Bring On 2011!

Some weeks ago, we were having cell group meeting and we had to think of a word to describe our 2010.

The word that I have chosen was "New".

2010 was "new" because it was full of new experiences, new stages of my life, new friends, new responsibilities.

Jan 2010

I got my licence (just before pop's bday)!!!

Feb 2010

"Married off" our first Chaos girl :)

May - June 2010

Had the best travel experience ever for my Grad trip :)

The month-long Spirit of Europe trip saw

- new friends (more than 30 of them)

- new experiences of "backpacking", doing midnight laundry in the middle of the trips, staying at hostels, planning our own itinerary, and tons more exciting new things

- exploring new places that swept me off my feet and keeps me wanting to return

- new loooots! :X

June 2010

Embarked on the next stage of my life with my 1st perm job :)

Feels really blessed that the workplace is really near to home, I'm doing sth that I'm interested in and I've met lovely people :) To top it off, poppy's just 2 levels down and XM's working opposite!

July 2010

Officially GRADUATED!

Aug to Dec 2010

It's crazy how the few months zoomed past, I must have been kept sufficiently occupied :) Numerous new experiences along to way:

- Took interviews in the very room I had mine just some months ago

- Brought in new staff

- Went for career talks and fairs

- Designed job adverts

- Participated in my 1st "Amazing Race" and won 2nd!

- Ran a 10K marathon

- Went through ISO audit (:X)

- Got my own namecards :)

- Experienced the exhilaration of seeing the figures in my bank account grow (slowly)

- Got my 1st BONUS :D

And also held new responsibilities:

- Started giving allowances to my family

- Bought and started paying for my own insurance

- Able to treat my family to nice food and little gifts occasionally

- Bought Christmas presents for all my loved ones with my OWN money for the first time

2010 had been a yr of transitions and changes, as 2011 rolls in with new challenges and new opportunities, I remain thankful for what 2010 had taught me and pray for renewed strength and motivation to take on 2011 with great faith and enthusiasm!
