There are only so many times (once) in a lifetime that a guy kneels in front of you and asks you to marry him. Only one day when you get a huge bouquet and a diamond ring! 29 Feb 2012 - it only took a brief moment to say yes, but all that it culminates into...wedding planning, the big day, a lifetime together (!!)... With everything set in motion now, let's enjoy the journey together (in laid back fashion ok?) :)
2. Outdoor adventures
Sunbathing on the beach, para-sailing, elephant trekking, snorkeling, netball, Bedok treetop adventure, explosive rides at USS and Legoland. More Sun, more Vitamin E = won't turn mouldy. I love 2012 for the amount of time spent outdoors.
3. Ear Piercing
I've tried to put this off for 27 years, not because of the pain but because I don't like any alterations to my body. Finally gave in after rationalising that I can't be wearing cutesy ear rings when I'm in my 30s and 40s right? Now that the "permanent" damage is done, it's such a hassle struggling to put on ear rings, and it'll be a lifetime of worrying that the hole will close if you stop wearing ear rings. Somebody remind me why I did it again?
4. Fine Dining Experiences
No doubt I have broken my record in terms of yearly expenses, but then this is what I call taking time to smell the roses, and broadening horizons.
5. Promotion
Ahh... promotion this year is really recognition for the job done in 2011. But well, promotion means more monies which can't be bad right. Anyway having a promotion and able to celebrate it with others (family & colleagues) is also very important.
6. Growing myself and others at work
Being project lead gave me a lot of opportunities to go out there and talk and lead discussions. I think I got a lot out of meetings like these, and it was a good learning experience for me and my teammates. All these really adds to the job satisfaction.
7. Being Emcee
I'm not sure if I performed well there, but there were no hiccups and a stranger did say "good job" to be after the session.
8. More quality time with family
I think we've always spent quite a significant amount of time at home, but we probably had more quality time this year. Hard to qualify here, but we just do what we can and what we think is right.
9. Getting to know 2 new kids and teaching them piano
Had my initial reservations about teaching strangers, but after 7 months of seeing them every week I would say we've gotten chummy with each other. It's not that hard getting chummy with kids haha. Of course they give a lot of trouble during the lesson to the extent I have to get creative in dishing out carrots & sticks, but the slate is wiped clean after every lesson when they say "bye bye ms tham" or hug your leg like a koala and refuse to let go.
10. Achieving my new year resolution
Only had 1 for 2012 to make sure it's easy to achieve. Managed to shed at least a kilo just by faithfully attending all the netball classes and cutting back on unhealthy food. But it's not just this, it's about how I've IMPROVED in terms of setting goals and working progressively towards them.
