2012...

The past few years of my life has been a real roller coaster with the exception of 2012 which has been pretty good for me and I am very sure that it is the start of many more to come. The past few years saw me rebuilding my life. It was like 20 years ago... starting from scratch... the only difference is the age and the existing liabilities...


I started 2012 by quitting on cigarettes, yes... yet again. I needed to justify my need for a MacBook Air and RM10 x 365 seemed like a good way to start saving.



On 19 January, I bought my MacBook Air... after many years of waiting and contemplation for the right moment. This acquisition was co-sponsored by the Autodome team... they contributed half the price.


Then two days later,  I proposed to my wife... every woman's dream... to be proposed to properly. I learn from mistakes...













Then I made the leap of faith and Ammar Kevin Eu was born on 26 January 2012.


On 1st February I started my new posting on 'Alcatraz'. I made the request for the move. I had one more year to go on my agreed term with the owner but my request was granted. I had rejected the move here many years ago so when I accepted the move with no questions asked, my boss was surprised. He asked me, "How come?"... so I told him... for the same reason I rejected it the first time... gut feeling... I am trusting my feelings.

I have learnt to trust my instinct 100%. The last two times that I ignored it, I paid dearly... and after the second one... there will never be a third. I will always trust my instinct here on.


On 21.02.2012... in one breath, we were solemnly sworn in as husband and wife. My wife did most of the arrangements as I was working in 'Alcatraz'. She did an excellent job, I must say. Simple, elegant, memorable and within our simple means.  


Our first Hari Raya as a Muslim couple and I am proud to announce that I completed one whole month of fasting officially as a Muslim.

In October, I received notice that my case was set for mention in the Industrial Court. I was really happy as my colleagues received notice stating that their cases would not be represented. I guess it was probably because they did not request for reinstatement.


We only managed to go for our honeymoon in October. It was the longest holiday for me and also my wife... we did Ipoh - Cameron Highlands - Tanjung Jara - Kuantan - Kuala Lumpur - Morib - Ipoh over a span of two weeks.

November was not too good coz that was when I learnt of my high cholesterol and pre-diabetes condition.

But we closed the year with a bang... literally... with fireworks... the new year was ushered in with fireworks but we also set an all time high in revenue here. I seem to be setting records everywhere I go. Something I intend to continue doing and in 2013, we will break the record we just set and make sure nobody beats it for the next few years.

And to complete our lives... there's only one item left that my wife and I wish for... and In Shaa Allah, with everyone's blessing it will materialise soon.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
