1. Graduated from Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman with a Bachelor of Marketing (1st Class Honours), but was stupid enough to leave my card/chip (wutever) that contains my name, graduation picture everything on my chair. Ended up walking down to receive my scroll without having my name called out, picture was not shown on screen but loooking back now.. its funny. It wasn't at that time though..thank you coursemates+partners in crime for comforting me. teehehe.. almost broke into tears. 2 years of slaving through uni and i left that bloody card on that bloody chair. argh. still feeling a bit bitter now. Another thing... to the management if you ever read this.. it would be better if the interviews with press to be conducted maybe 15 minutes AFTER the graduation. Else, if you make it DIRECTLY after the convocation.. poor peanuts like me will miss taking a full graduation picture with all her coursemates. thank you very much. *its quite obvious that i was and still am upset over this* teehehe..
2. Got my first job as an auditor. Got another offer to work with IBM 2 months later. Stayed with IBM for about 6 months till i got myself another offer to work with RHB and 4 months later ..i still am with RHB (this have got nothing to do with the 2 year bond i got myself in.. teehehe) wink*
I know this dont look quite good cuz it appears as if I'm a job hopper (teehehe) but sometimes, we just gotta keep looking till we find a perfect fit, no?
3. Secured a job with RHB in which i am to undergo a 1 year intensive training under the Management Associate Program (MAP). Met 20 bright, crazy, fun-loving individuals, outstanding in their own ways, which helps spice up our classroom training at Bangi every now and then. I am totally in love with the Nasi Kandar at Nilai and my fingers will remain crossed that our canteen food gets better next year. Underwent and successfully completed the first Retail Banking module. Attached to a branch in Pj New Town, worked with amazing colleagues and saw many different facets of life and interacted with people of all walks of life. Truly an eye opening experience that money cant buy. Sold credit cards, personal financing loans, insurance and every other damn thing for the first time in my life. Was a challenging experience and im glad its over and i wont have to do it again. phew* things you do in training..
4. Bought myself a black Myvi. And i know now how pricey it is to maintain a car. le sigh.. insurance, services, unexpected scratches, you name it..
5. Still did not manage to board a plane and travel overseas.. sigh sigh sigh howcome??
6. Introduced to a friend online and established an unexpectedly strong and lasting friendship.
7. Curled my hair for the first time in my life. (Didnt quite like it tho) So i got it straighten again in June. : )
8. Did a few road trips which i heart so much. Dont get to do it as often as it used to be.. but it was a great time well spent with great company.
9. Found a new-found love + addiction with drinks. *winks*
10. Lose some, gain some. Got my heart broken and still am in the process of mending it. Though it might take longer this time, due to unforeseen circumstances.. but it will happen.
11. Gain alot of new friendship with my days in IBM, some of which became my sisters, brothers, confidant and shoulders to lean on. Never had i expected to find such unconditional and strong lasting relationship in a workplace. For that, i'm truly blessed.
12. Attended my first friend's wedding. Denise if you're reading this.. "My first time give to you liao!!!" and i wish that happiness always find its way to your doorstep.
13. Turned 23 on december 26. Thank you for all the warm wishes be it text, emails, testi, msgs, cards, letters and presents. I love each and every one of it. thank you.
14. Had the toughest time of my life throughout August 2008 till November 2008. Shed the most tears and heart breakingly painful nights imaginable. Not something i would like to highlight in my year 2008 recap, but the fact that i managed to pull myself through , making sure i did not sink in deep self pity or depression- i feel this warrants at least an acknowledgement.
15. Started including dresses in my wardrobe. hehehe.. dresses- why dint i find you earlier??
16. Bought myself a red handphone and a red laptop.
17. Did many spontaneous trips with no prior plannings whatsoever!
