Wrappin’ up the year….

Another remarkable year is coming to its end. I must admit, this year had been pretty challenging and lots of decision making moments for me. As we count the last remaining days of the year, it struck to me that my grey hair had multiplied and now they show up, from my silky black hair, in a glossy shade of white, proud to stand out among the black hair. o__O

Acks!!!

I feel so bummed! All of a sudden, I feel that my body’s metabolic rate had slowed down, my hearing is getting slower, my bones are starting to rattle and my teeth are loosening!!! Am I being ushered ungallantly into the “Auntie-hood”? Unwillingly as I am, I had to admit that I have reached the PEAK of my lifetime, per say. Do all gals feel this way? As we approach an age, which most people consider to be a mature and settled number, do we feel pressured by society rules? About having to be married, settled down, having kids & the white picket fence and all….you know what I mean. I have not got all of that done, but I guess, I have achieved most things that I had always wanted to date. I’m happy. Contented.

Anyway, to wrap up this year, I would say that I had learnt many lessons which altered my point of view, my flexibility, my tolerance and some of my annoying bad habits ^__^ Working with children in the year 2006 had been enriching and rewarding. I have never had so much of laughter and tears before working with children and it had been MOST DELIGHTFUL!!!

So, it’s time for looking back at what I had done the entire year now. I’ve been flipping over the past journals I have kept this year and reading through the trying times, the joyful moments and the hilarious ones. What I was really really glad was that I had persistently written an entry every single day, albeit the lack of details of some days when I was just too lazy to record. Other than those days, I had somewhat a cool collection of memories. So, to me, this is something I’m really proud of myself i.e. to be able to be consistent in doing something. I have always been someone who’d rush into something, doing it halfway through and neglect it to do some other things. Yup, that’s why this year, I feel I have completed more things by focusing on one thing at a time ^__^

So, if I don’t make any entries till next year….Well,

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
