2009

it's soon the time for beers, chips, fireworks and a massive countdown downtown again. it is unbelievable. has time gotten by this fast? have i been blinking too much? 364 days then, i was typing a similar post, dedicated for year 2009 and downed my very first (or two! ) bottle of liquor and i should have predicted that 364 days later, i'll be writing one last post before year 2009 ends.

2009 has been quite a memorable year for me. there's tears but it's mostly filled with good memories. just two months ago, pui shan and i were carving pumpkin for halloween and last semester break, we had a fun-filled trip to langkawi, kedah and penang. i have also been living quite healthily-went for badminton and swimming on tuesdays and fridays. yes, healthy unless you minus all the good food i've eaten this year-klang's famous bak kut teh, honey-glazed pork ribs, the highly praised taiwanese food in the gardens, and the nicely grilled, juicy cod fish and salmon fish of tao's cuisine.

my wallet is always in crisis, thanks to my growing appetite and indulgence in food. everyday my friends hear me grumbling about being fat-fat thigh, flabby arms, fat face, fat here, fat there, fat everywhere fat fat! poor this poor that poor my wallet! i am so irrational when it comes to food, i can be on a tight budget this month, but in the middle of it, you will see me cutting lamb chops in chillis, another day will have me sitting at the sushi bar, picking sushi and sipping green tea. with such lavish appetite, i doubt myself that i'll have enough to last the whole semester.

2009 is really a gastronomic year. ahhh!

sigh, with 2009 coming to an end, i suddenly realise that my white digital casio watch is now 1 year old! looking at the watch now, it is as if i am watching a film that's reeled backwards.

i am quite reluctant that this is the last day of 2009, but we must move on! looking forward to a good year ahead. 2010, welcome. i am prepared for you.

a toast to 2010. woohoo!
