Reflection on Goals of 2017
Its that time of the year where we all reflect on what we accomplished and whats coming up next. This year i did make some progress in what i had hoped to achieve, so overall a happy camper.
Run the Standard Chartered Marathon
Tick! I completed the standard chartered full marathon in December, but in 6 hours unfortunately. I had aimed for a 5 hour finish but the mental part of the race stopped me from running the last 15KM. Better luck next time!
Complete JLPTN5 Certification (Japanese Beginners)
This one was a miss. I only have myself to fault for why this did not get done. I will get this completed in 2018!
Travel around South East Asia
A big part of why I’m in Singapore is so that I can travel. In the 1st six months we really ramped up our travels, going somewhere once a month. Though by the 2nd half we started to slow down because it got way too tiring to organise, research, and cram into our weekends. This year i managed to visit the following cities (I’ve linked some of the earlier posts on what I did in each place)
Manila
Seoul
Singapore
Settle down overseas
I’ve worked for more than 12 months now in the same role and am settled in quite frankly. I’ve moved apartment once so I know how hard it is to move without having a car to drive (luckily we have Grab…), and I’ve met some really awesome people while abroad. So here’s to more fun and games in the new year!
What an amazing year you’ve had! I especially love your write-up of HCMC – one of my favourite SE Asian cities. Please keep up the blog – it’s a great read.
Happy New Year!
Thanks Polly! I appreciate the feedback about the writing, all the best and happy new year to you too!
Seems like a wonderful year seeing and experiencing a lot of new things. Happy New Year and I hope this continues for you in 2018:)
Thanks!! All the best to you to in the new year!
新年好呀,新年好呀,祝福博主新年好!
Happy New Year! Your goal to complete JLPT N5 certification inspires me. I want to go for N4 certification though.
Thanks. Ive heard alot of people say to go straight into N4, but im kind of slow so ill stick to the basics first 🙂
