2014 was overall...normal? Nothing exceptional happened I guess.
I did a bit of travelling to a lot of places I've been to before but with new people so that was fun!
- (April) Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto - Went with colleague mainly for sakura in April
- (August) Bangkok, Kanchanaburi - This was a really random trip but I was so glad I went.
- (October) Dubai - First ever duty travel! I was there for a grand total of 24 hours but the experience on first class made it all worth it ^^
- (November - December) Seoul - Seoul in winter was nice, and we even managed to catch the first snow! Experienced a lot of random things there, and also suffered from a really bad case of food poisoning for the first time. Haha it took me a whole week to recover, and thinking back it was the most unglam moment of 2014.
Work-wise, work is fun and my colleagues are still around so that is great. There are recent changes to my portfolio but I'm doing okay I think. There's also office drama which makes work interesting but sometimes I really wish for people to just love each other and do their own work? Oh there was also a festive season decoration competition which we won =D I'm more apprehensive about the next two weeks coz there's a paper I wrote (which hasn't been approved, and doesn't even look like it'll be approved unless I make drastic changes) and will be presenting to half of management and I am SCARED. It's just a presentation but I think I need to do a lot more preparation for it in the upcoming days.
I'm still watching dramas/variety shows but somehow I've been more into Korean than Japanese, but that would change soon since I'm going to take the N2 JLPT at the end of next year =) I decided to revise and go for N3 classes before the N2 classes start in the 2nd half of the year so it'll be a year long preparation.
Thinking back, 2014 was really a mediocre year so here's to a more exciting 2015!
