Time flies.

It is only this time that I blog. And it is only this time when I take time to reflect.

2012 has been very enriching. Taking daring steps out from comfort zone, and into a total brand new experience. Never have I thought that I would pursue my passion. I gave up a lot to be where I am right now. I lament that I didn't cherish what I have. When I look back, the work is not tough at all. The colleagues (some) and bosses are nice. The salary is decent enough for frequent overseas holidays. So what was it that makes me want to jump out so much?

Satisfaction. Passion. Motivation.

These are the things I find myself losing as the days get longer in my previous employment. I was once a young engineer filled with passion and excitement. But somehow, it is depleting at an accelerated rate. I became constantly looking out for new pockets of challenges, learning experiences and motivation. I think I found it, and I am doing it. 2013 shall be a year of realisation. Balancing between passion and finances, the  opportunity cost and the experience gained.

2013 shall also be a year of wedding preparations. It marks the start on another chapter of life. There are many things in which I am grateful for, especially my family and my love for supporting me during this period of time. It is tough!!!
