Since we are now a little more than a quarter into 2018, I wouldn't think it necessary to expound on the whole of my twenty seventeen right into its teeny weeny bit of details. Let's just say I will always see this year as a year in limbo — not quite here yet not quite there. In fact, I spent only four months last year in official employment. It's not like I didn't know what I wanted (and I meant this on several levels) but I feel like people generally extol the virtues of not giving up on a certain endeavour but no one actually tells you stopping is a viable option you should give yourself. I knew my self worth wasn't tied to a job or any person in particular and most of 2017 was really about manifesting my hopes and ambitions into something real and Im taking all the lessons I have learnt through different people into where I am right now at this stage of my life.
2017 — I did a fair bit of travelling (and even travelled solo for the first time ever!) / Completed my Goodreads challenge of reading 13 books by the end of the year (was totally on a Dan Brown roll) / Still Your Girl by Jannine Weigel tops my 2017 Spotify list / I will go to you like the first snow by Ailee from Guardian OST comes in second / The Green Mile defo had been the best film I watched last year / Picked up film photography through the purchase of disposable film cameras / Also picked up the idea of making overnight oats for breakfast / Stadium runs w shamaine + weekend gym sesh (followed by the occasional The Playground Coffee meals right after) w adeline and serene <3
It was also the year my closer friends started getting married off hahaha / Blasted through a very gruelling BTT w adeline (the evaluation tests, rather) but breezed through FTT + driving lessons every Sunday / Gut spasm, who knew? / Dusty memories from my house upgrading works / Stepped into commonwealth for the first time ever since graduation I think ??? / New job @ WBL Engineering & Distribution / Ended the year off on a sweet note with River Safari + Zoo visits w the css girls + Prudential carnival w xinyi + quick brunch w ex-colleagues + gift exchange w the poly girls (TOTORO!!!) <3
What I plan for 2018 is to be very open to meeting new people, and to cull the courage and confidence to be a better person, and allowing laughter, good health, growth and creativity to permeate every aspect of life (:
