2006- The year in retrospect

2006...A year filled with ups and downs, twists and turns and unforseen outcomes both positive and not so positive. With 2007 only a couple days away...I felt it would be ideal to reflect on 2006...

Ahh...yes. 2006 is definitely a year filled with many exciting and unexpected turning points.

The year that saw my return to the motherland. And mother.

The year that saw my uphill challenges with adjusting back to life in the motherland.

The year that made me realise I'm a different person with a whole new outlook in life. Asian society views it as arrogance. Western society views it as open-mindedness.

The year that I realised why the family matters greatly. They love you no matter what happens. I thank them.

The year that saw me wanting to be a better son.

The year that made me realise the importance of continuos learning.

The year that saw me making some bad decisions leaving a cushy well-paying job with a buch of fun loving associates

The year that saw a period of unemployment.

The year that saw secured employment that I've had been wanting to pursue.

The year that saw many people settling down with their loved ones

The year that saw some people seperating from their loved ones.

The year that saw me dealing with a crushing blow to the heart from a loved one.

The year that saw me broadened my social and professional horizons.

The year that I returned to the people whom I missed or catch up with while away.

The year that I finally got my first ICT-reservist.

The year that saw me unwillingly sell away my souped up sexy red moped.

The year I left wonderful Walmart, coming back to practical IKEA

The year where I quit, cut-down, picked up, quit, cut-downed, picked up fuckin Marlboro Lights

The year that I left dingy bars in one island, coming back to visit more dingy bars in another.

The year that I learned to appreciate the simpler things in life

The year that I realised I'm only a year...ok as of now 4 months away from the big 3-0

The year that I finally utilised my condominium facilities.

The year I discovered many new restaurants

The year that saw me finally not pay rent.

The year that saw me washing the car in a drive through in Singapore.

The year that saw me educating, and imparting skills and experiences to the masses.

The year that just seemed to go by so fast.

2007. Ready when you are....towards a better one. Live and let live.
