Monday, December 27, 2010

Haven't been blogging for the longest times.. It's like, I'm already spending so much time on the computer at work, sometimes I just don't want to turn on another computer at home.. I'm perfectly contented to laze around in the living room watching TV. That's why we subscribe to cable TV right? ;p

Couch potatoes aside, work beginning to ease up a bit for now, no longer handling dual portfolios so it's a bit better. Or maybe it's just the year end lull haha!
But nonetheless, there's always something to whine about at work, and here's mine- Jan 8 & 9 (Sat & Sun) are working days for me! BAH!!!!! Can't even have a peaceful weekend start to the year! BAHHHH!!

Anyways. 2010 coming to an end, maybe it's time to do a "year in review" thing!

Hmmmm. This year passed by soooo quickly!

Jan- Bainie seriously preparing to leave for HK! Life suddenly felt a bit strange knowing I'm gonna miss her so much!

Feb- CNY makes a pretty busy month even shorter.. This yr CNY coincided with Vday so amongst the midst of CNY visiting, I also didn't notice the hooha that is Vday haha..

Mar- Bainie asked me along for dinner and drinks with some of her NTU frens, that, I believe, is how it all started...

Apr- My very first live F1 raceday in KL! Fabulous weekend getaway in KL- staying at the Ritz, fine dining at the Marriott plus after-dinner party, tix at the K1 turn for the Sepang Grand Prix! What a weekend!

May- Booked tix for HK in Aug, HK (and Bain & Fred here we come!)

June- All is well again! Ready to tackle 2nd half of the year..

July- Decided to take the Constantly Freaking Agony in Dec! Sheesh!! And finally decided on where to go for compliance leave!

Aug- HK trip! Omg spent alot, eat alot, laugh alot! Thanks Bain & Fred for hosting us! Lots of shopping, hunting for egg tarts and old-school cha chan teng in Macau, overdosing on mango desserts in Hui Lau Shan!

Sep- Block leave! 2 week perfect getaway to Siem Reap - Phnom Penh - Bangkok - Krabi.. Finally got to see Angkor Wat (fabulous), cheap buys in Bkk, relaxing massages and overdosing on pad thai and watermelon shake and Singha beer wherever we went!

Oct- Buried at work.. Moved from Credit products to Derivatives and exotics, tight timeline to learn and teach, much work to do. But important thing is, it's overrrr. Haha! Plus, started golf classes again! Time to really earn that PC hahaha..

Nov- Bday month! Love the big bouquet of red roses and the messenger! Then the rest of the month was spent in a hazy blur of books, calculators and "5-min naps" =S

Dec- Constantly Freaking Agony on 1st Sunday of Dec. Whatever, it's overrrr! Life resumes! Lazy weekends, prawning, shopping, eating, finally meeting with friends again.. Christmas shopping! Giving and receiving gifts (got some fantastic ones these yr from my colleagues).
Xmas eve- Dinner at Yvonne's place! Turnout was great- Yv & Mac & Joyce (of cos), Huiying, Pearlyn, Jingle & me, even some JC pals I haven't seen in a long time- Jingzhong, Clarence, Darius!
Xmas day- Sleep in, lazed around watching some really interesting cable tv (haha), then annual family KTV session at nite, was Awesome!
And a mention- Loveliest xmas gift e-v-e-r! Thanks dear!

Ok so that's it, what a year it has been! Freaking tremendous.. Not been updating a lot cos was simply too busy with many things- life, work, study.. I'll try to update more in 2011!
Meanwhile, I finally found some time to go for pilates class this afternoon- my 1st class in 2 months! 2 months!! No wonder my arms and thighs and calves and what little muscle I had turned flabby! Time to up the core conditioning and the running and the yoga!!

That's all for now, check back again another time!
And just in case this happens to be my last post of 2010, here's wishing u a great end to the year and the best of starts to the new year!
