the year that was…

2010 started with a wonderful promise:

“The Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest,” — Joshua 1:9

I went places… I did things… I lived life and He, true to His promise was with me every single moment!

 

2010’s life changing + utterly useless moments

Jumped into a new job | slept through numerous bus rides to get there everyday

Started blogging actively | became a social recluse and a virtual butterfly

Played tourist during the sister’s visit |went to much-hated Sentosa

Attempted weight loss | lost faith in diets + exercising

Learned how to swim | unable to float

Spent spooky nights without the boy | left the lights on

Missed the mother heaps | also desperately missed McDonald’s McVeggie burger

Missed friends’ weddings | forgot to send anniversary greetings

Learned to pick my battles | became stronger

Missed my friends from home | made new ones in Singapore

Did not write any letters | typed in a few emo characters

Shopped alone for Christmas presents |confession: loved it

Bought a bag for the boy, who for a change didn’t ask if it could be exchanged

Found a note from the boy the day he went overseas for work | cried myself to sleep

Developed a dangerously sweet tooth | lost one as well

Called home like crazy | bought myself a fancy phone

Performed on a stage | learned through melodrama at work

Followed FIFA World Cup 2010 | Attended the Youth Olympic Games 2010

Attempted to learn a new language | was lost in translation

Fretted | laughed | cried | hugged | sang | danced |screamed | shouted | cursed |panicked |dreamed | loved | hated

The year 2010 was a football game in action – every emotion and more! Here’s to an even more amazing 2011…
