Happy New Year 2012

The Year of Living Dangerously

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - Charles Dickens - A Tale of Two Cities.

Well, to say 2011 is a turbulent year is a understatement. So many things happened this year, and some of them are good while others are bad. Anyway, we move on with life with no regrets, least we be stuck in the past forever. So 2012, here I come.

This is the year that I changed job, when I said enough is enough. Actually I had several choices, I could have been in Brunei instead, but in the end, I still stay in Penang with my new job. Did I miss teaching? A bit, which is why I am going back to Wawasan to be a part time tutor for a programming subject for 2012. But my new job, I have been to several conferences, management meetings, trip to KL, and maybe next year I will be going to Philippines, Vietnam and if I am lucky, Japan. So its not that bad. And I did get my bonus already instead of having to wait for May 2012 =.=. And I don't have to hear about "we are in the right direction" but we have to take "cost cutting measures" cough.

This is a year that I had a fight with my good friend. I don't really know why but we are not in speaking terms anymore...

Hmm, other than that I guess nothing much has happened this year. If I can remember more stuff, I will write about it..ha ha.

Last Christmas

Well, actually this happened on a Friday before Christmas. Me and my friend, we went to Straits Quay, actually its Delicious cafe for some tea, then later dinner at Sakae Sushi, but that's another story. Actually she wants to try Library, but I don't drink..ha ha.  Actually the cakes at Delicious there are quite famous, so just give it a try.

Not bad at all.

The Christmas tree at Straits Quay.

On Saturday, I met another of my ex student. We were supposed to meet up at Gurney, but it rained and I was scared of the traffic, so we met up at Queensbay instead. Lucky I arrived earlier and managed to park at the 5th floor, if I was later, I might have to park at the rooftop. Finding a place to eat was a pain, and finally we decided to eat at Station One.

Sunday, its finally Christmas..

Last look at the Christmas decoration.
