2009 In Review

It's that time of the year again where it calls for reflections on the past year. Why is that time seems to pass at an exponential rate the older one becomes? Time is slipping by way too fast - there doesn't seem to be enough of it for me to chase the dreams I have in my head, to pursue those desires, to reach out to the stars that lie so far beyond.

I would say 2009 has been a memorable year marked by a big milestone - the relocation to Hong Kong. While it has had its ups and downs, it has been a good change nonetheless and something I need at this point in my life.

Other than that, the only other memorable thing for me this year was my trip to South Korea in May. Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to the country. Great food, lovely scenery, clean, safe and interesting culture.

Next April I have Fukuoka to look forward to. Can't wait to visit Japan again! Other than that, maybe I should resolve to date more, or rather just to find people to date. Right now I can't even say I've gone on a bad date! Ha!

Tonight I fly home to Singapore for a few days. When I wrote that on my Facebook status, that I was heading home, one of my friends commented, asking where exactly is home for me??? I guess Singapore will always be home home, know what I mean? But I'm a bit of a restless soul, so who knows where I'll find myself in time to come?

Anyhow, here's to more adventures in 2010!

we perceive time to pass by at a faster rate as we get older because the same portion of time forms smaller fraction of the duration we've lived as we get older. e.g., when you were 15, 5 years are a whopping 33% of your lifetime so far. When we are 40, 5 years are only 12.5% of our lifetime by the time we are 40. Posted by: mauvecloud at December 30, 2009 10:22 AM
