Goodbye 2016!

It’s that time of the year again, to recap everything that has happened in the year. 

2016 was my first official year of being in the corporate world – without student benefits and student treatment. Though daunting, it has proven to be a much-needed learning journey.

Fresh out of University, there was a whole world of possibilities and opportunities that I had dream of, till reality hit hard and force you into looking at life realistically.

January – Started my internship with NEBA Financial Solutions

April – Ended internship with NEBA

May – Did my first health check-up with CGH; Jobless for a whole 4 weeks before starting work with FedEx as a Revenue Operations Agent; 

July – Signed up for Ukelele lessons (12 classes from July to Sept)

August – Retrenchment exercise/Shortened Contract from 1-year to 8-months

November – Family Trip to Taiwan

Despite the lack of notable events, there are still some tiny accomplishments along the way that I feel have made 2016 special in its own way – my interactions with people.

For one, I had met three secondary school friends whom I have not met in years (6-7 years to be exact). Me, being me, it was a considerably difficult task. Even now, I am impressed with myself. LOL. 

I have also made new friends at my current workplace who could somewhat be seen as my role models - in work and in life. The happy-go-lucky vibes that they bring to the workplace is truly precious and I am so glad that I was able to meet such amazing people during my time here.

With only 3 weeks left at this workplace, I’m starting to feel a little sad, but Dr. Seuss once said, ‘Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened”. I’m going to try my best to put that into practice because I’ve gained so much from these people and I want to leave with a smile on my face.

With 2017 just round the corner, I anticipate the people I would soon meet and the challenges that I would soon face. I’m sure it’s going to be one that is worth remembering - *well, positivity is important right! Hahaha*

Happy New Year!!! :D:D
