Well 2010 has really been an eventful year for me. So many changes took place in my life. Some for the better some well not so.
Right at the beginning of the year was pretty strange, full of uncertainty. I just finish my last paper as a student and went to Bangkok for a few days before 2010. I started of 2010 with nervousness I might say. What was I suppose to do now that its all over. What do I do? Work? Continue a master program? Travel the world?
Well after praying really really hard, going for exhibitions, talking to people, praying again, going for interviews it seems I was to enter the working world. And so here I am, at work. It took my 7 interviews to finally land a job. Could definitely have been more.
This year, there were some life changing? moments..
Firstly on my list would be getting the dengue fever from the little flying vampires. Wow was that tough. I spent a good 7 days lying on the hospital bed. Basically I was fed panadol and got my blood checked every day... till the second last day where my blood count drop below what the doctor was comfortable with. With that he decided he better get my blood checked TWICE a day. So the nurse came and drew blood twice a day for two days. NOT NICE.
Oh and on the panadol I've roughly did a calculation on how many I had.
4 hours = 2 biji
24 hours = 12 biji
7 days = 84 biji
2 days before dengue I was already on panadol
6 hours = 2 biji
24 hours = 8 biji
2 days = 16 biji
Total dengue panadol consumption in 9 days
84+16 = 100 biji
* note I think these are AT LEAST. Cause in between these weeks there were a couple of times where my temperature spiked and I got a special kind of panadol.
Alot of panadol's eh?
The next life changing experience I think was when I skidded around on the highway. One second I was listening to the radio exiting the highway, next thing I knew I was going in a circle. Oh this plus another accident the same week. I got involved in a 5 car pile up on the North South Expressway. I think the PLUS people closed the highway a good 10 minutes because of us. Nasty jam we caused I tell ya! From these two car related accident I BELIEVE I drive more slowly now. Not SLOW, but slower.
Some of the more memorable things this year. Hmm.
I started work, got my first pay check! I believe ever college/uni kid out there has a list of Things-To-Buy with their very first pay check. I was no different. I had an ridiculous long list as well. However with my first pay check I bought my self a pair of Nike running shoes. My very first pair of Nike shoes. That was also because of my new? hobby, running around :) Bata shoes, well they dont provide enough support to the knees. Hurts after a few kilometers.
That was the first thing I got. And the last. It was impossible to fulfill the Things-To-Buy list! I guess the more you earn the more things you want. A never ending cycle. I guess the best is to be content with what you have.
I can't wait for next year! What's install, all the new changes and events and also partially I'm gonna spend the first week of next year in a far far away land. 3 hours 50 minutes to be exact. :) Most probably more on that next post?
Till next time.
Merry CHRISTmas to all and to all a happy new year!
