Good bye 2010

Now left 4 more days before 2011 come. So it is time for me to glance back what have happen this whole year for me.

So let see what are the big things that have happened to me(Not in any particular order)
1. Left my lousy old company finally.
Been hoping to left it since 2-3 years back. A lot really happen that keep me tied to this company. Meet a lot of good friend and 2 important girl in my life. But all this is not important, as I have left. I did get a call recently by head hunter company, asking am I interested to go back. The salary offer is not attractive though. Coz it is lower then what the company offer me, when I tender my resignation letter. So when they ask me am I interested, you can guess the answer I will give.

2. Work in one of the highest building in the world.
My company office is at 63rd floor of Petronas Tower (more commonly known as KLCC). Now if anyone of you have seen the photo of this building, you will notice the bridge at between the towers. This bridge is at 41st and 42nd floor and the brige is approximately 58 meter above ground. So estimate that I am around 70 meter above ground when I work at 63rd floor.

So what so nice about working at tall building?

First of course is the view. At 63rd floor, you can see most of KL from the office. And you will be even higher compare to Public Bank, AM Bank and other office around KLCC. Meaning, their CEO is at lower level compare to you.

Second is also related to the view, one normally pay RM500 for a dinner at top of KL Tower because of the nice view. And I can just order McD and eat inside the office enjoying the nice view. Plus I can do it anytime I like. So I can enjoy the morning sun rise view, or the night view. Unlike KL Tower restaurant which obviously won't operate at sun rise time. :P

Third, I kind of got used to tall building view, that I am not particular interested to visit other tall building around the world. Like when I am at Taiwan, other tourist will flock to Taipei 101. I prefer to shop around.

3. Also related to 2nd big thing
My office move from this tall building... :(
And so bye bye to the superb view. I really looking forward to spending new year countdown from my office. I can thus see the firework from the office instead of pushing in the crowd for a better view.

4. Gone for 2 country this year.
First is to Thailand, Bangkok. A very nice relaxing trip. Coz this time I go free and easy tour with destination time etc decided by me and not some tourist guide or agency. (^^)
Second destination is Taiwan trip. It is 8 days 7 night. The trip well not as good as I wish it could be. The food is great. The place to walk is good and the hotel for accomodation is fantastic.
However the tour arrangement is bad. Too much of shopping at "guide recommended" shop. And as you expect from these kind of shop, the item price is a few time more then any other place. Imagine Rm650 for some Royal Jelly Honey. I rather get something better like Ginseng or Bird Nest etc.

5. Hospital operation twice in 2 month time.
First one at October and then second one at December. Both for my left ear. And even now, i yet to fully recover from it. No idea when I can really fully healthy again as I wish.... :(

6. My sister getting married.
Yes, my dear sister finally get married. I am so happy about this. Not coz I love my sister or happy for her. I am happy coz finally no one will be around to fight for PC usage with me anymore. Hooray.
I plan to occupy her room and change it to my private PC Gaming room too. SO I can get a LCD TV with PS3 or Xbox or Wii but bad news for this part is, my mother want to keep that room as her. So that she still have a room in our house. Haiz... I always have a bit of feeling that my mother love and care for her more then for me. Oh well... still no one fight for PC with me is a good thing.

7. World Cup Fever in the middle of the year.
Spain won the World Cup but this world cup is still full of suprise. Well at least it is not so suprise to me. After all football match nowadays is not about everyone doing their best to win the match for the glory of the nation. It is about how to "act" convincingly so that other fans will bet "wrongly" in the game and let the banker win it all. Banker of course will have a share given to these player(This statement is what I believe to be true. I have no proof of that and I am not going to hear anyone disagree with me).

8. Year of marriage
2010 is kind of year for marriage. Friends around me is getting engaged or married. I did not notice the reason behind but now I know. Coz next year is rabbit and next next year is Dragon. If you want to have a Dragon baby, you better get married this year, get pregnant next year.

Anyway, without this reason, it still is year that my peers should start consider about marriage.


Ok that is all I can think of for my 2010. Kind of full of changes and accident with the world around me continue the flow of nature.

So what I wish to do for 2011? I think I should start with making a bit of changes in my life. By officially annouce that I am single available and desperate in FB......

Good bye 2010
