Counted down in Singapore Expo Hall 6.
During the last 30 seconds I reflected on my year.
What have I done? What have I achieved? What I should have done?
Plenty.
Got my very first full time job.
It's hard going into something inexperienced. I felt so dumb and hopeless most of the time. But things have to learnt and fast.
I love the people there. It's like a huge family. Everybody is taking care of each other. I like it here, considering I have met some nasty people from some of my previous temp jobs.
But to this day I'm still unsure of this job. Does it really hold the potential that I have seen at first? Do I really want to stay in this industry which doesn't really hold that strong an interest in?
Questions which I've to ask myself again once I've hit mid 2007.
Held my traditional wedding dinner in January.
Believe me I won't want to go through that again. It was non stop smiling and last minute stuff on that day. Barely had time to talk to my friends who turned up that night.
Thank you to all my jie meis and my hubby's brothers who really left behind some beautiful (aka funny) memories that morning. My hubby will never forget the durian.
I'll never forget his too short thank you speech and his brothers snatching away every single drink that night that he ended up almost not drinking anything.
But my daddy saved the day by bringing up a bottle of Royal Salute to our suite to drink and my hubby ended up drunk in bed.
I miss the suite.
2 Newcomers to the Lim Household.
20th November 2006 morning. Contractions started. I left for work ignorant to what was about to happen.
10am - Hubby called to say "SHE'S GIVING BIRTH!" WTF?!
Yes, on this day Bibi, my female shihtzu, gave birth to three boys. Zhuzhu must be proud but he seemed more like the blur dog that he always is. Not able to give proper names, we simply named them Lao Da (oldest one), Lao Er (2nd one) and Lao San (3rd one).
Sad to say Lao Da left us early the next day. Body being weaker than the other two and unable to get enough milk from Bibi. He just went cold and passed on. I hope he's somewhere beautiful now. It was really heartbreaking to see him like that. So beautiful yet so cold.
The other two now are big and healthy and growing fast. Already off weening and drinking ... keke ... HL Milk like their papa and mama.
3 major milestones in my 2006. But that doesn't mean all the other memories are not as beautiful. They are. And they shall be remembered. Thank goodness for blogs. Hee hee.
