It’s time to say goodbye to you, 2017! What a year it has been! I usually feel quite wistful at the end of every year, because to me, it’s the end of another chapter and 2017 has been a wonderful chapter. However, saying goodbye to certain chapters also mean beginning of new ones. This has been a big theme in my 2017, with the most obvious one being my move from Hong Kong to Singapore!
Before I say hello to 2018, I wanted to wrap up my year, and because so much happened this year that I wanted to remember, I included many snapshots from moments throughout the year! This New Year’s Eve, I’m excited. I’m excitedly hoping for further developments in the new year and excited to find out what’s next! :)
So cheers to the new year and here’s wishing you the very best in 2018!
