I guess, it is also time to reminisce on what 2008 has been for me... A time to look back on the highs and the lows of 2008.
January
What a way to start the new year by trading in the old car for a new one...
Yes, I got myself a car... And with the car, I got myself into debt with the bank for 7 years. So, technically, you're not "rich" when you can afford a car... It just means, you can afford to owe the bank for a number of years. Whoopee!
February
Well, February was a rather quiet month except for Chinese New Year... Had a good time meeting up with family and friends, and picking up some ang pows (red packets) along the way. Now, THAT's what I call rich! Muahahaha....
March
The month my sister and my brother-in-law assumed position at Cosway, Queensbay Mall. It was also the month where I picked up my long-awaited digital camera, the Canon Ixus 860is. This decision was actually brought forward due to the fact that the camera will come VERY handy in the following month...
April
Oh boy, was I excited about this month or what! My job review was up this month. It went pretty OK, except for a few comments which I felt was rather unfair, but oh well, just have to suck it in and improve, I guess... Not to fret, though, the best days of my entire year was about to come... The long awaited LIVE concert of Céline Dion, in not one but TWO cities... Shanghai, China and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
It was definitely an experience of a lifetime. Sure, I have seen her before in Las Vegas, but that was a different show altogether.
I practically flew all night to get to Céline, in Shanghai, that is...
The long-awaited concert. Lousy seats, though.
And then, of course, my once-in-a-lifetime chance of meeting Céline face-to-face. I even got a hug!
May
This was a month that had both a union and a farewell. It was the month of Kevin and Sharon's wedding but also, it was the month we had to say "See ya!" to the Spoelmans for half the year.
Can't recall much of June... maybe because by the end of May, most of us were quite down... But I enjoyed spending time with my cousin sister and family as well as celebrated a couple of birthdays and hanging out with cute little boys...
Well, that's the first half of my 2008. Not sure if I'll have the time to write the second part of this post, but I'll give it a try...
It was also the month of "Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun"
