Exactly a year ago....

you left us. I've probably shed more tears this year than my post-childhood years all added up. I went through today with the slightest fear of another bad news. But, I'll get to celebrate the new year this time with much joy and comfort in knowing my family and friends are well! Missing you always, love.

Reflection of 2008
January
Toughest start to a new year, losing my grandma. Tasted Bangkok Jazz's superb tom yam for the first time.

February
Celebrated my 24th birthday in Cameron Highlands. Road trips are always best given the good food along the way:)
March
What a night in Luna Bar, reunited with my best ever buddies, 5 people played the number game but 1 person finished half the bottle! lol
April
Had my first white water rafting experience with great company and the night in Cameron where we found out how kiasu the girls were, even in a game of Monopoly :p Bought over my brother's car and got banged by a motorcyclist 2 weeks later.
May
Planted a few trees for the first time. Tasted real good sharks fin and expensive chinese cuisine in Noble House.

June
Hiked Bukit Melawati for the first time. Revisited JB and Singapore with the BTAs.

July
Celebrated graduation from the BTA programme which came with a promotion and a new role. Experienced cooking for the first time in a teambuilding.

August
Flew to Langkawi for a good weekend getaway. Company trip to save the turtles in Terengganu.

September
Attended a church wedding for the first time. Flew business class for the first time, all the way to London, best ever city I've visited. Loved the weather, the people, the work and everything really! Touched down and flew to Bangkok the following day for our 2nd anniversary!

October
New role again, had to be away from Boleh-land for 6 weeks. Spent 3 weeks in Guildford, UK over sandwich lunches. Visited Emirates Stadium and Old Trafford for the first time!

November
Thank god for the proper lunches again in Lisbon and Hamburg! Visited Berlin and experienced snow for the first time.

December
Participated in Penang Food Hunt with best buddies and girlfriend. Weekend getaway to Tioman for the first time. Certified a Six Sigma Green Belt.
All in all, an eventful and fruitful year. So many firsts and so many wonderful experiences both in work and life. Now, the 2009 resolution!
1. Gain and build on experience from current role
2. Get the damn 6-pack and be slightly built!
3. Visit more holiday destinations
4. Watch a football match, preferably in Old Trafford:)
