Let’s have recap of my 2008.

In fact, the year didn't start off very well.

1st of January. On the way up Genting.

Both 731 injured pretty badly.

Other than that, things went pretty well plus tons of first experience.

One of biggest achievements, graduated. :)
Managed to leave Taylor’s for good.

Visited my Uni in Sydney too!

Congratulation to ALL of us who have graduated this year ;)

Second biggest achievement, joined the big family of PricewaterhouseCooper. :))

Traveled alone to find the best gateway.

It finally happened after much of planning. Utterly awesome.
loves*

Picked up the habit of exercise. It has stopped for a while thou =(

Moved out of the place I’ve slept for 4 years. As wished for a long loooong time!

And did some shifting in Sydney too. Lol.

And certainly oodles of fun.

Backstreet Boys.

Chris Daughtry.

Brendan Fraser.

With the company,

that has been there when I was all alone.

that provide a lot of booze! And comfort. :)
that I call a sayang :)

that I first met but unforgettable.

that I'll be seeing frequently in and out of work place.
"auditors must chill!"
Thank God for meeting bunch of not-so-serious people, yet.

that has never left.

that has certainly been through so much together.

that never let you walk alone.

that I LOVE so much.
that I miss the most now.
"print screen la wei"
"I don't know how to use MAC print screen."
noob! lol.
xoxo*

As a whole, 2008 is one momentous year for me, compared to the previous years. It’s fair that it was both bitter and sweet. I survived through the bad time, losing one I loved during the mid of year, but enjoyed most part of the second half of 2008 despite being jobless for quite some time.

I'm very much looking forward to this day again, hope it'll turn out as much fun. :)

Guess that's it. I could continue but it'd be too much! haha.
I'd love to see your recap too!


til then,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
May all be blessed with a greater year in 2009 :)

BYE and THANKS to 2008.
HELLO 2009!

Awesomely hectic. Total incredible weekend and I’m glad to not end the year anything near to miserable this time around. The best of all is no doubt the company. Completely contented.

Some colleagues and I at Eckywoobee for cheap beers.
And that Tao Master game.. say everything stays there. =x

We didn't manage to have 'nice dinner' like turkey, but Satay Kajang for X'mas dinner!
Sweeeeet~ :D

Shi Ying's crib after Satay.

Nothing special anymore,

up Genting for Starbucks and some 'donation', Friday.

Break of dawn at Cameron Highland, Saturday.

with the usual Fly Bois.

First time to Cameron Highland.

I’ve never knew people actually live there, as in they have houses and facilities like school, bank, and wet market in the morning. My general impression on Cameron is always only those farm farm farm and more strawberry farms, spacious land with beautiful plantation, and some themepark, maybe? I thought it’s like.. Genting. -_- Ok so yes only to the weather, but the town smells so funky where ever we go! Guessed the fertilizers. Impression smashed. =/

On our way back. When GTI met a 'friend'.

Hell of an amazing road trip. We left at 4 in the morning and arrived home again at 4pm.

All burn out.

And of course, the X'mas eve dinner steamboat at Liang's! Thanks for inviting, theStrawberries! (no photos were taken =( )

P/S: Racer Bois, please be extra EXTRA cautious, you know what I mean! LOVES.

ONE.
If your lover betrayed you, how will you react?
* Mad.. like really mad, it upsets me. I wouldn't wish you well in the short run. Er, am I considered a vindictive person? But I actually forgive pretty fast also la.

TWO.
If you can have a dream come true, what would it be?
* Time machine, wish I could turn back time. So that I could do something before anyone of you!

THREE.
Whose butt would you like to kick?
* Seriously, I could only think of my boss’ now. hahahahahah!

FOUR.
What would you do with a billion dollars?
* Travel around the world, city and beaches.

FIVE.
Would you fall in love with your best friend?
* Why not. Although I’m never agreed in turning a best friend into bf/gf, but it probably is the best way to lead to life partner. But at this age we're just too young to decide the 'one', so it's better not to than ruining the friendship.

SIX.
Which do you think is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
* Being loved by 100% when I love him 80%. LOL. People learn can! NEVER LOVE A GUY 100% full stop.

SEVEN.
How long do you intend to wait for someone you really love?
* I've said "I’d wait as long as he comes back". But those are just words of comfort to ease one self with a slight hope that he will come back. Which in most cases, that doesn’t happen. Hence there isn’t any specific period for me, instead words just spit out of anger or on the spur of the moment when a relationship didn’t end in a mutual manner. Or perhaps I’m always waiting til another turns up. :)

EIGHT.
If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
* Check out FB everyday hoping to see ‘xxx ended his relationship with xxx’ (and attack)! Hahahahaha.. Devilish I know but don't lie I bet all of you are the same!!

NINE.
If you were to act with someone, who would it be?
* I was to say Gerard Butler! But I think he’s a lil too old for my age (to act with). So I’d go for Zac Efron. XD

TEN.
Would you invite your ex bf/gf to your wedding?
* No unless we’re really talking like friends.

ELEVEN.
How would you see yourself in ten years time?
* That’d be 32! Goodness. 10 TIMES MORE THAN MY CURRENT PAY! woot!

TWELVE.
What's your greatest fear?
* Trust.

THIRTEEN.
What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
* I tagged myself from Van’s.

FOURTEEN.
Would you rather be single and rich or married but poor?
* I once told my sisters I’d go for love than money and I got screwed from both of them T_T But now I go for the former! It’s all about the monay~

FIFTEEN.
What's the first thing you do when you wake up?
* Check the time on my phone.

SIXTEEN.
Would you give all in a relationship?
* Yes in the past. And it's stupid. SAY NO, GIRLS.

SEVENTEEN.
If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?
* Pick the better one la -_- but I don’t think I’ll ever love 2 person equally at the same time.

EIGHTEEN.
Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing the someone has done?
* I forgive but won’t forget. We would be friends I could tell you a secret, but I see how you once fucked up my life when I look into your eyes. cheers :)

NINETEEN.
Do you prefer being single or having a relationship?
* Having a guy who can really treats me good, else I’d rather be single.

Avillion Hotel at Port Dickson.

More than 10 years since I went to Port Dickson.
It totally changed my perception towards PD this time.

I’ve gotten my business card today! :)

Things have been really great throughout my first week being part of PwC, but do not embrace the part of footing with that one and a half inch heels plus a 2.8kg machine on the back! Hm, that’s the only thing I’ve gotta bear with; sardin in the train with a laptop. Luckily it’s not too troublesome to get to my working place by catching the LRT, at least no switching of trains needed. So far I haven’t drove to office yet. I’m not familiar with the parking around that area, ALSO can’t be able to leave home like.. at 6am!? You know lar, first week first impression mer.. so must lay that ‘Malaysian culture’ aside. Hence Masio travels only to Kelana Jaya LRT Station and it takes merely about 20 minutes to get straight to KL Sentral by LRT, where PwC office is located just across the street in 1 Sentral building. Still, roughly a kilometre walk from entrance to entrance. Not too far for me actually, it’s the weight of the laptop and heels that are taking me forever to reach. I changed into my heels only when arrived at KL Sentral, it really doesn’t help much.

I asked a friend how heavy does a normal laptop weigh,
“About 1.4kg.. how heavy is this?”
“2.8kg….”
… fecking hell. No wonder lar..
It’s only been 3 days but I felt as though after a backpacking trip.

One takes up only 1% out of 100% in the group photo.

I think it’s really good that the employment was started off with a training program, including a trip to PD for orientation and stuff.. you know, to let loose a little bit by the scary term of ‘auditor’. I would say myself as the minority who can’t wait to start tracking for errors on YOUR company! haha.. I’m the one you gonna hate! :D This current batch of new hires comprises of about 100 of us, in difference departments, mostly fresh grad and some experienced workers. That’s the amazing thing about this program, you get to meet all sorts of people at different levels and everyone's new, you won’t feel left out. All loners put together the same fun. :) The trip was breathtaking, connecting everyone closer in just 2 days.

Some of the tasks during games!

Our highest-score sand castle.

And my very first attempt on kayaking!
dammmmmnnn niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

However, the training has now gotten onto really intensive technical learning back in the office. It feels like days in Taylor’s, but with all new faces. No complain at all, nice place nice people, despite feeling sleepy during every talk. The training will last for a 2 week, and I have already been assigned to a project under Genting group which commences on the 22^nd. By then, I’ll be traveling out of office to client's. The coming 2 Fridays we are also to attend some dinner function with the upper management staffs and one of it parents are invited. Hm, I could sense a very strong competitive working environment ahead after a week of observation on all the new hires. Now that I realized the reputation of PwC wasn’t really made out of nothing. (cheh waa.. :p) Time to stand up and speak up!

So far everything’s going really fine and I’m on my pace to coping up things everyday. Waking up at 6 in the morning is still very so torturing after 1 week, squeezing with human in LRT is handle able, taking the lift alone at night is not SO scary anymore, but still hate the walking part with heels and laptop! Bong said I’d be so muscular. Hm, more like hunch at the back lor! Still deciding if to drive to work… but I don’t mind driving to client’s doh.. millage is claimable at $1.10/km! But this whole week parking Masio at Kelana Jaya, petrol dropped by not even 1 tank... shweeeet! :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JULIE!
See you tonight!
I'm happy that I'll be seeing many friends that I've not seen for a year or so tonight. :)

Also a few that I've been looking forward to meet!

WELCOME HOME, KENNETH CHEN KIT KEN!

Kenneth. Jeannie. Julie. Marcus.
All home.
Enjoy the summer :]

When is yours? The both of you, don't let me wait too long!

And another 2 that I miss a lot but no idea if i will ever see them again.

and Kah Kiat.
*XOXO
