2011 came and is about to end. It was an exciting year as before as I went through lots of changes in life. Let's have a basic summary of my year so far.
For the start of the year, I welcomed it by celebrating it with colleagues from Toll Logistics (Asia) Limited which was my company for my internship placement. It was in January that I started planning for my epic Great Asia Trip like buying air tickets and booking of accommodation. In February, I ended my internship and my 6 months of holiday started. I also managed to celebrate my first ever Valentine's Day with my valentine. :)
Here comes March and I set off for an epic Great Asia Trip with friends from far away countries, United Kingdom and Australia. That also marked my first time in First Class, on Emirates Airline, Firefly, Boeing 777-200, ATR 72-500, Airbus A380-800 and in the United Arab Emirates. It was one of the most epic trips I have ever gone to and definitely one of the most enjoyable trips in my lifetime.
It was a pretty quiet month in April and it involves me staying home on Flight Simulator or just picking her up from work. However, it was near the end of the month that I decided to pay a visit back to my hometown in Shantou and hence I managed to fly in May. It was also an exciting trip whereby I flew the world's only direct flight between Singapore and Shantou, my first flight on the Boeing 737-300 and my first time on Singapore Airlines Business Class. That trip also marked my last time flying out of Shantou Waisha Airport as it has since been replaced with Jieyang Chaoshan Airport.
Fast forward to August when I was enlisted into National Service, a rite of passage for every Singaporean son. It was through NS that I saw people from all walks of life and how they behave. Some of them can be very selfish while some insensitive. However, some of them can be very nice to whoever they are dealing with. Also, I managed to lose 27kg in my Basic Military Training which is a great achievement for me.
Although 2011 was not perfect, it was a great year too. Wish 2012 to be a better one!
