Who would have thought...Part 1

It seems like it was only yesterday I joined this company. Who would have thought that 3 years have passed so fast and loads of wonderful memories and experience. I finally left it and I had so many versions of farewell that I could not thank everyone involved enough. 1 May 2004 - 30 April 2007, never thought that I would enjoy myself & made lots of friends and some are like family to me. I have changed a lot too and my perspective in life is also different now.

Here is one farewell dinner organized by NiNi, Shawna n Jeff. We went to Madam Kwan's Bangsar. Food was yummy, company was great and I'm blessed to have these people crossed my path. I looked exausted but I was happy and had a great time.

What shall I do in 2007?

We're now in March and I haven't done or enrolled myself in anything new. Opps actually I have! I'm taking swimming lessons. Last year I took up salsa and belly dancing. Both are so much fun. I'm still into salsa but putting belly dancing on hold for a month or two. Next...I'm considering Capoeira, the Brazillian Martial Arts. I went for the workshop last week and discovered moves I never knew I could 'still' do! (btw...the intructor has a nice bod!) So if I do sign up for this class, it's gonna be this Sunday, 330-500pm. Busy...busy...busy

In salsa, I'm now in Improver 2 class. Long way to go before I can have moves like Vanessa Williams or JLo (not sure whatever they were dancing was salsa). Anyway, the picture below was taken after my Beginner 2 Class with the whole gang.

The picture below is taken after class at the Mamak's. How does one expect to live a healthy life when we keep on having teh tarik, tosei, roti canai and curry every time after classes. Well, at least we're all having fun! Most of us are in separate classes now while some decided to quit or take a break.

The cool thing about learning salsa at HAVANA ESTUDIO is that they have monthly studio party (those interested can call Sam or Aisha at 0122806969/0122018690). We get to mingle and dance with people we do know and don't know. Check out my moves...

It's been a long time since I last went on a holiday on my own and have a 'ME' time all by myself. Last alone holiday I had was to Europe in 2004 and last holiday I had with a friend was to Bali in 2006. Where shall I go next? USA...India...Korea...Egypt. We shall see...

A year wiser

15th July 2006, my lovely collegues organized a party for me at Friendsters, Damansara Perdana. Alina, Karl, Don and John was there too. My morning started well, got a new dress, a new shoe (despite the stitches I had on my toe) and had my hair done. Not until 6pm when my date called to say that he was not feeling well and can't make it to dinner. Can you imagine how I felt at that moment? Suddenly this tune came to my head..."it's my party and I'll cry if I want to...", well or course that song had a different story to it but...hey who could blame me for crying right!?
Anyway, the party went on great coz I was surrounded by people I love and they love me. These are the friends whom I can rely on, there when I need a shoulder to cry on and accepts me for who I am. Who could ask for more. We did some bizarre stuff that night and it will be an experience I'll cherish for the entire of my breathing life. (not something I wanna do again though...hehehe)

That night, I could choose to be miserable and sulk all night. I could choose never to talk to my supposed 'date' but how can one blame a person for being sick at the last minute (or was he reaalllly sick? Whatever!). Should I have insisted that he showed up and spread the virus to the rest of the gang? In life we have a choice...to be unhappy and ungreatful for the things you don't have or to be the Sunshine and thankful for the people around you and the things you DO have. And I chose the latter.

I've learned that friends come and go. Some are like family, some disappear for different reasons; they moved away and lost touch, you had an argument and still disagree even after 20 years or just found new 'circle' of friends that would benefit their reason for being alive!
In my 32 years of living on this planet, I've found 2 friends whom I cant get rid off or they cant get rid of me no matter how hard they tried. Lynda and Alina. I've known them since I was 7...will tell you about them 1 of these days. Anyway, I've written this way back in July and have only decided to publish it today. Thanks to everyone who was there for me! Luv you!

What Ever!

This message is dedicated to all my buddies and people who have been around me since last Thursday. I've been a bit down and grumpy so anybody who ask me any questions gets.."WHAT EVER!!" as an answer. Hehehe...sorry people, a gal is allowed to be grumpy, snotty and sassy anytime she wants without a valid reason! That's the beauty of being a gal! Anyway, I'm snapping out of it...(a few percentage is still there, so I'm gonna do a bit more of my retail theraphy, then I'll be fine ;-) )

Having said that, I've realized that I dont have pictures of those dearest to me, who've made me the person I am today... My FAMILY. Here's the gang!

Here's the next generation...4 are missing from the picture (not my fault that these people always miss family gatherings). Anyway, these kids are the reason I (sometimes) feel old.
