*SN: I realise i've not published drafts of my last three ponderings - I guess unfortunately, self-censorship is something ingrained in me.
Time to ask that quintessential question - have you spent the year the way you wanted? Looking back at the past three hundred days... I'd give myself a pat on the back. B+.
For starters, I got my license in January. I graduated out of one job and found myself another, one that comes with its challenges, but is not without its unique perks. I'm earning and steadily providing for my parents in more and more ways. I've been able to take up responsibilities at work, get stuck in sticky situations and figure out how to unstick myself, and learn from colleagues from various walks of lives and experiences. I've been able to find time to volunteer. I didn't take the accountancy accreditation, but I started learning Malay, which would be my fourth language. I climbed my first two mountains: Mt Ophir in Malaysia, and the Yellow Mountains in China (recreating a trek I did with my parents when I was still a babe and dad had to carry me on his back). I went for a solo adventure trip to pelepah falls and met lots of adventurous people with awesome stories of trekking and diving
**Update on 14 Dec 2019 - found this half written post still sitting in draft, and am posting it anyway.
