2011 at a glance...

2011 was a year full of weddings, stressors and firsts...

Work:

Had the first Ergonomics Public Forum - Office Worker's Guide to Healthy Living on 4th June..



Quite nerve wrecking talking in front of more than a hundred people!! But am glad of the experience.

Became Deputy Team Leader in April, and then to Team Leader in October. Lotsa frustration, stress and learning to be done. Doesn't help the people are falling sick more at the end of the year and coverage has been really difficult! Lessons learnt: always ask for help, drive the team, anticipate problems before they become real problems, and that I'm always being appraised. Need to be the coffee instead of carrot or egg!

Genting : 7-9 July

3 days of enjoying the cool weather, eating at all hours of the day, screaming our lungs out at less than exciting rides, taking the easy way out by taking most of the family rides...

Hong Kong: Sep 17-23

Being typical tourist and 买东西, 吃东西...

Lotsa sightseeing...


Macau for one day...

This trip made me miss the days of the Aussie road trip of the 5 of us driving around rather aimlessly with minimal planning. Looking forward to more trips like this!

Other miscellaneous stuffs:

Celebrated Shaun's Birthday with Cat Physics Cupcakes!

Found Gerri, Lenny, Tattoo, Kerri someday in November and spent 2 days with them. Feeding them through bottles, making sure that they are warm and nicely tucked in. But sadly, Tattoo, Kerri and then Gerri slowly faded away one after another and is now in kitty heaven...

Picked up Pole in April (stopped for 2 months in between) and is now addicted to being upside down despite the bruises, aches and abrasions!

And lastly, made the biggest purchase of our life. We are so lucky to get a good queue number of 86. Although we did not get our first choice unit, we managed to get one of our top few choices.

So there you go. 2011 has been an eventful year. What will 2012 brings? I forsee more challenges in my work as more responsibilities are being given to me. I look forward to more travels, getting stronger physically (through pole and less MCs) and psychologically, being more confident in myself and what I do!

Have a great year ahead everyone!
