1, 051, 2000 Minutes

Which is not technically true because we've blogged for over three years now. But since we've started the title the end of last year, we might as well just continue from there. Highlights this year!

Most importantly, we got together with the Chief.

Joined the choir, and this year turned suprisingly very busy. Firstly there's the YKLS Jazz performance, a couple of gigs, then the once-inna-lifetime Lord Of The Rings Symphony.

Bangkok trips! First with the family during Chinese New Year, then later on in the year with a big group o' bloggers.

Aidan joined the family.

First Camland trip with the Taman Tun-ites and we drove Aidan!

Team Layton's first treasure hunt takes fourth place!

Asides from Genting trips, the Chief and us went onna Penang road trip!

Attended our first costume party!

Caught more musicals - Beauty And The Beast and Avenue Q!

Managed to secretly plan the Chief's birthday parties, and had a hand in scrapbook making by making cards for the Chief.

Trip to Spain! And looking back we realize we never did blog about the rest of the days. Added bonus was a quick jaunt into Amsterdam on the way back to KL!

More weddings this year from friends of our age, missed a number of birthday parties due to compulsory rehearsals, another year celebrating Christmas with the bloggers in Malacca and tonight we'll be all counting down to the New Year!

2008 has been a great year, although unlike 2007 where we made new friends and still manage to find time for everything, this year our time was much more limited. We do think that most times when we had to miss some activity 'due to rehearsals' were because of the fact that we'd signed a contract stating that we would attend some 90% of the Lord Of The Rings Symphony rehearsals and spent nearly the 10% on our Barcelona trip and the Chief's birthday, the few other times were because we finished rehearsals late.

Still, we get to make some new friends, although we don't get to hang out as much as we used to with everyone (a sort of glimpse as to how married life will affect social life, innit?), and we'd only so rarely stepped into Mage Cafe or participated in our boardgaming sessions this year.

To everyone, here's to a awesome 2009! Yes, everyone must raise a glass of something alcoholic at this point.

Good recap of the past year. Hope 2009 will be a better year for everyone, and hope that the world economy will be bullish again. But I don't know when. What will be, will be and the future's not for us to see.
