Reflections 2012

Its the end of year 2012. The year I turned 30. The year with varied emotions. 

God

1. I haven't been really consistent if you ask me for a honest reply. 

2. I was baptised this year. :) 

Health

1. Swimming is on-and-off. Running stopped almost completely. 

2. No major health issues. As usual, no sick leave this year. 

3. Ageing continues.

Wealth

1. The house wiped clean everything. Now, I'm starting to build savings from scratch. 

2. Good increment helps. 

Work

1. There are ups and there are downs. 

2. I need my share of challenges.

3. My current bores me quite a bit.

Friends

1. Generally, relationships were maintained. 

2. Some misunderstandings occur.

Travels

1. Switzerland business trip was good. The bonding between colleagues is priceless. 

2. US is a little disappointing. But still, the shopping is best on earth. 

Others

1. Reading is slow, probably less than 8 books this year.

All in all, the year has been rather plain. I wished for more. And hopefully in 2013, I will accomplish more.

Good bye 2012.

Planning for 2012

Procrastination had always lead me to lost opportunities. So for 2012, there are some things I really want to kick start!

I shan't be too ambitious.

Item 1: MSc in Proj Management

Either one of the local universities, I hope my degree results + work experience + recommendation letter can get me an offer place in one of the local universities for part time Masters. Application starts in Jul and Aug respectively. And if I get a place, the course will be due to start in Jan 2012 and last for 2 years.

Item 2 (optional): Orthodontics - Braces.

Been holding on to this for a long time. Not a must, but its always good to start early.

I wished I start these 2 items earlier. But oh well, its better to be late than never.

Summary of 2008

I wanted to do this 2 months back. However, it had been a topsy turvy start to the new year. Different from the previous years, I'm adopting the format I saw on Paw's. :)

HIGHLIGHTS OF 2008

Health
1. I started the year with very bad contagious flu, cough and severe sore throat. My colleagues and I took turns to infect one another.
2. Hospitalized for 3 days, leaving me a 10cm and 2cm scar. Hospitalization leave for 1.5 months.
3. Detoxication took a good proportion of the year.
4. Improved digestion systems and less constipation issues.
5. Weight seems to hover on the high side and reached a new peak! *sian*

Beauty
1. Significant deterioration of skin since detoxing. *weird*
2. I have been lagging in my routine skincare as compared to 2007.

Friends
1. All my friends have been very supportive in one way or another. Especially thankful to my h6 roomie and my GGs.
2. All in all, I didn't think that I have been best at friendships in 2008. In fact, I think it's the worse year.

Work
1. It had been a tiring year. Workload was high during most of the months.
2. A sad turn in business demands towards the end of the year is quite agonizing.
3. The migration of a close colleague made an impact too. I miss her!

Running
1. My longest competitive distance has increased from 5km in 2007 (just started) to 10km.
2. Best timing is still pegged at 80 mins at Shape Run.

Others
1. Reading books at an ever slow rate.
2. Had 4 different handphone in 2008. *tsk tsk*
3. Learnt to practise more thrifty methods. One of which is to dine cheap.

Good bye 2008
