2011 has been a roller coaster year for me. So many happenings – highs and lows
For me, 2011 was filled with many ups and downs.
FAMILY :
For the past one year, the most trying period was the first 3 months when my sister was first diagnosed with liver cancer. It was an emotional roller coaster ride. Me, being there for everyone to lean and count one. I was emotionally drained. It’s been 9 months and I am still coming to terms with her passing. I miss her terribly 
My sister in law was diagnosed with cancer too and is presently receiving treatment.
My uncle was recently diagnosed with colon cancer too. Sigh.
A very trying and emotional year for us all. Let’s pray real hard and pray for good health and speedy recovery. I WANT TO KILL ALL CANCER CELLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ME :
I shaved my head for Hair for Hope 2011 to raise funds for cancer patients and also in honour of my only sister. I raised $15,641. Thank you my dearest friends for your support. I am blessed to have known all of you. What will I do without friends?? You are so so so so important to me!!!
I renewed my interest in piano. Bet my mum is pleased with this. I gave up cos’ I was totally put off by the piano exams. I knew she was disappointed when I gave it all up at Grade 7. I have not been playing the piano for more than 20 years now. Maybe I’m having midlife crisis now!!! lol!!! But I’ve decided to pick it up again and to show my children that when you put your mind to something – you can do it. I think I did it 
WORK :
2011 also saw me having a mentor. I still can’t believe I have a mentor – someone who is willing to guide me in my career. I am indeed blessed (Tho’ I do wish we could communicate more)
I’ve been working alot in 2011. Way too much but it’s good for me cos’ it keeps my mind off sad thoughts. It helps that I love my work also way too much!!!
Had really AWESOME students this year too (but all my students are always the BEST). Makes teaching all so worth while. I love my vocation.
FRIENDS :
Old and New friends I have maintained and gained. Never felt so blessed in my life before with the wonderful and generous support of all my friends, old and new.
I LOVE my friends and wished I could tell them more often how important they are to me and how I really do appreciate to have them in my life.
VERDICT :
Many highs and lows. I became a stronger and bigger person with the experiences experienced in the past 12 months.
Most importantly, I felt truly blessed and loved.
