If there was a particular year in my life whereby I can safely say I have accomplished many things, it would have to be 2015, although I have a hunch that the upcoming year will be an even greater year of accomplishments.
Usually people will say that they have made a switch in the industry they are in, but I for one, have added an industry into my resume and I am so proud of myself for that. I am now a certified licensed financial advisor and technically, I'm using this switch to take over the loss in income from giving tuition for a good 8 years apart from doing events and engaging in various projects.
I've a friend who told me that a plus point about me is that - I have always known for sure what I wanted. Be it in terms of career, in life, in friendships, in relationships, I always had a clear image of what I want and do not want, who I want to keep in my life and who I wanted to eliminate or flush out of my system. Some of these decision making could have stemmed from certain selfish opinionated reasons but when it comes down to it all, I am making decisions for myself and for my own happiness.
Some time in May, I did a hiatus from any form of social life and didn't step out of house in 10 days straight and then I realised, I am actually okay and self-sufficient with being at home and being alone. In actual fact, I was actually trying to purge all the old in my room. I think I came out from that slightly more refreshed and mega accomplished with the fact that I was clearing out my room. (My room is forever in a mess haha)
I also did a healthy and wonderful amount of traveling, of which included, Hat Yai, Bangkok, Korea, Turkey, Greece, New York, Norway and you cannot miss out the most amazing of all, Iceland. Everybody needs to visit Iceland because it is one of the most beautiful place I've ever been to and the experience was nothing short of epic and magical. I am so thankful for my travel buddies who made life and my vlogs that much more interesting. Youtube has kept my life somewhat entertaining and I really enjoy it. The only problem is to find time to actually sit down to film some videos and taking the time to edit them.
Some worthy mention people of 2015:

Thanks dear, for still finding the time to meet up with me here and there. I'm glad we can still laugh over the same nonsense that we once used to laugh at when we were still in school together.

You can say I have an affinity with J's but you are no doubt a very special one.
Thank you for coming into my life and being the best Christmas present one could ever ask for.
Let's create memories in 2016 together, love.
For the year of 2016,
I hope that all the plans I have set out for in terms of career will soar and blossom. There are exciting things coming up and I cannot wait to share them with you all. I am a little overwhelmed and slightly scared, yet excited about all the projects I have in the pipeline for 2016. It will definitely be a year of accomplishments and I probably need to start stocking up on miracle pills to pull everything off but I am very sure that everything will be worth it.
I have a hunch that 2016 will be nothing short of amazing and I can't wait!
Xoxo
