Ah Si's 心窗.....: 2006 Recap

2006 has been a great year to me. Since I moved to KL in April 2005, it's been almost 16 months. A lot of new experiences which add spice to my life and also much learning curves which shed lots of tears.

Thanks to my Father who guides me all the way and blesses me abundantly always.
Thanks to my Family who pray for me and supporting me always.
Thanks to my Big who encourages me and strives for our better life always.
Thanks to my Friends who are willing to listen and help always.

Here's the recap of my memorable 2006...

JANUARY
I offered Big's sister to look after her precious son so that she can shop freely for CNY but look what I got her son into. Poor Timothy...I was just walking a few steps away from him and he thought I'm playing hide-and-seek with him. He ran so fast to towards me and never realize that I was on a lower floor. He landed on his forehead and when I hold him up...he became like this (look at his forehead):

Poor Timothy!

The rest of the day he keep tapping his chest...meaning "I scared".
I feel guilty lo...'no face to see him'... Ha ha!

FEBRUARY
My favourite festive season, Chinese New Year.

Once a year I bake cake using my mum's super old oven. My cheesecake bake from this oven is so niceeeeee until mum's colleague even order one from me for RM 40. Well, the next year she never mentioned again (*_*) Then I realized....the best cake I made ever is on the first time I started baking.

Queenie, my best friend's daughter. She spits out anything that she doesn't want to swallow and slaps you if she's not happy with you.

My first Yee-sang.

MARCH
Training in Bangkok. Each year I met new friends from overseas. This year I met Su-Kyeong, a beautiful Korean young lady. Surprisingly... more people think that she is Japanese and I'm Korean???

Su-Kyeong and me

Colleagues from Korea, Taiwan and Singapore. We became buddies and still keep in touch even until now.

See the big size ang-moh at the back in blue and yellow shirt, they are our trainers.

Company annual dinner...The most memorable dish is Ah Yat Abalone. Cos the goose claw taste better than the abalone.

And my first taste of Buddha Jump Over The Wall. Still don't know why this dish is costly. I only know I found chicken skin besides abalone, sea cucumber, etc...and this already spoil my impression of this great dish for Emperor.

APRIL
A big issue happened at customer side and I have no peaceful nights for almost 2 months.

MAY
To be a healthy Ahsi, I decided to sign up for fitness membership.

JUNE
Company trip to Bali despite volcano eruption. Bali is a beautiful island with rich culture and art. But we have some bad experience of been chased after by groups of adults and children into buying their crafts.

View from airplane. Can u see the smoke?

JULY
This year is the 7th year after we graduated from STMS (Short Term Missionary School). Because we are the 7th batch, all 42 students 'pledged' that we shall gather again on 7th July after 7 years.

Everyone is scattered everywhere in the world. So we started from those staying in KL. The grand gathering will be on 2007 CNY at Sibu.

Dinner at San Francisco Steakhouse

We start our gathering at 2pm, have so much to talk until we finished at 11.30pm. Non-Stop!

AUGUST
Church camp at Port Dickson.

Joey, me and Mei Ling

Joey is a beauty editor for a famous magazine. Basically she don't need to spend a cent on those newly launch skincare and cosmetics products we see in magazine. Cos they'll call her up and offer her to test and write about their products. So nice.... We also call ourselves as 'Gou zai dui' (Meaning Paparazzi in Chinese).

SEPTEMBER
Penang trip with colleagues. Althea and Ah Kok is coming up from Singapore to join us.

Must-go place in Penang cos mum is a nutmeg lover.

OCTOBER
Long awaited month...
Back to Sibu to celebrate Mum's birthday and Mooncake Festival. As I haven't been back for sometimes, I really miss the local food which no where else can be found. As our normal practice, we'll go out for breakfast every morning. My family also very keen to bring me around so that I manage to eat all the food that I have been missing.

My arrogant Miao Miao. Never want to see me when I take his photo.

My horny Brownie. Always go out flirting and don't want to come back. So we normally just lock him outside the house.

NOVEMBER
Have 2 new process installation in Melaka...spend almost the whole month there. This month I really drive a lot cos need to bring our collegues from US, Thailand and China around. Got more familiar with the historical town. But what I miss more is still the food!
