Not blogging often has made it difficult to recap the year, but for memory's sake here are some highlights and lowlights of 2011 in no particular order:

1. Submitted my last ever uni project in January, confirmed that I was good to graduate in June, and finally a Graduate in September.
2. Struggled with working in the family business. After months of my browser having tabs open of jobs I should/wanna apply, I finally took the courage in August and applied for 2. Went for an assessment for one, and obviously didn't pass as expected. haha. Went for an interview, and up till this day, am still in shocked that I got hired because I brought absolutely nothing, no portfolio, no examples of my writing, nothing. Guess they were desperate and got lucky that I did not lie when I said I was proficient in writing and editing. haha
3. Got hired, took a while before I had the courage to tell the parents because I was afraid of disappointing them. Found my niche. Got really good results for my evaluation which blew my mind. Survived the early mornings. And my back is feeling so much better.
4. Spent the whole year being single but unavailable. Final heartbreak in September. The chapter well and truly over in December after being dragged on for far too long. Resolved anger, bitterness and disappointment just in time to start fresh in the new year.
5. Started the year with weddings to attend, and ended the year with even more. A year filled with engagements as well. As happy as I am for all the couples, can't help feeling a bit bitter and tired of being alone.
6. Had a family health scare in November. Can only look back and thank God at how He brought us through it. Opened my eyes to realize how important church is.
7. Found support in unlikely people. Started re-building friendships.
8. The sister came back for good! Which made it a whole lot easier for me to leave the family business. heh. I'm sorry sister if you feel you're stuck. But you've got more time than me to accomplish things ...
9. Visited Melbourne again :)

To sum up, 2011 has been pretty much a good year in all areas of my life 'cept for matters of the heart. I'm definitely happier than the past couple of years, and I don't wake up wondering what am I doing with my life anymore.

Here's hoping 2012 will finally resolve the matters of the heart! haha.
