There
are only few hours left to say good bye to 2015 and welcome 2016. The whole
world is busy getting ready to welcome another new year. I’m pretty sure we all
got new hopes ,wishes and challenges to complete in next year and it will be
great to realise that we are very fortunate to looking in to 2016 since some of
the people who celebrated 2015 with us are no longer with us to celebrate 2016.
I thought writing down what I feel about how was my 2015 year went will be a
good idea. Someday, may be at the end of 2016 I can look back at this post and compare how I spent my 2016. I
believe it’s always important to improve yourself at least a bit .That’s what
make you feel you have achieved something in your life.
When
I am looking back at how I spend 2015 I can honestly say I was able to improve myself
over all. It’s been a great year for my studies at Curtin and I have finished 3
years in my engineering degree and looking forward to start my final year next
year. I was fortunate to have great friends who were always helped me in my
studies and who always got my back when things aren’t going well. 2015 was my 3rd
year in Australia and it’s been great life experience so far. Living in a
strange country with people who I never met before was a big challenge and overcoming
the obstacles and hardships I went through made me a stronger person. Now I
feel I’m ready to face my life all by myself and I’m pretty excited about
upcoming years.
Spending 3 years as an undergraduate was a great experience. I started studying
at Curtin in 2013 and I slowly became good at what I love to do. Engineering
was not one of my favourite field until I actually started to learn it and now
Engineering has become the love of my life. I believe it’s not just a
profession but a way of life if you are serious about it. 2015 was the climax
of that as I started to specialise in electrical power engineering. I was
fortunate to me lot of smart, brilliant people in electrical engineering field
from different cultures, social back grounds and different viewpoints. It
really made my experience at university more pleasant and challenging. I recon
next year will be more challenging but I’m pretty confident me and my friends
are ready to face it and win it.
2015
year was an important year even for my personal life. After going through some
painful experiences in my life I finally overcame them and started to enjoy
being alive and healthy. I realised it’s not the hopes that make you a human
being but working hard and constantly adopting to the situation makes you a survivor.
Hopes just give you a momentarily pleasure but working towards achieving them
gives you more pleasure and satisfaction. At the beginning of every year we
determine to change our way of life for the betterment of our selves but only
few of us are strong enough to believe in them and chase them. For me it was a
mixed experience in 2015. I had couple of things determined to do but I couldn't
achieve all of them but I’m happy that I was able to achieve some of the most
important things in the list.
In 2015,
I started my internship as a trainee electrical engineer at Western Power, the electrical
utility company in Western Australia. It was like a dream come true and I enjoy
every morning going there, doing something that actually relate to what I study
,meeting some brilliant people who excel at what they do and taking advices and
guidance from them. I’m thankful to my supervisor, Mr. Chathura Karunaratna who
gave me the opportunity to work there and always find time to guide me in his
busy schedule. My other team mates are also a big help for me at office and especially
I want to thank Mr. Charles Mnyanjagha and Mrs.Nadee Jayasekara who are always kind
enough to help me. I have been working there since 1st of December
and I have two more months there to complete my internship and gather some good
professional experience and lots of sweet memories.
Sometimes
I wonder that I have already spent about 1/3 of my life time and I have become
an adult who have some responsibilities. It’s been nice to see my friends have
changed so much and doing well. During school time we all were trained to do
the same thing without giving much attention to what everyone is capable of. But
now I have friends who took different paths in life and enjoying the life and
what they do. I’m thankful to every friend of mine who was a part of my life
during some stage in my life. We may not meet again but it’s been great to
spend time with them and it’ll always be preserved as a good memory.
I would like to thank to my parents, my
brother and sister who were always there for me when I need them. 2015 was a
year which I understood the importance of family bond to life. It gives me a
great pleasure to see the next generation of my family (my 3 nephews) growing
well in both physically and mentally. I’m sure our parents and relative must
have had the same kind of feelings towards us when we were small kids. I t’s so
amazing to see how repetitive is life. So I realised the best way to live life
is to live at the moment and enjoying it to the fullest.
No
matter what happens life goes on. It’s the way of life. In 31st of December
2016 we’ll look back at 2016 and will have a laugh at about the silly yet lovely
stuff we did. It’s good to have hopes but as I said it won’t make a human out
of you. In every morning we have 2 choices, stay in bed and keep dreaming or
get out of the bed and chase your dreams. It’s up to us to make the correct choice.
I wish all of you a happy new year. 2016 will be a new challenge to each one of
us but we are defined by how we face them. I feel 2016 going to be an amazing
year for myself in both academically and personally and hope same for you.
And
also I would like to thank to people who come here to read my blog. I will do
my best to add more useful content to my blog and hopefully everyone who spend
their valuable time reading my blog will find something useful to them . I
would like to thank you my brother Uchitha Ranasinghe and his friend Mr.
Chaminda Serasinghe whose constant feedback give me the courage to write what I
know. Hope to see you all in New Year with a good attitudes towards 2016.
