Happy New Year 2013!

Pinky officially moved in with us today, we had to build a fence around the house before we could bring her home, what other great day to do that than the first day of 2013!

We went for a walk today and there are many amazing reserves around this area, there's even an off leash dog exercising area, she'll love her daily walks around here!

So, time flew by 2012 especially in the last 2 months, in a glimpse, it's 2013 already!

2012 was definitely an amazing year, so many life changing events have happened, it definitely took both Frank and I to the next level, a brand new phase of our lives.

Let's reminisce what have been achieved in 2012.

I have officially completed my Bachelor of Pharmacy. Official graduation to follow coming May!
I am now a registered intern pharmacist with the Pharmacy Council in New Zealand, have got my annual practising certificate!
Throughout this year, I worked hard and also played hard. This is definitely my most enjoyable year at University, looking back at all those pictures with friends at uni, I know I will miss this.
This year, I did my placements in another town, experiencing pharmacy out of Auckland.
I also went through dissertation, the big final year project that everybody complains about.
Despite my busy academic year, I also managed to slot in wedding planning at the same time, still amazed how things got done all at the same time.
I started and ended my final part time job as a pharmacy assistant, and that being said, I started my first full time job in the same pharmacy!
Frank and I ended our long distance relationship and progressed into living together.
I officially moved out of house.
Bought a house! Our first home!

I am still amazed at how lucky I am that all these good things happened to me, this is by far the best year I've had! Compared to 6 years ago, when I just came to Nz with nothing, being depressed everyday, went through the toughest time of my life with family and academic problems to what I have achieved today.

I'm not trying to boast but I am happy and proud of myself, and extremely grateful to have these good fortune happening to me, I hope this last and good things will keep coming.

When I face down time again in the future, I shall always come back to this post and read through the happy things that I have experienced, to know that as long as I do not give up and keep working hard, good things will eventually come to those who wait, and when they do come, always be grateful.

Thank you amazing 2012, let's make 2013 even better!

New year resolution: Be happy and grateful! Cherish all the good things around me especially the little things that makes my everyday :)
