Bye bye 2009….

It’s the last day of 2009 & here I am sitting down trying to recap how the year has been. To sum it up, 2009 has been both a good & bad year for me. But I guess it’s normal as life consists of ups and downs.

The first half of 2009 (and perhaps a few months towards the second half) has been fairly good for me.

1) I sported a new hair-do after having straight hair for the longest time. Change is good & I’ve got mixed reviews of my permed hair… but anyway, I’m going back to straight hair next year

2) I bagged myself a new job down south, in a new environment & industry…..

And with that, I went on a business trip to Bali during my second week - being a total newbie, it was nerve-wrecking but fun at the same time! =)

3) I got reacquainted with some of old schoolmates whom I haven’t met since we finished Form 5. It was great to have the occasional gatherings just to catch up since we’re all working down south.

4) The endless makan-makan outings with my girlfriends/friends/colleagues - be it to celebrate someone’s birthday or just a gathering.

5) I discovered a “treasure”, my favourite & must-visit place each time I’m in KL. I *heart* this “treasure” so much! Look at the goodies I’ve got recently! <3

6) I went to my first-ever fashion bazaar with my zhi mui, Angie…and finally got to meet Jezmine, the super lovely owner of Old Blossom Box store.

7) The much awaited “all gals” trip to Bangkok in October, what a blast we all had! =D

And now onto the not-so-good of 2009…

1) Changes in the office in the second half of the year has left me unhappy
2) Getting ‘chased out’ by my land lady & having to find a new place to move into
3) The passing of a relative & many talented people i.e Michael Jackson, Stephen Gately, Brittany Murphy. May you all R.I.P.
4) I turned a quarter of a century old….boo hoo! As much as I would like to be in denial but I have to admit I am indeed getting older and it scares me. There’s just so much more to think about now as I grow older & I honestly hope I am able to cope.

So therefore, I’m feeling half-hearted to usher in the New Year as the year ahead seems so ….. unpredictable & a lil’ bleak maybe. *sigh*

Having said that, I wish all of you Happy New Year & here’s to a better year ahead in 2010 (hopefully)! May God bless us all….
