2018 was by far the best year of my life.
I overcame one of my biggest fears - and that was driving a car. For the longest time, I had always thought I'd be a bad driver because of that one time I lost control of a buggy in 2011, I thought omg I should never get on the roads. But when I eventually did my lessons, my driver actually told me... I was a good driver lolll. And I passed my test on the very first try. I learnt to overcome irrational thought and fear. The past never defines your future.
I did many other first things too - like getting my open water diving cert and getting my ears pierced (finally!!)
And of course, becoming a reporter was one of the most defining moments of 2018. I've been to so many places in Singapore, met and talked to so many people. And... I covered NDP live - it was on my checklist. I know, how patriotic haha, but seriously, every year, I'd watch the reporters do it and I told myself, I'd do it someday. Never did I ever imagine the day would come so soon. Truly a dream come true.
Prior to becoming a reporter, I had my first promotion in my career as well :-) Perhaps, my boss pitied my measly pay so he decided to jack it up. All of this couldn't have happened without my bosses' support - something I'm very thankful for.
In the same year, I travelled to the most beautiful places I'd ever been to in my life - Sri Lanka and Bhutan. Hidden gems in the world - and I'm sure, I'll be back.
2018 was the best year not just for me - but also my family.
My brother got married, my cousins got married, my dad turned 60 and threw a party, my mom won the lottery (twice, lol), we got a new car, our house got a brand new look. I reconnected with many of my old friends, and became a lot closer to my good friends.
2018 was eventful and truly a good year.
So eventful that I even got wasted three times hahah, blacking out and not knowing when or how I blacked out. Made my parents worried, macam I hit puberty at 26 cus I was hitting the clubs and getting home drunk all the time bahah. But it was all in good fun lah, and kids, do it with friends you trust. I had good friends to take care of me so maybe that's why I overdid the booze. But of course, that's no excuse hahah.
With that, I hope 2019 will be just as eventful. Remember how I said I sensed 2018 would be a good year? Let me tell you, I think 2019 will be just as good, or even better. And I can't wait already ;)
New Year's Resolutions? Heck that, let it all flow and come to you and remember to be mindful at every waking moment. Let 2019 be the best there'll ever be.
