Another Beginning
It's the new year everyone! Another fresh new start.
Have been reading through you guys' entries, I've been missing out a lot. When i first started on OD, i wrote almost everyday. Then it became a daily report of my boring life. Finally, it became a once-in-a-blue-moon affair.
Year 2004 started on a pretty good note, but ended with a glooming note. Being in my industry and especially under a company who is a market leader, it's so depressing to receive the listing of the people who are confirmed dead and checking it against our records. Seriously, given the huge listing, it's immpossible to gauge rthe current loss unless families come forward to raise their claims. But at this point of time, no amount of compensation can make up for the loss of their loved ones.
One of our regional staff is missing in Phi-Phi Island. It's so weird to see her at the D & D barely a month ago, and hearing news of her missing. Life goes on though. There is no one in the company that is indipensable. Reality is cruel. My gang are all gone, they have left for greener pastures, I'm the only pathetic one left to deal with reality. And as i'm typing this, one of the girls in the gang just dropped me an sms to say 'let us pray for those suffering instead of complaining our personal unfortunates. Let's be glad that we can still wish for a better 2005'. Something so simple, yet very meaningful, how did i ever digress to this while i was talking about the disaster???
*Prays* for the unfortunate, may all rest in peace.

Most of you have done a re-cap for the past one year. Lemme see...
I think i'm too lazy to pen them down. Basically, I met a couple of jerks, the guys that were after me have moved on, some or most are attached. Most of my friends are attached. I've survived 1 year in the company, got my 1st bonus, waiting for my variable bonus, and looking for a job now. I've met so many friends in the company, have my own gang, who are now, and soon to be dispersed all over the industry, and some outside the industry. I became a 'sister' for one of my best colleague cum friend for the first time and it bored the hell out of me and it made me realised that i'm always taken advantage of. i've been driving around very often and people are expecting me to send them home. it's been 2 years since i got my license, 2 years since my last relationship, and come May, it will be 2 years since i graduated. I went to Thailand with another ex-colleague, one of the other bestest friend in the gang. It was very fun, but shopping not enough. Planning to go again this year. I also went on a cruise, went to JB, KL & Bintan. This year, i hope to go Shanghai, or somewhere further. If i can find a partner for backpacking then it'll be real cool!!! I also tried wakeboarding for the first time.
There are so many things i did this year, most are memorable, some are stuffs i don;t want to remember.
I hope you guys had a fun 2004. Let's embrace the new year ahead!
