I once read a story about the big rocks inside a jar. It said the most important things in our life should be in first, and the rest could follow. It was about priorities. One of those most important things are family. I lost my mother earlier this year, and this week my brother had to go to Taiwan (could be for good) to continue his study. I notice that this "jar of my life" can never be the same again.
Apart from that, many things happened this year. 2012 is one of the most difficult times that I had ever gone through. It surprised me at times that I could go through all that happened this year.
