ReCap on 2009....

2009 finally ended, thought of making a short recap. it was a memorable year with lots of ups and downs, i think it was one of de most depressing year ever...
perhaps i'll never forget this yr..never been down so jialat before...went thru such a depressed period i almost went crazy, thank god for de lovely ppl i''d ard me at the point in time...

let's take a look..

1)I started de Year being single and it'd effectively broke the record for de past many yrs where i was never single for more than 2 mths...

2)SY got married!: de first in our de Zhus clique to get hitched...

more details on de actual day can be found in this link

3) my 1st Prosperity night with Canon

4) my 1st V-day being single... (ever since i started dating)

and then as usual, it was spent at lunar...

5) Started hanging out at Lunar very often...de only place where i'd feel that i'd a life at the point in time

6) Did my first hair extensions

chioz rite, sorta miss de long tresses

7) my first IT show in Canon

a steamboat session after de show to reward my promoters for the good job done..

8) and then i stopped blogging for 4 mths from Apr - Aug cos i was so utterly depressed.

Papa was admitted to hospital in June, thru out we were being put on an emotional roller coaster ride and it is wearing us off, to-date mama is still going to de hospital to visit him everyday.
Work was bad, i slacked too much in work and i got buttered almost every other day.
i felt so lost and depressed, de day i left Asiapac, i've lost a life, ppl i once called friends.
i lost so much faith in humans i refused to share with any1 wat i was going through, i tried so hard to put on a happy front, but it made me felt alot worse.
i cried myself to slp so very often out of no reason at all

life at work was that terrible that i eventually broke down in office, i was crying for god knows how long in the toilet that someone i called Bro have to get a Pandy to dragged me out and drive me out of the vicinity.

9) with de help of de many ppl who really cared, life eventually got better
i finally extended my tattoo ..

10) for de 1st time in my life, someone actually Threw a Bday Celebration for me. in hope to cheer me up i guess. deeply appreciated it...

well u dun have to guess where this place is, de ans was obvious..lol

11) went to watch F1 for the first time..like without a choice

12) my 1st time to Macau & Zhuhai - our Canon dept trip

13)a trip to Japan with some close colleagues. never stayed in tokyo for so long...

14) i became Emcee twice for 2 weddings in de same year..Zzzzz...i've de Emcee face is it?

15) de first time lil apple really had an accident, i went to kiss anor car's backside...

16) i felt really sick for a long time, never ever feel so sick and xinku before...

17) had my very first surgery ever....(de hospital's bed was ultra comfy though..lol)

18) twds de end of de yr, finally met someone new

19) watched my very first 3D movieeeeee

20) finally bought de aircon system for de family & a new TV to replace our old bulky CRT tv...=___=

and then i realised i did not make any new yr resolutions for 2009. i shall let 2010 follow suit, let nature take its course so....there won't be any resolutions for this year..
other then to lose more weight...=p

it's only when we lost or almost lose something dear to us that we'd realised its importance

it was only when i felt that i've really pissed him off that i realised his importance to me...
never will i know that it will have such an impact on me de whole morning...even lokey buddy could tell something is wrong...- ya la i spilled my drink all over my table and laptop while talking abt it...=___=

putting my clumsiness aside, that was when i realised, how afraid i actually was to lose what i have.....

forgive me for losing my patience...i was juz afraid to lose u....

de importance of feeling secure

i think it's vital to everyone especially for gers...
nobody likes to lead a life feeling insecure most of the time, having to worry about this and that..we already have enough worries in life.

i hate to be feeling like this, but i can't help it at times...i was so very afraid...so very afraid to go through the same thing or to go through something even worse.

i'm very uncomfortable with the current situation, things have to change......

Xmas Evening @ Bro's

being de usual nothing else to do...spent my xmas evening at bro's place together with mama n the in-laws family...

alot of things happened recently...i'm not gona go into details but well, de good thing is, all is over..

there was so much to go thru during that very short period, lots of emotional changes, my mood & temperaments changed at such a speed none has seen before. ( n u guyz used to think mine was bad enuff..=p)

like i say, no one will truly understand how u feel unless one has went through the exact same situation, lucky me, i'd a very lucky someone who fully understand and stood by me thru out...thanks gal..love u so much...

to those i've neglected unintentionally, sorry juz feel like hibernating in my own world and i can't really be out enjoying dinner, coffee etc like before during that time..

finally the busy, hectic week is all over..
and best of all, i'm done with my Harvey's Retreat Presentation, a huge load off!

this week was a terrible one..

Wed = product launch
thurs = display incentive
fri = harvey retreat...
sat - F1 get together

and all these amidst the fact that we have to give out mooncakes and damn i've more than 20 to distribute, moreoever it's MONTH END! the most stressful period of the month..

my mood's better, being busy helps...let me just post some shots of the events that took place..


we sponsored Brawn GP for the F1, as such we'd the honour to have the drivers' presence four our product launch..

and yea, that's Jenson Button

de people i work with from Ingram (these are just really a few of them)
still, thank you guyz for coming and showing so much support! =)





Canon staff with our Brawn GP t shirt

we'd a simulator for our guests to get their hands on...

what's F1 w/o de babes man.

our SOHO team =)

lil apple had an accident, i went to kissed anor car's backside..
and i see it coming..just a matter of time..

too many too close-to accidents lately...haven';t been focusing on driving....
hopefully this expensive lesson will knock some sense into me..

De Face behind De Mask

Mamee ronson once said i always have de dreamy eyes look....maybe i always appeared to be day dreaming..that is true...sm1 else always ask..''你又再想东西！！" - in a reprimanding order.

i like to appear bubbly & cheerful, sometimes i do it so well that i really made myself believe that i really am happy...self contentment..=)

but it seems like i'm losing my skills, ppl start to see thru me and there're those who knows that deep down i was a unhappy unit...

sorry, it's not that i dun want to talk or share with any1 but there's nothing to talk about...

i'm in search of my happiness too! and for the time being, staying positive and putting a smile on de face is still the way to go~!!

on a lighter note, thanks to all de sweeties who sees de face behind de smile & surprises me with de lil sweet stuffs to brighten up my day..

mini chup chups frm sweety pandy! she passed it to me when we're like busy packing de printer for Comex show..lolx pleasant surprise!!

and then i've cheesecake from nectarie on Sat Nite....i'd 3 cakes from nectarie on my bday but then again i only ate one of them and i forgot how it even taste like! =(

thank u mr. u know who..de words are meaningful and i'll try to abide by that instead of sitting and waiting for things to happen...
