2005 in 20/20

In 2005, I've committed some crimes:

Guilty of:
- Procrastinating. What can wait till tomorrow will get done the day after tomorrow.

- Not planning my annual leave properly. It's year-end and I have 12 days (out of 18) of leave left! Not that i'm complaining but they could have been put to better use such as filling up the gaps in between the holidays and proloooonging the holidays.

- Letting my guard down by revealing too much. Better to shut the duck up and keep those eyes and eyes wide open. (Did I just do it again?)

- Cluttering my room. Bad idea to bring work home. Too much shopping, too little space. Ants and various species of spiders are calling my room home too.

- Taking for granted my loved ones. This takes the 'Biggest Crime Of The Year Award'.

But In 2005, I also did some things right-

- Joining the force to become part of the research team.
- Setting up this blog and meeting all you crasy, like-minded bloggers
- Expanding my social circles and meeting lots of new friends.
- Learning a new skill- Moderating. And attending lots of courses related to market research.
- Writing three articles for a local magazine. These got published and I was paid. Not the fattest cheque but I get a tremendous kick from seeing my name in print.
- Making it a point to keep in touch with friends from different points of my life.

There, what a year this has been! Lots of downs too but sometimes you need to roll with it to really appreciate the ups. Geez, I wonder what 2006 has in store..

Hope 2005 has been a stellar year for you too.

Cheers,
Natalie
