a Life Changing Two Years

It’s been two years since my last blog entry.

I always wanted this blog to be like a journal into my life but it has not been very well-organised. Although as I spend sometime reading back the entries, it did triggered some pleasant memories of years ago.

Well, two years has been a long time. Since 2010, quite a fair bit has changed. Perhaps a fair bit is an understatement, and live changing is more appropriate.

In 2010, I proposed to my girlfriend in Shanghai at the World Expo 2010. We made it to the news too. I started a new appointment in the Force, where a new job scope and experience awaits. I learned new skillsets and also had thankful opportunities to visit the United States and London through work.

In 2011, we got married and for our honeymoon, we took the chance to visit Spain and Italy, where I could use little smatterings of Spanish to converse. I started looking for other career opportunities but having a 3 months notice was difficult. I tried applying for business school, did pretty well on my GMAT score, but failed to make the cut for the interview. I will probably talk about that sometime later. I started visiting the gym again with Gabriel. We trained for a good 10 months, before stopping again.

In 2012, we learned to live together and marriage is a lifelong journey as we learn new things about each other. I am thankful that we are similar and that we can tolerate each other quirks, most of the time. I quit my job with the Air Force in pursuit of other interests. The work there had became uninspiring for me and I needed to rejuvenate myself.

And that brings us to October.

What will the future bring? Perhaps the state of joblessness draws out the mid life crisis emotions but despite that, I feel that the last couple of months has been a good break for me to think about what I really want to do and making the best use of the opportunities that had been presented. I am thankful for the options that appeared and I hope that in a couple of years time, life would be even more exciting.
