Silent Goodbyes
I started out this year with pretty simple resolutions:
- Volunteer at the Assisi Hospice
- Find a Part-time Job
- Train with Aquathalon - Mon (swim), Thurs (run), Sat (swim)
- Treat
themy Body with respect
Proud to say, I probably succeeded at Points 2-4 hehe.
But I might have to re-look into the feasibility of accomplishing Point 1…
ANYWAY, as we bid 2015 goodbye soon, I have decided to take a moment to reflect and be thankful for the past year. (With the help of my previous blog posts, it sure takes me back in time… I could envision myself sitting in Leuven, all cold and miserable, with the pathetic heater and ridiculous walls that were not sound-proof)
Here is a nostalgic walkthrough of each month’s highlight, the past year:
January 2015: Homecoming
Fei Fan flew back from Frankfurt to Singapore + My Homecoming from Europe + Andrew Krygsman’s Passing
February 2015: Ohana
Using my birthday as an excuse to force the Tan Family to partake in a Family Walkathon Day
23rd March 2015: Double-edged sword
Singapore’s Late Founding Father, LKY passed on to meet our Savior on Beatty’s birthday
April 2015: Beginnings
(I’m gonna cheat for this month) But late March was my first ever Aquathlon Race that I managed to complete on my own…
May 2015: Happy Month, indeed
Meeting the Opus Dei Community in Singapore for the first time + Last Semester of SMU + 3 happy years of annoying FF + Many friendship meet-ups
June 2015: My first SEA Games Gold Medalist friend!!!!!
July 2015: Officially an SMU Graduate + Mini Graduation Trip to China & Hong Kong
August 2015: I became a Corporate Slave + SG50 Celebrations
September 2015: First time voting for the MY future Parliament reps
October 2015: Prolonged Haze (thank you, Indonesia) + my EE Weekend Retreat
November 2015: Stay safe in heaven, Baby girl + First friend’s #EverLaustingCarple Wedding dinner
December 2015: Christmas with Loved Ones - friends and family alike
The past year has honestly been the fastest year I have ever experienced… It felt just like last week when I was still in Europe.
Dear incoming 2016,
I believe we will have many struggles;
Work-related, relationships with people, relationship with God, relationship with self.
Hurdles aplenty, struggles - new & old.
As we bid 2015 goodbye, I believe I am better equipped with the necessary experience, knowledge, expertise, and loved ones to help me tide through, come what may.
To my Heavenly Papa,
Thank you.
Let’s rumble!!!!!!
