Facing the New Year

so, today is 31st of december, 2009

in 45 minutes i can go out from the office and now i have nothing to do..

just reflected back what had happened this year

i got the master title on march (well, the graduation was on april though)
then at that time too, i got the job (lucky me!)

i could get a holiday for almost 3 months (starting may)
and went to singapore for 10 days (bought so many things there and wish i could get back soon)

started my first job on august, now, 1 month till i can finish my probation period (and increasing salary :D)

so much happened this year, feel so blessed for the changing period in my life
and now it's time to face the new year

2010

hope i could go to perth for my training
(and hope i could go to singapore and japan for holiday :D)

hope the hospital i'm in could open as planned before hand (just 4 days after my silver birthday)

hope i could buy a new laptop (the one i'm using now asked to retire *if not from personal money, it can be from the company :D*)

and several personal hopes (naw, i won't write here, i will keep it to myself :P)

have a blessed year everyone!

oh, me will have potluck party tonight ^o^

it's party time!

Book-A-Holic

Last weekend, I tried to reorganize my bookshelves (yes, bookshelves, not bookshelf, because i have about 3 of them) and then I found a piece of paper. a note of the books i bought in 2009.

i made a post about 24 books that i bought per august. (you can see it here)

so, i checked my new collection which i bought after august, and i realized that i had added more than 30 books since then (WHAT??? 8 months = 24 books, 4 months = 30 books? *and maybe still counting, 3 days left till 2010*)
