Recounting 2006

this year has zoomed by almost liked it did not happen.

Started the year with a huge bang! Did crazy things like MJ marathon, pineapple tart making frenzy, visited a few new cities, met a few new folks and friendships grew...

Each month had something interesting to offer...

January, alot of anticipation for the new year and what it has to offer. Ad's into his 2nd year of travelling, so he was expected to be away lots. In the lab, I have started a new 6 months study on turfgrass, lots of work, prep and late nights...

Feb was all about gearing up towards CNY, soaking up the atmosphere at Chinatown, queuing up for our favourite Bak Gua and baking our favourite pineapple tarts and of course MJ tournaments!

March was really special! We were blessed with having an expansion of our home! So lots of effort went into getting the expansion unit ready ...

April started with a last min prep for Ad's surprise party and every weekend was filled with "house-warming" parties hee hee...

May was exciting because we went diving! Finally after thinking & talking about it for so long! At last my dive gear gets to smell sea water again. No we din see any of those big giant fish or sharks, but we had tonnes of fun laughing at each other hee hee

June started with lots and lots of rain and the passing of my dad, thereafter, everything was a blurr....

July was a time to get back on our feet, to continue to monitor mum and her needs and also attended ME, a great start to another great part in our lives...

August was unsettling in some ways as the initial blurness of dad's passing has blown over and the pain starts to set in. Good thing we had the opportunity to go away, to distract the mind from running wild.

September was a month when I was physically challenged on the operating theatre, taking the longest time known to Me to recover, Thank God for Ad's patience and loving ways to prepare meals and taking care of everything possible to aid in my recovery.

October was slow, still confine to being at home, but the bed and the tv were my best friends!

November was better, not just because i can move about more, but the restlessness was getting into me to get OUT of the house! So I tried, going around, but always end up feeling exhausted! ha ha ha

December! Christmas! New Year! and now its the END of the year!
