Best and Worst Moments of 2006 / Sunday, December 31, 2006 @ 9:27 AM
Yay! I am finally here to review the year. I thought it would never come. But the fact that I am here to review the year proves that I am well and healthy and I am thankful for the wonderful wellness that has been blessed upon me.
This year has been particularly challenging for me in terms of personal and business. I find that the challenges that I had to go through was beyond what I expected, but nevertheless, I have always believe that everything happens for a reason so I am still thankful for everything.
So since today is the last day of the year, I am going to review the year and learn from past mistakes so that for 2007, I will start afresh, a little wiser. So here goes.
Category 1:Best Moments of 2006
* Project Planet in January. Not only my students turned heads with their beautiful and wonderful costumes, the event was a blast and we took lots of photos. It was almost like Halloween!
* Being invited for a special session with Steve Van Andel. It was only open for high pins and I was invited thanks to Hamid! The food was so great and I was sitting next to Steves bodyguard. I saw the companys future and I saw me being part of that huge success.
* Attending BSB concert! The 10 year long awaited concert and yes I was at the front acting like a teenager! Haha!
* Sweet gesture done by Nurul for my birthday. I was able to hold back my tears until she gave me that cd,oh man.
* When I learned that I got the job as Special Needs Officer! It felt good because the qualifying process was so long and I am glad I aced it! I finally could leave my shitty job with my heads high.
*When seeing my results for the modules in NIE! Honestly, I have never had good results in the whole of my tertiary education life! In fact I recall having mostly Cs and Ds in poly so this time, seeing all Bs and an A, I was ecstatic!
* Getting to know my NIE classmates! Finally I get to meet people who equally care about children like I do. They rock!
*Raya Gathering with my poly mates. It was cool because we were traveling in a car so thank goodness for that. I guess they know that I will be cranky especially if I had to walk a lot in heels. And no, helping me carry my handbag will not make me less cranky. You guys know me so well.
* Helping my friend Farhanah with her wedding berkats. It was cool because not only I get to date her fat cat named Prince, I also got to watch Season 1 of Prison Break back to back because she played the dvd for the whole season. It is too bad I had to leave early. Ooo..I miss her fat cat!
*When I get to spend time alone with Samina, my mentor. It was only a few minutes but it was nice to be recognize and acknowledge. She also gave me some unexpected advice and powerful words so I shall keep that in my mind all the time. Thank you Margaret for opening doors for me. I cant thank you enough.
* Purchasing and owning my own bookshelf! This has been my dream since I was a little girl. My dream is to convert a room in my house into a library but I guess for now, this will do. Now my bookshelf is right behind my desk (in my room) and its easier to take books and refer whenever I want to instead of searching for them in boxes and creating a huge mess.
* Having a room twice the size of my old room. And I got to paint it purple! Plus a pink night lamp! Did I mention I love my room?
* Spending time with the 2 most handsome twins ever! My little boys from St Michaels, Christopher and Christian were just about to get close to me when it was time to leave the school:(
Category 2: Most Shocking Moments of 2006
* When I came home one day, I was told that my house has been sold! My parents did not even discuss it with me.
* When learning that I had to travel for 2 hours to NIE for classes! Everyday!
*When I heard about what my ex boss said about me! Why I am not surprised? I am still wondering why people like her are even allowed to live. Somebody, bring justice in!
* When I learned about some marital problems my friend is facing. They were so loving. Another friend got divorced. These things make me sad.
Category 3: Most Pissed Off Moment of 2006
* Encounters with my ex boss! Need I list? Ok, leave dispute, bad mouthing, false accusations, isnt it obvious she is evil?
* When people keep postponing their appointments with me. It is ok if it is a genuine mistake but more than once, that just show the lack of respect of my time right? (this also includes people who are not accountable to what they say)
*When my laptop is unable to go online! (happening now!) argh!
* When someone hit my handbag really hard and spoilt my camera and I had to fork out $70 to get it repaired!
* Waiting for bus number 63 from my place to the train station. It takes donkey years for the bus to arrive and I hate being late. Anyone wanna donate a car and a driver perhaps since I have not gotten my driving license?
* Packing before moving house and unpacking after moving. The cleaning up is so frustrating plus I was rushing for assignments so its no wonder I lost weight within this period of time.
* People asking me when I am getting married, over and over again! Gosh, dont worry, I will make sure I announce my plans to get married in the newspaper!
Category 4: Saddest Moments of 2006
* Leaving my students behind. I recalled the last few days at work, I was all teary and whenever somebody behaved badly in class, I would say, 'Dont make me scold you on my last few days here.' The class will go into total silence after I said that. The last day there was so tearful because I know I will miss my dear colleagues and my wonderful students. My students made the last 4 years there so enjoyable and they never fail to amuse me. Missing them so much now especially favourite student Yong Huat.
*Leaving my old house. I really like my old house because the location was so good and I took it for granted all this time.
* Not having anyone to talk to in bad times. Its a tragedy really.
Category 5: Most Bored to Death Moments of 2006
*My trip to Terengganu. We were not allowed to swim and there was not much to shop. I was bored to death!
* The most boring date ever with an over-aged guy who either talks to me about how the air con works or nothing at all. Somebody please stab me.
* Sitting in class for one of the DAS modules, especially the part about the history of the English language. My goodness, I was trying so hard to stay awake. Come on, this is going to help me how?
Category 6: Most Proudest Moments of 2006
* When Nisa when 3%ter. I am always proud when anyone of my team achieved a pin especially if it happened when there were so many challenges around.
* Margaret and Eddie going Ruby. They are my inspiration.
* When Lucas (a 7 year old boy with GDD) came running to me and hugged me. I was so touched. I was not even teaching him but nevertheless I treated him just like he was so special to me.- at St Michaels
* Seeing and meeting the special kids from Katong, St Michaels and Metta. It was a wonderful experience and it does not even matter that they are different from the other kids. I love them all the same.
Wow. I did not expect it to be this long. I guess the year was not too bad for me. I do wish I had done some things differently nevertheless, there is always next year. I had a really roller coaster year and next year is set to be a very challenging year too, but hey, this time I am prepared.
