It's been a year since the day I deemed my very own Grown Up Day. And a year since then, lots of things have happened that have made me more grown up than ever before. It's just life taking its course you see.
In no particular order at all, I present the few things that I remember achieving in the past year.
- I am in a relationship - one that's for the long run.
- My boyfriend met my parents, twice.
- I jointly bought a car with my boyfriend. I now have an asset to my name (not including my bicycle).
- I have decided to buy a house. Hopefully the buying part will occur in the next year. Oh, and yes, again, it's a joint purchase.
- I am officially an Australian Citizen now - a huge step from that Student Visa I came here with.
- I stuck to my job for a year and in that year, I have achieved quite a bit.
- Having stuck there for a year, I have earned an employee share scheme of $1000 worth. So I now have shares too, in addition to the car, under assets to my name.
- I was the best teller for the first half of the year (that I started).
- My manager told me she has never seen anyone who has done over 2000 transactions in a month. She has been working in banks for over 20 years. I did 2002 that one month, not including certain transactions that don't count as "transactions".
- I have earned over $400 in gift cards at work - either through votes from peers, recognition from the Regional Manager or from mini competitions held by my manager.
- I now have my very own cheque book! =)
- I spent my first Chinese New Year without my parents. I was surrounded with friends, but it just wasn't the same.
- I spent my first Valentine's having a Valentine but not being with my Valentine.
- I fell in love.
That's not too bad for a year huh.
Hopefully there's better news to come in the new year - ones that involve a new job and a new home!
