2013 - The Recap

Phewww....it's the last day of the Gregorian calendar...this was indeed an interesting year.. and I'm having mixed emotions right now (well, partly because I have a huge backlog of things that I haven't finished and I want to go back early like everybody else)

Anyway, to summarize 2013:

1. Dad had been ill since Oct/Nov 2012, we had to push him on wheelchair most of the times. But came January 2013, he was totally bedridden and totally lost strength of his four limbs.
2. Went to umrah with my parents in March / April 2013.
3. Dad regained his health circa March / April, despite still having to rely on medications till now. Mom went back to work after 3 months of unpaid leave. Alhamdulillah
4. 2013 travels: Semarang, Jakarta, Umrah, Turkey (Istanbul & Cappadocia), Penang, Bali ... not much as I used to though
5. Busy at work....the year just went passed me
6. I lost 8kg in 2012, only to regain at least half of it back in 2013....no idea how much, I haven't been on the scales since March.
7. Bought a trombone. The community band that I'm part of just performed at Sungei Wang Plaza as part of their Christmas entertainment program.
8. Got my heart broken. Twice.
9. Got to know Mr C. Despite all odds, we fell in love.
10. Didn't make any major purchases this year. Not even a single designer handbag. (sigh....how did I miss out on this KPI.. ;P )
11. I learned to let go of all my emotional attachments. Much calmer now, but I'm still on my learning process.
12. Finally found skin care and cosmetics that work for my skin. **macam cantik je**
13. A year of seeking knowledge, insha Allah will be consistent on this.

Here you go. 13 points to summarize my 2013. Hoping for a wonderful, colourful and blessed 2014. Amin ya rabbal 'alamiin
