Plus One

Here am i, sitting at Starbucks enjoying the serenity with a cup of venti frap. Celebrated my new year with someone who happened to stepped into the new year 1 hour ahead of me. Now we're not only distance apart, we're "timely" 1 year apart (well.. at least for the next half an hour)

2011 has been a really transforming year. Reviewing back my 4 major highlight of this year,

1. FYP: The once thought horrifying process during beta year have been completed. I still vividly remember the first day i stepped into MMU, looking at FYP as the final ultimate subject, i admit i felt somehow shivered. But guess what, i've pawn you! But well.. with a not so satisfied result. I take B+ not as my result, but as a sign to "Be Positive", worked fine so far. :)

2. Graduated: Jeez, I can't believe i already wore that robe and that square hat. It felt just like eye blink-seconds away before i saw those senior in those outfits when i'm just the new kid in town. I do miss the years being a university kid, with all the activities young adults do... (people, please think straight and healthy) Those friends that used to be the closest to me, are now far beyond physical reach. But we are still connected.  I hate the separation stage, but i guess life gets going.

3. Got a job: Well... this is kinda unplanned.. but then again, it was not an opportunity that everyone would have, and i accepted the offer, instead of continuing my studies, as planned since N years ago. It was a tough decision to make, but until today, i did not regret my decision. As an engineering graduate, i ended up in the consulting field. I can't proudly tell people: 'look, i have a degree in engineering' like doctors do, but i am proud to say: "I'm in Accenture". 

4. Separation: NOT LITERALLY, but physically. The genius her has always been working above my expectations, till the extent she got offered to study, all the way at JAPAN. Confession: I did not want her to go, . (duh)... But, what i want is not necessary what is right.... and in the end, she's there now, and we're getting used to this far-distance-relationship thingy. I thought being far from each other would literally dampen the feelings, but it turned out to be otherwise. I miss her more than ever. 

I'm more determined to make a better me in the upcoming year ahead.. Resolutions? will think about that later.. But i assume indulging work-life on New Year's Eve and New Year Day is a good start? :)

Good bye 2011, Hello 2012.

Happy New Year :)
