My life since September

Here, let me make up for wad i've lost and i dun want these period to be empty when i look back a few years later.

Since my very last update on Ruth and Hui Ge's wedding, I also attended BT Kor's wedding before i set off for France. Really got a lot of weddings this year and I tried to attend those when I'm available for it.

BT kor's wedding was a good gathering with some of the oldest OHS peeps back then. You know, OHS was a big part of my life, growing up there really thought me a lot. I picked up a lot of things from there and a lot of great people I met. 

And then it was roughly 2 weeks in Paris. I was really sick before we set off for the trip and it didn't help when it was so damn cold there. The 15 hours flight kind of shortened to say 8 hours because half the time, i was in concussion mode, after drinking 10ml worth of cough syrup, fever pills, flu pills and headache pills. A heat pad was on my stomach through the entire flight.

I must say, that rest onboard really helped me recover from the 1 week long sickness.

And then it was work and Paris and the strike. :(



After my return from Paris, I had a busy 2 weeks dealing with local show and some loose ends for the coming trip. And then, i took off to Shanghai again while my colleague took off right away to Macau. The journey to Shanghai was really vague, I didn't get the best seat and I had be to squeezed with minimal space and again, I slept through it coz i was so freaking lack of sleep!

Most of the time, I was by myself. I didn't walk on my own too much, but was glad i had the company of a few bosses during one of the nights, contractor took me to dinner, organiser also took me to dinner, and the rest of it, i was by myself, in my hotel room, watching HBO (thank god there's HBO and MTV). Opps! I did walk on my own a bit near the hotel, shopping in the supermarket. HA!!!





Didn't get picture of Hui Ge, we took the same flight back from Shanghai, he came to pick me up coz his company allows him to hire a chauffeur and the few hours flight was shortened with him chatting with me, and the 2 hour long movie "3 idiots" made me laugh and cry.

I guess the happiest part of this trip was, I came home happy. My girls; Ting and Hui, gave me a HUGE surprise popping up at the airport during my arrival and my darling came to pick me up too.

I took a day off and rested after this chaotic 2 trips.

Went to a Burmese restaurant with Darling for a good treat.

Then it was Steven's BD. Can't believe how fast time flies. I still feel so new in this association but its already been a year.
In between, somewhere, Darling bought his new bike.
We had our annual Asia Pacific Food Expo, and i'm telling you, it was a dramatic year. There's no more senior to look up to, we're on our own and i can say, i'm on my own. Half hearted in all the things i've done, i have to admit i'm really bad at multi tasking. The overseas shows drove me almost mad and concurrently dealing with the local show, i was nearly out of breath but i'm glad i didn't have to take charge of too many things. But its times like these that i hope Feliz and Jesscy were around to guide me through but that's no longer possible.


The show ended dramatically too.

On the Sunday after the show ended, its the BIG walk from Marang trail to Hort park organized by the association. It was a little bit scary being involved in the Ops but i'm glad i pulled through safely.



Knowing my busy schedule at work and i admit i've been giving time only to my boyfriend and my family, i neglected my friends. And I tried to organize a meet up finally, after everything settled down a little 1 week before Christmas. Its been 1 million years!!!!



I went out with mama one of the Wednesday knowing ya, i haven't been going out with her for a while. It was a day long of shopping with her in Chinatown and then we went to Darling's shop and I gave mama a good hair wash. Hee~~~~
Met up with my Aiai last week too. Our always simple catch-ups together. :)
 Then with my baby forever.
Wedding lunch of Mr Wong's son, our entire association were instructed to arrive on time.

My day ended on 26 Dec with my lovely boyfriend.

Today, its 28 Dec 10. 2010 is coming to an end. Its been a really swift year. I never thought I would travel so much in a year, 8 times, that about 3/4 of the year. I really really appreciate everything i've learnt so far at work, its really an eye opener.

My relationship with Eddie has been really rocky this year, I don't know how many people actually knows but i tried to keep it well. I guess his shop and my work contributed to all the unnecessary fights, but we're trying. We know we still love each other... Very much. And soon, its time for us to settle down. Old enough? I think so. :)

And I guess 2011 will be a much much better year, extremely good year.

PS: I can't help thinking about what the Tarot card reader said about my life during our last CNY luncheon. It was casual but it seems like, everything she said, is slowly revealing. This is scary...
