Oh what a Year!! While FaceBook and Times helped some of my friends to summarize their year - thought now would be a good time to look back and retrospect. 2014 - it's been a year of progress all around. It is also time to Thank everybody who contributed to it in many many ways. Gracias!!
The biggest milestone this year has been moving into our home in Sydney. Yes, for those whom I haven't shared this earlier - we have moved into a townhouse in a suburb called South Wentworthville. After moving from Salem and having lived in rental properties (for more than 18 years!!) this is truly a different experience. It gives a whole new perspective in the place where I live. It truly could not have happened without timely help from family and friends. Can't thank them enough!! I will have to write a separate post on all the drama and experience of buying a house. Am glad it's over - at least for a good while.
Nandha's development has come about as a huge relief. Here again a lot of support and help from multiple sources. A lot of credit goes to Uma of course for pulling it through and taking him to all the necessary support activities.
I had promised Nandhitha to send her to India on vacation this year and am glad we could keep up the word - in spite of few uncertainties. An added bonus was for me to take a short break in India as well. A wonderful, short, hectic trip.
My frequent visits to Singapore this year must be noted as well. Great bonding time with family and of course many many treats to my taste buds. My camera had a fantastic time as well and has resulted in some decent photos.
A few things didn't go well this year, which I hope to work on next year. That has been Tennis and Blogging. Have been very bad - thanks to multiple factors but mostly work and travel.
On the work front it has been a fantastic year. It had a good start in March with me getting an award for Sales Excellence for the previous year. Something I definitely did not expect being a newbie in the field. There were a few setbacks but still managed to add a few more accounts under my hat. It has been a roller coaster with ups and downs every now and then. I guess it kept me on my toes and a great learning experience - though stressful at times. As many people tease me - Manila has now become my 2nd home with so many trips this year. Work related travel also gave me opportunities to enjoy a grand slam experience and other interesting places in Manila and Singapore.
2015 is already looking to be quite exciting. Expecting to have many new experiences at home and work.
Until then...
Wishing you A Fantastic New Year 2015!!
