2010 AT A GLIMPSE


Joined the dance competition in Jakarta, though I didn't win any trophy, but we received a free trip and some cash back for shopping. We were in top 6 in the competition. Not bad though. I bought my Sony Camera after a while consideration and blinked it up to satisfy my blinking addict, at the same time, I sold my old Sony Camera and an extra Acer laptop. I'm such a good buyer and seller, am I not?. Did the first music video with Mirage Film "Autumn Leave" one of my most favorite songs of all time.


Here I am! Look beautifully sad in the video, lolz.
Featured on Mediacorp Channel5, the TV show called "Sport@SG" for 2 minutes about my dancing activity. The actual shoot for that 2 minutes video took us 2 hours and a half to complete. 
I flew back Vietnam for Chinese New Year celebration with family. I looked happily in the photos but, in fact, I was at the worst time of  my life. I just lost my job. A company I worked for decided to quit the project I was handling due to business loss. I had no clue what should I do next? Stay or leave Singapore? If I stay, where should I stay, if I leave, where should I go? This was the most stressful and headache situation ever. I hate it and until now, I don't know where could I get so much energy, motivation, strength to sustain and solve it. But I did!

Realizing my original degree certificate was stolen, and I knew who did that. But having no proof is not going to help me anything. Before I lost other things, I had to move out as soon as possible. Thank God, I managed to get a verified true copy from my old university. 
Attended Singapore Entertainment Awards 2010 invited by omy.sg, a Launch Networking event for all actors, actress, media people and Singapore Blog Awards 2010. My blog was nominated in Best-Modeling Category but somehow, it was just humbly stopped at the nomination level, will try harder for the next year.


Broke up!!!! -_- I considered my breakup to be one of the 1% rare case in the world because we are still good friends of each other until now. Break up in peace! Then few months later, I got a new job, and everything went smooth as what I prayed it to be. Life is still very fair to those who has a good heart. One door closes, the other ones will open. Just have to keep your mind clear and your heart pure.

Was invited as one of the lead dancers to do the video shoot for an MTV music video by Monkey KingChanged my dance partner by chance and luck, and he is so good! I love dancing with him. Also, I slowly stepped into a new relationship. Went to Hue (Vietnam) for the first time to watch the biggest Hue Music Festival. I won lots of money from playing games the casino in the hotel there. FREE trip!


Won Championship in an International Dance Competition in the dance competition with my new partner in Singapore after three weeks practicing. It was an amazing moment for me to turn into professional in dancing yet achieved something from the first attempt.


Se7en1nch was opened after a month plus renovating and preparing. It's our new joint, new home, new playground for all of us who drinks responsibly and not puke out all over the place like others. 

Beautiful photo of Se7en1nch taken by me. 
Traveled to Thailand with Keef for his annual praying to 4 faces Buddha, I've never been there before and I heard lots of stories about the super powerful Buddha there.

Thailand is amazing with many hot spots, nightlife activity, delicious foods and especially lots of stuffs to buy at a can-not-be cheaper price. I love Bangkok! Will visit it again.
Got an iPhone and two iPads. Flew back Vietnam again to attend my brother's weddingMy God! It was like an event of the year kind of thing. I, Dad, and Mom were happy that my funny, immature brother (to what Dad always says about him) has finally got married.

Picture to prove what my Dad saying is always RIGHT.

There you go, a happy family photo without my Dad because he was busy with guests. 

Halloween party at SE7en1nch!!! It's also one of the most looking forward to attending party of the year. For the first time, I dressed up and celebrated Halloween as a Vampire Queen.

Made my Halloween costume. 
My happening 26th birthday party! I had three birthday celebrations with different groups of friends on different days and the biggest one I threw out was at Se7en1nch. Dance, drink, drunk, and laugh are what we all did to celebrate. Must say a big thank you to my dearest boyfriend again for his understanding and supporting me, always. 

Wanted to get a Boo dog so badly, but I couldn't do so. Hence, I could only adopt, talk and dream about him on my blog. Another reason is, I couldn't take care of him because I'm always out of the house almost 18/24 hours a day. So, it's not a good idea to keep Boo starving at home alone and what if he might fell down from our balcony. FHM bikini contest and SOL beach party,

Bought for myself a new glasses to wear...at home. Fanpage hits 1500 plus fan, party at Se7en1nch again for the Curtis King live show and most importantly, my honor two full pages interview with SauceInk magazine.

That what I have gone through for 2010! I must say, it was a tough and challenging yet very eventful year for me. I faced many difficult situations in which I thought I should have given up. Tear, sadness, sorrow, worry, anxiety, release, happiness, and surprise... all came in a different shade, moment, and circumstance. And I'm very happy that I did not give up so easily that time. Else, I wouldn't have had what I'm having today.

Every cloud has silver lining! After a heavy stormy day, sun will shine above us. Just keep telling yourself not to give up, you'll reach the destination in the end. So far, I'm happy with my 2010, what about you?
And now, I'm looking forward to a better 2011. You'd better be! :D

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!!!
