For the past 2 months...

A lot has happened in the past 2 months. A lot of ups and downs. More downs actually but I'm trying to be strong, facing the challenges head-on and making the best outta the situation. Hoping for the best and taking time out to figure things out. Do a lil soul searching as to what really matters most to me and maybe, make decisions that will change the course of my life. Well, I dunno... Just kinda taking my time, trying to relax, rest and then after I make up my mind on what I wanna do, I'll go for it! Full on. Give all that I have to ensure I achieve it! Wish me luck, strength and all the best in my choices in life ;)

Okays, enough of all the cryptic ramblings about life... Let's move on to happier and more happening topics. First being Suilin's farewell party at Daikanyama. She's gonna be working in Brunei. Gonna be based there. So, us girls went for a nice jap dinner with her at Daikanyama before being joined by many others later when we proceeded upstairs for drinks. Headed to Velvet [where else??] to end the night. Suilin's now in Brunei, settled down I hope and enjoying her new work, environment and life there.
Met up with my very recent ex-colleagues for lunch at Alexis BSC one weekend. It was so nice to meet up with the crazy gang. Really miss them lots. Miss the daily lunches, goss, discussions and all the funny and crazy drama.

VM got free tix for the Guinness event ~ Arthur's Day held at Sunway Lagoon. Many acts were lined up for that night but the most anticipated and undoubtedly most exciting performance was from the Black Eyes Peas. I was guessing most of the people in the massive crowd were anxiously waiting for BEP to take on the stage and rock the night away. And rocked they did. BEP was awesome!! Really super super awesome. Fergie, one of my fav female singers did a solo of 'Big Girls Don't Cry' and will.i.am took to the deejay console and spun a few hits. Needless to say, they made everyone's night and got everyone super happy and excited.

As for me, got to Sunway after going through the mother of all traffic jams at the LDP. Getting into Sunway was another huge jam. Then, finding parking was a headache. The entire place was jammed up coz of the event. Was late to meet VM, Alan and YY. Super hungry too. Ate a Subway sandwich quickly then proceeded to enter the Lagoon. Felt a bit too dressed up but I was thinking if this thing ends early, I'll go meet up with Y and he might be down in KL at Phuture or something. So better be dressed js in case.

The way to the surf beach was lined with lotsa GAB stuff. Some really cool deco. When we reached the actual venue it was packed and we wandered around for a while, quite lost as to where we wanna go. In the end, we decided to hang out at Gravity Bar. Hadta line up for I think close to an hour before we finally got in. Entertained ourselves by snapping lotsa pics.

Once in there, got ourselves 8 pints of Guinness Stout. Then, looked for a place to chill and wait for BEP to come out. I had lotsa fun, though was quite annoyed at the huge mist fans that ruined my hair and made me look like a mad woman in pics. Was grooving away at BEP's songs. Towards the end, I was totally blown away by the awesome fireworks display. Not cheap to be able to do that. I kept feeling GAB was burning away thousands and thousands of dollars just for that few minutes of fireworks. Hahahaa...

Bumped into lots of old frens. It was nice seeing them after so long. It's always a nice feeling to bump into long-time-no-see frens unexpectedly. The 'pleasant surprise' feeling and all the catching up was indeed fun ;)

Didn't really take lotsa pics with my camera coz VM, YY and Matthias had their cameras practically stuck to their hands to whole night. So, I let them do all the pic-taking work while I drank, danced and posed... Hehehe...

Stole the pics off their FB...

1st batch was from VM. For a strange reason, she decided to add some 'effects' to all of the pics before posting them in FB. So much time on her hands...

2nd batch of pics is stolen from YY. Normal pics...

Pics from my own camera... Mainly tried to snap pics of BEP from where I was standing... Which was really far away from the stage...

Had great fun that night. Alan was abandoned by his designated driver so I hadta send him home. The boy didn't even know his way home!! Gave wrong directions and we got a bit lost. Apa la!!!

Went to Velvet last Sat for JP's birthday. Was tired coz spent the whole day at the shoot. Whole body felt so achy. Really need to go for a massage. Alison was there, so was Lil Elaine and Foxy. Glad to be hanging out with them. Haven't done that in a while. Jessie was MIA. She was in JB for an event.

JP shares the same birthday as my sister Jebbrine. Which is on the 4th of Oct. But of coz she's much much younger than him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEBB!!! I KNOW U HAD A GREAT ONE ;)

My sister and her frens rented a beachside house in Addy to celebrate her birthday. From her pics in FB, she looked like she had a blast. Her frens were so super sweet to do all this to make her day extra special. They even baked her birthday cupcakes themselves. This is what I call real good frens.

On Jebb's actual birthday, which fell on last Sunday, while she was enjoying herself by the beach, I met up with the girls from Intercos. Goodness! How much has changed since we all last worked together in Intercos. At that time, all of us were single girls. Now, 2 are moms, 1 is a mom-to-be and another is registered and planning for her wedding in March next year. Come to think of it, I'm the only one that remained unchanged, still single, the only thing different is that I now have a special someone in my life, Y. When I was working in Intercos, I was really single, SINGLE. Like no bf single. Now, I have a great addition in my life in the form of a loving bf ;)

Arin, Michelle's daughter, seemed love-struck the moment she laid eyes on Y. The whole time, she was staring boldly at him, smiling, chuckling and got really excited whenever Michelle took her near him. At one point, she was playing footsie with Y, when we put her next to him. Wow... Talk about starting young... Hahahaha...

May's lil baby daughter was super cute, with dimpled arms and legs. Felt so 'geram', wanted to pinch her. But I didn't! Hahaha... Jovin [I think Jo gave her this name] super like to smile. She smiled easily at anything and anyone. Such a pleasant baby.

Jureen will be delivering her baby in Dec. It's gonna be a girl. I feel quite anxious for her coz when I imagine the birth, I can practically feel the pain already!!! But I guess it's worth it when she helds her bundle of joy in her arms. That's what all my frens who are moms say. The pain is worth it. I'm not so sure I'm feeling the same way as them. Haha... Kinda wanna postpone this as long as I can. Guess I'm really not ready for all these :P

It was great to meet up with my old frens and ex-colleagues these past couple of months. Had so much to catch up and talk about. Also met up with niece Mel for lunch last month. So good to see her again after so long. She never failed to crack me up with her natural comical self. Hehehehee...

Looking forward to see what the end of 2009 brings me. Hopefully from now on, it'll bring more happiness, joy and a clearer path towards making my dreams materialize ;)
