The end of this page
The truth is,
this year did not turn out to be quite the year that I had hoped and planned (not seriously enough, obviously) for it to be.
I did take up the German class, and with a quick glance at my notes, can recall the use of the different forms of declension quite well. But, can I speak German now? Nope. Not at all. Just the 'Ich bin Jancy' bit is still fine. Following that, I learnt a little about wines, from the same teacher. But, chardonnay or shiraz? Honestly, I still say, "Gimme a beer, baby!"
Didn't go for any baking, cooking, culinary class. But, had my own creations of fried rice (paradise), improved tremendously in cooking pasta aglio olio (verified by my mum, jasmine and emman), built a budding relationship with potato (think potato salad n mashed potato) and passed the half-way mark in cooking pan-fried fish fillet with herbs.
The year of learning is closing, without much to boast about. What a shame! But, who cares?! I never kept any resolutions. In sum, it's been a year of the very usual-highs and the very-usual lows, with some unusual highs in between.
With the year's dusk nearing and the new year's dawn pushing, I continue to meet the necessary in the everyday-living, while finding my path, my position to stand tall in this order of things.
Dear friends, in the year to come, have a happy one!
