the year that was...2006

'twas the year that I...Had crazy impulsive hairstyles



obviously the one on top left was a super mistake, cos I wanted to recreate the zaman kegemilangan look in 2005 when i worked in glo...
zaman kegemilangan

Hah, obviously failed dengan miserably...in fact, the whole mop of hair looked like charred noodles in rainbow colors--red, orange, brown =( =(...no thanks to the auntie who did my hair. terus banned her after tat incident.kena 'suan' by lecturer sumore and dubbed, 'perempuan yang rambut berwarna-warni'. cis. Hence, 1 week after industrial training, I chopped all it off.

'twas the year that I...went for industrial training
I was very lucky to be accepted to undergo my internship with Honeywell Aerospace Services, where our main workload is to assist with the overhaul and maintenance of APU (Auxiliary Power Unit). basically it very fun working for the 10 weeks, in fact i extended my internship for another 10 weeks!! =) learnt a lot from the GM, Mr. Tong and the other employees


Partners in crime-- Hah, Lun and Jenifur (fellow coursemates)

'twas the year that I...cavorted in clubs & met loads of new friends
the best part about KL is obviously the nightlife heeheeeheeeeee. penang
clubs are just so potong..but very homely feeling la,wont feel scared or alienated cos friends/acquaintances are everywhere). In KL, I got to know some really good friends whom I still meet from time to time whenever I'm in KL or when they are in JB


'twas the year that I...lost a dear friend- Yu Ki who passed away on April 2006

'twas the year that I...joined gym for 3 months, lost lots of weight and became a yoga enthusiast
'nuff said. I looked super fit during my stint at Fitness First, losing weight no matter how much I ate. was at the gym almost everyday and god, it felt so good! (dum dum, I didn't take a good picture when I was at optimum weight)

'twas the year that I...gained all the weight back after I quitted gym,and more!
OF COURSE it didn't feel good after that because my appetite remains ravenous, unwhetted no
matter how much I eat...and I stopped exercising completely after uni reopens, maka all the pounds came back..*sobs sobs (I refuse to upload any pictures of my fats =P) as of now, I' a good 5kgs heavier than when I was in gym

'twas the year that I...joined Spirit of KL 2006 and won!
This is definitely one of the best experience ever =) I don't think I blogged abou
t it (no time ar that time =P), but to summarize it, the collages below should suffice. Basically there are 4 of us during the prelims and when we got on to the next stage, we recruited 2 more researchers into our team for the finals. The 4 of us are supposed to do the running and completing the tasks whereas the other 2 are given the responsibility to research on topics to aid us. ahhh. but we won!!!! we didn't think we would, but we did! =) 3 of us are coursemates, 1 from UTM, 1 from MMU and 1 from UTAR..

Prelims where 150 teams participated and only 20 selected for finals
Making banner for team La BambaAmongst the tasks are abseiling and making flower garlandsFinal presentation where we presented a sketchbwahaha. 10k!!!!! (divided by 6 la of course)

'twas the year that I...went to Cambodia and visited Angkor Wat
It was great, a short 4 day trip..or was it 5 days? travelling around Siem Reap and visiting the many many temples. haha. Angkor Wat is breathtaking, the others also were. by the 4th temple, we couldn't distinguish one from another anymore though.lol


'twas the year that I...spent 5 months in KL and loved it~

'twas the year that I..did not jinx the country I supported and Italy won WC'06!!

'twas the year that I...celebrated 22nd birthday & got myself a tattoo


'twas the year that I...went to Thailand and my first backpacking trip
This is an a great trip and I shall defer from elaborating as I'll make an extensive post after I sort the pics (as I mentioned earlier)..now a sneak preview lar of my travelmates and I at Patong Beach, Phuket.


'twas the year that I...spent loads of time with dearest friends and family
love you guys to bits!
Ahhh..a great year..has its ups and downs, but it has definitely made me wiser,fatter and of course, older =P Thus I hope 2007...
  1. Weight management plan to succeed after 12369798 attempts (I'll be naive and set my target at 9kgs)
  2. Concentrate on mastering Yoga (like pao)
  3. Study hard--final semester d, my results are in a precarious situation now
  4. Choose the path to walk on after I graduate
  5. Travel to even more places (Target for this year: Sabah, Australia/NZ
  6. Settle down with someone special (haha, offers anyone? *hint hint)
I think sekian sahaja for the moment...ganbarimasu! =)
