Goodbye 2010 Happy 2011 List

Another year has flown by, another year older, another batch of new year resolutions that may never materialise....  

Time to review the past year and look forward to the exciting plans of the new year!

Things I'm happy about in 2010:
  • I had my own business.  I was the boss lady hahaha
  • Open water scuba diver qualified in Ponta D'Oura - first time in Mozambique, good times!
  • Going to Taipei, Tao Yuan, Tai Chung for the first time, attended a wedding, shopped, ate and partied a lot!
  • Lots of girls' nights, lots of KTV nights!
  • Going to one of the most beautiful weddings ever in CT in August.  Possibly also the most embarrassing one of my life.  But beautiful!
  • My together forever who started the year with me in NC and more together forever than EVER. lol that sounds funny when I read it out loud in my head....
  • My wifey who started the year with me in NC and also ENDED the year with me in my somewhat tipsy happy state!
  • Mozambique AGAIN, but Inhambane this time and advance scuba diver qualified!  Woohoooooo~!!
  • My bestest friendie Ji-Won being in SA for so many months this year and spending all that time eating and getting fat together.
  • Hong Kong with Ji-Won and Ivy.  We make the best travel buddies ever.  We never disagreed when anyone of us suggested to let's go eat again....
  • Going to the World Cup Final and freezing my arse and falling asleep after having paid an arm and a leg for that ticket hahaha
  • Braces on and braces off!  All in one year!
  • Long curly hair to short boy's hair!
Things to look forward to in 2011:
  • Three months of I-totally-dunno-what-to-expect India and tons of yoga!
  • Mauritius with my girls!
  • Seeing my 38 again and her new apartment in Tao Yuan in less than 6 months!
  • Seeing my husband and her company paid for apartment in Beijing in less than 9 months!
  • Seeing my honey and her new apartment in Canberra in less than 12 months!
  • Travelling with the 3 girls upstairs to Bali!!!!
  • Lots of eating, lots of praying, lots of loving.....
I put out these happy lists every now and then to help myself remember how blessed I am and the amount of things I have to be thankful for.  As the day of departure approaches, my emotions are mixed with excitement and sadness.  Although I may act like I'm super excited and keen to get out of this place, please know that I'm hiding my sadness as I know for sure that I will miss all my dear friends very very very much x 1000000000000000000000000000000000 to infinity and beyond.  No amount of new friends that I make elsewhere can replace the special place that I have for you in my heart, I promise.  You all know who you are.  Despite the sadness of having to part ways with you, we must all move on with our lives until our paths cross again...  Or when we pop up on each other's facebook news feed ;)
