I'm not going to start by saying, "it's been a long time since I last updated here!", because that's lame! Not going to start the first post of 2017 that way, and I certainly want to stop writing that. I need to find time and space in my mind to just sit down and write write write. Just yesterday, a friend had asked me about blogging, and the weirdest thing happened. I found myself talking non-stop about how amazing it is to blog, why she should do it, and how to set up the blog. I suppose that's what passionate people are like?
Yes, I'm passionate about blogging! Can't you tell? Okay, if you can't tell that I've changed to a whole new template, then you're a horrendous subscriber! Well, actually it's not completely your fault. I just haven't written anything for so long...brain becomes a bit scared to go full out. That's also not healthy because it just means my brain is STUCK! I don't want it to be stuck...so here I am! New look and feel which will hopefully bring me back to writing-mode.
So before I move into 2017, I want to highlight a few things about 2016:
- attended Thai friend wedding in Bangkok
- moved into a new area - new condo
- met up with baddy girls Monica Mui and Alice Man in Singapore
- hosted my friend Alice Man (hopefully she enjoyed her mini-KL getaway)
- played tennis for the first time in YEARS at Lake Club
- took a photoshoot session in Taipei
- included Cheng Wen Hsing into our Tuesday baddy group
- visited Macau and Hong Kong with the parents and le sister
- celebrated my birthday in Rio
- attended Bon/Steve's wedding back in Vancouver
- got a new windshield for my car
- watched 21 movies
- assisted at 9 tournaments last year - 11 weeks of work travel
- participated in my 3rd Olympic Games at Rio2016
- managed two successful dinners - Kunshan & Dubai
- delivered 99% of all promo activity requests from hosts/sponsors
- spent New Year's countdown in Hokkaido
Yup, definitely accomplished and experienced a bunch in 2016. Wasn't an easy year - I combed through my calendar and all I could see were what I labelled as "Work Reflections", which were mostly a recap of an incident at work that I just needed to write down to forget. Ironic eh? Writing it down to forget it. But hey, it works. Best part is, I can't even remember most of those incidents by looking at their titles - that normally doesn't happen as I do brag at times about my amazing memory of all things experienced. Yes, not always the most important things, but I remember them anyway.
So here we are in 2017. What the heck does that mean? It means, I've started my new approach to life. I've taken up bullet journaling - and I can't wait to go back to Taiwan for Chinese New Year because the bookstores are full of colorful pens to write with and stickers to go into my book; started to exercise more regularly and watch my health; and most importantly, take myself less seriously and learn to enjoy life. Whatever it offers.
Anyhoos, time to hit the gym. It's taken you a good 10 minutes to read this so time to move your bottoms too, peeps! Let's not just start strong - continue strong! Together.
