2008: A Flashback

My Gregorian year of 2008 was a tremendous success. The following will be written in point form, since writing in prose form could cost me a spinning head. You can read most of them by browsing through the blog.

January
  • New Year's eve at Brisdale Hotel, KL and a happening yet spinning ride around the city.
February
  • Memory lapse. Can someone help me finding my February memories?
March
  • The general election has no effect on me.
April
  • Bandung-mania month. Our company trip to Bandung, Indonesia has many great memories and adventures.
  • Jiwa kacau.
  • My blog is launched for the very first time.
May
  • MeMo's 4th anniversary! We celebrate at Avillion Resort, PD for two days and enjoy every moment of it.
June
  • Securing a permanent post as an executive copywriter at NSTP after a one-year contract. At last!
  • UEFA Euro 2008 fever. Italia bows out at quarter-final.

  • Fuad's wedding at Kuala Lipis and that crazy adventure to Genting Highlands.
  • My wife's birthday and UiTM workshop at Seri Malaysia, PD.
  • Moving out from Damansara Damai to Shah Alam... lega!
July
  • The year of new machines in black. My mom gets her new Toyota Vios, my dad's new Honda City and mine's Modenas Elegan a.k.a "R-Machine: Super-1".
  • Get involved in the launching of Berita Harian's new compact size. Lebih kecil, lebih terampil.

September
  • The holy month of Ramadhan and endless iftar invitations.
  • My birthday at home with my wife and brothers-in-law.
October
  • The crazy Hari Raya Aidilfitri, first time without my family. Quite sad. Anyway, a great trip to interior Pahang.
  • Crisis of Definite-Earth, my office style. Hari Raya party for all staff. Gotta love it.
  • Our Kuala Terengganu trip. First time with Firefly (FY). Jolly good trip!
November
  • Outgoing and incoming CEOs of NSTP.
December
  • NSTP AdNite party. Craziest, wackiest and wettest party. Gila ah ding dong aihh!
  • Boabarb's and Azhang's weddings. It's reunion time.
  • Me and wife become uncle and aunt to Ahmad Nuqman Ismail on Dec 30.
What a great year it was! See you in 2009.

Khallas.
