Day 7 » A photo of yourself five years ago.

This picture was taken on Sept 30, 2005 in an 8-degree cold lounge bar called EskiBar. It was during my last business trip to Singapore. Here i am hanging out with Nitin, our former Forum Nokia trainer, and Je, my former officemate.

I chose this picture because it shows a lot of how much my life style and myself changed in the last five years.

1. I had black and straight hair. And i didn't need to get a salon treatment for that.
2. I used to wear dangling earrings on a regular night out.
3. I used to go bar-hopping with friends. And with Nitin, we would always have to go somewhere where there's dancing.
4. I was still working for a different company. And i get to go on business trips at least twice a year just because we have to be there for every Forum Nokia training.
5. I only get to travel due to business trips. I can never afford spending my own money for a trip.

Except for loosing my straight, black hair, i am quite thankful of these changes in my life. It is still nowhere near perfect after five years, but i do think i am in a better position in life now. I just hope i can still say the same thing five years from now.
