2005 - Oh What A Year!

Song of the moment: INXS - Pretty Vegas

Wow time for my yearly end review already? I can't believe it's already been a year since I started this blog on Blogger.com. Time has definitely flown by. I feel like I'm sitting in a convertable :S haha!

This year was the year of extremes. I think I've felt every extreme emotion life has to offer. I experienced great happiness and entered a new phase in my life when Jimmy proposed to me. I knew he was the one for me, but this got the ball rolling (if you know what I mean! hehe). I also FINALLY finished school, got that Masters degree I've worked for for 2 years. Definitely a great accomplishment! And I entered the working world, which I'm still debating whether it should be on the good or bad list of 2005. I got to travel to new places this year and explore my roots in China with the person I love most. That takes me one step closer to my goal in showing Jimmy the world :D On the flip side, I experience the most heartwrenching of all emotions: watching my grandmother go through a gazillion tests and numerous days in the hospital to find out she had cancer, then for her to pass away 3 weeks after finding out. I am so lucky to have had the chance to spend quality time with her, and to say good-bye to her. Although she has gone, she still lives in my heart. I miss her so much.

So what has this year taught me? God works in mysterious ways, everything does indeed work out in the end and love prevails over death. I've also learned that friends are always there when you need them the most. Life is definitely a tension of opposites, but it's your prospective on life that determines how much stress and strain you experience.

To all my friends, both here and out in the blogger world, I wish you a very happy and wonderful new year. May 2006 be spectacular for everyone :)
