as im sailing toward 2011, i started to think back my 2010. another big year in my life, many incidents occurred. i started off 2010 in newcastle and going to end it in kuala lumpur. after finished my study, id think i will get a job in uk and be happy. somehow, it didnt turn out the way i want it to be.
the 1st 5 months of 2010 was the most depressing period in my life. i was jobless! during that period, i woke up every morning and hoped that i will get a phone call for interview. i have too many sleepless nights in that period. the job market in europe during that period was extremely bad. after 5 months of struggling, i finally decided to come back to malaysia for good. at such circumstance, i dont have a choice. with a distinction in my master degree, i really dont wanna wash dishes or cleaning tables at chinatown.
in the mid of april 2010, i finally took up the courage and told my parents that i wanna go back to malaysia. im blessed with a pair of very supportive and understanding parents. they encouraged me to come back for good. somehow, i still think i have disappointed them. i didnt really take up my duty as a responsible son. i failed to make their life easier and didnt give them enough love.
since i made up my decision to come back for good, i knew i have to get myself a job in kl. where else can be better than to be back at technip? since i left two years ago, i have been missing my colleagues dearly. hence, i rejoined technip on 7th of june 2010. im happy to be back and so is everyone in pipeline (i think). very déjà vu! after jobless for so long, im so happy doing pipeline analyses and designs with funny colleagues around me. i love them so much…
as i didnt have a proper job (no income) for the 1st 5 months of the year, i only managed to explore three european countries. i went to italy in february, czech in april and finland in may. all budget trips! eating self-made sandwiches everyday wasnt something easy! however, i was able to overcome it and explored many great places. gotta thank deric for being such a good and tolerate travel partner. there are still many places in europe that are waiting for me to explore. hope i will be able to make it back to europe in 2012. I wanna have my footprints on the soil of poland, croatia, portugal, hungary and greece.
since i moved back to malaysia, i have now shifted my travel focus to asia. there are still so many places in asia for me to explore. in the last quarter of 2010, i explored myanmar and india. both places gave me different inspirations and perceptions. personally, i prefer india more and would love to go back to the exotic land for more adventures.
in 2010, I only managed to explore 25 world heritage sites. a lot lesser than what i have done in 2009! in 2010, i have the times but i didnt have the budget. probably if i didnt buy so many paul smith or ralph lauren, i might have visited more sites. anyway, hope 2011, i can at least visit 30 sites.
there is another special thing took place in my 2010! for the past 4 years, i have stopped believing in love. previous relationships took everything out of me! my trust, my confidence, my happiness and my desire to be with someone. and in that 4 years, i focused everything on myself, family and friends. i forced myself to believe that oneself doesnt need to be in love in order to be happy and he or she can be happy because of himself or herself. but something happened recently changed my perception. i found someone! im not sure how long it gonna last but im so in love right now. all i can do is to make it works and hope for the best to come from both of us.
2010 is such an amazing year in my life. way too many great stories have taken place! from uk to malaysia, from europe to asia, from jobless to technip, from depress to happy and from avoiding love to loving somebody! im closing down the curtain for 2010 with a big smile! couldnt ask for more! a big thanks to 2010.
