Well, now it's a mere 4 hour-ish until the switch of the year! This will be my last post of the year! I've mentioned how 2008 was for me in the previous post. But I have determined to end this year at a high note! Well, the 30th was very interesting night! Thanks a bunch to a couple of my crazy mates. And now, I'm about to leave for a family dinner, and then embark to my friend's place to do countdown together. Massive plans!! May this night be legendary!
So that's it.. 2008, I'm out. And I'll see you in 2009!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
It's a mere 1 day and 22 hours left in 2008 (Jakarta time that is).. For me myself, it's been a not bad year. It's good! Considering that 2006 and 2007 both were not very good to me to say the least. I mean 2006 was just depressing, and 2007 really ended in a very sour note during that last couple of months..
The year itself is quite eventful, with Olympics, some natural disasters, global economy crisis, etc. Makes my life in banking a bit tougher, but I guess it was still okay as we ride through it smoothly..
Personal life? Well there's definitely less drama this year, so I'm happy! The house next door is still under construction, and hopefully it'll be done in March or so. If you're invited to my housewarming party, I still could use XBox 360, Playstation 3, some HDTVs, and the list may go on! hehe..
Working life, well let's just say it's not as much of a challenge lately.. But we'll see how it goes next year..
Some of my bests of 2008:
Best Song: I'm Yours, by Jason Mraz. Very upbeat, good song about life, and funky island tune.
Best Movie: Dark Knight. And by default, best actor was Heath Ledger. Such a shame about his departure )=.
Best Sport Moment: John Terry missing his penalty, and Edwin VDS saving Anelka's penalty in the shoot-out of Man United vs Chelsea in the Champions League final! Man I was ecstatic and couldn't sleep for the rest of the day! Brilliant! But the final race in Formula One, man, that was breath-taking.. Too bad Massa didn't win it )=. Actually There's a lot more sporting moment in there, Wimbledon final, Phelps record gold, etc..
Best TV Series: Entourage still wins it for me. Although I enjoyed Grey's Anatomy as well..
Best Race: I wanna say Obama vs McCain, but then again, was it an even race? Maybe Obama vs Clintons wouldSo a tie with the final Formula One race day in Brazil!
Best Gadget: Blackberry Bold. Hands down! I wanna say Guitar Hero, but Bold just blew it all off.
Best Party: Super Bed Club. Bangkok. Second visit. Legendary!
Best Wedding: The garden party in Widya Candra, now that felt like real wedding! I'm sorry pin, urs is nice too though!
That's all I could think of.. I'll post some more tomorrow! ><
To dine my penne with Basil Pesto
Nothing better than a fine wine
O how I longed for that mistletoe
For I to claim thy kiss as mine!!
The joyous holiday has arrived! Merry X'Mas everyone! May U all have the bestest christmass this season around!!
Chubby..
One tequila..
I recently just watched an episode of Entourage, in which Vincent Chase, usually the calmest of the bunch, threw a cellphone in rage and cursed loudly. That had taken me aback a bit, never would have guessed that coming.
Two tequila..
Chubby..
Three tequila..
Promotion is nigh.. Strong career improvement came knockin' on ur door.. Ur on top of the world! Global crisis hit, shatters everything apart..
Four tequila..
Chubby..
Five tequila..Time for my sleep perhaps..
Had my first competitive basketball match for my company, unfortunately we lost 32-35. The score may seem close, but we were actually chasing them after getting behind as far 8 points. Both my knees got knocked, and my right palm not doing so well either. I blame the uneven floor!!
But hey, overall I think we did well considering it's out first time playing as a team against another. I'll post some pictures later when I got them.. Sunday will be out next match, hopefully I can make it..
Midway thru my annual block leave now, most of the time just chillin' at home (=
But some of my highlights so far:
1. Watched Entourage continuation, and was happy to see Sloan back in the show. Damn is she stunning!
2. Seen a dude actually wearing a shirt with "Sharapova" written in his back in the Gym's locker room.. Talk about being expressive! (I have no qualms about it though!)
3. Twilight and Bolt. Both just okay movie, with Twilight being a bit too corny on some of the dialogs. But I can't complain much, there's not a whole lot of movie coming up in here. I may have to resort buying Tropic Thunder's dvd )=
4. Refurbishing my house.. Ok, maybe it's not really a highlight, but that's what I've been doing most around here lately. Picking out marbles, water closets, fences, etc etc..
5. Fitness. Well, only one day of gym, although plenty of bball-ing..
Still got two more off-days, and my weekend is all planned out as well.. fun fun.
