I know it’s been a long time since I’ve written here..2012 has flown by extremely fast for me, and it’s not for the lack of trying that I haven’t been here. I’ve just been way too busy for my liking..so much so that I think my 2012 can be summarized as mostly being nose deep into work.
2012 wasn’t the best year for me..there were quite a number of times I felt pretty negative. Maybe it was just getting used to a work environment, or trying to adjust to the fact that I had to suddenly be independent and mature, put on a decent image so as not to embarrass my mum (whoops), but I felt like I had aged a lot within the last year and life just wasn’t so fun and carefree anymore. I couldn’t skip work as I used to in school, couldn’t even pretend to be sick, didn’t have the freedom to go to town or anywhere on a weekday afternoon and enjoy the peace and quiet without all the working adults around (I have become one of them). I was looking back on my entries when I had just started work and how it was going to take me 9 months to adjust myself to it..and I guess in a way, I have adjusted to it now..I no longer dread it as much as I did previously..although there were times I imagined myself being elsewhere, pursuing something else and wondering if I would have been happier.
With all the said, I can’t say that I have had a bad year either. I am thankful to have a job, a job that has given me opportunities to grow and learn, thankful that after one year of making tonnes of mistakes and being a sotong about so many things, I’m still having a job. Lol. And in all honesty my job is not bad at all. I do enjoy what I do..there are highs and lows but I guess that is all part and parcel of work..well, life in general.
And of course I’m thankful for the people in my life who were with me throughout the best and worst of 2012. Thankful to have spent NYE with my loved ones, having the best view of the fireworks I will possibly ever have in my life, and of course one of the major highlights of 2012/2013, thankful to see my sister wedded to a wonderful guy I’m proud to call my bro, and still going into fits of giggles hearing him address my parents as “pa” and “ma” :’}
I am not expecting much for 2013. I guess all I can hope for is just continued good health, happiness and love for myself and loved ones around me..:) No resolutions other than to perhaps continue buying tissue paper from uncles and aunties (lol) and to go to yoga a lot more regularly..and more importantly, to find a balance in my work and life..I am not going to let myself be swamped in again, at the expense of my life and people dear to me.
Annnddd..I hope to travel a lot more this year with my family and friends..having only travelled to Bali, HK (and if you count JB) last year. I guess I can see Vancouver and Alaska in the foreseeable future.. Hopefully, Boracay, Koh Samui, Vietnam, Japan and New Zealand as well heh. And of course re-visiting Bangkok and HK for my all time fav shopping and eating. Yes, I must travel more this year..after all, #yolo ! >:)
I also hope to update more regularly..keep my memories intact..but we'll see about that.
