It’s been a while... 2018 was much about the people in my life - family, friends and acquaintances. Learning to accept and embrace my situation and condition was a challenge for me but I’d like to believe I’ve grown from the experience and now moved forward in life. Truly grateful for all the kind and wonderful people around me. 😊🙏🏻 #ThankYou #JacqinSg2018 #JacqinSKorea2018 #JacqinMelb2018 #JacqinBrissie2018 https://www.instagram.com/p/BtUFJAZBLu71VxPqE9HxGZ1Tgl_Kehxxi95c7s0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a7ptgecu2e1c

Weekend with sis visiting Brisbane for the first time. Lots of sunshine and quality time spent together. Pretty sure I’ll soon be missing her company. Thanks for the pressies and laughters shared. Perhaps I’ll see you in Melbourne next time. Love you~ Ta! 😘 #sisterhood #chiangsisters #JacqinBrissytown (at Brisbane-Domestic Terminal)

On the sixth day of the new year, I had Turkish dinner at Ahmets followed by Mamma Mia musical. That’s food for my stomach and food for my soul. 😋🎶 #AhmetsTurkishRestaurant #MammaMiaQPAC #JacqinBrissytown (at South Bank, Brisbane)

Day trip in the hot humid summer seemed insane until we took the time off and stepped outside to drive to Eumundi and Montville. 🏘🚗💨😎😅☀️🍴🥖🥤🍦😋 Beautiful scenery, lovely company, and small talks filled with laughters made it all worthwhile. #JacqinQueensland (at Montville, Queensland)

QXR Christmas Party last night. 🎄🐨☢️🎉🤗 It’s been an amazing year with this company. I’ve met so many wonderful people along the way and made friends with the most amazing bunch of SPP/Graduate radiographers. Even though our paths may split from here on, may we do our best to be our best in our future endeavours. #notthebestpictures #awesomemates #yummyfoods #tootiredtopartyallnight #JacqinBrissytown (at Victoria Park Golf Complex)

What more can I ask for when I already have the sweetest bestie ever! 💜💁🏻 @lze.joey ☺️😘 This week has been overwhelmed with challenges at work including new workplace and people. Left Sunnybank last week and started like a freshie/newbie once again in Greenslopes this week. Even though it's already my 4th rotation block and past the halfway point of my internship and year 2017, I still feel lost and confused in the new environment. Despite that, I'm still grateful for the opportunity given to learn and practice; and thanks to support from all my wonderful friends, old and new, I'm gaining strength to persevere and move on. 💪🏻 To adapt and readapt; never getting too comfortable - that's my #InternLife 💁🏻🤓 #SPP2017 #BrissieMedRad #JacqinBrissytown (at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia)

Lunch at Pablo followed by a quiet afternoon in Brisbane Powerhouse looking at photos that filled my mind with lots of reflection on my self and life. 🤔💭💭💭 My heart sunk as I stood in front of some pictures that reflected the kinds of society and living outside the world I ever lived in or am familiar with. 😔😢 Turning around and walking out, I was glad to see my dear friends with me, and we watched the beautiful scene of people enjoying the park and time with their loved ones as the sun sets. 🌅 My heart quickly warmed up while I was once again reminded of how fortunate I am and to be thankful for it. ☺️ #時時刻刻警惕自己要懂得惜福珍惜生命 #JacqinBrissytown (at New Farm, Queensland, Australia)

My first Vietnamese coffee. So sweet and "un-pho-gettable" 😜 Of course, good company makes for tastier lunch. ☕️🍜😋 #JacqinBrissytown (at Cafe O-Mai)

Another enjoyable leisure day trip with friends from work. ☢️ Both Redcliffe and the weather today have been so beautiful, blessing us with times for lovely walks and talks throughout the day. 😎☀️🐟🍟🎶☕️🍰🚘 It's amazing how much we gain and grow from stepping out of our comfort zones and keeping an open mind to learn from others' experiences. Appreciating and embracing spontaneity. #敞開胸懷互相學習互相尊重一起成長 #JacqinQueensland (at Redcliffe, Queensland)
