2013 Flashbacks

It's time of the year again to review what happened in the past 1 year, what have I accomplished, what have I done wrong and how to make my life better.

2013 is very interesting and fulfilling. I learnt alot, saw alot of things and get to know alot of different cultures through people. Loads of family times and, I also found my new interest of travelling.

Here are some of the milestones for this year...

Jan
Went to Hong Kong and Macau for a site recce, first experience with cold weather other than Genting Highlands.

Feb
Finally a CNY where everyone in the family is present.

Mar
Nothing too major happened in this month.. it was just work, work and more work.

Apr
Went to Hong Kong and Macau again to carry out the event. Apparently it was the most happening party the company ever organised and the bosses were pretty happy with this outcome. Im glad! :)

May
Brought my parents to take a plane for the first time! Really happy that I spent most of my savings to bring them to Ho Chi Minh. They were all smiles throughout the trip and im really glad that I did it!

Jun
My first time visiting Schweinfurt, Friedrichshafen, Constance, Wuzburg, Frankfurt, Germany and Switzerland, as well as visiting the plant in Germany. Saw the Switzerland Alps while cruising around the lake of Constance - just beautiful! First time taking the train in European country, it was really quite an experience.

Jul
Visited Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam again. This time round for work. After being to Vietnam for at least 4 times in the past 2 years, I am glad to declare - I have enough of Vietnam for now. This year, I finally met up with Wei Bing too. Well, its nice to meet a long time friend whom you have not met before and you are still friends.

Aug
Before i depart for Manila, Philippines, everyone warned me that the place is very dangerous, asked me to be careful and all. I think it wasn't that bad afterall. I really like their grilled food!

Sep
Finally, we fulfilled the wish of a graduate trip. This time round with Zhihui, Caroline and Jing Ying to Bintan, Indonesia. It was a short 2D1N trip, but its pretty fun!

Oct
My first super impromptu trip to Bangkok, Thailand. No planning was done, just felt like throwing everything down and moving away from reality for a short while. First time being able to buy so many things back from Bangkok and landed up having to buy a luggage back to put in all my loots. An experience which I pretty enjoy and I must say - sometimes in life, we just have to do it!

Nov
Went for the first Ng siblings trip to Kuala Lumpur. I was skeptical at the beginning but ok, things turned out fine. I think it was pretty much a bonding session for us..

Dec
First experience for winter in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Japan, no snow though. The temperature was as low as 5 degrees early in the morning. Very cold. And I realised I really like Japan more than Europe! This Dec, we also had the first family portrait.. after like so long.. =)

I  have visited 9 countries in total this year. I saw many cultural things, many interesting things and trying to understand each country. Very interesting milestones for 2013. I hope more to come!

The first meet up was awkward but it worked pretty well as we got to know each other a little better in person. Perhaps like what Fan Mama said.. it happens for a reason. I was afraid we would lost contact after that, but we didnt. I am glad. :)

We've been friends for 8 years and counting. It's amazing how life is. We havent met each other before, but we are often in contact via sms, whatsapp, etc. He was always there for me when things dont go the right way, particularly the last 2 years when God decided to put my life on test. This, Im really touched. He cant be a person to offer great advices but, he is certainly one of the best pairs of listening ears I've ever met.

Of course, we had squabbles too, even though it might be via messaging. All friends have that, dont they?

It's been a year!

Hello hello!

It's been a year since I last blogged! A lot of things happened within a short span of 1 year and I thought I would pen some thoughts down.

Guess the past year has made me grown up by loads - in terms of maturity level, I guess. I've began seeing things from many different perspective, try to understand some of the things which my parents do (from their point of view), those which I probably would never understand in the past. I've also learnt to appreciate them more. I guess every chapter in life - be it good, or bad, all contributes largely to our lives in some ways or another.

Sometimes I am glad that I got the current job, while sometimes I really whine madly about it. Guess it's part and parcel of life. >.<

Ok. Enough said. I'm going lalaland now. Stay tune for the next post (maybe 1year later again?)!
