2011 in a nutshell

2011 had been the most amazing year . I welcomed 2011 initially with nothing to look forward to and NO resolutions knowing that I'll never stick to them . 

The best thing that happened was to have Bryan in my life . He became very indispensable . He was basically everything more than a boyfriend . I am now very dependent on him and I've not felt so attached to someone for the longest time . He made sure my daily life was smooth sailing . Glad that our paths crossed after 7 years of friendship .

The greatest downfall in 2011 is having my Grandfather leave us for good within a short span of less than 24 hours . It is the most traumatizing period of time for my family . My grandparents brought me up and lived with me all my life . I grew up sub consciously thinking my grandparents will never leave me so soon . The truth is I always thought my grandfather would pass away at least after seeing me get married . & So this links to the biggest regret in 2011 . I really wanted my grandfather to watch me get married and carry his first great grandchild . Everytime I think of him and all the things I've not done for him , it brings me a heavy heart . 

2011 seems like a very short year to me because I got very motivated by Bryan to look forward to everyday .   & I was kept very busy the entire year . I tendered resignation to my previous company on January 3rd and my last day was February 1st . It was then , the best choice I made ever . I took a loooong break from work which was part of  my favourite 2011 memories . Waking up everyday at any desired timing & looking forward to hang out with the friends & boyfriend daily . I was crazily partying away every Wednesday without fail . Ladies night became my weekly affair . I landed myself with a new job only 2 months later . Initially , I had no clue about my job scope and just committed myself into something I'm unfamiliar with . BUT !! I am totally loving my current job !!!

Definitely not to miss out the dramatic snippets of 2011 is having to meet new people & making friends . I love making friends ! I met almost all of Bryan's BMT bunkmates & they are really nice people . & not to forget I met my Aussie girl , Laura . ( I hope you're reading this because your presence meant so much to me.  )  Apart from all the meeting new people , I spent loads of quality time with the old friends . In the previous 2010 , I hardly took time out to meet my friends . Thankfully , I got closer with my friends again . I lost friendships as well , in the most dramatic way . It was a long fight with one of the bestfriend & the entire friendship went down the drain . She & her then boyfriend used to bring joy in my life . They were the people that I see almost everyday when I was not working . But time passes & things change . Sounds so cliché but its true . Things do not always turn out the way you want it to be . Her then boyfriend stirred up the entire drama having to link their relationship & everyone else's friendship with them causing everything to fail . Heart wrenching enough to lose people you love , not necessary a boyfriend to feel this way .

  All in all , 2011 was a good year ( the best year in my teenage life ) except for August . 
Pictorial post of 2011 soon , when I have the time !!!
