2009 Highlights

+ Thesis Defense
      Never again! A hundred thank yous to my partner and our adopted partner. Couldn't have done it without you. ~.~

+ College Graduation
      Now free from school ~ no more gruelling thesis, projects, long exams, and homework = no kapuy (or so I thought...)

+ First Job Hunting
      This experience is very degrading and humiliating. Welcome to the real world.

+ Job regularization
      I feel like I crossed my first huddle. Having finished my project on my own with a little guidance from my counterpart overseas and had positive feedback from higher ups was very rewarding. I actually felt good about myself ^^.

+ Movie Outings with CS Peeps
       This may seem a little thing to others but for me, it was very memorable. Who knew it would be so much fun just watching movies together with a big group then hanging out at Foodchoices or pizza parlors or at Men2x's place.

+ First overnight with college friends (Second overnight in general)
      Though it wasn't a sleep over since we didn't get much sleep. Too many people crammed up in one bed. Hahaha.

+ First song solo
      One word - forced. Having tried it once, I can say that it wasn't so bad...But singing is not really my forte.

+ Laptop incident
      It wasn't really meant for me =p

+ Gua ma passed away
      a very depressing moment for all of us. I will miss her =(

+ Great presents
     People got me really great presents this year. Eventhough I didn't ask them to buy, they bought them anyway. Thank you very much guys :D I will try to reciprocate your kindness soon!
