This is going to be a special year in my memory, because it is the year I am 100% better now (!!!) and I actually start to grow dreams and hopes for the future again.
It's really one of the happiest years to date despite the extreme downs. I'm so glad the positives outweighed the bad by a bit!

As I read everyone's reflections about their 2017, I don't know if it's just me, but in general, I felt that 2017 was a positive year for many! Many good things happened for people (friends getting engaged, many more people tying the knot especially in the second half of the year, graduation, people being able to find closures, strength and positivity from tough times). While some have also experienced losses and heartbreaks, somehow people are able to stand strong and find contentment still with their 2K17. That adds to my happiness for 2017 too!

My 2K17 in a nutshell:
- More than expected travelling opportunities- Bangkok - post-peak trip with my parents to in March. I was lucky to be able to get my leave approved in 2016 even though typically we are not allowed to take leaves from Jan - Mar. It was a first trip to treat my parents ever since I became a working adult.
- UK & Scotland - family holiday to visit my England relatives. One of my highlights in 2017 and longest holiday I've gotten for the year.
- TASSIE - aussietors trip! The nature and adventures just blew me away, not forgetting the peaceful moments of quiet reflection and learning to live in the moment
- Phuket x2 - This one's for my work buddies who really made work a hella lot more bearable - Settling better into work life
- Learnt to laugh a lot more. Getting better at letting go in general.
- Made conscious effort to care and be with my family more.
- Lucky enough to experience moments that can made my heart skip a beat again
- Had a lot of honest, good and mind blowing conversations with people who matter
- Met a special human being whom i know changed my life in one way or another
- Laughed a lot more and felt happiness on a level never before because of this special human being
- Felt sadness in the gut and accepted that good things may not always be here to stay for long too because of the same special human being
- Learnt to be strong nonetheless through a different person this time
- Noticed people getting more real with themselves, more real with life, being more authentic and that's beautiful
- Learnt to be courageous to pursue what I want. I had a case of 20 seconds of insane embarrassing courage - one of the proudest moments of myself this year
- Began my spiritual journey to wellness and fitness (from yoga with beryl to gym trials to eventually signing up for my first ever gym membership!!!) - one of the best decisions I've made this year
