Happy new year 2012!

I can't believe how fast this year has gone by .. so many things changed and happened for me and I'm excited about what the new year has in store for me.

Still need to catch up on so many recaps (holidays in Asia, Turkey and 2011) .. 

Right now I am home with my parents and preparing the New Year's eve at the restaurant, which is the busiest night of the year .. tomorrow after the morning shift, I will head back to Hamburg again. 

Anyway, just a short post .. hope you have an awesome NYE and a happy & healthy 2012!

My birthday in Istanbul

One last quote before the end of this year:

"Life is too short to wake up with regrets. 

So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the one's who don't. 

Believe everything happens for a reason. 

If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. 

Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it!"

Have a good one! :)

Back!

It has exactly one month since I went on vacation. The three weeks have gone by so incredibly fast! But I have done a lot in those three weeks .. seen a lot, done a lot, ate a lot, bought a lot! Went to Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Sanya, Hanoi and Halong Bay! Been busy ever since I got back, so I need to follow up on my blogging another time ..

Just a short recap in pictures taken with my  iPhone ..

Two weeks in Hong Kong, meeting up with friends, attending my roomie's beautiful wedding, eating all kinds of food and enjoying the gorgeous skyline ..
