Despite it being an all-round tough year, I want to count my blessings and remember the good things that happened in 2021:
- Celebrated Chinese New Year with relatives and friends in KL – because borders were closed.
- Made eco-friendly choices like recycling garbage and switching to reusable pads
- Wrote my will – because I was feeling morbid and Covid was pretty much pre-apocalyptic
- Signed a full-time contract with my employer – complete with EPF and SOCSO contributions
- Started taking supplements due to all-round Covid scares
- Got my Pfizer vaccines at Sunway Pyramid – my first choice
- Conducted a Zoom copywriting class for colleagues
- Published Two Figures in a Car and Other Stories with Penguin SEA and bagged two features with The Star and Penang Monthly
- Got an all-expenses paid trip to George Town Literary Festival 2021, including flights and five-star hotel
- Took four trips home to Penang despite the lockdown – Jan, Oct, Nov and Dec.
