2012 Year Ender
December 31, 2012
Yes yes, I have not written in eons so this is my obligatory year ender post.
How was my 2012?
Well, for one the world didn’t end so that’s a good thing, I guess…
Like every other year, 2012 has been filled with ups and downs. Let’s start with the ups.
- Rob came to visit for 3 months, March-June.
- We went on our first out-of-the-country trip together to Phuket and had a blast, with a brief stop in KL. Phuket was FABULOUS! Definitely wanna go back again.
- Bought myself my first semi-pro camera, the Olympus Pen. It’s pretty awesome!
- Lost some weight, although most of it was gained while Rob was here so I guess I’m back to square one. *shrug*
- Bought a house and it will be ready by end of 2013 or early 2014. Nothing fancy, just a simple double-storey intermediate terrace house. Damn real estate in Kuching is getting so expensive! Price went up 10k in a matter of 2 weeks. Full story on that some other time (This point is half an “up” and a “down”).
- It’s fun talking with Rob about what we want for the house, i.e decor, appliances etc.
- Finally got a computer at work so that means I don’t have to lug my laptop up 3 floors everyday.
- Got into the habit of going for morning walks before work when possible.
Downs:
- Sold my soul to the bank AKA bought a house. This means less money going to retail therapy. *sadface*
- Work bums me out sometimes, mainly due to the people I have to work with.
- Lacking weekends because it seems I’m working more on weekends these days.
- When I work weekends, it means I can’t sleep in as much as I used to.
- Issues of faith, which I shall not go into details here.
- Issues of spirituality…kinda related to above mentioned point.
- Car fixes which have amounted to almost RM1k (which this can also be an “up” because it could’ve cost me more).
That’s about all I can think of right now.
Anyhow, I’m going to head to bed before the fireworks go crazy but I think there won’t be much going on because it’s raining quite heavily right now. For that I am HAPPY!
Happy New Year and have a fantastic 2013!
