2006 The Year that was

Let's see.. what are the more prominent experiences that happened in 2006..

1. I went to Bangkok for holiday in January, thanks to Air Asia free flights promotion. It was a 100% shopping + catch up with friends trip. Walk till you drop..Shop till you burn a hole in your pocket! Hahaha..but it's Bangkok, the hole was quite minimal.
2. I spent my first Chinese New Year as a married couple in PJ. Last year I went down to Penang. It was a really quite New Year. We slept through the entire 2nd day of New Year. Then again, my husband was sick on that day.
3. Finally, at the very last moment, just before the year comes to an end, Ferns released their long awaited album
4. After months of agony and wait, my husband bought his 'bella' at a very good price. He's absolutely delighted with it.
5. I own a pair of boots. Awww..I wore it out only once though.
6. My first trip to London in November. It's really lovely. hehe. They like to use the word "lovely". I didn't expect to like London as much as I did when I was there. I want to see the rest of England now.. and Europe!
7. Wheee..My brother made me Tiramisu..after I asked him XX number of times.
   
8. Oh, I finally saw a Mola Mola! Unfortunately, it was quite a distance away. Sigh. That's my fault for not swimming faster. But the water was freezing cold! I saw 4 dolphins too..at a distance. They look surreal.
9. My company's trip was to Phuket. It was great fun. After that, my colleagues have banned me from drinking.
10. My husband surprised me the day before my birthday. He was out at KLCC for dinner with his colleague. Then later at night, I got a call from him, asking me if I want to go for a drive. He sounded so happy that I thought he may have been drinking. I was wondering why he sounded so cheerful. He usually sounds erm..melancholy? When I got to the car, there was a bouquet of flowers waiting for me. And a gift. So sweet. hehe. Then we went to Alexis for cake and coffee. My birthday dinner was at Dorae Garden, Korean BBQ at Sri Hartamas. We really like the place.
11. End year disaster - My Mandarin teacher got into an accident. Her condition is now stable. It's really unfortunate for her.... I hope things turn around for the better. We have a hiatus now from Mandarin lessons. Good thing my uncle in London passed me his 'Learn Mandarin' cd and book. I can now continue with my lessons. ( It was an embarrassment when I visited my teacher and I couldn't speak Mandarin to her relatives)
12. It has been decided. We're moving out to a place of our "own". That's something to look forward to in 2007.
