i know everyone's been saying this title is way too formal, but what the heck - i like it... =)
anyway, i've promised myself to write this down. not for anyone else but for my own record. it's amazing how much we all change over the years and this would be a good reminder in years to come how 2009 turned out to be for me.
january 2009
started out the year with a splendid break up north in thailand. spent a couple of weeks there in bangkok and pattaya and had a great time with cl - perfect weather, rich culture, great food, nice ppl, pretty girls and pretty "girls"... =)
february 2009
zh's wedding! made it a point not to miss this one after missing out on ang's big day. and no regret as it was a beautiful ceremony. never imagined would see the day zh walks down the aisle... hahaha...
spent the longest time onboard the ss3. would also like to think of it as one of the more successful campaign ss3 had in south furious. had my ups and downs on this campaign. had a stop card written against me by the csr for not going to sleep!
march 2009
back on land from ss3
april 2009
spent some time in miri. back in kl for a weekend for the us visa application. back to labuan and managed to squeeze in 2 ves jobs in kikeh on the west setia and ocean rover.
may 2009
furthest trip i've ever made to this day. kl - doha - houston - tulsa. the start of my second/ leader school for slb.
june 2009
still in tulsa for the slb school. definitely the best time i've had since i joined slb. great class, great time. 11 ppl from 9 different countries - malaysia (1), colombia (2), brazil (1), usa (2), china (1), russia (1), hungary (1), france (1), cameroon (1). unfortunately did not do as well as i did in the first school. ended up second in class.
july 2009
after 6 months being away from cl, spent a couple of weeks with her in san fransisco, vegas and disneyland california. most memorable vacation i've had with cl (and most expensive!!!)... =)
at the end of the month, went back to labuan for a day before heading onto brunei on sta...
august 2009
was on bima for my first ohgp job. turned out to be a really "interesting" job. a lot of question mark still remains about what actually happened.
september 2009
second ohgp job. operational nightmare. enough said.
october 2009
third ohgp job. almost lost a well. recovered. and recovered well. for the first time since i joined slb, i felt that i've been pushed (physically and mentally) so far that i started to question myself. remember waking up and staying in bed thinking - what the heck am i doing here?!
november 2009
was registered for an ohgp class in kl. was truly glad for the chance to be back home. and this was the start of 2 hectic months of travelling between kl, miri and brunei.
december 2009
was in brunei for a week for a yard test. was in miri a couple of days. but most memorable moment? being able to spend xmas eve at home. first time after joining slb.
ps: i actually wrote this down in the first week. thought of adding in pics of all the events - especially our trips to bangkok/ pattaya and san fransisco/ vegas/ disneyland. but that delayed this post for 2 weeks. so here it goes. i don't wanna post this entry in the second month of the year waiting for the pics... =/
happy new year everyone!!!
