As year 2007 ending soon, and hello 2008 in approximately in a few days, I guess its time to recap on what has happened on 2007 And it’s going to be a lengthy entry.
General
Year 2007 in general was a good year; It started with meeting up with Robin, Kif, and Jacky (Joseph & Wilson were known later part of the year), clubbing during Chinese New Year Eve, and also ending a 3 month affair (I guess it didn’t survive the 3 month honey moon period so its better to label it as an affair) in February, reason? Differ of personalities… ?!!
Then followed by first tattoo on the chest in March, which was to remind myself that I should adapt a new attitude of “I should not look back”, and not by clinging to the past. At the same month, lost a friend, but not as in the person has died but also over some trivial matters and we have stopped talking.
In April, done my second tattoo on the arm, this was to remind myself that I’m who I’m and should progress in life as what my Chinese name mean “进展”. Sometimes I gone astray.
Did my first sub-paper in May – “Principle of Management”, and grateful that I made it into the 3rd semester.
July was a party month, started partying like there was no tomorrow, and my first maiden trip to St. James and there was the taking off shirt thingy while dancing on the platform. Wild isn’t it! Guess I have changed. Lost another friend who I have known for 17 years, not as she has died also but due to some heat exchange of SMS (I guess people comes in your life and left you)
Nothing much happened for August and September, but in October, I joined dragonboat, it was truly an experience which I will be continuing next year but not for the competition for sure as was totally disgusted by the way things organized.
At work, those buildings that I was managing were scheduled for re-development by next year. A lot of rages and unhappiness from the tenants since July, as usual, I was the ‘comfort man’ to go around explaining and listening to their grievance.
I did my first voluntarily work with the intelligence disable children in November, organized by my company, hell it was a great experience. And was interviewed by the organizer from the charity, sadly till now have not seen the article yet.
Did my sub papers for my Principle of Marketing and Managerial Accounting, I guess whichever started with “Principle of something, something”, I’m also cursed that I will re-do again. I do not think that I have done well even for the sub-papers, and the chances of re-doing the subjects in next semester are high.
Well, the result will be out on 28 December 07, by then I will have a clearer picture how should I go about. Quitter or Stayer?
Drinking session started on the eve of Hari Raya Haji, after a break for 2 months plus as dragonboat trainings were so tiring that I have stopped drinking and clubbing. And there I was the usual self, drunk, tongue kissed and gone! Haha.. Wild and slutty!
Celebrate Christmas at Joseph’s place with wonderful friends and food, indulge myself with foods and a lot of alcohol again. It was a well spent and relaxing evening. Thank you, Joseph!
Health
Health was average, the usual flu and stomach problem other than that everything seen fine, did 2 blood tests and one full body check up in year 2007.
I realized that after the dengue fever in year 2006, the destructive virus has wrecked the body even after recovery; catching common colds were so “trouble-free” these days.
Stomach problem still persist, but I guess it comes with age. Too oily or spicy, you will find me going to the toilet more than the routine, so I have to forgo my favorite – chicken rice! Stress is also another contributing factor.
The increase and decrease of weight were freaking me out, now I’m weighting 58kg after stop taking the mass-gainer due to the stomach problem. Need to put on weight. Any suggestion is welcome!
Career
Career, should I call it career? Anyway, it was a good year at work, 5 months personal bonus, salary adjustments and promotion in grade, everything was good except the usual ‘political’ atmosphere in the office, which flying daggers and arrows were unavoidable and my back was bleeding without knowing. And my inner beast (meow) was released to “scratch” some managerial level personal and some other staff in this year. (Meow Mewo… hehe)
Wealth
Nothing much but in deficit situation, hopefully next year will be better.
Love
Nothing much also, were dating but didn’t turn out well so have to forgo. I guess after being alone for a while, I started to have phobia towards commitment. Initially it would be nice to be cared and shower with concern, but after a while, I’m going through the ‘breathless’ and ‘withdrawn’ stage that I need my personal space. (One of the symptoms for men in 30s.. I think).
Family & Friends
Family bonding is stronger, and there was improvement on the stained relationship between my old man and myself. Well the old man has changed a lot since Sis got married, and the birth of two nephews.
And there were also the few occasions when mum did hints about marriage and even suggest of meeting up with some nice girls, arrangement by those ‘aunties from market’ and our good neighbor. *Faint* even my relatives from Malaysia who come all the way from Johor did not spare me on that subject. *Double faint*. Well mum knows me well, and will try to avoid this topic but once in a while the hinting will arise.
I also come out the truth to my sister and brother-in-law in January, thanks to that that bloody gossiper from my brother-in-law’s family, which I cursed that he will be fatter and surprising it has come truth. He is getting fatter! Haha… (Evil Laugh)
As for friends, some goes, some come into the life as mentioned under the general section. Thankfully, those come into my life are more than those that I have lost, truly felt disappointed on those friendship for years that have come to an end.
Conclusion
Summarizing the whole year, it was an eventful year and I truly enjoyed it, grateful to my friends, Linda, Robin, Joseph and Andrew, kif, Terence (Japan), Ben Foo(Sydney), Keith (Perth) and Jenny, Thomas and many more.
Thank you for being there when I need you most.
