Happy Chinese New Year!

The bed at home somehow feels so much more comfortable.

Happy to be home.

Happy to be with my family.

Happy he'll be here soon.

Happy that it's gonna be a good start to the year.

So many movies wanna watch...!

The year that was

Read through the few posts I'd put up for the past year. Saw myself through the eyes of an outsider. And considered putting behind this collection of memories that I'd build up for the past few years.

2008. For the rest of the world.

A special year for many.

Auspicious date to tie the knot.

New careers for young adults like myself.

Renewed friendships.

Rise of terrorism.

A year of earth shattering natural disasters.

The Great Depression?


For me, it was 365 chapters of a great epic.Everyday served to be a eye-popping adventure, with steep right angled learning curves.

2008. For mini me.

1. The dawn of many a beautiful friendships.
Made many great friends, especially my buddies at work. Us BFFs got together finally geographically.Met up with many of the Georgians...even SKBLians.....Feels so great that we are now all grown up now.How IS everyone?

2. Giant steps to my tiny career
The first year's a honeymoon. Getting thrown into the job now.Being forced to learn so quick..I'm starting to think I can move mountains. Of course, I am but a miniscule creature in the entire organization. I've gotta stay tough... and try even harder!Thank you to all the ppl who have given me this opportunity!!

3.Forgotten diet schemes, and growing tummies and gastronomical affairs.
Working late and slugging the entire weekend sometimes makes one feel the need for a scrumptious reward.That's what keeps me going. Then of course the trips back to Pg, Kl and then when Mr D drops by to visit in Sg. Happiness often leads to makan-ing. Havent ate so much for ages.Have gotta do something about it quick ( mental note to include in new year resolution)

4.A sudden conscience for thrift
With the conversion rate, with the added benefits, I SHOULD have a tad bit more moo-lah to spend and launch into a crazy shopping spree...being in a shopaholic haven. Surprise.. Surprise. Actually am starting to get bored with the streets of Orchard. Walk by without even much of a glance at the big SALE sign in VIVO.

5.Back to my bookworm days
Long hours in the MRT. Books are my answer to commuting. As such an entire shelf of novels ( books are somewhat cheaper here) and self help books.Of course not to forget my monthly collection of Fashion mags, Health mags, Homestyle mags and also... ahem..stylewedding.com. :d

6. In line to receive loyal customer of the year from budget airlines.
A large chunk of what earned each month goes into a fund to be donated to either AirAsia, Jetstar, TigerAir and even MAS. Sigh... if only i could teleport.

7. the ONE.
Controversial. But the best decision I have made ever.I may be wrong, but it never felt so right.Affecting other ppl around was not intentional.Believe in the feeling. Have trusted my instincts all my life. And to date, have never regretted once. :)
So true?

Something Duncan shared....

A great great year all in all.

and I spy into my magic ball.

2009 will be a greater one. With much much more to rejoice.

So a very HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!

Happy belated birthday daddy!

I feel the same darling...

well, not many things can bring me a tear...but this definitely did.


Cant blame me. Me family is a conventional one. And thus, heartfelt declarations are not a norm.


On this special month, i learnt to appreciate my dad and my mom even more. ( Not that i didnt before.. )


HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY DADDY!

daddy and mummy in Korea a month back...


and they will be going to the land of LOTR next month with the two kiddies! Now, so UNFAIR right....

But i still love them to bits... MUAKSSS

and since I'm at it...

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TOO, MR D.. :P

In foreign land

Of course, it's only but 400 km away from where I used to call home ... and perhaps 800 km away from real home...

I must be sounding like a real baby.

I can't deny the homesickness. I can get used to it. This new life. I love the fitness culture here actually. Pretty uplifting to see fellow jogging aficionados around.

It's strange leaving KL after I've been there for sometime and gotten so used to it. I'm missing everyone. Amidst the hustle, I was too emotionally wrecked to remember thanking all these great people whom I wont get to see so often.

My fellow breakfast mates, great friends who keep me uplifted at work....


My kawan- kawan baik from MMU days who are some of my bestest friends now....both the guys and the gals... these all the people I confide my darkest secrets too!

I want my girls night out, shopping excursions and crazy jogging sessions back!!

eh, where is Sat? :D Of course not all my girls I have in the pic. Where are you Viv! Chu! Sue Anne!KHEK YANG!

More pals from work. In fact, I think I'm gonna miss the entire office. I never felt more happy to go to work each day....


Then there is Joey, and Jamie..and Julliana....
both these gals have been here the first day I joined Tyco and have been my makan partner, partners in crime ever since... I love you guys!!!


Thank you guys for the lovely farewells. Made me all choked up. The flowers, the gifts.. the catching up sessions.. the photograph sessions....

No worries! I'll be BACK! Watch out!
