Going through that post seems to me that it was still very fresh and I couldn't believe that an entire year has gone by. this to me has only 2 possible explanation, either the year was very busy for me or i don't have much going on this year. hmmm, 2nd point probably not true.
going through this entire year's blog posts to trace my adventures...
I'll keep this strictly as a closure post and post another one for the opening of 2011 and expectations and resolution and stuff. :)
I noticed that...
- this year me and the gang went out far fewer outings compared to 2010. not sure why? less planning and probably because of the global project as well...
- I had far better art posts than photography posts which I strived for, let's keep up the trend. as much as I would like to have both, I just couldn't and will have to minimize the other one
- first time for the following :-
- went to Air Itam damn with the gang even though I lived here for almost 30 years
- went to see the majestic Kuan Yin statue on top of Kek Lok Si temple
- joined Earth Hour campaign
- went to Bodhi heart sanctuary with the gang
- went for photoshoot at local Chinese Opera show in 7th Lunar month
- co-planned and organized and participated in team building at Hard Rock Hotel Penang
- boarded airplane for cross country flights!
- went to Australia!
- went to China!
- experienced snow and cold cold weather!
- traveled to foreign country on my own
- missed my flight and slept at Shanghai airport
Gadgets owned :-
- iPhone 4
- iPad
gosh, so few... i gotta start pamper myself more next year.. :p more... i-devices! muahahahahha
thing's I've learned this year :-
- worked with different types of people from across the world, different culture, different slang, different expectation, different habits, different behaviors, enriching, exciting, exhausting, extreme!
- time is limited, when u want something just go for it, live a life with as few regrets as possible
- learn to have some little goals in life for yourself to look forward to everyday, gives you the extra energy and lift when you open your eyes to face a brand new day
- a lot of people passed away this year, nothing is permanent and so are people around you. not necessary passed away but friends or family could be leaving us to pursue their dreams/goals. cherish each and everyone as much as possible.
- working hard towards a goal doesn't mean you will succeed in the end, it gives u 50% fighting chance, but if you did not work towards it at all, you have 0%.
- I don't believe in luck but i do believe that if it were to exists, it would meant that you're prepared and able to embrace the situation to take advantage of it.
- I had the best relative relationships ever and I cherish my relatives very very much. thank you guys for being the most awesome relatives that a family could ever have!
- time is catching up to me... my goodness.. i'm.. hitting the big 3-0 already... =_=
- some that i couldn't think of at the moment... :p
I wanted to express my gratitude towards friends and family members who helped out throughout the entire year. both mum and dad for their support in everything I do, thanks dad for printing out my paintings for me to stick on my wall (for free.. muahahahaha), thanks to mum for carrying out most of the house chores and cooks for us (shy), my uncle and especially my auntie for fetching my mum to hospital for regular checkups and also fetch me whenever I need to travel (thank you thank you thank you guys so very much!). thanks to my colleagues who battled alongside to achieve the impossible! C.F.O. ROQX! (this statement could be contradicting depending on what time you ask me.. :p) thanks for my friends, especially some close ones that chat with me, listened to my stories throughout the entire year (ups n downs) and really needed you guys else I would be consumed in utter madness in the confines of my room. thanks! thanks to Pek Kong for giving our family protection and blessing throughout the year especially while I'm in the cold cold weather in China, Kam siah!
what's your thought about 2010?
