I started the year welcoming the most awaited baby girl,
KEISHA, spawn of my bestest friend, on 4 Jan. Its almost a year since she's born and I have met her like 4 times. Just as often as I met the parent before she came into this world. *LOL* Words can't describe how estatic I was to hold her in my arms. Felt a lil' weird too cos' one of us are having one of those, you know?
I got me a
HOLGA 120N - like FINALLY! Hahaha... got it from an LJ spree at quite a bargain. Clifford got it too and we went out almost immediately to deflower the toy with our first roll ever. Never been happier with the result. I turned into an addict for a while... well, at least mine lasted longer than his :)
I had attended the grandest wedding of a colleague who's with child :P. I'm awed by the bling factor in the ballroom and the food ain't that fantastic. In fact the whole thing would have blow if not for the wonderful companion I had.
I got my uber famous corneal ulcer AGAIN right on the day that only exist once only 4 years! It was a traumatising experience for me this time as on my usual trips to the eye doctor I witnessed a fatal bike accident till now is still fresh on my mind. It freaks me out whenever I'm bypassing that stretch of road. Likely to say, I'm gonna be avoiding that road for the rest of my life!
I went on 2 may-jah trip to Perhentian, Malaysia and Khao Lak, Thailand. Didn't waste that much of money but they're both an experience I will never forget; good or bad :) Would I wanna go to these places again? Maybe, sure? Hmm... I'll think about it... I sure do miss island life :(
I had one hell of a TV Schedule that doesn't involve me switching on the television *oops*. Awesome new shows like Privileged, 90210, Valentine and I do hope there's more to come cos' right now it's pretty "off-peak" with the good shows.
I got my long awaited promotion but that didn't last very long, thanks to the merger of my company and the parent company, I got 'demoted' but I get to retain my paycheck and past benefits... *roll eyes*. It was a testing period for me and my colleagues. I wasn't the only one who was affected. I had fun while I was taking on the new role - as stressful as it may be, I had never felt more satisfied with my work and performance!
2008 was the year I observe the most contagious virus spreading through the inter-web that is FACEBOOK. No one goes a day without logging in and playing at least 1 game in there. FACEBOOK is the best thing since MySpace. Speaking of which, any idea why MySpace account is in Espanyol?
1 word -
SINGFEST. Painful but worth every sweat tears and blood :)
We had our first Dinner & Dance at Raffles Country Club combined with the parent company. So it was uber crowded but we manage to have some fun of our own. Everyone dress their best and I spent most of my time bear the bar, for obvious reasons. The food was so-so and the crowd was dizzying. I hung around people I'm familiar with, I'm comfortable with... those who cared for me... *LOL*
WTF!
I drank a lot in 2008. For the good times and the bad times they say?
I had a couple of photography outings with the colleagues and I've never seen better photos of me like ever!
Most important of all that happened in 2008 is that I wasn't as religious in updating my blog as I would like to. So... here's to a brand new year, a brand new start in 2009... CHEERS!
