2007 Review

wooo.... HAPPY NEW YEAR!
My FIRST post in 2008 is about 2007.
(lame, okway, ignore the above)

Can imagine by end of this year, my blog will have 400 posts in total.. Probably jam up the uploads again. Boohoo.. But it takes too much work to start a new blog anyways, and because I already have THREE blogs.

Anyway, finally have some time to review on my 2007.

Family

A new addition to my family. Not that anyone got pregnant, but my brother married his girlfriend of about 3years plus. We dont really know much about her though. She is soooo quiet. Hopefully when she finally moves in, she can help my mom with household chores and do what a daughter-in-law is supposed to do. It is probably through her that I realised, I have been good to my then boyfriends' families.

Parents are in good health. And we just went to Batam for a short holiday to end the year 2007 together with our other families. They all seemed to have aged. White hair are getting more and more visible on them. Which means, I'm not getting any younger also la.

Work

Had three pay increments within last year. That should make me happy but it didnt make me so want to continue working in this company. I'm looking for exposure, not exactly those increments I've gotten.

Still struggling hard to quit. I have 'tendered my resignation' for almost a year now. But look! Here I am still at my office desk blogging. I threw my resignation letter AGAIN on my boss' birthday, but failed nevertheless. I just got stuck lor. But it's nothing bad working here, I get to give commands and the authorities I have make me feel good, but again, I'm actually looking for exposure!

Friends

Came to know new friends, through diving, through friends, etc. Some come, some go.

Luckily my two babes are still with me. Estie, we have officially known each other for the 21st year now, more to come as long as I live. Mel, we also have known each other more than our two hands can count. :)

But some, just go. Conflicts happened non stop then after the trips, we were like strangers. I may be enemy to them, but I guess I never have the thought of making one more enemy, to me, they just gone, simply that. People whom I used to hangout, sailing, chilling, diving, msn-ing, dining, etc somehow seemed to leave me for some reason only they know. I remember I once asked, can a girl and boy have platonic friendship after the courting failed? I treasure them, but I cant hold them back.

Diving

Only had four trips this year. And three out of them, it was with the two of them. The relationships between us changed like lightning. Each trip, we went together with different relationships, different feelings, different self. And we were almost not contacting each other now anymore.

Still had not seen Manta even I went all the way to Manta Point. Incredible. But at least, I finally seen the everyone-talks-about-it Mola Molas. No Whalesharks neither. Boo. But that is what kept me diving, to hope to see it one day.

Out of the four trips, one was free. Purely won it from a party. No gimmicks. That trip, made one friend too. And that trip, made me fall in love with night dive.

Tried the Bali Safari. It was soooo memorable. Took great pain to make it there. With tears and laughter. Lost few friends too. Wonder how it would be like, end of this year to recall about this trip I had last year. It was the dives, sightseeing and the shopping that were really really great. But nope, no more cold water diving in near future!!

And it was then that I realised being cold can really make you lose your senses. I will not, forget the moment I got lost without light underwater during the night dive. It's just tooooo freaking cold to concentrate at all. Even when surfaced, the mind just doesnt start working immediately. The shiver was bad and unbearable, the darkness was helpless and totally blind.

Love

I was almost single the entire year! *clapclap* Unbelievable, I know! First time ever in my life since my first ever official relationship till today, I was Single for more than 2 months!

Anyway, the start of 2007, my love life wasn't smooth already. Hiccups once every two days, it seemed. Felt so much like a frigging third party. Somehow, I backed out. I was like a dry sponge, absorbing the water till one day, overflows, I just couldn't take it. The emotion roller coaster ride was sooo taxing. We broke before Valentines' Day. It was a stressful period.

The end of 2007, spent the last month to recover from the second relationship. I was expected to behave like the wife when I wasn't even formally the girlfriend. There was no title given to me. There wasn't enough time for me to perform but verdict has already been made. I was just not caring nor loving enough, but I have always thought, I was still only a friend to him.

I wonder did I really have a bad streak of temper so great that none of my good points can cover it? He used to be my best friend.

Rest of the (in the middle) year, I was just enjoying courtships from different people.

Health

Been good. Have started to go running at least once a week and even blade once! Heh. Did swimming as well. Avoided the Sun as much as I could too.

Travel

Didnt go to much places. Did plan to places but things flopped and plan dreams were vanished.

KL to find YF, partied, shopping, eating, visited KLaquaria. I remembered taking a snapshot of us and even framed it up with cute cartoons, I gave him as a present for keeping me accompany during my stay. I still have it and wonder does he? It was great, the journey all by myself was relaxing but at the same time, tiring. But I thought it was worthwhile.

Batam with my families recently. Shopping but bought nothing, eating seafood as though they were free, snorkeling for free and get injured, long chats at nights, and the climbing of steeeeep stairs that could break your legs and make you out of breath!

Bali, besides diving, did some sightseeing and shopping. Had the horse carriage! Thanks to Roy and YF who cannot handle me who insisted on sitting the carriage! Massage and scrubs. Beachy walks. Eat EAt EAt.

Went Thailand also, nothing much. Eat only.

Myself

Seemed to have better control over my emotions. Been glad that everything's fine for me last year, even bought myself a new handphone. Love life may not be good, but having a love life may only mean trouble, perhaps? People come and go, just be contented and cherish everything everyone around me. :)

What?!?!! You read this within 10mins?? Eh! I wrote this more than an hour, can you read through again and make sure you didn't miss any paragraphs?!?!!!!! Actually there are alot more, but I couldnt think of now, too much work to do.

Come back for my 2008 Resolutions post!
