Previously.....in 2006...................

Expectation, vision , hope and ambition. That is wht every new year is about. Contemplating at wht had happened the passed year and lessons to be learnt out of it. 2006 was somewhat a mix of ups and downs with many happiness and sadness, disappointments and successes. It has been a rather good year for me with many important decision to be made and good opportunities not to be missed. At the same time, it was the year that I walked out from my life as a nobody to a somebody.


Luck seems to be playing a major role in my life at this moment. From getting a job that I have at the moment to the place I'm living now.......sitting here still can't help feeling how lucky I am to be here. That year, I first got my own car. My very first car that I am super proud of until she got thirsty and I got to fill her up -__-"" She is gorgeous and really very reliable............*oh jeez....I need a gf !!!!* Anyway ...involved in my first accident (previous post) and scared me shitless. First major accident. Got her fixed and everyone are happy again.

Work wise, things been moving along very very rapidly. Days turns to weeks.....weeks sped on to months and before I knew it....it was the end of the year. The last day of the year....i just sat there dazed trying to figure out wht I have done for the pass 12 months. From a grad engineer to a project manager, it all went off in a break neck speed. Many mistakes I have done...stooopid things tht I did....well I have learnt from it and improved myself to be a competitive and reliable person thus earning myself a good reputation and respect among my colleagues. Thanks to Alan, my dept boss and Paul, second in command...soon to be Boss 2...working with them is a blessing and I am very lucky to work with fine people like them. Can't asked for better bosses than them. *salute* Thanks to Alan for his years of experience and expertise and also to Paul for pissing me off half the time and work up my self confidence and polishing my managerial skills. Adam for his companionship both at work and out of the office and specially to my best friend Natalie, for sharing with me her life, friendship and her huge doggie, Dukey....haha. She introduced me to things that I have been looking for all this while in UK. English culture and lifestyle, lovely countryside......I love dogs...hence spoil Dukey to pieces.....and sharing an interest for cars.....fast cars....Woot.... =D . She is the one that found this great studio house in a really nice countryside in Eastleigh and got me out from that crummy windowless garage bedroom in Portsmouth. Now I don't have to travel 2 hours each day on the road to work. In fact, she even got me a big ass tv......since I haven't got one.....!!!! Gosh..I owe her big time.

They are really great peeps. I thought I have lost all hope looking for nice peeps....but all are not lost. Oh...I have a doter (not literally) tht I'm really proud and care about a lot.....u know who u r.....and she really bring a lot of cheers in my life. It has been a great blessing knowing u and enjoyed every single moment chatting with u. Looking forward to see u when i'm back in Kch.

Anyway...2006 have been a busy year and can be said to be my first step up the ladder in community. I have ticked almost all the boxes that I have aimed to achieve and felt that it was a proper end to a fantastic year. Tho I'm getting old.......crap.....but hey...I'm a late bloomer....so time goes by slower... *wink*

The Passage Of Time

Thinking back around this time last year, things were definitely bleak and the future looked dark and barren. The prospect of going back to Malaysia, things were half packed, looking through the airplane tickets hoping to find the final trip back to Kuching with no hope of returning back to UK, things were not looking up. A final attempt to press on my luck and hope for the best......the final bunch of mails chucked into the mailbox hoping that this final week of my stay here in UK after 5 years would bring some sort of luck.

2 days later got a response from a company and got hooked up for an interview the same week itself. I was absolutely ecstatic. Receive interview letter on Thurs, went through the interview on Fri and got my permanent staff offer on Sat. Now ...that is a bit freakish. It is God's blessing =) ...2 weeks later I got my 5 years working permit and voila....work away. This coming Nov will be my first year here in my company and many things had happened. Being speed tracked in works and responsibilities ...... it has been a rough and tough year. I haven't really sat down and thought of what have going on through out the year. I still remembers thelast year Christmas party and soon ...it will be this year's Christmas party. Goodness, how time flies.

Finally got my life together, settled down.....found a decent place to live and legs to take me places. Things couldn't be better.Or so it seems. Standard of living have certainly improved ...but thats about it. The search of a companion is still on going and it is already turning pretty annoying when one by one....each of my closest friends either got engaged or married. And I am still here poodling about while time just flew by...and before you know it...you hit the 30 year old marker and start to feel really sorry for yourself. Many people of my age have either been through a few relationships and most have already found their partner for life. Gosh....and I am sitting here moaning about it.....damn sad I tell you. At first it is ok to think ....well..my time is not right yet....or the right person might pop out when you are least expected.. ..all the well wishes from people who got attached
well thanks for the encouragement...but after a few years.....I do started to fret and.....annoyingly...even my lil bro already attached himself to his partner recently and pop a few consolation for me.....ok this is sooooo wrong.....AArrghhhh....

Peer pressure...hehehe....I will not crack under peer pressure ...*mumble mumble* ...haha...well...hopefully this time around ...when going back for CNY....I hope to find someone "interesting" and stop being fussy about what kind of girls I gonna meet....heheheh....but actually I am not all that fussy lar.....not like what "someone" who keep saying that I am...!!!...Honest..!!!...I am so ready to jump into any relationship....wait wait wait.....that is sooo darn desperate... -_- ....hehe....dunno lah....I just plainly dun care about it anymore......die as a vir........choi choi choi.......touch wood.... I am not going there...hehehe

So life goes on....do my usual bit of flirting in the office.... car pooling with ermmmm.....let say the prettiest girl in the office, walk her dog.....hehe...load of eyes and whisper in the office nowadays....haha...and be beaten the shit out by her bf.....LOL...hope not....All I wanna do now is to stop feeling sorry for myself.....low esteem okay......keep my tits up.....errr... wits I mean .... and hope for the best....mana lah tahu bila durian jatuh timpa kelapa.....errr..kepala....

At the moment, I have a really dear friend that keeps my heart beating and another keeping my head running.....hehehe...which I kept close to my heart.....and mind..... =P
Now for pete sake......I better head back home before being labeled as a chronic workaholic. Now become bloody best friend with the security guard.....jeez...something is wrong here...
Cham....well..thats that....it has been a long time since I last blogged......well...nuttin worth blogging.....well..there are something worth blogging but I might loose my only reader ...and I certainly dun wanna do that.....hehehe....till then au revoir....!!!!!....until next time.....................................
