I started 2009 by having a party with So, Rossy and Stefan at Luna, Xintiandi Area Shanghai.
With hundreds of text messages, and some phone calls, and glasses of drinks, it was FUN.
I end up drunk and threw up at Luna's toilet, stand in the queue waiting for taxi for 2 hours with So, Stefan, Rossy and Lidia.
So-Me-Rossy
Lidia-Stefan-Me-Rossy
Then in the end of January I went home, and Bill came to visit, I introduced Bill to my big family on the CNY, we got lots of Hongbao, and here is some pictures :

July 11th, 2009, I got myself a Tattoo !!!!!
I got it at Shanghai, Maoming Rd, with Irene accompany me.
I've always wanted a tattoo, and I've spent soooooo much time to think whether I should get it or not.
I finally did.
Here it is :

It is a fairy (even though lots of people see it as a butterfly... T__T)
My parents been so cool about it, they heard me talking about tattoo since I was in the college :p

Meeting some friends :)
Our New Family :)
At the wedding party
And we got an addition in our little family, Muffin
We celebrate our 3 years anniversary, and My Birthday and Christmas together.
At the end of the year I wasn't so healthy. I catched a bad cold, went to doctor on Christmas day, and she told me to get a 3 days Iv. So I did. My first IV ever, for a cold !!!!
Working Life
SUCKS ! It made me drop more tears than ever before.
So much more responsibility, more things to do, and more scolded.
But in the other part, my relationship with our partner's is getting better.
I made friends with Danilo and Matteo,
I called the export department more, and they get to know my voice now! :D
In the end of the year I made a mistake which drive me crazy and I almost lost my sanity.
Everything settled now and I will just do better.
I went to Beijing to take care of the exhibition, and got some fun time with Matteo and Danilo when we're covered in the dust to see the booth progressing, and plus Alberto when we went to the electronic market !
And Yeah, I saw sex action life, and I heard them too !
Woohoo !!! T___T"
