Bolting through 2011


I personally felt that 2011 just bolted right pass me, as if it can’t wait to get to 31 December! I was filling in my agenda for work, social activities, holidays and realize, I am running out of pages then it hit me, 2011 will be over soon. I’m not one to make resolutions nor keep them – so I do not know why sometimes I feel anxious that time is passing by so quickly.  As I get older, I get more forgetful – I suspect I might eventually kick the bucket with having Alzheimer’s disease!

Anyways, did you all remember what you achieved this year? What great significance changes you have made? Or travelled? The following are all that has left an imprint in our hearts and mind.

01 -  My significant other – B – has worked for 20 years for the same company this year.
02 – After driving around in a Peugeot for 4 years, in November, we exchange it for an Audi.
03 -  The Kid – N -  turns 6!
04 – We explored Prague, Singapore, Kuching, (province of) Tuscany and Lugano.
05 – My brother left his placed of work where he has served for 20 years! I am proud to say that he now works as Chief Maritime Marshall, seeing the world from the high seas.
06 – After 2 years of job search, I found myself another job!
07 -  I am made to wear special shoe soles – permanently!
08 – Got stung by a bee for the first time in my life!
09 – Starbucks finally comes to Belgium shores.
10 – First time ever this year that some kids knock on our door for Halloween.

There’s yet about a month and abit left before the year ends. It is not a good time of the year for us either as B has to work on most days and I am left to my own devices to get the Christmas shopping done. Can’t wait for January to come really, then we can look forward to planning & booking our travels or even receive family visits from the far east!
