Wow…….in just a day time, we would bid farewell to 2007, and welcome a brand new 2008!!

Couldn’t help but reflecting on what I have done/ experienced in the past.

So what I have done? Have complied selected pix………

2005

The summer in Birmingham. Then colleagues Tang and Leon are our best friends at work. Having farewell dinner the night before and take pix at the iconic building - Selfridges in Birmingham.

Revisited Lancaster, where I had spent 2 years for undergrad. This is Ashton Memorial - the equivalent of Taj Hahal in India. Lord Ashton built this in memory for his beloved 2nd wife. AAww….that is so sweet!!

Farewell dinner for me. Going home for the summer. With Mendez, Tim, Kossina and John

 

 

 

 

 

 

Winter in Birmingham. Rarely there is snow, but in recent years, snow has become a common sight. Taken this on my way home. On campus

Xmas party gathering

The yearly German Xmas fest in Birmingham City Centre

Allen is going home for good to China. Held a farewell meal for him. Here with the crew of China House.

Chinese New Year Eve celebrations. Previous years I’m always working. This year, I made the exception by taking leave from work to celebrate.

Our table

Can’t do without the lion dance. But pity the dancers who has to performed in the cold

Party time!!

Another gathering. Always find time for gathering. This time in Cheryl’s place

My birthday. A rainbow shining and managed to get this shot at the uni campus.

Been to London on various trips for various reasons. This trip is to meet new malaysians cum photo taking since previous one not so well taken.

Hyde Park (yup, very warm day)

Victoria Bridge ( Pple mistaken this as the famed London Bridge)

Nope, this is not the bridge haha

London’s Chinatown. Not the nicest and largest one in UK

Our little friend, can see them everywhere in the UK, not just London

Summer time!! Finally the time for outdoor activities!! BBQ time! We have more gathering this year due to some of us, including myself leaving UK for good.

Good time to visit the famous theme park: Alton Towers. A must go if you are in the Midlands!

With Michelle, our then Branch Manager and Xiuchuan. She is the best I have worked for, and the other crew in our team.

There are more pix, but i guess that will do for now. I really miss all of you and the great time we had, my dear friends. Do take care!

Happy New Year!

*This is a post dated entry*

Yeah, visited T3 Open house early this month, but only managed to write it now!

I have been there countless of time, but I still accompanied my family there to take a look at our new terminal everybody has been talking about.

I have to admit it is a beautiful airport with lotsa greenery and sunlight.

Departure Hall 

 Immigration

 Giant Fan

Up to today, I don’t understand the purpose of this fan. Anybody to enlighten?

Immigration 

 

We headed for lunch after touring the huge airport. Very tired leh…..

 

After lunch, we went to the viewing gallery where the kids are exciting to see aircrafts.

Hmm…what are they looking at? Look down~

SIA A380 aircraft! 

 Ah…..we made it just in time for the landing of the aircraft! Even seeing it a few times already, don’t know why it still excites me when I see it again!

WOAH…..haven’t been updating my blog for such a long time! Yeah, been super busy lazy ever since I have started my new position in the company. Previously my job scope is to come to work, work and go home when time is up - AND THAT IS IT. Now, even when the time is up, is still work work and meetings outstanding!

What is good about my new position, is I don’t feel as bored as before, the working hours are more or less ’stable’ (with some questionable OT) and fixed days off. But what is not so good is there are even shittier moments that can be stressful. The workload can take up some of your personal life and I can’t move around freely.

So far, I think I’m still coping ok with few shitty experiences but I’m very grateful to my subordinates who have been supporting and giving me advices. Thank you so much my trainers!!!

There are times where I do still miss my previous job scope though that is what pple thought as low paying job. I do feel bored at times, but overall I enjoyed the experience whereby I get to see a lot of different people everyday; I’m not desk bound all day long and get to get around easily. The best of all: during shitty moments, is for that period and then the people involved will disappear and never get to see them again!

So I know there are pple who thought I’m having a good life there….but hey, sad to say, I’m no better than anybody else!!

^^^^^^

Yesterday Xmas Eve, my department arranged for a brunch session and it was quite a gathering from Terminal 1, 2 and 3. For the 1st time I joined such events in corporations. Have quite a good fun amongst stress and work! My section can be such a fun loving group of pple that brought life and fun to the ocassion!

Waiting for our presents!

That is our half day at work: celebrating!!

^^^^^^

My cousin decided to push forward the Xmas party to eve instead of actual Xmas day. Hence our house was threw into a furry of activities to prepare for the party. It was a yearly ritual ever since my 3rd cousin was baptised. Hence, me being in Spore only this year, this is my 1st year joining them.

The presents the children are so eagar to open!

The feast!

It was quite a spread and all the children are all so excited about the party!

Compared to my previous years, my xmas are always working due to peak seasons. Now, it is my 1st time celebrating Xmas with family.

MERRY XMAS TO ALL!
