I learnt this in 2021

 1. Whatever my mother did that hurt me in the past, I know now that she didnt mean it. (January)

2. Other people / incident can be the trigger to our emotions, but we are the ones carrying the ammunition / explosive. We need to figure out the reason behind this. Then we will be free of the trigger. (January)

3. We are all victims of victims. (January)

4. Forgiveness is all about you. (Feburary)

5. Eat first. I buy things I regret later if I am hungry. I panic more when I am hungry. (February)

6. Siblings toughen you up, cos you are always in a competition for attention. (February)

7. 我们不是缺乏想象力,只是我们把想象力用在想像自己失败的样子 - from MrsMogi (February)

8. People who don't listen to themselves and take care of their own needs, will become a bigger burden to other people in future.

9. To be good at something, you need to do it everyday, but (the practice) may not be good everyday. (March)

10. Our job is to solve problems, if there are no problems, then we won't have a job - from Asha (March)

11. Don't go running after pain - from Asha (March) 

8. For the Queen, there are 3 important things : Good health, strong faith and Prince Phillip. (April, after Prince Phillip's funeral)

9. I scratched my neighbour's car. The communication process could be better, although we offer compensation later on, my neighbour didnt respond, she probably refused to even consider due to pride. I didnt mean to be a bad person by not admitting to my mistake. It's just that whole scenario blew out of proportion when one party starts raising their voice and things got out of hand. I have learnt that when you want to ask for something, you really need to maintain your cool. Anger doesnt get you anything. Pride is just a fancy word - full of fluff. (October)

10. I am thankful that I wrote down some of the important things that I went through this year on this blog. Looking back, I saw that I have always been trying to fix my anxiety and worries. Showed me that I do care and love myself. I want to give myself a big hug. (Dec)

11. You need to talk to someone (really). (December)

11. Most of the time, it's our thoughts that spurred our emotions. (December)

12. Hospital Playlist is one of the best Korean Dramas I have ever watched. I long to have close friends like the characters in the drama. Shows how lonely I feel inside.

I am happy that I did this in 2021

1. I got a booster jab for Hepatitis. (January)

2. Read up about how to stop the victim mentality (February)

3. Finish The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion. We all have a bit of Don in us. (February)

4. Watch "What Really Happened in Sleeping Beauty" by Jordan Peterson. (February)

5. I did a health checkup at Gleneagles Hospital. (March)

6. I found RM100 in my CK clutch at work!! (1st April - best April's fool gift!)

7. Finish Maybe You Should Talk To Someone by Lori Gottlieb. An enjoyable and insightful read. (April) 

8. Got the monks to pray for my sister's recovery from Covid and dontated money to the temple (Sept)
