The one with the year that was 2012



Its time for the annual ‘the year that was’ post. 2012 was another eventful year despite the world ending was looming large. Since I haven’t been actively blogging, trying to recap the year isn’t that easy, but I’ll stick to the highlights I remember.
My son now as of writing is 15 months old. Aidan year one was awesome. Watching him grow and develop has been a joy. Now that he has legs, he just can’t stop moving and playing. He has grown so much and I’ve been fortunate enough to be around during his growth. He can be very cheeky and mischievous while being cute and cuddly at the same time. My wife says i spoil him too much and i let him get away with everything that I’m easily fooled by his cuteness.
Sports-wise I believe I’m no longer the player I used to be. I even don’t have the same fire and passion to play every game I can. I guess this year has probably been the year with the least sporting appearances for me. Overall in 53 futsal games, I average 2-goals and an assist per game. Basketball wise, I averaged 10-17-5-1-2 in 47 games. Didn’t get much of tennis action this year. Mainly due to the inability to get a court date and the weather hasn’t been tennis friendly. I tailed off towards the end of the year, as my will-to-play is no longer there. I now need to feed off the energy and will-to-play from others. Hopefully I can rejuvenate myself for 2013.
In May I finally made a career move. I left the Bursa Malaysia gig for a gig at Bank Simpanan Nasional. Also, I’ve rejoined the treasury line and now I’m doing what I was doing when I started my career. So far the move has been good, but I still feel unsettled.  Not plotting any exits as of yet, but will keep my options open.
So 2012 has been an eventful year on its own. Here’s hoping for a better 2013.
