Ok, the year has gone by almost in a breeze. Before I go any further, below is a list of what I had planned to do for today, and what I DID do. Ha.

0930 Get out of bed
1230 Crawled out of bed

1030 Get the laundry done
Laundry is still in the basket

1130 Clean up my room and change the sheets
Room is still a mess and the sheets are still as it was

1230 Get lunch
1400 Got lunch

1400 Be at Esplanade for an appointment
1530 Left house with parents

So you see, basically whatever I had planned did not go exactly as I wanted. All because I slept late. But it is not my fault really, not that I am a lazy bum. Rather, it was because I must have stopped breathing at least four or five times last night because of my sinus and thus did not sleep well and so caused me to sleep in this morning. Sigh, the doctor said I can either have an operation, but it will recur few years down the road, or live with the problem OR, I can be on long-term medication, which means continually feeding my system with steriods and antibiotics. Not very attractive options. So I decided to live with it as long as I can. Well, at least I am happy.

Life has been pretty amazing this year. I got out of an unhappy work environment, found a job I like, working with people I can agree with; just received news of an early confirmation and an increment. Travelled more than I ever did the past 25 years, met more people and learnt more things of life than I had. More importantly, I am beginning to feel good about myself again after so long. I must say though a huge part of it has to do with me adjusting my attitude towards life and learning what should be my priorities and who should be my critics. It is not about surrounding myself with people who only say nice things about me, it is about being around people who are honest yet non-judgemental to me.

I have had a fruitful time this year. No regrets. No grudges.
