2015 did not disappoint. There are definitely ups and downs but I would think there were more ups than downs.

As usual, started the year celebrating my 27th birthday. No big fancy celebrations,just intimate affair. Had a few 'surprises' for my birthday and I'm grateful for it :)

So I have officially worked for a year. Work has been pretty okay actually. Stressful definitely but I think I'm slowly coping with it. I'm thankful I have the opportunities.

Fast forward to June, Thomas and I finally decided it was time for him to come over and see if we could progress further. And we did :) Would probably write a full post of it when I have the time, just for future reference sake.

It was a very short trip though, so as soon as he went back to the states, we booked another flight for December! This time round it was for 2 weeks!

It was probably the only thing I was looking forward to. However, in November, we received a very sad news that my paternal grandma passed away. It was not sudden but still, really sad. 

Anyway, December 14th came and Thomas was here till 28th December. It was an amazing 2 weeks spent with him :) 

I'm glad overall my 2015 was wrapped up pretty nicely. 

Looking forward to a more fulfilling and exciting 2016! Hope it will be an even better year! Please be good 2016!!

I actually typed out a pretty longass post on my iPhone and accidentally deleted it! -_-

Anyway,as this is my yearly ritual to round up the year's happening,I just had to do it again.

2014 has been a pretty okay year for me. Started off as usual, celebrated my 26th birthday in January and nothing significant happened after that. It was the usual school stuff and my last term was in September. 

I remember feeling really stressed out and struggling in school and exams that i think i had a mini 'depression'. Yup, self-diagnosed.Haha! But it was pretty bad to the extent i would cry for no reason and just wanted to isolate myself from everyone. I guess i really gave myself a lot of unnecessary stress as i kept telling myself i have to graduate no later than 2014. It was not even an option for me because i really wanted to finish ASAP. I needed like 30+ marks to pass my workplace law paper as it carries a freakin' 70% but i left out like 2 questions which was worth a total of 35 marks! After the paper i was demoralised to the max. I even almost cried in the exam room (which i have never experienced before) and really broke down after the paper. It's quite hilarious to think back but i still think it's a miracle i managed to clear it! So yes, i finally graduated on the 12th October 2014. Proudest day of my life! So i'm officially a graduate!

I think i have never been more proud of myself because i finally pulled through it,even though i know there were people who were doubtful of it. But sad thing was, the whole family was overseas..TMD.Only my mom managed to attend and some of my friends.I think Dad felt guilty that he actually agreed to take a family photo together!Wooooooot!

Anyway, after graduation, I wanted to take a few months break and probably take a graduation trip before starting work. However, being the impatient + itchy fingers me decided to apply for various jobs online since a lot of people have been telling me it's rather challenging to get a job after graduation. I got a few job offers after i applied but i had to turn down some because of the location and salary (i know right, then why did i bother to apply in the first place?) Hehehe! But alas, i managed to get a job soon after and started almost immediately! I mean my official work starts in January 2015 but they allowed me to start working right after my on-the-job training.So wooohooooo!:D 

There are progressions in getting to know that special someone too,so hopefully in time to come, it will be even better :)

I know 2015 will be a year with more new responsibilities but i'm pretty excited to see what's in store for me. 

Thank you and goodbye 2014. 
Welcome 2015, I hope you will be an even better year!:)
