2015 is over?

It is the last day of 2015! Crazy how time flies, in a glance 2015 is over. Have you accomplished whatever you set out in the beginning of 2015? It has been a good year for me I would say. Managed to do and accomplish quite a few things. So now I shall list them as I sit down and reflect my 2015:

1. Era's Wedding - One of my best friends got married and it was such a wonderful wedding, both here and in Labuan. Most chilled wedding I have ever been to. A wedding with the closest of friends and family and definitely a milestone for my darling friend.

2. Chinese New Year  - Melbourne! First time celebrating CNY out of Malaysia and it was definitely different. We didn't have houses to visit but we had family. Since we didn't have anyone to visit, we did a road trip on the Great Ocean Road. My best friend from home, Hsei Di came along to and we had so much fun - BBQ, Beach and Koalas!

3. Russell Peters 'Almost Famous' Live - A couple of friends and I managed to catch Russell Peters live in KL and it was AWESOME! Seeing one of you favourite comedians live is definitely one thing to remember. He is funny and cracks you up

4. Backstreet Boys Concert - Thanks to my brother who managed to get tickets for us for our childhood dreams to come true! My girls and I sang to our hearts content and screamed like we never screamed before. 

5. Diving License - I quite my job of 3 and half years and took a 2 weeks break back to Labuan. While I was there, I managed to get my diving license which I have been wanting to do for a long long time. Initially, I thought I had a fear of the dark waters, but after being in the water, I loved it! I look forward to start diving next year!

6. Robi is Born! - Another bestie of mine gave birth to cute baby boy! So happy that I am an aunt again!

7. Races - I did 7 this year, one got cancelled due to the haze. I never thought I would be a race junkie, here I am already did 7 and have already signed up for 2 next year. I know that this is something I love doing although I still hate the washing up after.

       

8. I am a TEACHER -  Like I said, I quite my job! I am now a teacher in an international school teaching 5-6 year olds (Year 1). It is definitely a new challenge as I have not formally taught before. There are a lot to learn and thankfully I have colleagues that are nice and helpful, which makes working a lot less stressful. One of the perks of being a teacher is the school holidays! Who doesn't love holidays?

9. NEW CAR! - I bought a car! My most expensive purchase so far! A cute little Myvi which I can call my own. I have been driving it around for a month and so far so good! Feel more grown up now with so called the 'commitment'

10. The BIG 3-0! - I turned 30 this year and boy I feel old! Hahaha.. I usually don't think much into my birthday but this year, I felt a little down. Somehow I felt a little under-achieved when I compare my life with others. Sometimes it is hard not to compare and to feel like your life is nothing compared to others who have successful career, fantastic job, married or even a happy family! But fret not, it was a passing moment and I am definitely grateful with the life I have been blessed with and continue to strive for a better and happier one!

This are some of the highlights of 2015. Of course there are so many other highlights from 2015 that I treasure (like picking up painting, colouring) but I am getting tired of typing. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, I am sure that you have seen what I have gone through the past year. I believe 2016 is going to be greater! I already have a few plans in mind! So watch this space or Facebook to be posted!

To all of you reading this, Have a wonderful 2016, party safe and BE AWESOME! <3>
