2006 in reflection. [late submission.]

this is a long-overdue new year's eve retrospection post.. which confirms the fact that yet another new year's resolution from last year didnt make it: the one where i said i'd stop procrastinating.

so, about five days late, here i am. another year's come and passed. feeling a bit older loh, honestly. gonne be hitting the big 2-0's in three months and six days. o_O three months and six days left of being able to get excused for immaturity! ohno. =(

2006.

god. i really dont know where to start. right now all i'm feeling is that the year passed too fast; and everything that happened.. it was as if they were meant to happen like how they did. like it was all part of the plan. i dont quite know how to put it into words (i swear, my english has been slowly getting out of whack too) but yeah. to put it simply, it's like it was all meant to be.


so. the routine highlights of the year.

this time last year, i was still doing that stint in cnbc asia. just this morning i was channel surfing and happened across the market watch and i went all nostalgic. the days of piecing together bits of the morning news with my producer adeline for the afternoon mobile-on-demand section. waching dr yeo editing on awesome AVID that i would so love to get my hands on.. *sigh.


last glance back before stepping into the lift.
inset: workstation in the distribution office.

and a year later here i am no better than a bum on his lousiest day. then again, i asked for it. heheh.. promised myself to have this last bum holiday before everything ahead. before LIFE. i know i wont have time like this in the future to waste anymore, which is why i decided to use this time to be back home just chilling my dearest and closest. after this, it'd be back to uni.. then perth.. then possibly work. eeks. i know i wont have a chance like this anymore.. so this is perfect for now. altho i know i keep complaining! haha.. but yeah. i digress. that bit of work in cnbc was great; and it's making me long for so much more! cantwaitcantwait.

THEN. darling debs came all the way from indo to miri and we met up in kuching as i was returning home on transit from singapore. it was SO GOOD to see her again and i swear, i've never had a shorter plane ride! hahah.. catching up on all those missed months.. then bringing debs around miri with chiamie.. having rojak and chendol.. super cheese prawn.. tiramisu cake at marriott! heehee. good times spent just chilling.


agh i fckn miss these two crazy women. =(

february came.. back to uni. moved into c-09-05. started my first sem in masscomm degree. late nights with my room door open while the three fashion designers work away into the night.. korean dramas on ntv7 and 8tv.. awesome surprise bday party that chiamie dahlings masterminded *sniff.


cake-faced by tracy. eeks. haha..

i'm still so touched. *tears. OH and the HAIR INCIDENT! woman i dont know if you still remember it HAHA.. if you dont, ask me later and i shall enlighten you. involved hair+curler+many hours. heehee.

mid year. singapore with the family + one kevin lee!


with the two other fuggers.

haha.. then back home bumming on tv, tennis, and losing in ps2 winning eleven o_O kevin scored against me with his GOALIE. wtf. good memories man.. haha. then it was all good.. till chiamie left for texas. =( i've lost my boy-scouting partner, my dahlings, my kepo kaki all at once. i lose someone every semester; and yet there i was thinking i wouldnt be the last to leave. chiamie if you're reading this: I MISS YOU TRUCKLOADS. *tears.


come back come back we go watch rain! =(

then it was back to uni once more.. prima felt so different; so quiet. life just wasnt the same.. but added new 'chi mui' shinki heheh.. new kaki kdrama and rubbishtalk. also more adventures with the girls ie. driving to kl without getting lost and navigating thru all of petaling jaya and kelana jaya! haha.. 'starring' in our first feature film, sumolah. HAHA. funfairs and plays and k-sessions.. shootings and editings ohgod. jiwang sleepovers and bak kut teh and italiannie's. =D hahah.. thinking of it now, i so cant wait to get back. more fun times to come in the year ahead!


missing the retards.

hehe.. but that wasnt all. the best was yet to come, altho it was so late into the semester.. i got to know the nicest, sweetest, most awesome person ever: sajith! haha.. it's crazy. it's not something i can quite put into words, even if my english wasnt out of whack haha. switchfoot's 'you', the soundtrack of 'a lot like love'. lol. the most random things. my twin. =) see i'm even beginning to babble incoherently already.. so yeah. definitely not something i can explain heh. it all happened so late, but well then.. i've always liked saving the best for last anyway =)

sooooo.. the year finally closed on new year's eve with high school sweets over dinner and ushering in the new year with the oldest best friend. perfect. i love you woman. thanks for being there for me thru everything. now.. if you'd only get your ass to kl! heheheheh.. =)

so there ya go. my 2006 in a nutshell.

to say i've grown up this year.. well. i'm not too sure of that. maybe i did, but it's not something too obvious, compared to all the new experiences in 2005 and all that. this year definitely did something, but i guess it's more to the way i have begun thinking than anything else. my perception of things, how i understand things around me.. just that point in life where you realize you may have probably matured - altho DUH! i still dont act it. hehe..

so. here's to everyone out there:

may you all have an awesome year ahead; and accomplish all that you set out to do. huGs to all!

hrms. pretty short post eh this time? heheh.. see you next year!
