As i look back at the year, i feel a sense of bittersweet nostalgia and i'm thankful that 2013 has treated me well (enough).

In 2013...

1. I struck off one major item from my bucket list. To overcome my fear of heights and bungy!



For this, i must give big credit to Ping for spurring me on. It was crazy jumping from the Kawarau Bridge on a cold winter day in Queenstown!

2. I owned my first pandora bracelet, given by the boyfriend for my birthday.



He put on every charm for me and arranged them according to themes/meaning. Thank you 

3. I managed to have a few getaways despite my busy schedule - to BKK, KL, HK and NZ :)



I left my heart in NZ, for so many reasons.

4. Running man finally came to SG and we were lucky to get the autograph passes!

5. We celebrated my dad's 60th birthday and my bro's 21st. Two different milestones of life hehe.

6. I saw through my first batch of graduating students (after 2 years).



And i'm thankful for a very sweet form class, 2D.

7. I was promoted, to my surprise. i wouldn't have been able to survive without caring colleagues who looked out for me, and my good friends who stood by me. Although we have misunderstandings at times, they put up with me and my rantings. For that, i'm very thankful. And needless to say, my 2 major pillars of support, Sean and my dad :)

8. I spent christmas eve catching fireworks at a special place with my special boy.



9. I fell sick many times, had numerous gastric problems, the worst food poisoning and flu. i can't imagine going through these 2 episodes again, puking non-stop and shivering with a temperature of 39 degrees.

10. I cried, laughed, loved and was loved. These may seem trivial but i realised how fragile life can be and to make each moment count. i'm thankful for being able to see through another year.

And since it is officially past midnight, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014!
