2022 – A Year in Review
It’s been another year. A special year. A brilliant, sparkling, and heart-breaking year! I’ve reread all my past yearly reviews and each and every year seemed to be such a winding road. Thinking back, I might have never had a totally smooth-sailing year where there is only sunshine, except maybe before college? I feel a…

2021 – A Year in Review
2021 was a remarkable year. Although it seems that this statement has been repeated so many times, it was indeed a turning point in my life where I quitted my full-time job and finally followed my dream of doing art professionally. In May, I came across Sylvia Path’s quote, I finally realised that I was…

2020 – A Year in Review
2020 has been a strange year. A year where the world has lost its track and I (somewhat) found mine. It started badly, where all sorts of things went wrong, and in the middle of the rumbles I finally realised that I had noone to blame but myself. My mind cleared up and for the…

2019 – A Year in Review
It was a year when my hair went white. My eyes drooped and lines around the mouth became permanent. It was there, on my face, the tiredness, the stress, the anxiety. In June, I stopped breathing. My body forgot how to breathe. Sometimes when I meditated, I had to bend down to the pillow and…

2018 – A Year in Review
Like every year, I wanted to summarise everything that happened in 2018, but well 2 months into 2019 I couldn’t finish my review. Maybe it’s too boring a year to tell, or too complicated, the more I go into details, the more layers there are to reveal, which is probably worse. But one thing for…

2017 – A Year in Review
How to be an adult When visiting my place for the first time, my dear little friend blurted out: “When I grow up, I want to be like you.” This has since become an inside joke between us. But at some point, it made me think more seriously if I’ve ever grown up, or if…

2016 – A Year in Review
Somewhere in mid-June 2016, I had insomnia due to stress, and for the first time in my life, there were nights when I had to punch myself in the chest for tears to flow out so that my preoccupied mind can rest. Anxiety had befriended me for more than half a year. The stressful conversion…

2014 – A Year in Review
So the first month of the new year has passed and finally I have gathered enough guilt from procrastination to really sit down and take a look back on the last year. 2014 was a year of trials and experiments, a pilot year to test myself and play with different strategies and see if I…

2013 – A Year in Review
What can happen in a year? Each and every year has never been a string of boring beads for me, especially after high school. Each one struck me with its own marvelous wonders and heart-breaking griefs. Always a lot of ups and downs and small cute surprises in between. My life flourishes in a way an…
