Year 2011 in Review – Myself

Had many first attempts this year~

1. First time to curl my hair, but later found it too troublesome and so cut it short and dyed it brown
2. First time experience to learn to be an MC
3. First time to try acting in a drama
4. First time to try oil painting and water colour painting
5. First time on photo developing (and fainted on my first time entry to a darkroom!)
6. First time to participate in a photo exhibition
7. First time experience to work as a polling officer in the district council election
8. First time to act as landlord (for mom and dad) and let out our old home
9. First attempt on interpretation exam

Gosh! Looks like that I have had a very colourful life last year!!!

One of the reasons why I tried so many new activities this year was that my best friend’s husband got involved in some extra-marital affairs, ending up in separation.  The only help that I could offer was to accompany my friend to explore new activities, to help her to adapt to her new life.  Witnessing how trust, which was built up over ten years, could be destroyed in just a second, this incident had a great impact on me (and my mom as well, who had stopped nagging me to get married).  Human relationship, no matter in family or in office, is really the most difficult and challenging issue to deal with.  No matter what – still the same conclusion as last year’s - I do think we should really appreciate and treasure what we have already got and don’t use a magnifying glass to look at what we haven’t got.  May health and happiness be with all of the people in this world!
