Ending 2017 and welcoming 2018

2017 has been a roller coaster year.
Thought it all started well until the shocking news of my beloved grandma passed away, it shook me completely and I just want to escape the fact that she has left.

I see life differently.
Life is too fragile.
I just want to leave this country that everybody thought is a future for me, my career, better life, better pay. But honestly, I still struggle to see myself working back home. I don't know if I can do it.
I am in great dilemma.
Putting this thought aside until I finished my 2 years of remaining training years.

Highlights of the year?
Loads and loads of travelling. It is an experience of a lifetime, nobody will grab that experience away for you, it is priceless and I am thankful that I can afford to do this. Seeing world is my priority.

Went back Malaysia 3 times! Breaking record...
Went to Portugal with Ruth for my 30th birthday in March.
Went to Korea with Janice and Chia Wei during April.
Went to Belgium to catch up with Ivy in May, then Chester for Laura's wedding.
Went to Penang with my family in June
Went to Oxford to attend Hana's wedding in July
Went to Belfast in August with Lily for our 30th birthday escape
Moved from Lancaster to Preston in September
Flew back to Malaysia in November.
Went to Singapore and visited my sis, met Leonard, saw Ivy/Eric/Eeleen
Went to Cambodia in December for JQ and Steve's wedding.

Phew, long list, but thankful for trips like these. Catch up with close friends and I never know when I have the chance to see them again. The Lord might call me home anytime soon.

Time is precious, no more waiting because time wait for no man.
It is either do it now or don't!

Just hoping 2018, to be a better year.
Ending 2017 with a high note.
Yes, officially a home owner :)
I.e. owning my very own 1st property!
Bought a house with my own savings! Parents offered to help but I wanted to do this myself.
I am a grown up. So yes, I have a mortgage to pay!
Can't be quitting my job now, although current hospital, Blackpool Victoria is a serious nightmare.

Anyway, having my own place is still an achievement, I must say.

Turned 30th this year and dear God, please continue to watch over me.

Watssup Doc: Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. I am looking forward to the 365 chances to make my 2018 a good one.
