2009 Wishes...

2008 had been a great year.  Can't exactly remember what  my 2008 resolution was, apart from saving money.. but nevermind,  cos this year i have not thought of any.   Well except for to save money, again.  I can't commit to my previous resolution..  but so far what i wished for in 2008, came through, at least one wish ... so maybe I should just wish to have more money in 2009, so that i can save. ah.. then.. my resolution to save money works!

The best thing that happened to me in 2008 was being able to secure a job before leaving TTSH.  Leaving TTSH was a wish I made at the start of 2008 and it came through ( thanks to YF for the recommendation).   But, leaving TTSH was the hardest thing to do too.  I left on 28 November  and till today,I still feel sad having to leave the wonderful nurses at Ward12B, and everyone there.. be it the doctors, physio, dietition..  I miss all of them.  
  
2008,   
Kevin and I have  got to know  many good and beautiful people. 
Over the year,  Kevin's ex-colleagues maintained the friendship with the help of Facebook, they created a group called "Happy Family".    We went for a snorkelling trip to Perhentian Island . Best experience was to swim with the giant turtles.   There were a few organised activities , like in-line skating at East Coast..  the last time i had that skate on was like 10yr back,  it was so difficult to skate, now that i not that young.   We took part in the Runway Cycle, can never forget this day..    Me and Kevin cycled from home to paya lebar airport, on the road.. for the very first time... and on my birthday!  Yeah.. we got ourselves bicycles!   I wished for that too!

Another memorable event was my 37th birthday! 
Kevin drove me up to Genting, KL , and it was our first driving experience to M'sia.  I always wanted to go to Genting and try running in that so- called cold climate. But the weather was not that chilly as it used to be and there were no safe route to run, so didn't achieve that.  
My lovely TTSH ex-colleagues threw me a birthday party at Fish and Co.

Kevin and I managed to escape whenever possible to nearby resorts...
We'd been to Bali, the furthest for 2008. 

To Port Dickson with Candy.
To Desaru with Ash ...

Driving to desaru feels like driving to Sento.  
We just love the beach at Desaru. 

Never wished for a new mobile but I got Omnia. 

Started my new job in December, and best part..  there were some salary re-structuring and I benefited from it.  Got my salary adjusted before i started working.. and extra 1 mth pay in my first mth salary.  

Working 5 days a week,  free after 6pm, no shifts... leaves me with so much time to do what i wanted to do... Started running and kevin started going to gym.  going to the movies practically every day.  to the beach on weekends..  spending time at home.. sweet. 

There were many other events in 2008 to list down.. but those were the ones which can never forget.  It was them...   Kevin, YF, my TTSH friends,  the "Happy Family" that made my 2008  the most memorable year ever! 

So.. what do i wish for 2009?

kevin get new job &
a baby, maybe?
