you're in New York!!!
These streets will make you feel brand new,
the lights will inspire you,
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York

Welcome to the bright light..

I will try post whilst away, (a Christmas message at the very least), but just in case I don't get to for whatever reason...


HAPPY HOLIDAYS! xo

Questions, questions, questions

I've been hit withe two big questions lately...

1) What have you done in 2009 that is memorable?

The last couple of years I've spent travelling quite a bit but 2009 has just been work, study and more work. Not very memorable at all.

So I've decided that while the bulk of it hasn't been all too special, I will end it with a bang even if it means freezing my bottom off in Times Square just to see the ball drop.

I'm looking forward to ice skating outdoors, walking through Central Park, visiting the Guggenheim and partaking in Boxing Day sales!

I cannot wait!

2) Are there such things as superficial friends?

Are there people who seem like good friends on the outside and even on paper but aren't truly as great at you think or have hoped?

It's rather disappointing, but maybe it's all part of growing up and it's all a learning curve to filter out the not so good and keep those who treasure the relationship with no question.
