Christmas

Christmas came and gone. I'm back to my desk after an 11 day break, showing signs of post holiday syndrome, but is entirely happy and satisfied with how I end this year.

Friends asked me where I went during this break? I said no where, just bumming.

Well that is not exactly true. Firstly, I went to Ipoh for an one day eating trip. Then, I visited the cinema no less than six times, met up with the theater gang in FullHouse, familiarised myself with the HD TV in my living room (Dark Knight is awesome in HD), and went to Noel's new place for a Christmas-cum-secondary school reunion house party.

Ah, and also the FH-Paprika Christmas party where everyone got their ass kicked in pool (billiard) by Anjali. She is good.

But of course, Jess and I also celebrated our first Christmas Eve together. We went to Michelangelo for drinks and appetizers, then Wendy's for burgers.

Why?

Because the kitchen crew in Michelangelo was unable to serve our order after nearly two hours. Normally heads will roll for this sort of service, yet, it was Christmas Eve, so we just paid for what we had and left to watch Chipmunks 2.

Dontchu just love Christmas?

Closing the book

Can you believe this? 2009 just zoomed past us, and here we are, 10 more days before Christmas. It feels like yesterday when the then triplet (now quadruplet) told each other "2009 is all about Efficient Dynamics", don't you think?

There were a handful of joyous occasions, and a few sad ones. If I am to sum it all up, I will remember 2009 as the year when I became MINI Master (I got a cert for this okay), promoted to SAE, went to Taipei, traveled with MAS to Sandakan, done drive events in Kuching + K.Terengganu, BMW Shorties 2009, and the new HD-Ready TV in my living room rocks.

Of course, I also found you. The one with many nicknames- talk back machine, DDSD, and now Rudolph. Here's to another year of sweet and exciting journey.

2009 is also the year we decided to walk out from a six years (or is it seven?) client-agency relationship. To the account that made me who I am today, I bid you farewell. Although I will miss you dearly, I'm also certain that this separation will do us good.

So it is official, no more BMW Quadruplets. Meet the Astro Boys.
