... to the new year!

I can't help but look forward. There's just something about 2012 that I really want to bid farewell to! I don't know what, or perhaps I have reached my travelling quota this year and need a new one once 2013 arrives. And I know, I still haven't wrote about my America trip! I hope I can get some things done this weekend (fingers crossed).

So many things happened this year... good and bad. Seriously, a lot of bad things around me than the good. I want to give thanks that we are all still live and have a choice to choose to be happy. Some of the highlights for 2012:

1. My dear friend, Joy, got married.
2. Joy's wedding also became my first trip to USA. A new continent conquered.
3. FAB 4 reunited again at the wedding after so many years!
4. My mum got hospitalized, this is probably the first time in my life I saw her on a hospital bed.
5. My cousin is still in a coma, but good or bad, she didn't give up on her life after being taken off the life support.
6. I permed my hair for the first time, though many would say I didn't need it. It's not as curly any more but I definitely like them, just that it is damaging to the hair.
7. I left a job which sucked the life out of me, and am doing one I'm actually enjoying the work.
8. Sometimes distance or even years apart do not kill a real friendship, I have met up with many old friends this year! And I received Christmas cards from all the members of the FAB 4 gang, a rare occurrence.
9. I had so much good food this year, it's hard to keep the waistline from expanding! The most memorable has to be The Line at Shangri-La.
10. I found out "The Laws of Attraction" do work. Focus on what you want and bring it to you!
11. I did another solo trip, this time to Hanoi & Sapa. It was rough, but life's not smooth-sailing all the time!
12. I also did a group trip to Malacca and Bangkok. Both were awesome in different ways. Travelling also sometimes helps to put things in perspective, to witness what some people are really like.
13. I had my first spray-on tattoo ;)
14. I took a few months break in between jobs and those were my most fruitful time!

Bring it on 2013! Show me what you have got!
