before 2008 goes away~

little did i realised that i had almost been through 2008...

it's time to reflect on what i had done in a year~

i would say it's a good year!

probably one of those special years for me too~

me accepting an offer for overseas training program

(thinking back.... this was what i really really wanted to try for,

when i didn't even had the chance to apply for it without a degree)

being able to fulfil my initial target now...

AND i got the opportunity to come to US...

US was really not on my travelling destination list,

(UK and Europe are always on my list even now)

until i know i'm going for this training in US and not UK...

i'm glad i'm here....

blogging this entry with temperature outside to be -6 degrees Celsius!

it's a norm for me now...cos it's winter~ haha....

i'm not totally adjusted to the cold though...

*sigh* i'm still catching a cold on and off...

i'm experiencing another totally different climate, culture, people

exploring almost everything around me...

as much as i could reach out to within my limits...

been learning from the 1st day i arrive...still learning,

taking in, understanding and exploring every new thing that comes by~

there's alot of things that had became usual for me here too...

cooking meals for myself and for the group,

enjoys baking cakes, pies and new recipes,

driving a car to work and errands,

going to work in a lab which i feel so comfortable with,

going to a different place for sightseeing over the weekends,

events/activities/festivals going on somewhere at anytime...

there's always something to do...

something to plan on the list next....FUN~

******

when you have pros, there will be cons...

i missed out on many things that happened back in SG too...

nothing stops for you when you are not around~

a few friends' weddings that i wished to be present,

feel and share their happiness at that very moment on that special day!

even for my sister, i wished i had been around to "comment" on her bridal gown and not having her to email me pics of her gown fitting session...

(seriously...there's always more weddings going on when i'm away than when i'm in SG! the SAME phenomena happened when i was studying in Aussie too!!)

so next year when i get back to SG,

most of my friends might either be married or having kids already...

the thought of this is pretty scary!!

eeeeeee....i don't want my friends' kids calling me "Auntie" before i'm married...

i don't mind playing, entertaining or babysitting those kiddos though...

maybe i should be a nanny instead of a chemist!
