I'm starting 2012 right!
I started 2011 with "New year, new Luna."
Truly, 2011 has been a "new" me, but not completely. In fact, it's more of me improving what I already am, changing the parts of me that I didn't like and meant to change, and believing in myself.
2011 passed by too fast!
I feel this way, because I remember 1.1.11 clearly, until this day. Everyday, I've spent with thanks.
All the days until the last day of 2012, have been spent with the people I love... :)
In 2011, I received more than I ever asked for...! Do I deserve this..? The answer is, "Yes". I shouldn't doubt myself anymore. In the past, whenever I stumbled upon difficulties, I said "I deserve this," but now I am better and stronger than that. All the hardships and difficulties that I faced and will be facing, I was rewarded for in 2011.
I made goals for myself in the middle of 2010, and I've been striking things off of that list as the year passed:
2010 goals
- complete my BSc (Hons) in Digital Media with good grades to the best of my ability
I quit my job for my final project in uni in early 2011. I ended up finishing that nightmare off, and even got second upper class hons on my certificate. I'm proud of myself!
- learn how to read and write Japanese
I finally took up Japanese language classes in late 2011, and I can now read and write super basic Japanese. Going to start my next batch of Elementary classes in Feb 2012~
- learn to understand Arabic (to accomplish with my sister)
I've yet to get to this, but me and my sis have promised each other to do this together.
- fly to Japan by myself around Asia
I'm changing this to accommodate bigger dreams. I've a list of countries that I want to go to, and whether I do that by myself or not... Well, it remains to be seen. ^^ I'd love to go to some places in Europe and of course America, but I'll stay within Asia for the time being. I'd also love to meet my friends in other countries. :) And catch some concerts around Asia!!
- learn some dancing to be more physically fit and active
..Watching MV's multiple times account for this... xD!!! Seriously though, I also can't afford dance classes. :( I'll stick to my comfort zone~
- stop counting my weight and just live happily
I threw out my weighing scale in June 2011! :D Never been better~
- achieve career satisfaction
Everyday I feel that this is just another test from God. I reached a slump with regards to my career / future, but guess what? I'm back in my old part-time job now, and I've sent out 20 resumes within less than a month, with 2 interviews. I'll only be able to complain once I send out my 99th resume. For now though, I am thankful.
Not only did I subconsciously complete some of the goals in my list, I achieved some more along the way!
- took part in two major elections in Singapore: the General Elections, and the Presidential Elections
I voted for change both times. I will keep voting for change for as long as I'm given the privilege to vote for my future.
- music filled my ears like never before in 2011
2NE1 convinced me that girls should never back down. You either take it or leave it!!
I attended my first Super Junior concert, Super Show 3 in Singapore, in January. Life has looked up so much more than ever since that day. There isn't a day without SJ. ♥
Super Junior came back with their 5th album. I call 2011 "The Year of SuJu"!
I went to Seoul with my mom and sis, and even though there were bumps in the road, I enjoyed myself enough.
Only to go back the next month for Super Junior's Super Show 4 World Tour kicking off in Seoul. With seats up FRONT AND CENTER. ♥ Thank you, God! ♥
- drew more and participated confidently in the Artist Alleys of Anime Festival Asia and End Of Year 2011 as Twin Queens Productions
I have my self-confidence and courage in art back, and am slowly working towards producing more art (although I'm still slow, I feel less pressure these days). I am thankful and happy that people are starting to recognize my art and my style, and that means a lot to me.
2011 has been so eventful, I can hardly believe the year's over now. I can only say that I've had a good 2011~ Things that I were unsure of, that worried me, that troubled me even for the slightest bit.. Everything was resolved in due time and fell into place nicely. I only had to concentrate on myself and believe in myself. I just have to work hard and believe in myself. I just have to keep at this and continue!!
In 2012, I already see another tough road mapped out for me ahead. I'll be put through another series of tests by God, and I know He means to tell me "These will make you stronger than ever." I believe in that. Whatever me and my family will be going through.. It will be one of the toughest we'll be going through, ever. But then again, we were made to be tough. We've gone through a lot of difficult times in the past, and the coming storm isn't going to bring us down. We'll only grow stronger!!
"New Luna" is still incomplete, but I'm surely getting there! There are more goals to achieve.. And only more great things to create!!
Another year.. Keep running forward, Luna!
I have 2 more backlog blogposts to take care of, but the New Year takes precedence. xD!!
