happy 2012

it is the last day of 2011 and ideally, it should be a time to reflect of the year that has passed and the year that will come.

i would like to sit in an open area, on the grass and gaze into the dark sky filled with stars while reflecting upon the year....

however...in reality, i am here in the house, sitting in front of my mac and having a full stomach of hokkien noodles which they brought home for me after they had their dinner outside. i stayed home to watch the grandparents. it is still raining outside and hence, i doubt i will be able to catch any stars let alone a galazy of stars.

i wonder if i will get the chance next year- to sit under the stars.

counting down with a crowd of strangers is not my cup of tea.

anyway, i would say that 2011 has been good to me health wise. i try to recall when i was last sick ...and i couldn't ;) i did not apply for any sick leave, nor do i have any serious injury. well, i do have the occasional heat rash and that clumsy bicycle accident (haha)...but other than these, i am hale and hearty and for 2012, i want to keep this.

work wise, things had gone smooth and i got my promotion albeit time-based. no problem with colleagues or the kids although i made a loud hullabaloo at the beginning of the year regarding the tasks i got. well, i succeeded in getting one major post taken away din i? so that was another success ...from crying in front of the boss. kakaka...that was a first.

there are also a lot of other firsts at home, like taking care of grandma this year. i will be sleeping with her tonight till i need to go back to work. i hope she lets me sleep till sunrise the next morning. i have always welcomed the new year at home for the past few years....being at home makes it the cosiest.

but....that makes my social life gets from bad to worse. there is broken heart to cry about or new love to embrace. there are just the familiar faces and the usual activities. it is not as easy as what you see on tv. puh, those characters have no other problems except relationship problems.

well, singlehood has not been that bad to me. i get to travel quite a bit this year with friends and colleagues. i counted 4 holiday trips, near and far. they were yogyakarta, london/paris, belum rainforest and seoul. all totally different from the other. the shopping has been good too kakaka....but i still managed to save more this year.

new year's resolution? gosh, i really dun have one and that is really bad eh? imagine having no target in life. there are no new things i want to try. love? whatever will be will be. i just want to have a smooth journey in my career and enjoy my life.

see the photo of the glittering stars in the post? well, i will make my life glittery and bright amidst the dark sky. hope everyone will have a good year as well.

happy 2012!!!
