I wish Everyone to have a great 2014 ahead and Start Buying all the Chinese New Year Clothes and Prepare to Gamble During the Chinese New Year to win some Extra Pocket Money! And I also wish myself to advance further in my career and also in my blogging world and I will say this again, I want to slim down! Hahahahaha! Let's see if I can do this in 2014 alright? :)

What's Huge that is coming up in 2014 for me is:

EAT.SHOP.PLAY 2nd ANNIVERSARY

Hey Beautiful and Handsome, You might all have guessed from the title of this post that yes, My blog is officially 2 years old now, Today, 27th October 2013.

But I did not start blogging just 2 years ago. I started my first blog when I was 15, 2007, which was like 6 years ago. With a simple purpose of my blog being my personal online diary, but a more public one as compared to a handwritten book. I closed it after something happen and Did not open another blog until 2 years ago, But this time, I wanted to share more, more information with readers, places I have been to, or products I have been using. And also I've realize that I love to share my stories and experiences with the pictures I took. They were not fantastic AT FIRST, I knew I had to improve. From reading online tutorials on how to take better pictures(YES I GOOGLED), to browsing the more famous blogs in the blogsphere to get more inspirations and idea on how to take better quality pictures.

Then I realized I have to look at least presentable on my blog so that people will not be turned off when they see my pictures on my blog. But I was not born a beauty, I started learning MakeUp, With the simplest Eyeliner and I thought I did quite a good job back then, Or so I thought. As I look back to my pictures now, I could not resist laughing at myself and how i drew my make up in the past. (Yes I know, You are Urging to Click on my Archives now, Go ahead, Go ahead..)

I know I have not exactly Slim Down in my 2 years, but I did not Gain Massive Kilos either(THANK GOD!) I have realized that I love Eating, as much as Baking, and also Photography But I wasn't confident enough to just blog about food considering the fact that there are FAR MORE Talents out there, I decided to Blog about anything and everything that Happens around me, Love, Family, Food.

But I realize I could do more, I could attend events and meet more bloggers and make new friends! I signed up for some Blogger Community and Started Attending events, and as I go along, more event invites from Companies or Friends I've Made. I love going to events because you get to meet many different people and from there you also get to know how to deal with people and also the different types of Company's PRs. I'm not saying they are all bad neither are they all Superb. I have gotten invites more on food than anything else, But I do not want to restrict myself on just food post alone because I have too many things I wanna share with you guys!! ^o^

So talking about sharing, I would like to let you guys share the love and happiness with me as EATSHOPPLAY turns 2 Today! I have some goodies up for grabs and also some coupon code for everyone to enjoy in this joyous moment.

I face many problems too, but I just bite my lip and try to solve it myself. No Biggie.

I believe everything happens for a reason, it's something I call Fate.

I choose to smile to everyone everyday, Even if it doesn't work out, I know at least I tried.

I have a mini obsession with Hello Kitty

I believe that everyone can Fall in love, best is with someone who loves you more than you love them.. ♥
