This was the first year that I felt as though nothing happened. Like for real. But I'm going to force myself to write down as much as I can remember.

• I got my first job in London
• Got into cross stitch
• I have better relationship with food. ie. I'm no longer afraid to eat pasta, sauces and oils.
• Focused on strength training
• Learned the importance of being a christian wife
• Went to Bristol, Bath, Cambridge, Birmingham, Edinburgh
• Met up with my lovely friend from Singapore and her family

This year was not a good reading year. I hit a slump and I just didn't feel like reading much at all. I've read 21 books and here are my top 3.

1. Conversations With Friends by Sally Rooney. (This was my book of the summer. I just love the writing and I can't put it down)

2. I Hope You Stay by Courtney Peppernell (The best poetry book I've read so far)

3. Skinny Bitch by Rory Freedman (An oldie but a goodie)

2020 has been a lot and I mean a lot. It brought so much change that I wonder how things will ever go back to normal or when it will be. But this year made me realise things that matters most and I learned a thing or two along the way. So here it goes the highlights and the learnings.

Highlights

1. Went to Sweden and Denmark for the first time last Feb.

2. Caught up with my high school friend over dinner at Canary Warf. 

3. UK went to lockdown last 23 March. 

4. Moved to a new apartment at East London.

5. Started making polymer clay pins

6. Launch The Paper Hands, a small stationery business over at Etsy and Depop

7. Went to Brighton for the first time. 

8. Went Cornwall and had my first english summer BBQ. 

9. Started reading the bible, specifically Life Application Study Bible.

10. Decided to go vegan. 

11. Officially a year in London and unemployed LOL. 

12. Pandemic has really took over.

13. First time experiencing Spring and Summer in London.

Learnings:

1. Eternal life matters most.

2. Always save money.

3. Know you have more than most.

4. Nurturing relationships are so important.

5. Always take the time to talk to your parents. 

6. I understood what it truly means to Live A Simple Life and Be Happy

Don't lose hope. Don't be disheartened. Be thankful each day that you are alive. Do your best one day at a time and don't plan too far ahead. Don't be too happy too else you'll weep. Take care of your health. If you're unhealthy, money means nothing. 

I've always wanted to run my own art studio and this is the year to do it. In the coming weeks or days I'll be launching my Etsy shop where I'll be selling all my handmade goods. It's a labor of love and hard work and I hope you guys will enjoy it as much as I do.
