2018 was definitely a year of creativity. I explored a lot of new things not only on my creative side but also on my personal development; lots practice, patience and self care. So what were my highlights of 2018?

1. Moved in with the love of my life on 1 March 2018 and hosted our first housewarming.
2. Became vegan but I'm more vegetarian (there is that gray area and I'm working on becoming fully vegan 2019)
3. Completed 100 miles challenge by Tone It Up.
4. Went to Singapore Zoo for the first time.
5. Tried colouring, knitting, learning mandarin and tarot cards, yoga teacher training, boxing and barre.
6. I can finally do a headstand (with a wall) and a split.
7. Did my first 24 hour fast.
8. Did 5K Hello Kitty Run with my boyfriend.
9. Travelled to Bangkok 2x, Ho Chi Min, Danang, St Petersburg, Moscow and Seoul.
10. Patch up with my parents
11. My sister gave birth to handsome baby Seby. I have a nephew!

Past year post are here: 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2013.

I don't usually stay late in the office, in fact I rarely do. But last week I had the chance to stay longer than I normally do and have a moment to see the sky change its colour, twilight if you will, right up high on the 22nd floor of my building.

I remember thinking how beautiful this city is, how my life could change, how I will not forget I started right here almost a decade ago.

I don't know what happened yesterday. Suddenly I just felt this guilt from eating dairy. It's like finally it hit me that an animal has suffered and died from what I ate. I don't want this thought and feeling every time I take a bite off of food. It's killing me. I don't want it. I don't want it anymore.

When I was 24 I wrote a post about being the person you want to meet.  Reading back on it now, I realise how I was into the idea of lavish and luxury and in truth, I kind of live that life. But as I've gotten older my perspective changes and I learned to value what matters most. Though reading that post makes me realise that there are things that haven't change such as:

1. Eats healthy food and limits her sugar intake
2. Workout to keep her body in tip top shape
3. Values quality over quantity
4. Reads novels to broaden her imagination and widen her perspective

So who is this person that I want to meet?
1. A vegan
2. Workout to keep her body healthy
3. Has as creative side project 
4. Calm and collected

Every year since 2017 I have been coming up with a theme that I will focus on for the year. 2017 was the year of fun, 2018 is the year of creativity and well 2019? It's the year of change.
