The end of 2009 - The start of 2010

It is going to be a brand new year again. I remember that I wrote a summary of year 2008 before the new year of 2009. And now, it is time to write another piece to say good bye to 2009.

Obviously, I am back from Norway in the middle of year 2009. Last year, I was asking that when will I stop working abroad. Apparently, it is not going to end so soon. Since I am going to work at Shanghai after Chinese New Year. Another year of travelling, another year of unknown, another year that lead to more question mark.

I am standing at the age of mid 20. A girl who start using anti-aging cosmetic product instead of oil-free. Nic said another 5 years, it is going to be anti-wrinkle but not anti-aging anymore. (wtf $%*(!&@%) Everyone scare to get old. Age is always a secret for women (girl?women?girl? women? which word to use?) especially when 18 years old sounds so far from you. Lately, I am reading a book where the main character is living his life from old back to young again, just like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Suddenly, I feel, actually it is good to get old too. At the age of 18, I am daring, do whatever without concerning about how other people look/think at me. A year of problem-free and only laughter in life. At the same time, because of my ignorance, my inconsiderate, I hurt many people without notice. Now, as I am getting older, the way I look at things are getting less persistent. I accept people's comment, I understand what other people are trying to tell me.

Looking back to the time after I am back from Norway, I spent a lot of time with my friends. Kitt Yin, Ray, Enrico, Sheau Miin, Kim Loong, Sze Ying...It is a year of joy and sorrow. The leaving of Sze Ying's father, Nic's great grand-mum... There is a saying: time can heals everything. Wish that all their pain of losing their loved one in life will be heal by time. Joyful part, the register of marriage for Ming Jie, wedding of Joo Ann, engagement of Choy Yee...wish these lovely couples will bring new life into this world.

Relationship? Kam commented on Choy Yee's engagement said that according to stat human tend to get marry between 25-27. I am 25 this year and it seems like I am going to be the one who fall out of this range or maybe at the border of it. So, in conclusion for relationship, stagnant.

Travelling side, I had been to US, German, Sweden, Thailand, HK in year 2009. For year 2010, I plan to visit as many place in China as possible since I am going to be working there. Beijing...Yun Nan...Harbin...tibet...and Taiwan,perhaps?

What else I plan to do in this new coming year? er...I wish to learn more, read more. (And, also losing more body weight! hahaha...) I wish to have less tear more laughter. I wish to have less thing to ponder more peace in my brain.

Bye bye 2009, welcome 2010.

life is a wonderful gift from GOD.most of us take it for granted till it's a bit too late.never focus too much on how much we can earn or what can we achieved or how many countries we wanted to travel-end of the day when we sit n ponder it boils down to the question of kam ' izzit worth'...btw may the journey of our lives be fragrant with blessings,success,hope,joy,love n peace.may GOD bless n guide all of us. a wonderful 2010!

Wishes come true with strong will... An interesting year past, yet another will come. Enjoy yourself in China. Too bad u'll miss the volleyball. Oh, by the way, it's never that bad actually to be older physically. U can't change the nature's circle, so just keep your heart young. Cheers!
