The Year that was 2012

[Recap]

2012 was certainly an interesting year for me with some big changes in my life but somehow I guess I must have been having a lot of fun as the year seemed to go by in a flash!

This was my first year being an entrepreneur and managing Malaysia’s Hottest Bloggers full time. I must thank God as he has blessed my venture with good bloggers, supportive clients and agencies throughout the year and as I look back to where we came from and where we are now I’m very thankful indeed.

Also many thanks to my friends who have been supportive and understanding (I know I’ve not been seeing you as often as I’d like to and I promise to make more time for you in 2013!).

Anyway here are some highlights of my year.

It was not all sunshine and rainbows though as there were a lot of challenges being an entrepreneur. But it’s through overcoming challenges that we learn and grow as a person.

Also both my maternal grandparents were called to heaven in December to celebrate Christmas with Jesus. I will miss them a lot but I know that they are in a better place.

Well 2012 was an awesome year and it proved to me that if you follow you passion and work with ethics and professionalism you can go places.
