As I was catching up on my me time on New Years day and watching some Youtube videos, I watched one of my favourite channels do their 2014 Wrap Up - JustKiddingFilms. In the video, they talked about their most memorable moments in 2014. So I got a little inspired to start up this blog again by reflecting on my year that was 2014. What were my most memorable moments? Sometimes time flies by so fast that we forgot what we did and we are too busy to move forward that special moments and memorable moments fade away just like that.
I think one of the big things for me personally was getting fitter. I know every year for the past God-knows how long I've always put to lose weight on my new years resolution. Well, this year I finally (or should I say I think I did) did it. Maybe not lose weight per say, but at least fitter. I signed up to a gym late 2013 (September) and was determined to do something. I was so scared that it would be "hangat hangat tahi ayam" thing but somehow I managed to pull through. So mid 2014, a rallied a few friends to join me in this thing called the Viper Challenge as a goal for me to achieve for 2014 and also something that I could work towards. So to the gym I went, most nights when I have no other plans after work, I would be at the gym for at least 2 hours. In September, I joined the Reebok One Challenge, which was a 20.5 km 15 obstacle race. My very first 20km race, my very first 15 obstacle race. I clocked in at about 3hrs and 40 minutes and can say it wasn't too bad. Then came Viper Challenge (which was what we waited almost half the year) in November, another 20km course but with 20 obstacles.
So I guess, this is one of the memorable moments of 2014.
Another one of the highlights for 2014 is also my trip to India with some friends whom I haven't seen a while. Although not many people would put India as part of their places to go for a holiday, I somehow put India as a special place in my heart. I think it is because my first trip to India was such a memorable one that it makes going back so easy. This is my 3rd time to India but the first to Pune and Panchgani. Being around great company for holidays is definitely much fun. Food was amazing and the weather was great too. It wasn't too hot and up in Panchgani, it was cool and lovely.
2014 is also a year of weddings. Friends who are dearest to my heart got married - Janu, Cynthia, Ling Ling. Being apart of this huge milestone made me feel very grateful that I have amazing friendships that I treasure with all my heart. Definitely wouldn't trade it for anything. It also helps me reflect on what milestones I want to achieve for the new year. Will it be buying place of my own? Finding someone? A boost in my career development?
Being surrounded by people who love you and support you is definitely an awesome feeling. There are many other memorable moments like being with family around (especially when you live alone), outing and catch-ups with friends and spontaneous moments that made 2014 a great one. Of course there were mistakes made and lessons to be learnt in 2014, but lets make today one with happy thoughts! Have you reflected on 2014?
What is your most memorable moment/s for 2014?
Happy New Year everyone and may you and your loved ones be blessed with success in whatever you set your mind to and may you find happiness, joy and laughter in all you do!
Big love filled with hugs and kisses!
