Whoosh, another year has passed by.
What to sum up the happy moment of my 2015?
1. Traveled back to Penang again :)
2. Witnessed my brother wedding (love love)
3. Stayed in a sea view suite in the Rasa Sayang Hotel. So good that I want to go back again.
4. Saw Lau Tong & Poay Ying in the New York City. 2 people from home made me missing home even more. I wept the moment that I parted with Poay Ying. They made me missing Penang terribly, in a nostalgic manner.
5. It is a year of all America travelings - Finger Lakes, Chicago & Alaska.
a. Finger Lakes is a quieter place compared to our place. It actually bored us with its countryside lifestyle.
b. Chicago Millennium Park was relaxing. We went on the dinner cruise to see the Chicago skyscrapers. On the 4th of July, we saw the fireworks from the Chicago 360 Observatory. We basically had a vision of miles away from the Hancock Tower. That gave us countless sites of fireworks for at least 30 minutes.
c. Celebrated my birthday in Alaska, continue to strive not to spend my birthday at the same location twice. Alaska trip was fresh, new and very different in term of scenery and experience. The Virgin Blue flight was simply awesome. We were able to go on the internet while we were in the air.

We drove the RV to the Denali National Park, sleeping in the National Park for the first time and was told that we slept under the aurora. The first-time events kept counting in this magical place. We entered into the 30% club that seeing the Denali and we have 7 sightings of bear. Can't be more lucky in this outdoor expedition.
Within the same trip, we came so close with the things that are not found in our familiarity - icebergs, glaciers, fjords and tonnes of wildlife. It is one amazing trip, which the details will be hard to wear off.
6. Gotten myself a pair of Timberland hiking shoes for the Alaskan trip. They are waterproof. Most importantly, they are very comfortable for hiking. Best investment as I basically walked in those for the 10 days out in the wild and continued using them for the fall hikings.
7. Brown Bottega Veneta Intreciatto was my Christmas gift.
8. An iPhone 6P out of the blue.
What is for 2016? As I looked through my 2015 wish list, they look almost the same things I wish for 2016. It feels like I have been procrastinating for a year. Yet, those are not the easy things. *Excuse*
1. Exercise 3 times a week. (Same thing again - doable now with the rope-less skipping ropes & oh my Venus plank motivation)
2. Read 6 books again. (2015: 2 books only, omg. Facebook!!!)
3. Write more.
4. Do better golf.
5. Use the bicycle helmet and rack at least once.
6. Rationale negotiations.
7. Korean still. (Surprised to see it in last year list.)
8. Be healthy and love Donkoi more each day.
9. 1 glass of alcohol per meal. (Doing pretty well on this until 2015 holidays season)
10. Dieting. 55kg, maybe.
11. 365 project on Instagram
