There are 21 days left in this year, we're 95% done with 2009! so what have we done this year?
In January, we looked forward to returning to Singapore in February. Emailed everyone we could think of to set up back-to-back get-togethers. (excitement)
In February, we went back to Singapore, and went through health checks, dental appointments, hair and facial appointments, mahjong sessions, meals after meals of so delicious food... we even attempted to swim every day but that was thwarted. brought chewy to the vet for her annual jab and dental scaling. she also had a super cute lion's head hair cut. oh! and we went to wild rocket for valentine's. not to mention shopping in Bangkok!!! (happiness)
In March, I began my plough through the materials for Exams 3L and 3F. =(
In April, we said goodbye, adios and hasta la vista to Francis and Carmen, who went back to Hong Kong. (sigh, we've been abandoned again!) my sister has abandoned me....
In May, it was time to take those exams, which was kinda nerve-wrecking. But after, we took a break to Lisbon, which was darn nice - very inexpensive and totally beautiful. Oh, and i also left my job at the hospital and started at this reinsurance firm. (nervous then relaxed)
In June, hao-e bought me 2 Lesportsac bags for my birthday - i heart lesportsac. i'm 28 and no where near state of "successful".
In July, I started ploughing through material for Exam 4. (eee....) Torty our 11 year old car was sent to the mechanics to prepare for the annual re-licensing "exercise". The couch was also professionally cleaned. At the end of July, there was a possiblity of a Singaporean being hired at Orbis.
In August, I started on this current job in a Japanese reinsurance firm, all very new and exciting.
In September, we celebrated Hao-e's 30th at Harbourfront with Joseph and Colin. I also started going for ballet lessons every wednesday evening. took a long time finding my leotards and tights from the back of the closet. Iannis arrived. Booked tickets to return to Singapore in January 2010!!
In October, we returned to California!! Ate and ate and ate. cold crab sashimi, korean style, has discovered me. salivate. Miami's seafood was to die for as well. Oh! and the shopping. outlet shopping!! can faint. (happiness)
In November, Patrick and Michelle and Sophie arrived. I started working 10-12 hour days. Xinyi arrived! temperature was unseasonably warm. no mood for christmas yet.
In December, I'm still working 9-10 hour days. Iannis left. No cold weather yet, which is sad. It's bloody 24 degs now. wondering where's winter?? planning christmas parties, new year's parties. Textbooks for Exam 5 have arrived. gulp! Kinda looking forward to trip back to Singapore next month.
