- My family is in healthy condition the whole year, even my 92 years old grandma.
- My family moves to new home in September, and eventhough I dont live in Indonesia currently, feel really really happy for them.
- Got projects in Bonn, that allow me to spend leasure time with Bernd and Shen. This is really God's blessing, first I got a project at Deutsche Post, then Bernd started his job at Detecon, then Shen moves from the little town, called Euskirchen, to Bonn. Later on, Anu, Janina, even Henning moves to Bonn. Not to count how many other NITers living in Cologne, like Paolita, Weiwei, etc. Wow!
- Moved four times in a year, record breaking! First from munich to a hotel room for a month, second to a garden apartment in bonn west for three months, the two months in a pretty apartment in bonn altstadt, then to the same-house-but-different-apartment with shen, which is just next street to the third one. Busy year indeed, moving stuffs in a radius of 3 km hehehe....
- Got Wii as a very late xmas present at the beginning of the year, and since then, we turned to be gamers, play what ever kind of board or card games all the time in weekends :D
- Great funny holiday in Barcelona with Shen and Bernd in april. Wished could stay longer there, due to the volcano eruption in Iceland - fortunately our flight was not cancelled :D
- Had a quite serious mid-life crisis, thinking what should happen and what should I do after reaching the third decade. Wishes, hope, opportunities.. less chances.. hmm..
- Got proposed on a romantic holiday in Portugal on September 30th - what a sweet gift and it was a wish come true! Turning 30 was not that scary at all. Thank you, baby!
- Two weeks holiday in Indonesia, for Tina's birthday. It's always nice to be back home and celebrate an event with the relatives. Special thank to Tante May Kiem n Thia for helping with the surprise.
- Some weekend car-trips with Shen n Bernd to Kiel (Dennis' summer camp), Switzerland (Gabi and Arturo), Munich via nürnberg (feat.Dennis, Fei). So many food trips to Düsseldorf, esp.the one to Naniwa to meet Wen n Julius. Fun time and good food, just great life!
Finally the three musketeers closed the year by having dinner at Ichiban noodle bar, playing monopoly and Wii Dance2 Revolution while drinking delicious Portwine, and at 12 PM watching fireworks at the brink of Rhine river. La vita e bella!!! Thank you my dear ones :)
