311212: Last day of year 2012

Looking back at what MooMoo have done so far in year 2012.  Well, it have not been a great year for MooMoo but it was a year of great learning and experiences that makes MooMoo grow along the way.

These are some of the things that MooMoo have learned or gained in year 2012:

1. Met some nasty people whom made MooMoo learnt her lessons on how to deal with difficult people by not behaving just equally nasty like them.  It is really a self empowerment to let these people affecting you and your mood, knowingly that you cannot control their actions but you can control your own actions.  (Points to ponder: Sometimes, we can be the 'difficult people' in other people's lives?!?)

2. Known and met some great people whom made MooMoo feels great in various ways.  Great friends from far and near, whom provide continuos support especially during down moments, great instructors whom provide great classes for MooMoo, some great people whom gave MooMoo some enlightenment and AHA moments, and some great people whom help MooMoo in small little ways, which made a big difference in her life.  MooMoo can consider herself lucky to be surrounded with these wonderful people.

3. MooMoo's challenging completion in her 1st Full Marathon.  It was the 1st and hopefully not the last, and definitely not the best as she did not do consistent training for her preparation.  It was quite a mental challenge completion running half the race in heavy rain and walking for more than 10km in pain.  Well, MooMoo is still glad that she is able to complete it.  "Mind over Body"

4. MooMoo's expedition to Tibet.  It was really a lifetime experience going on that adventure with a friend and another 2 friends of hers.  Through the 3 weeks journey in Tibet, MooMoo really learns a lot and see things more differently.  MooMoo managed to conquered the holy mountain, Mt. Kailash 52km trekking of 3 days 2 nights in 2 days 1 night at the max high altitude of 6714m.  It was really tough with the Altitude sickness symptoms and stamina is nothing when you are lacking of oxygen.  Anyway, the trip was worth it for the beautiful sceneries and experiences, though some parts of it is considered sufferings for some.  Met 2 new great friends on that trip.  Although MooMoo is a Catholic, she really likes Dalai Lama's teachings and quotes.   One of his quote "In the practise of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher."

5. Loss of MooMoo's beloved brother.  This was something that MooMoo and family didn't expect that it would come so soon though it is something that cannot be avoided for his stage.  This made MooMoo realize that how 'Life is short' and we really got to cherish every moment and live life to the fullest.  Some things just don't have to take it so seriously, as at the end of the day, it may not be that important after all.  It would be great dying without any regrets.  MooMoo just wish that Cutie Pie will grow up healthily and happily.

6. Discover a new hobby: Balloon Sculpting.  Just something fun to entertain the kids.  No plans to change job to be a full time clown or balloonist.  Haha!  It could be fun entertaining people and making them happy, making balloons sculpture for them.  It's always good to continue to learn new things to keep the brains working.  

7. Letting go of the burden that has been bothering MooMoo for 2 years.  It certainly makes MooMoo feel better after talking things out, though never pursuing who is at fault.  Whatever that has happened had already happened and cannot be changed.  Therefore, there's no point pursuing further on the past as we cannot change the past.  "Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending." --- Carl Bard

8. A fulfilling trip with whole family during Christmas, away on a cruise.  Actually, what really matters is not the place but the gathering of the whole family together to spend some quality time together; eating and chatting together.  Cherish your family and do try spend more time with them, while you can.  Of course, it may not be easy for some with tight schedule at work and some others with certain commitments but definitely, if we put some effort to it, there is always a way to that. "If it is important, you will always find a way."


These are some areas MooMoo should further improve on next year 2013:

1. Stop Procrastinating! Sometimes, you will end up killing yourself.

2. Feed the soul at all times.  Body without a soul is nothing.

3. Flexibility... in both daily lives and physically.

4. Stop being so honest all the time! Sometimes, a little lie won't hurt you but the whole truth makes people unhappy...

5. Be more organized and take control in things!


MooMoo was sick on the last day of year 2011 and today on the last day of 2012, she is also sick.  Haha! Is this a routine on how to end each year?  MooMoo hopes that next year things will be different, with a "NEW" MooMoo.  Ganbatte!!! ^=^


* HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013!!! May all be blessed with great health, joy and happiness in the year 2013. ^=^
