The 30 achievements of a 30 year old

30, a number which rejuvenates me with energy, maturity and confidence. I'm less shy about expressing myself, more controlled in temper, still cynical, and have more courage facing the unknown. I want to boost my positive vibes further by jotting down 30 experiences/achievements.

#1 Led a project on my own initiative, with a mini 3 person team
#2 Attended e-commerce conference on my own initiative and by myself
#3 Booked and decided all wedding vendors myself
#4 Worked out daily
#5 Cut down on carbs, no rice at all for dinner
#6 Shops and exchanges at net a porter for the first time
#7 Tried ash green color for the hair
#8 Became freelance translator
#9 Continued as a World Vision donor
#10 Became a panelist at a digital talk
#11 Started brainstorms on DPG business
#12 Applied for wedding registration myself
#13 Got headhunted twice
#14 Went New Zealand with parents for the first time
#15 Grew hair (now 3 inches below shoulder!)

#19 Tried on wedding gowns
#20 Fetch bobs to work in the morning before my work
#21 Rejected renewal of facial package
#22 Planned a money balloon surprise for bob's 30th birthday
#23 Went pre honeymoon trip to Istanbul. Disliked the idea and fell in love with the place after.
#24 Took 3 X Bosphorus cruises, one of it with the famed bellydance
#25 Drank pomegranate juice for the first time. And continuously for another 5,6 days.
#26 Got a historical handwoven Turkish carpet as a wedding gift from husband
#27 Planned and executed the ROM session in just 2 days' time
#28 Celebrated and danced a night of own wedding + after party, and dolled up again for second night's wedding still flashing bright smiles at a more formal celebration
#29 Gifted the most number of flowers i've ever received in my life. Probably 10 bunches in total.
#30 Left job, family comfort to SG to build new life, career, and family.

Summary: Chip at 30 is still emotionally and physically attached to loved ones, and is always ready for a good time with people i like. I became slightly more independent, knowing to move forward and make decisions when required, and am able to feed from support network and own infinite pool of optimism to help me brave the path ahead.
