Kiwi is me!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVRONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

The question dat was posted to me in year 2008 is how do i feel about year 2008. My answer is “damn it”. Ahaha.. Its not that something bad has been, its just dat it has been another year past without any much changes to my life. I dono how many friends will feel dat another year has past without careful thoughts and well cherish, but i hereby wishes all my friend a fruitful year 2009, don let another year be wasted, plan, work hard and receive the positive results.

Thinking back in year 2008 what I’ve been through, hmmm.. In January, we receive the announcement about the restructuring of our client’s operation, and our jobs will be affected. I remember that day that i received the news, on the same night we went to Siew Khim’s dad funeral. Time flies and it has already been 1 year le. I’m glad to see her getting on with her life well now. =)

Then some of us proceed on to the new project while the rest leave and find a new opportunity outside. To be seperated from such a great working team is really painful. Therefore it has made accepting the new project difficult too cause i have prob letting go. Starting from the new project till now is already 6 months le, we have more or less get use to it le, occassionally still can “eat snake” a while so still not too bad.

In year 2008 I started playing Viwawa. Ahaha.. This website has keep us occupied during the later part of the restructuring when our jobs have been taken over. It almost become a whole department exercise. Even ppl who dono how to play mahjong learn during dat period. Ahaha.. 苦中作乐. Went to Taiwan for the first time with Meiling and Siling. Its a great company as both of them knows Taiwan pretty well. I also started taking my ACCA this year. On and off i still do feel lost as in why do i want to take this. But i knew that i need to to at least have a more secure future. If u ask me what do i really wanna do, since primary 6 it has never change before, “to be Sammi cheng’s manager”. Hahah..

I’m thankful to all my friends who has made the last 2 weeks of 2008 a fun and enjoyable one. 20 Dec we have a gathering cum Christmas party with the old team. Its really happy to be able to catch up with the team again. The atmosphere is amiable. On Christmas eve e vb gals booked a room in OCC to countdown together. We played some games, went outside of this coffeehouse to countdown with the party inside. The later part of the nite is filled with BGR discusssion. Hahaha.. Christmas itself I went to celebrate with Jing and gang at LS house. Very happy to be able to eat alot of food. Ahaha.. Because after LS house we went to QIn’s house to have steamboat. Wooh.. Very thank you to Auntie’s kind hospitality. She really prepare alot of food to make sure we have enough to eat. On 26 we have BBQ with the same gang plus Zhihao, Joe, Ah lay, Sihui and etc. Yeah alot of food again.. Hohoho..Though i feel very grouchy due to lack of sleep but glad to say i still enjoy myself. And thanks for all the Christmas presents that I have received this year. As usual i don have much chance with food but i like all the presents I have received. THANK YOU!!!!

Yesterday went to watch fireworks with Jing, Ling, Xin li and Felicia. Its not the first time i went to watch, but this time round is the first time i really feel dat its very beautiful and captivating. Maybe because this is the first time i sit down to watch? I really dono. I feel fireworks is such an amazing product. Each time it shoots up, it feels like its gg to get you. The feeling is like “so near but yet so far”. Esp the ending part when the fireworks continously shot up and each one is like getting nearer and nearer to me. All i could do is “wow” and stare at it. Maybe starting from year 2009, I’m a fireworks fan now. Ahaha.. We all made a pact to return this year end to watch again, don forget ya. Heez..

This is the time wen we set resolution again. Evrone THINK!!

Yesterday when i went to the client’s place, feel a little affected ba. They are gg through some kind of restructuring and alot of ppl have left.

Though leaving is depressing in this kinda economy but i can feel that ppl who are still around wouldnt feel much better. I saw this scene just now in the office where this man bid his colleagues goodbye in 3 consecutive weeks. He changes from a big room to small room, sending them off one by one, he seems to feel quite helpless about the situation. I understand because i been through this just this year and i detest the tot about gg back to the same office but with different colleagues. Maybe my feelings are more extreme ba, but anyway i got through it because i realise being angry at something that could not change the reality is pretty dumb. And human needs to adapt to changes. This is the reality this is the real world.

But still evrtime i heard of retrenchment, even if it happens in other companies, i feel depressed. Initially i tot its because of my own experience, it still matters more or less but i guess the main reason is because I’m still not ready to face the fact that i still do not possess the strength to keep up with the deteriorating economy and upcoming competition. If one day i leave my company, how confident am i to say dat i can survive? I really dono. Its not dat my company is really dat great though.  现实是残酷的，我不想面对。。

ANyway tml gg to have bbq with the old team. Yea, at least something to look forward during the weekend. Some couldnt make it but at least most did. Anyway I’m finally gg to utilize my swimsuit le. But still feel a little shy. See how it goes ba. May this swimsuit not fated to be wear. Or mayb i shd just save it to my next Taiwan trip when i finally can go hot spring. Ahaha..

Shall update soon.
