Reflecting on 2011, there were highs and lows. In relationships, in work, they've had their fair share. But i'd like to think i did pretty well in relationships this year. 2010 taught me a lot therefore prepared me for 2011. And some help from a friend (who never knew she did anything) did the job. I've learnt that positivity encourages positivity. And surrounding myself with people who are always positive, happy, and seeing the bright side of things helps a person with a choleric nature like me.I have plenty of friends around me now. Much more compared to a few years back. No regrets and *1 brownie point* for me.
Workwise, I think I'm on schedule. But being on schedule isn't enough for me is it? I need to be ahead of schedule. Being on schedule just gives me the jitters. So *no brownie points* here. My boss has been busy for the past year which gave me a lot of space to do my own thing. She will be back in the old office tomorrow therefore, more involved in what I do. I hope. My job still isn't a job and it pays really well considering what I do. Who could ask for me. 2012 probably sees me in Japan. Another perk of my "job". Fingers crossed and praying hard.
I miss my mother-in-law at times like these. She's always nice to me. She's the God-sent angel who takes care of me. I could always count on her to give me good advice at the right time. She may not always be on my side but she always shows how much she loves me. I always wanted that in a mom. Since I never got this from my own mom so *1 brownie point* for me cause i'm blessed like that :) I have been a real bad girl and a pampered prick. I know. I am really sorry, Mom. I love you. Thanks for picking the carrots, garlic, and ginger out from the dishes for me. Thanks for your wonderful cooking, for making the effort to cook salmon if I asked for it the day before, doing our laundry for us, being there when I needed someone to talk to, being the shoulder for me to cry on, being a friend, encouraging me to be a better person and not to sweat the little things and for praying for us incessantly. Thank you for being the mom I never really had.
Sadly, now that I'm at the very end of 2011, only do I realize how good my husband has been to me. My parents-in-law have been away in Australia since the beginning on the month and will be away til February (yes, horror of all horrors). Yes, I actually thought I would die. But, the first month didn't turn out too bad. It allowed Danny to take care of me. Then I began to see how good he actually is to me. Yesterday, we had japanese for dinns. He asked me if I wanted some of his pork rice. I had too much sushi and I told him, I'd like the pork but not the rice. But I also told him it would be unfair to want one but not the other. Coz he'd only have rice to eat then. Guess what? He ate the rice and left the meat!!! for me!!! I'm one blessed girl. He doesn't disappoint. For lunch today he says "I'm gonna cook you a lunch-breakfast. Just you wait". *1 brownie point* for me for choosing Mr. Right.
Yes so many things to be thankful for. I have made a couple of new year resolutions this year. One is to finish my PhD. on time and the other is a secret. I hope they both come true. So to everyone reading this. Have a wonderful year ahead. I wish you love. God speed.
