Somehow it doesn't feel like a new year to me. Just a continuation of the old one. Maybe I'm just trying to deny the fact that i will be turning 26 this year. Getting older. I don't really mind getting older actually although it brings those much feared wrinkles and all the problems that come with aging. I just don't want certain other people to age along with me.
I haven't made many plans for the year actually. Still a bit lost about what areas I am going to serve in for the year, what new things I want to learn at work, what mission trips or activities to go for. It's still a big blank calendar waiting to be filled up. It's empty yet it's the emptiness that makes it messy.
This first month is already a bit different. Jon will not be around with me as much for camp and china mission trip, as well as another day for Gid and WM's Subang wedding dinner. I do feel a bit left out in a sense but I guess it's a good break as we have become somewhat too reliant on each other's company now. Or at least I am.
Also my only other girl colleague in my team is getting transferred out to another team for two months. This definitely means a change in team dynamics as she does kind of link all of us together in a way. From production schedule work seems to be piling up in the first few months of the year and overall the lab will be seeing a shortage in manpower. This means we need to work faster and at the same time there is also a higher need to be helpful, considerate, and forgiving. I hope the change will be for the good of my character.
Watched The Hobbit two days ago and I would say that overall I would take the movie (at least this first part) to be superior to the book in terms of story telling. This review merits a whole post so I will leave that to next time.
