HELLO 2012, GOODBYE 2011

I guess the year end always does one thing to people - it gets them THINKING!

That is probably not something I want to do lately - think, but I guess it is important to reflect on the year because only then, one will be able to embrace the next year a smarter ass! Hahaha. 

As a 'rabbit' (my Chinese zodiac), I started this year with a lot of people telling me how bad this year would be for me. Oh well, to be honest, I never really believed a lot of superstitions, but I admit, I was pretty worried earlier this year. But after one year, I've come to understand that, you can't trust these things - because at the end of the day, although you don't control your fate, you control your own happiness.

2011 - year of the Rabbit has been one emotional roller-coaster ride for me. Looking back, a lot has happened and I didn't even realised that it was all within a year. 

To be honest, 2011 has been very kind to me.

Highlights (going through Facebook photos for this haha):

1.  My resolution to go to at least 3 places for vacation was fulfilled. (I went to Singapore, Malacca, and Bali (I love this place!) and I thoroughly enjoyed myself during all these vacation. No regrets.)
2. Awesome Sarawak trip with colleagues!
3. Had a great 2011 birthday - thanks to all my colleagues, whom I treat almost like a family.
4. Attended my friend's Szetoo's wedding - excited because it's the first FRIEND's official wedding.
5. Watched "Magical Musical" at Sunway and got the VIP seats and the singer performed live in front of me - and even touched my face!
6. Survived SkyTrex
7. Attended Media Prima Nite Live: Media screening

Found:

1. Got my iPhone on the 22 April 2011

2. New friends 

3. New artistes with music that blow me away

4. New love for karaoke, leggings and long dresses

5. New phone Samsung Galaxy SII  on the 22 October 2011

Lost: 

1. TWO PHONES in August! - one in Sunway (yes, the iPhone) and one in Bali 

2. A mentor and 'big sister' who left the corporate world for her own passion - but I am happy for her :)

3. Passion and direction towards the end of the year

I've learned so much about myself, struggling to deal with change in people, things and life. I am not happy with changes, but I'm trying to learn to handle things that doesn't make me comfortable.

Personally, I'm not exactly proud of myself in 2011.

Although I want to be young at heart, it is apparent that my hormones are not. I'm now venturing into a whole new world of womanhood - and don't think of it disgustingly, but yes, I'm now an emotional bitch who can cry almost at every single thing that previously, in my mind, wasn't really worth tearing up for.

If I were to keep these tears for 'sentimental' values, I guess I could flood a village!

Everything a guy is afraid about a woman - crying, getting ridiculously mad and angry about the most ridiculous things - oh well, yep, I do almost all of that. But don't worry, I blame it on hormones hahaha. 

Back then, I used to be very patient and very little things can make me burst but I wouldn't say the same about myself. Back then, you would have known me for four years, but you will never see me with tears, not even a drop of water in my eyes, but now, I think I could cry every other day -  just play me a sad song!

So I'm glad that 2011 is coming to an end, and I hope that it will wrap up all the sorrows and sadness together with it. 

And welcome 2012 and bring along with you happiness, opportunities, love and a new outlook on life for me. 

My resolutions for 2012 is simple:

1. Cry less hahaha

2. Learn to control emotions and anger

3. Vacation to 3 places

4. Work harder!

5. Write more!

6. Catch up on movies in cinemas (I've missed A LOT OF MOVIES!)

I've ditched my blog because I realised that most of my stuff on the personal blog has been negative.

2012 will see me writing more EXCITING stuff on Facebook :)

So here's to 2012! And here's to wishing all of my beloved friends and family a great 2012 ahead too.

I think in my life, these are the people that had helped made all the difficult moments in my life, bearable.

Cheers! Can't wait for tonight as my whole family gather to embrace the New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love,
