The most significant event for me in 2010 is that Grumpy and myself finally tied the knot! We had such a beautiful wedding shared with our closest family and friends. People made the effort to travel from abroad (and interstate) to celebrate with us on our wedding day. The day was perfect, I could not ask for more. We went for a honeymoon a few days after our wedding and had such a wonderful trip.
The other eventful moments of the year:
- I went camping! haha Who ever said I was high maintenance?
- My much loved car was damaged in the hail storm and written off. BOO!
- Went back to Malaysia for my grandfather's 90th. It was also some sort of a family reunion as it has been more than 10 years where all of us grandchildren were actually back in KL at the same time. Shortly after, my grandfather suffered a bad stroke that has taken away much of his memory and things has changed significantly since, but he is such a trooper and I admire him so much because of it.
- Worn a wig for the first time at my BFF's birthday party in Sydney.
- Went skiing with friends this year... after a long period of time, and I loved it!
- I saw Tiesto, Lady Gaga, U2 and Jay-Z. Each of them, a different genre, but all of them were absolutely brilliant.
- We did our first real DIY home renovation project! We changed the floors in our living room from carpet to floating timber, all by ourselves! I have not had a chance to blog about it yet, but I will at some point post some photos here.
- I was able to spend a bit more time with my parents. I realise that I normally only get to see them for about two weeks in the one year. But in 2010, I was able to see them for about 7-8 weeks, all split up in different trips, but it was good! I think that they really appreciate me being home more often and I am glad that I was able to be there with them.
- I went to Perth with Grumpy, and while I was there, I got offered a new job with a different company.
- I still cannot believe this was the year I resigned from a job after being so comfortable there for many years. Working with this company, I have grown so much as a person both professionally and personally. This was the company that brought me to Dublin to have the time of my life, and has also given me opportunity to be part of many significant projects. Lets not forget the company that sent me back to KL twice, staying in a 5 star hotel and eating all my favourite food back home on company expense. This was the company where I made so many friends, had the chance to discover new cultures, different languages... I will definitely miss it! And so they say.. life goes on...
2011 I hope to....
- Enjoy my new job. I know I will never have the same experiences or work environment as before, but I most certainly hope that things will work out and I will continue to learn new things and take up new challenges.
- Continue with our mini home renovation project. Next up, is the carpets. We need to change new carpets in all the bedrooms. And there are little things in the house that I keep wanting to do but have not had the chance to make it happen as yet. Laziness is a big part of it, but can I blame it on financial constraints as well?
- We will be going to Japan in a few months. Really looking forward to this.
- Eat healthy, continue to exercise, read more books, and I know this sounds weird, but I really don't mind keeping a low profile this year...
- Be kind, be considerate, be loving and caring, compassionate person to all my loved ones especially to my husband and my parents.
So there we go, lets welcome the New Year with as much hope, faith and love as before! I wish all of you great happiness, good health and much love, laughter and joy!
