2013年， 是个有酸，有甜，有苦的一年。至于辣呢，好像也有哦。

My 2013 in numbers:
1. First time spending my last mins of 2013 and first mins of 2014 outside of my house unplanned. Great dinner, great company and great fireworks – great experience as I stepped into 2014.

2. Learned piano for the second time, the first time being 23 years ago. The start of the piano lessons continued my tradition of learning something new each year and I should be proud that this time has lasted longer than the last time (3 months). In fact, it even lasted over the year. And this was one of the few times which I went against my parents’ opinions for they were in the view that I was too old to pick up the instrument again. I have enjoyed the journey thus far, though struggling to coordinate my 2 hands. Haha.

3. Went Europe 3 times in 2013, Netherlands & Germany, Germany (business trip) and Spain & Portugal. The Netherlands & Germany trip in April was fantastic and we visited main cities in Netherlands and Western and Northern Germany. We also spent our end of Nov in Spain, Portugal and Dubai, experiencing a different European and Middle Eastern culture.

4. Travelled 4 times in the year, with a short trip with my colleagues to Bangkok. Craziness, fun and shopping were the theme of the trip.

5. This year marked my fifth year out of school. I can’t imagine I am THIS old 🙁 Urgh..

8. Ever since I received a dress in 2012 from my manager as a Christmas present, I have started a dress spree last year, buying 8 dresses and receiving 3. Talking about changing image.. Hmm… (p.s. this year she actually bought me a make-up kit)

11. First time organising a BBQ (aka Christmas Party) at my house during Christmas period with my colleagues, a total of 11 of us. Actually, it was my first BBQ in numerous years and it was the first time my friends coming to my house since JC.

12. The last few days of Dec had been a busy one with fun catching up with friends, as well as one with mixed feelings as I had to declare attached on Facebook when I am not :S
