Bad memory of mine these days, I got so used to thinking I had this long list of resolution from last year. But reading back on my past post (first one in 2011), what I wrote was simply this:
Brave new environments.
Brave new people.
Brave new challenges.
Brave tough times.
It was something like a pep talk for myself as I stepped into my first real job as a multimedia designer. Thinking back, I thought this frame of mind that I set myself into was simply brilliant. I don't know if I adhered to these rules consciously or not, but it certainly got me through the year. Rui has this tendency to ask us to sum up the year in three words, I could think of only one very appropriate one: WORK.
Confucious once said, "Do what you love and you need not work a single day." I think it was Confucious. Hah. I thought that was complete bs. Or maybe rather my actions were not exactly to his words. I do not love what I'm doing, but I do love what I can do. This first year of working life got me down more times than I cared to count. I have another 30 years to go, maybe? Oh my.
I have been an awful blogger this year. So much so I didn't post a single thing for the last two months. Sorry 2011, I wasn't able to bid you a proper farewell.

Happy New Year, KQ!
I don't know about you, but whenever we change classes each year in high school (F4 and F5 is a bit different because classmates barely changed) there's this strange sense of unfamiliarity (I'm assuming this is a valid word). But by the end of the year, having spent months together, I find myself at ease hence much more confident.
I haven't achieve this yet at work even after a year. I consoled myself by saying that I lost the privelege of starting from a similar point - that we're all at different levels. Having said that, there's a voice within that assures me that I will eventually get there though.
WORK -> MONEY -> GOODIES! :D
(repeat cycle for more goodies!)
Happy new year, Adrienne!
Work > Money > Goodies!!
It'll shall be my mantra this year. I need it. Hah!
Can't wait for you to be back. Was it two years since you were last back home?! Then we literally have years to catch up.
