2005 + 2006 Post

Hmm, for the past day, I have been thinking what to write for my 2005 review post. Cewah, kata nak buat mega review konon :D

Work / Career

This year has been the year where my career got a few shocks n adjustments but became clearer. I went from one big firm to another ..doing the same thing, realizing in the end, that I hated it. When that came out, there was relief and when I left, I knew that I made the right decision.

Now, I am doing something that I like doing it. More challenging, more tai-chi, but at least, it is something that I enjoy doing .. so far :-p .. I think I'm going to pursue this line la ... even though, the RM is less, but it is enjoyable. It is true folks .. when u love what you are doing, it does not become a chore ..it becomes a pleasure..

for 2006, I hope to continue and explore this arena, plus another endeavor which is still in 'pusing2 dalam kepala' stage

Personal

This one got so many subplots :D hehehe ..

Family - what can I say, is I appreciate my family more, esp. my parents .. I guess I am now mellowing and letting go of the past ..

Self - I have finally accepted that whatever it is, I can choose and responsibe for my choice and its consequences. Better peace of mind. ;-)

Love - I realized I kept repeating the same mistakes. And when I just opened my mind and just chilled, she came. Tq to my sister for the advice that she gave me, before I met her. It is a new experience and I am enjoying it :D

Financial - an improvement but will do better ;-)

Friends - I have made many new friends, through blogging especially, and offline.

Studies

Thank God for the assistance and strength He gave me to do it this year. The two semesters were very challenging, and syukur I did quite ok. I have one semester left and then graduation around July 2006. All the sweat and pain was worth it. Lesson learnt : The fruits of hard earned labor and commitment is very2 sweet indeed.

Overall

It might be strange to say this, but 2005 has been the year that I kind of like woke up and start focusing on what I want in life. Yeah, baru sedar ye ... I am still evolving, yet I can see and feel confident about the future ... I think that it really began, when I told myself to be responsible for myself .. in the end, it's all about your choice kan :-)

A special shout out to some of my online blog friends ;-) cookie,acat
Inn, Rafthah. Thank you for letting me be a part of your online lives, and vice versa.

Inn - for her inspiring words :-)
Acat n Cookie - for keeping my faith in love :D
Rafthah - the alter ego I can only wish to be ;-)


My song for this post .. one of my favorite inspiring songs ..

Lift Me Up - Geri Halliwell -

Watch the first light, kiss the new world
It's a wonder, baby like you and I.
All the colours of the rainbow.
Going somewhere, baby like you and I.
It's going to be allright.
But when my sky clouds over...

(Lift me up) When the day is over.
(Take me up) When the sun is going down.
(Show me love) I will be your angel now.
(Lift me up) When the lights are fading.
(Talk me down) When I'm flying way up high.
(Show me love) And I'll be your angel for life.
Your angel for life.

Like the seasons ever changing.
Everlasting, baby like you and I.
It's going to be allright.
But when my sky clouds over...

(Lift me up) When the day is over.
(Take me up) When the sun is going down.
(Show me love) I will be your angel now.
(Lift me up) When the lights are fading.
(Talk me down) When I'm flying way up high.
(Show me love) And I'll be your angel for life.
Your angel for life.

No matter where we run.
Who knows what we will become.
Is there a world we know.
Where life will naturally.

(Lift me up) When the day is over.
(Take me up) When the sun is going down.
(Show me love) I will be your angel now.
(Lift me up) When the lights are fading.
(Talk me down) When I'm flying way up high.
(Show me love) And I'll be your angel for life.
Your angel for life.
