Summary of my 2009

Ok i personally don't think 2009 had been very happening.

Nevertheless, here is a summarized of the path i've walked.

Started the year with dad's knee surgery which went well thankfully, hopefully the 2nd time will be too. Family wise, through countless quarrels, arguments & laughter, experiences; i'm glad we braved through all.
经一事，长一智.

Blessed that i had 4 wonderful holiday trips.
Spring Shanghai-Suzhuo-Xi An, May Typhoon HongKong, Summer Phuket & Winter Korea.
All are group trip... 人多好办事 esp in phototaking!

Work wise, i survived the war in office through accepting my fate which was sealed by peps with upper hand. Taking a back seat from sales then i begin to see how irritating sales peps can be towards the support staff.
But given a choice i still prefer the challenge of striving towards a numeric target.
From 5 days work week, i experienced alternate 4 days work week and resulted being abit slack.
It's a blessing that through these, some colleagues-relationship evolved into friendship.
日久见人心

Friendship wise, i've managed to seen clearly how insignificant i am to some and how important i am to my dearies. Witnessed their union with the other half with some happening acts, witnessed their upgrade of status to parenthood & witnessed some basking in love.
Pls be assured that just because i don't meet u that often, it does not mean u're any less important to me. But once disappointed, the crack will take a long time & huge effort to recover.
友亲如手足

Relationship with jt remains. No major changes except he had been flying out of spore alot frequently & so i had to be alot independent (not that i was very dependent on him before).
He also shared a lil' business venture with his buddy at Kimochi and he shifted nearer in amk.
原谅我就是这样的女生但我并非不爱你

On a personal note, i watched a few excellent works like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Coco Before Chanel, 500days of Summer, 十月围城, 败犬女王, Boys Over Flower & Design for Living.
Only 2 fabulous concert performance from Aaron Kwok & Garden of Music featuring Jam Hsiao, Show Luo & beloved Daniel.
Tried my hand in FB (still active in it), laptop (only for webchat & drama), iphone (trying to get used to it), a lil' PR work with miss reporter, having fake extended yet oh! so pretty nails from Cyn (and discovered the rough girl me can still break it); started on yoga (hope it can be on regular basis), gotten 2 new cammies (Canny & OBird), done 2 full body check up (discovered my cholesterol is abit on the high side), completed 1 scrapz album (planning to start my TW album)
那我的2010又会是怎样呢?

Here's wishing everyone of u reading this entry a better, healthier, wealthier, happier & smoother
ahead!

As 2009 comes to an end

i totally loved the non-working week!
Yeah! Will only report back to work on 4th Jan 2010.

So i spend last week feasting, exchanging Xmas gifts & having a good time with loved ones.
This week i decided to give myself a good rest.
Stayed home for the past 3 days except to watch a free crappy movie.
While at home, instead of being a couch potato, i cleaned out my room!
So happy with my accomplishment!
Not that my room is very messy nor dirty.
But when i get my hand started clearing out drawers after drawers, shelf after shelf & wardrobe after wardrobe.
Lolx actually there is only 1 bedside table, 1 TV console cum shelf & 1 wardrobe in my room.
But all the things & clothes stashed within are amazingly plentiful!
Ya the nostalgic me simply love to keep all kinds of things as memento.
Found some shinny idol cards, neo prints, a stack of old foolscap paper from ATS & AMKSS, gifts from ex-bfs, old polo tees from SP, Citi, KE & lotsa useless tix & movie stubs!
i need to be less emotionally attached to reduce the amount of memento to keep.
And till that day come, my room will always be filled with lotsa keepsakes.

Unwrapping

Santa came & gone so fast
And i put on some weight by feasting & feasting for a whole week!

As usual, the yearly xmas gift xchange took placed over the past week.
Finally sat down to unwrap all the Xmas gifts...and amidst all, here are some interesting findings
It's a must to receive at least 1 item from Body Shop.
The usual choc & candy are also unsurprising.
Most ppl do Xmas shopping at CK Tang, Isetan, Takashimaya & Watson.

Btw, hairbands are definitely in fashion.
If not, why else would i received not 1 but 2 this year!
Cool~
Oh! and someone actually stunned me with the packaging of her gift.
my initial thought was:" Don't tell me she got me some accessories for my antique hp?"
But upon opening... chey! is a cap!
Scared me.

Changes

Juz realised i belong to the catagory that are resilience to changes.
And high tech gadgets are so scary!

Ready for Xmas loh!

Yeah! i am officially ready for Xmas!

Except for a shipment.
Damn

十月围城

is so damn painfully good!
It’s been a while since I last watched an excellent movie.
Throughout the 138 minutes, it captured my 100% attention.
Almost all casts put up very good performance.
So good that I can feel the emotions they are protraying; be it simple happiness or pain.
王学圻, 梁家辉 were excellent; every subtle facial expression, eye movement or hand gesture is indicative of the experienced actors' skill to bring out the intricate personality of their character. 谢霆锋 & 甄子丹 also proven they are more than just eye-candy idol & martial artist respectively; newbies 李宇春 & 王柏杰 did fairly good too. Dawn天王 served as a comical relief for this otherwise heavy plot of blood and deaths.

But of coz I can’t say there are no loopholes, but it is really insignificant given the excellent work presented.For e.g. giving the full understanding of the risks Dr. Sun had to go through, why did he still choose to come HK at this date & venue? Can’t u change the venue or secretly plan another date to meet?

Nevertheless, this movie is not about how great Dr. Sun is.
Neither is it an action packed film where its all just fights. In fact, u don’t see overloaded of Donnie Yan flanting his martial arts.
The director takes his time to develop each characters, position them carefully within a clear historical context & fully explore their intricate web of relationship to each other, before the bloody carnage.
And when all these 小咔们 (not in reel life but in the script) come together and sacrifice themselves as patriotic bodyguards who go all out to protect the Dr. Sun; the end result is equation to this highly recommended movie.
Remember i was saying it was painfully good?
Cause u can practically feel their pain while watching.
And this is call good acting.

Definitely worth every cents & time to watch.
i know it because almost everyone around me were praising or discussing it right after watching it last night.
A 4.8/5 stars work.

又悲又喜

*wail*
no more Friday off day from next year onwards.
And they are deducting our AL as off day for CNY.
Contradicting feeling now.
On one hand, can have full salary going forward.
But on the other hand, we have to work full months now.

Virgin try

Today, i
Experienced my first time house viewing.
(not with jt, don't think too much. was done with a gf who is doing house shopping)
Totally fun & eye-opening experience!

Did my first online shopping.
And i did everything myself this time.
Not tell my sis what i want and she helped me order.
Totally addictive. Sinful.

he is coming. . .

The season for giving is here again!
In preparation mode now.

Partly completed

A huge chunk of my work has been more or less completed.
A project that took me nearly 9months!

Hopefully as this project comes to an end, the hectic work of mine ends too.

Today, someone was going round introducing some newbies to me and classmates.
Thereafter, i turned to oyster shinny and asked: hmm when will i be intro to my new classmates too uh?
To which she replied: When u found your new school loh! U haven't even start searching for new school, don't even say whether they want to accept u as new student anot lah!
lolx
