Looking back at 2012

Well, it's that time of the year again. 2012 seems to pass by like a blur.

It's been a whirlwind ride this year, full of ups and downs. At the beginning of the year, my career luck was like shit while my love life was going strong. Then everything took a drastic turn towards the middle of the year. My lowest point in life ever, at which I thought I would never be able to climb up again.

Yet I got through it, even better, my career luck was improving. Having failed the interviews for the "prestigious" airline of Singapore three times, and its subsidiaries twice, I was bummed out and my self-esteem was near to zero. Maybe I just wasn't cut out for the job. Maybe I just gotta suck it in and live with a boring mundane ground job for the rest of my life.

Then I saw an ad for another airline, and yet another later on. Both of which I went, and both of which I managed to go all the way through. Before I know it, I was off to training in London for six weeks. A truly memorable experience which I would not trade for anything else.

So here I am, the last day of 2012. My greatest achievement of the year, to have finally secured my dream job. I grew fiercely more independent having no one to depend on anymore. I grew stronger, probably at the strongest I've ever been.

And for 2013, I wish for a smooth-sailing career, happiness and health for my loved ones and myself. Looking back at my resolutions for this year.........

1. Start saving and for God's sake clear my endless debts from the cycle of being broke and lending money from my mum then paying back and being broke again.
2. To not be afraid of going after my dreams and live the life I want.
3. Donate (and I said this before on Twitter) to ASD every month.

I guess I've finally fulfilled my first two resolutions for this year and I will fulfill the last one next year I promise!  

Resolutions for 2013:

1. Open up a savings account and not spend every penny since I'm earning now
2. To never let myself be dependent on anyone but me again. 
3. Manage my time properly and make it a point to catch up with my loved ones amidst all the flying.

And, just be happy.
