am glad I grew out of the very depressing 2007 and everything just took a turn for the better from 2008 till this year, and Im sure 2010 will be as great as it was in 2006, which was kinda one of the most memorable year for me!
I acheieved great things in 2009.. loads of new things in my cafe and modelling agency businesses.. although both businesses were affected by the recession, we thought out of the box to make things work to ensure the businesses tide through the tough period.
At the cafe, we had events like the Flea Market.. I pulled in tenants for the 4 Fleas in 2009, we organised events at the cafe and had loads of promotions so that we could still survive..
At the agency, we branched into providing modelling, photography and studio rental services to online boutiques and businesses instead, as most other commercial clients were cutting back on expenses..
2009 is also the year where I worked my ass off.. tutored 7 kids.. it was enriching, but I was cheated by a tuition agent, and a parent, so I decided that I shouldnt be too nice and dedicated anyway..
So I decided that I should just teach those that I am kinda linked to, and the students of whom parents I know are nice and with integrity..Am kinda sick of teaching, so Im slowly gonna drop them one by one and stop teaching from 2011..

Am becoming more ambitious and am wanting to develop and expand the businesses I have now..dont wanna waste too much time tutoring and being stuck at just that..
2009 was also a year I got closer to more people who mean a lot to me.. My family, Travs Family, and some of my model friends whom I had more time to work with.. For a while, I was worried cos I had no" good" friends cos I seemed to have neglected them due to work.. but Im glad I have a few good girl friends whom I can have girly talk with =)
And come to think of it, all of them are super tall! (Taller than me in fact! )
My birthday was special too! Spent it supporting this giant at his competition.. and after that 4 bodybuilders came to sing me happy birthday at nebo..
Then Trav dearees birthday was a Gluttony one..It's not surprising though..
And most recently my dearest Daddy's 60th! I think spending one's 60th looking this happy is indeed a great acheivement and Im proud of him!
The was also the year Trav and I fell sick together for a whole week! It was fun tho cos we finally had the chance to rest in a very long time.. And a few weeks ago,Trav dearee had some problem with food going down his gullet.. that was the time where i knew he was the one I had to spend the rest of my life with cos I cldnt imagine not having him around me..(mushy, but true!)
Short break in Genting and KL..
Adventurous and more often, boring time in Bali
And the best holiday of the year in HK!
And Fluffy fell ill too, for the 1st time in 8 years! We had to take him to the vet so often and I spent a bomb on him..But looking back, I must say Fluffy was a great bunny, cos he bever gave me any problems and the only other time I took him to the vet was when he reached puberty and I thot his testicles were cancerous tumors..
I also managed to travel a lil in 2009..Had a cold, white CNY in Japan..

But the most memorable thing that happened in 2009 was Trav's decision for us to get married in 2010! The rings, meetings with contractors etc.. am looking to more wedding preparations in 2010 and 2011!
Now that 2010 is here, Im so looking forward to the many exciting things to come!
... the new paper wedding planner competition which will be held next week
... opening new F&B outlets
...managing the businesses on my own
...going back to modelling (something I really hope can happen, finally,after wishing for the past 2 years )
