2016| What a Year!


"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not in fighting the old, but in building the new" - Socrates


when everything else fails, faith and hope remain

I'm really so grateful that 2016 is finally over.  It had been a roller coaster ride for me.  There are lots of changes, goodbyes and new beginnings.  Still, I'm very grateful for what is has brought and taught me.  It made me realized how strong and adaptable a person could be amidst the constant change.  

Finally, the long anticipation has finally happened.  After 21 wonderful years, I bid goodbye to my second home and family - Bayan.  We knew for many years that it will happen but when it's really happening, we were all in disbelief.  It seems everything happens so fast and beyond our control.  We can only look back at the fun memories and hope for a better future in a new environment.  Though I'm beginning to rebuild a new career and friendships, I will always look back with a smile and gratefulness of the wonderful 21 years of my life in Bayan.  

In the middle of the chaos and succession of redundancy in the office, my wandering feet were not moved (by this).  Instead, I chose to wander more. I took almost all of the opportunities to get away from it.  I have maxed all my leaves and spent more, just to escape from reality.  Good thing that hubby has been understanding and very supportive while I'm lost somewhere.
