Couldn't believe just another 2 more days to go and it's 2015!
Last year, I wrote about how I expected on my Journey of "2014". My goals & achievement from my career wise, my life & leisure, and a year that will be full of "LIFE"- Love, Inspiration, Freedom and Eternity.
Throughout the year, I've been through some twist and turn, ups and downs, in happiness and in sorrow. And because of all this experience and life lessons that I've been through, I understand that life teaches us how to live, to survive and move forward with hopes and dreams. Recently.. something special had happened and it has turned into the best highlights of the year and that has made me think a bit more about what my moments of 2014 has been and the supports I got.
January : It is the start of the year and it is also the time for me to have my goals set for the year on my career. As usual as the previous year I'm always have the same goals and achievement that I wanted to achieved. My goals set will be included My Personal Goals, My Academic Goals, and My Career Goals. There is so much for my self aiming this year and I know that there will be loads of hard work for me to put into it and the challenged that I will be accepting. I'm totally ready and it is time for me to fill up my 365 blank pages this year with full of flows and colours.
March : The first trip of the year.. a short run-away to London with my "Brother-Joshua". It is the first time he visited Ireland and I've decided to just to bring him around some of the neighbour country to visit before he started his journey that he had planned for himself. I still remember back to our old days.. as we always say it was our childhood time.. Flashing back some of the old memories and I notice there is so much changes between us now. Life really do move and things changed all the time while we were growing up. In this short break, I'm really happy and the time we spent together is just so priceless. it just seems like we are back to our old childhood days.
April : Throughout these months of hard work in office without any break .. I'm totally exhausted from all the stressed and work from the office as well as my personal issues. I knew I need a break for myself and surprisingly at this time, someone that have not been in touch for ages and get in touch with me and I was informed by her that she will be moving soon from Australia to Florence. So I've decided to have a trip to Italy-Florence to meet up with her. I've planned for my journey to Florence and by the mean time when I'm there I've also explored to some other parts in Italy : Sienna, Venice & Pisa. During this trip I've really enjoyed and pampered my self with the amazing food & wine's. " Io amo l'Italia così tanto ❤ ". I'm totally refreshed and ready to be back to work.
May : Another short-escaped around the mid year has arrived. Me and my colleague has recently discussed to take a long week-end break to one of the Europe's most romantic country which is : France - "Paris". I knew that it was not my first time travelling to Paris.. but I'm asking myself would it be a bit weird for 2 girls heading to Paris .. Hmm.. but my colleague said it will be her first time in Paris so.. I've decided to go ahead with this trip with her. Even though it was a short weekend break but it is worth it after all.
November '14 : This is the month of the most down and sorrow part of my life throughout the year. The incident happened back in the early stage of the month where my mom accidentally fell from the stairs while she is doing something by her own. She never inform us anything about the fall and we all thought that there is nothing major. But things started to change from that night. She started to felt sick but she manage to sleep through the night. She then turned very ill for the next couple of days and we still haven't manage to notice that it was actually the internal bleeding cause from the fall that made her sick. Thing's started to changed and getting nervous. I almost had a breakdown when I received a long distance call form my sister informing me that my mom is committed to the ICU and went for an immediate brain surgery due to the internal bleeding "Blood Clot" in her brain. My heart totally sank and I had no time to digest the news but just had to agreed for the operation. I have no idea what I'm doing at that moment but I know I have to be tough and stay strong. I couldn't managed my work on that day and I left work immediately. I was searching for the priority flights to head home while waiting and hopefully there will be news & updates from mom's opt. Hours later while waiting for the news after operation, the news then arrived.. "Thank God" that mom's opt went successful and mom woke up consciously. I couldn't be anyway more relieved when I heard the news. My instinct is telling me that mom will be well soon. I know it's not gonna be easy, but we will go through this together no matter what. I know that we will overcome the obstacles together and I believed that dad will protect us and brings mom through whatever mom is facing.
Highlights of the Year '14 : Throughout the whole year of 2014, my life seems like just after riding a huge and rough endless roller coaster with all the ups and downs. The journey that I've been through this year is not a smooth journey but I never give up. But when I'm on my most down time, I met a very special friend. In all these time that I've been through, I found it really hard for me to be able to met someone that is so understanding and able to share on my feelings and thoughts. I knew that many people had walk in and out from my life but for the one that able to left the footprint in my heart n life is rare. I knew that this will be one of my very true friend. I really wanted to say a huge thanks to this special friend that understand my tears, keeps inspiring me, non stop bringing me a smile everyday and had thought me some precious life lessons. I really appreciate it & Thank you so much.

You know that you can change any relationship right now by looking for things you love, you appreciate and you are grateful for in that person. When you make a deliberate effort to look for the things you love more than you notice the negativity on things, then a miracle will take place. It will just appear to you as through something incredible has happened to the other person. But if it's the force of love that is incredible and because of that, it does dissolves the temporary negativity including the negativity in the relationships, all you have to do is just to harness the force of love by looking for the things you actually do love in the person, I believe that everything will change in the relationship.
