We Make Party!
Ah the first post of the year.
And the previous year ended off on a wild note, as is befit for a very productive and exceptionally wonderful year.
Let's do the usual and have a recollection of 2005.
What was, what is, what could have been and what is yet to come:
January - Moved into Woodford Green straight after a 2 hour train ride from Brussells to London Waterloo. Note: TVM = the train with a big ass speed. Partied at Trafalgar Square with Moe. Did part time auditing work with RGIS.
February - Sick of doing stock checks in the freezing cold and having to endure late nights and lonely treks home through deserted streets, wonderd why i've never been mugged yet. Applied for work at Leytonstone Library. Hired as a Marketing Communications executive at JR Inkjet Ltd.
March - Spring is fast coming. Travelled to Birmingham for exhibitions. Got locked out of a bed and breakfast, slept in the freezing cold with John and Matt after -way- too many drinks and an impromptu movie screening. Classic.
April - Cancelled trip to Scotland, return train rides would cost me more than 24hours and 140 pounds. Life revolved around Tescos, Rainham and the Railway Tavern.
May - Learnt Macromedia Flash from scratch. Produced interactive CD for JR Inkjet with new skills. Shifted seats to share with Becci, Roberta, Matt and Sherrie. Confirmed and got a pay increase!
June - Summer. Hot. Tube becomes microwave. Celebrated birthday with da Prospect people. Got wine from Ratch and gang, CD from Sarah and James, book voucher from Pieter (which i spent on a Japanese lesson) and underwear from Moe (not funny).
July - Tried frantically to download all things Asian from the internet. Hokkien songs, Chinese songs, Jap songs... I miss home. I want my Nasi Lemak. Subscribed to Channel News Asia live feed.
August - National Day. Started www.getben.net. Edmund was supposed to come visit. But thanks to those damn bombs, they've cancelled the trip.
September - Job openings are popping up everywhere in Singapore. Contemplating very seriously about returning. Options, ideas and thoughts were juiced to the very max.
October - The decision is made. I am returning. Edmund, Eugene, alvin, Kiwi, Regina, Hui, Teck, EVERYONE! Damn, it's so good to see everyone again!! So good to speak Singlish again!
November - Started employment at Modus. Great colleagues, great work. 'nuff said.
December - Gathering together resources, embark on a career building plan. Gonna study, learn a new language and update my knowledge of the Asian markets.
Life is great if you can manage it well. There really is so much to do, so much to learn, so much to create and produce. I've got my plans set in place and i'm happy to say that everything is going exceptionally well...honestly!
That's enough now, been lazy...i'm supposed to complete a project for Cassandra. ($100 to complete a 5000 word expository...not bad eh?)
