I started 2009 with a song tittled 'unwritten' by Natasha Bedingfield. That was a perfect song for 2009 as so many things happened in my life. So many rights, so many wrongs, so many regrets, and so many feel-good moments.
It’s been an eventful year. For the first three-four months I was practically at USM, cramming for my degree exam. I remember the late nights, which got longer with every passing day. How I worked very hard for my last semester and appreciate every moments while i'm still a student. I passed my exam and graduated in August this year. The process drained me emotionally and physically. The last time I was this vulnerable was a long time ago and hopefully the next time will be a longer time away. It was the last formal academic exam of my life and finally after 23 years, I was out looking for a job. Well, at least that is what i thought at that moments.
2009 also give me the opportunity to be an intern in one of the biggest company in Malaysia. I am very lucky to have done something that was in my to-do list before i reach 40 at the very beginning of my career life. However, my life is still unwritten as i am jobless after end of my internship for 4 months. Interviews after interviews, i finally got a job and required me to have a licence and in order to do that i need to pass an exam. So basically i end my 2 months of the year the same way i started it, cramming for exams (i thought i will never hear the word exam again..hmm). And this time i didn't get the same results. I failed my exams. Yea, it does felt like a slapped on my face. But i figure that God had better plans for me and that was just a reminder. A loud and clear warning that the path that i choose is not going to be easy mentally, physically, and spiritually.
2009 also coloured my personal life. So many things happened and there are certain things that i would never imagined can happen to my life. Friendship has been expanding and great and hopefully will continue that way for the rest of my life. Meeting new people has help me see this world and life in different perspective. There are so many opportunities out there if we know how to grab it at the right moment. Life is not about black and white only, there are greys part and that makes life more challenging.
In summary, 2009 is the year to be remember as this is the year where I graduated and received my first Bachelor Degree, Internship in well-known company, had my 1st formal job, and many more. I started a year as a student and i end it as a working woman. And of course there are things that i did not achieve in 2009 and i guess it is 'Unwritten'. I'm gonna make the 'Unwritten' song as my life theme song until i find a better song.
p/s: I have been busy lately and still couldn't find my theme song for 2010. Will find one before start writing about what i expect from 2010.
