I seldom do the ‘looking back on the year and reminiscing’ thing. Perhaps cause I always forget to do it in time and then would procrastinate and not do it at all. But lest everyone thinks that 2010 was a stressful and extremely unhappy year for me, shall take some time to also count (and recount) the good and memorable times…
truth be told, 2010 was a tiring year at work. I witnessed how maliciousness and negativity can affect people and moods. Saw how distrust can build up and friendships destroyed. Being caught in the middle is not very easy and its trying, but am also glad I’m not the protagonist. Is there really such a need for things to get to this state? Hoping for a more positive work environment in the year ahead.
still on the work front, there was a constant overwhelming sense of tiredness. maybe cause of the increase challenges. Tons of upheavals and feelings of discontentment but at the same time, I’m appreciative of the opportunities and things that come my way. Stay positive! Learn from every experience!
2010 was also about taking the first step to realising my next dreams. Much more work to come in the year ahead, but will press on and see how things go. Should not just plan, but set things in motion.
Took my annual sabbatical to Hong Kong with my family. Spent close to two wonderful weeks recharging in Perth. enough said.
To my wonderful family and friends who have been with my through the good and bad times the past year…
Caught Jay Chou in concert this year (high!). other than that, caught a few more movies. Loved Inception.
Took the plunge and permed my hair. Like it! went to Marina Barrage and fell in love with the place. Kite flying soon anyone?
two of my overseas friends visited and enjoyed reconnecting and being the tour guide…
towards the end of the year, I embarked on a more disciplined lifestyle and am seeing the result. Never imagine that it would happen, but sometimes, a switch just goes on in your had that says ‘Why not?’. Going to the gym has become somewhat habitual and I daresay I’ve become a slightly healthier person this year end compared to when I started. Finally went for a full health screening and am glad all bodily functions and organs are seemingly in order

For 2011, I hope to
a. not be too jaded at work and at relationships. Think before I speak and bitch about people cause what goes around gets increasingly exaggerated. Words can be misinterpreted and actions misconstrued
b. Learn to leap and not be afraid of changes. Sometimes, more chices may not necessarily be a good thing…
c. go on a nice long break… Japan? US? Europe?
d. maintain my new-found discipline and lifestyle
e. get my iPhone!!!! (so frivolous)
f. Learn a new skill or sport.
g. Learn to give back…
