2006
okie.. time to review the year that has passed as always..
2006.. 2006.. well, i guess it hasn't been a bad year..
work-wise, i think i've more or less settled into a comfortable place in the project. i think slowly with experience, i've grown to be more confident in my abilities to do the tasks assigned to me. i've also grown closer to the people i work with. shifting office from the 22nd floor to the 8th floor meant a big change in working environment - still trying to adjust to it, i think. end of the development phase of the project means we're currently in the operations phase. that will bring it another set of challenges - a new boss and many new processes.. but who knows? it could turn out for the better.
i think as a person, i've grown too. maybe it's the spillover effect from getting confident at my job, but i think i've become more self-confident. i've also developed a stronger sense of self - in the sense that i've become more self aware now. i know what i stand and don't stand for. i understand why i behave in certain ways. i learnt to stand up against things more when last time i would just accept wat the situation hands me.
i've also learnt to let certain things go. certain stuff and issues that i've been hanging on to for a while now that i've decided to let go and move on. painful at first because i think somehow having these things around breeds a certain sense of familiarity and safety? and that's why ppl find it hard to let go sometimes. they become addicted to the emotions that these things trigger. watever the case is, it always feels good to let go of these excess baggage and move on.
and i rediscovered my passion! my passion for badminton, that is.. hehe. forgotten just how much i miss playing badminton.. really glad that i found a like-minded group of people who plays badminton every week. altho i do rue the fact that people more than 20 years older than me can still kick my ass at the game.. haha. goes to show i still have a long way to go..
faith-wise.. well, i still go to church on sundays! most of the time.. haha.. have to confess there was a while there when i found excuses not to go - not sure why too, but i'm more or less over that. still no intentions of being involved in a church group - still no interest watsoever.
had a few chances to travel a few times this past year.. got to see wat a real beach with clear waters looks like in Bintan. got lost on the way to K, lol.. and got to experience the crazy traffic of Manila. hoping to see the amazing scenery of NZ in 2007.. hope it can happen.
hm.. speaking of 2007.. wat to expect from it..
1. hope to be able to go to NZ : sky diving and bungee! yea!
2. dsta inter-division badminton tournament : hope can win something.. that would bring up the number of sporting awards i have up to a grand total of 2! haha..
3. microsoft certified system admin : man, this certification course will take up mondays, wednesdays and fridays of my time for 6 months! not to mention the hours i need to study for the tests... sigh.. super a lot of effort needed. i know i need to do it, but it doesn't make it any easier to do.. haha.. still have to get my boss's approval to go ahead tho..
okie.. for that's it for my review of 2006. here's hoping 2007 will be an even better year!
