2009 quick glance

It's 23 rd Dec 2009.
Another 8 days to go.
I am trying to recall the moment or events that worth writing down in 2009:

January - KL trip with Family; first time i settled accomodation for my parents and sister. I hope they enjoyed the trip; though it was a bit borng in KL ?

February - I cant remember anything worth to be recorded here?

March - I went to Philippines for the first time. Shangri-la resort at Cebu Island was fantastic.

April/May - I went to Vietnam (Ho Chi Ming City) for the first time. It's also the first trip together with AI,Poh,JT and her husband. Unforgettable trip as i had a dramatic moment with Poh; it must be still an unpleasant memory for her. I apologized thousand times. I decided to review my temper from that day on ward. Wake Up Mr Poison! Please refrain from being angry over small matters; friendship is the one that matters! I hope we are planning for another trip together?

May - I learnt more about my weaknesses in May. I need to beware of people who appeared to be easygoing but trying to scone you and get the best out of it. Damn it!

June - Went to Jakarta for a business trip. It's my first business trip to Jakarta with my current job. No more drivers or any priveledges in Jakarta anymore. The ways Singaporean and Indonesian companies behaved in work were apparently different.

July/Aug - I thought whenever i went back to my hometown, I turned into a lazy pig. I should sit down with my parents, listen to them, talk to them, talk to my sister and brother more often. I should keep myself away from my computer and TV. I am really a couch potato!

September - I started to increase my working hours @ W during weekend. I started getting bored with my job and less motivated. I wonder why i was such an attention seeker. I wanted the attention badly and lacking that in job made me dull and useless. I wanted to perform, give me something to perform, dont cut away my job or stuff me with craps!

October - I worked hard (@ W). I hated my current job. I did not see any future and i felt like submitting resignation letter any time. I missed my hometown as i went back only twice a month. I drove less in my hometown.

November -I put on weight apparently (my God). I was happy to meet my old translation friends over a dinner. I had my birthday with various friends; i spent a lot in November. I enjoyed every moment with my friends, my parents and my siblings, though i may not act like so.

December - My wallet was almost burnt out entering December. I bought a pair of Boots. I bought a Down Jacket; yes I was preparing for my Tokyo Trip. I managed to re-connect with my old Japanese e-pal through my cousin. (Thanks Cousin, no chance to thank you). I will be departing for Narita just 4 days later. My 3rd trip with my brother. How nice to have a brother who is willing to accompany you anywhere you want to go.

It's Christmas Eve. I am not a Christian (yet?).
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas.


P/S:To JY and friends, i am sorry i cant attend the Ma La steamboat on Christmas day. Please enjoy yourself.
