Last year and Last decade

This one comes after a very long hiatus. So what better to write then for me to recollect my last year and in perspective , last decade too.

Thoughts about myself - Phew! not a remarkable year but a tremendous decade coming to an end. Coming times will bring with it , something know as "Mid life crisis". Get buckled up.

1) Started my engg. career with a relatively new university. 2000 Decision to take engrr as my career option changes the way where I am.
2) Started my professional life. Green paper. Money Honey 2004. First salary completely spent on home.
3) Fell in love and Got Married - 2009.

One way to recollect my memory of last year was through my facebook/twitter account. Social media does play its part in a lot of things around. well, Recency factor -- dont remember the things happened in the beginning of the year, will play its part.

All I can think of are some important things that happened with me in last year and will try to classify them in a monthly manner.

December

Decided to remember my year through FB and twitter status
Very active in Cityville
On a full running spree - health conscious
Had good time with friends in christmas . Got drunk with JD and sang some old songs . Pretty ususal me.
Finally visited lalbagh gardens which I planned from last 6 yrs. though not in flower show time. will try to take out time for the same may be in another 6 yrs.

Confused between IPTV and DTH
Did a movie marathon with biwi finally and did not sleep the whole night.

long time.Euphoria and man that rocked. Daaru and rock show good amalgamation.
How can I forget studying and making notes after 6 yrs I left the college. cleared certification exam. SAP Certified. Feels great,
did something unique , tried getting all my communication addresses changed to one address. Oh what a relief. 90% achieved.

November

November ended on a sweet note of me travelling to goa (mind you for the first time and that too as a married man :P) for my first anniversary. And boy it was a ball of
a time. Loved it and my wife too. :D. Had a taste or rather a bad one of the travel involved in my new job when I came back from philippines and was asked to travel to chennai on a short notice. Even though I had plans for my vacation. any ways, all's well that ends well and managed to sneek from the customer location in due course of time.travelled to philippines as part of my customer project and indeed it was a good time professionally, I would say. Where I got to learn a lot. Customer interaction and handling skills. All classroom trainings go for a toss when you have to get the moneyout of customer's pocket. Its all about being street smart.
Developed some differences in my professional life but yes was new to environment so had a tough time but slowly and steadily it all works.
Tried new brand of beer. San Miguel and boy it was great. also tried very hard to get iPhone4. well try goes on for this year too when I visit china.
