Almost 1 year ago

Just booked my tickets to India. 3years after Sonal went back to India and I'm now going to see her get married :) Im actually excited if I think about it. :D
Its also almost 1 year after I came back from NIDA. Its quite surreal and as the months go by, my 3 years in NIDA seemed like a dream..
This year has been quite a trip. From graduating officially, to getting back on the bandwagon of working in a tertiary institute, to defining my own life whilst defining my work life.
Ive been blessed with friends who are my life support, and also my family.
Truly being away from family in the last 3 years has made me feel a stronger need to get my family life back on track.
Ive also officially learnt how to swim. And have been doing zumba and pilates.
Im looking forward to learning how to cycle and sing/sign.
As I said on Facebook, "Step up...Step out...Step In...whatever you do, just keep taking the next step"
Today I did that. 
I agreed to do something that Id never done before. Knowing that I might be able to handle it but not knowing how. With only 30mins to spare to find out how things are meant to be handled, I took deep breathes and told myself that this is a "step out" or "step in" that I needed.
And thinking back, while I know that I could have handled things slightly differently, I know I did my best at that time. I did my best given the nerves and lack of experience.
So while I am still shaking and kicking myself for not being as good, Im still telling myself that I had to do it.
Im not stopping here. I want to keep doing new things this year. That is my aim!

God Bless
