its new year eve today! Before we usher in the new yr 2007, i guess i shld do some reflections on the past year..i must say 2006 was no doubt an extremely eventful yr for me. despite the several downs i went through, it was still a very memorable yr :)
2006 highlights/ learning points
1) took up my 1st 'full time' job @ AGAPE student care for 6mths. chose a child-related job over others as i wanted to put myself to a test to see if im suitable to wk with kids as i wld want to in future.
learnt alot of useful skills in the process-- effective teaching, creating rapport of collegues & students, planning cirriculum and parenting skills(HAHA), doing household chores like mopping, vacuuming, clearing kid's vomit (ewww:(), helping out in the kitchen!
it was really a great experience, n i do miss my kids alot..although dey can b very irritating at times.
2) FINALLY went to europe!!:) tt place was sucha paradise..the churches n other buildings were magnificent! all the yummy fondues! snow! my great tour group frens..totally enjoyed the 2wks there!
3) having the courage to finally leave a 4yr relationship after 2+yrs of tolerance. it definitely wasnt an easy thing to do..in fact it was a very difficult decision.
but.. thanks girlfren no.1 chernie n my darling for being there the past yr till date, when i was going thru a rough patch..wldnt b able to do it alone. i guess i shld have known somethings earlier n not drag things 4 so long..but it doesnt matter anymore, we learn something new everyday dont we:)
i guess theres lots to learn frm this. n probably the most impt one is nv to keep accumulated unhappiness unsettled cos believing tt one-way accomodation will work is NEVER true. it fact, it'll backfire on you instead. it always takes 2 hands to clap..so likewise!:)
4) SUPERB dance opportunties. fantastic performing year!
participated in my 1st outside dance competition --Girls' Nation Dance battle, n we, WUSA, got CHAMPIONS :)) so proud of u girls! 3rd in the solo category for Amore dance search
clocked more than 20 performance frm UAN, amore fitness & groove studio.
conquered almost all genres of dance this yr :) my goal's almost achieved!
5) volunteer at a new centre : Convenant FSC. Blessed to have a mentee who has similar interest - dance. really sweet girl whom i admire..cos despite her many family problems, she still appears very cheerful :)
6) the girlfrens/guyfrens, for bothering to meet up even school has ended!

8) drive!!!:)) yay
9) refurnished my room!
10) n of cos not forgetting, found the other-half :) thanks dear, for everything..
SOOO much of recollections frm the past yr, 2006 will definitely b a year worth remembering:) now, i shall end of with the Typical new yr resolutions..
