I think this is like the first time i go through the blog posts in a year to come out with a summary post like this to wrap up what happened this whole year. Less eventful compared to 2008 but as crazy as ever!

So yah here it is…

January 2009

Started my year attending this Nokia5800 Xpressmusic launch at Pavilion with a whole bunch of bloggers surrounded with food & drinks and of course, the phones.

One day after the launch, i went to Zouk for Armin Van Buuren with the usuals.

and OH we celebrated Yat’s birthday at Zouk! When he still have his long hair ahaks!!!

Not bad for the start of a new year huh?

It was one of the very, uber, paling, hen, sangat, most awesome-est CNY ever for me meeting lots of friends but sad to say that my Ang Pow money didn’t really increase thanks to the OH-My-GAWD-RECESSION-IS-HERE tragedy.

Chinese New Year 2009 rawks!

Then uh oh the last exam in TARC was in Feb!! Now only i remember!! LOL!! That kinda marks my last college days then.

Celebrated Zoe’s birthday and of course Valentine’s Day, how could i miss that day <3 !!

By end of Feb, i received one of the best letter in my mailbox with one of the best news in my life!!!

March was. Hmmm.

Going overseas for the first time in my life skipping one of the most important birthday ever for this dream trip to Old Trafford. Quite a hard decision if you ask me!! I won this trip thanks to Mister Potato. =)

Appeared(not featured!) on TheStar newspaper for the first time as well LOL along with Malaysia’s top blogger Kennysia if you can identify us the picture haha thanks to the trip to Old Trafford then.

2 first time in a month. What more can i ask for?

Click it! -Manchester Travel Log 13-16 March 2009

Apart from that, i attended Zouk’s Fantasy Five and had a few sessions with the usuals for Nuffnang Music Bash ’09.

Being in some kick ass costume for the first time appearing in front of a bunch of bloggers seems like quite an awesome experience huh? No it wasn’t!! I was freaking nervous!! It was the Nuffnang Music Bash ’09 on the 4th of April.

Then there was this Quiksilver Roxy fashion show at Mid Valley and the Launch of MINT Magazine.

Oh and the best thing that happened this month was DGMB 1st Anniversary!! Some awesome people who gathered together in some random Bloggers Movie Meet back in 2008. You guys still rock my socks!!

Started my May 2009 being surrounded by Angels and Devils thanks to LG Haha.

Went to this concert MY MUSIC 环球新声live爆 that featured artists such as 梁文音 Rachel Liang,高以爱 Alisa Galper,神木與瞳 Y2J,魏如昀 Queen Wei,潘嘉丽 Kelly Poon,大嘴巴 Da mouth and 方炯镔 A Bin! It was a blast!! <3

Crazy YumCha session at Murni SS2 after Tiger Standout Party. Some record breaking session of “Tiger” Book of Records i think.  =X

Graduated from college!! One of the most important day in my life. =)

Had the chance to catch Manchester United playing against Malaysia at Bukit Jalil twice, here & here!

The car that bang me…

and got into this Car Accident which i was thankful i was not dead!

Oh and we celebrated Nigel’s birthday in this month!!

Went to watch Eason Chan 陈奕迅 concert live in Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach, just one day after the MTV World Stage took place on the same exact stage!

Had fun decorating KL Monorail in some flashmob held in conjuction with Malaysia’s national day. Merdeka!

Decided to stop blogging at joshuaongys.blogspot.com and got my own domain up and running, like finally!

Escaped Malaysia and headed to Bangkok to meet Tata Young. Some really crazy press conference at an AIRPORT RUNWAY!! =X

Celebrated a couple of birthdays as well.

June 2009 is an important month for me as my graduation day falls in that specific month. Then in October 2009 itself, she graduated! Am extremely proud then. =)

Apart from that,

H-Artistry at Quattro was the bomb!

Caught some Playboy Bunnies at Midvalley and celebrated Miss Goh’s birthday!!

One of the best trip that ever happened, though its just Port Dickson. =)

With secondary school friends that is.

Posted up this blog post which created quite a buzz weeks later. Thanks to some specific Drama King, CEO of a few companies kononnya. So that’s WHAT a CEO does! Extremely amusing i must say.

Attended Youth Engagement Summit 2009 thanks to a friend. Inspiring speakers but not engaging enough i thought.

DECEMBER IS AWESOME!!! THE MOST HAPPENING/DRAMATIC MONTH OF MY ENTIRE LIFE!!

HA.HA.

First i won a phone.

Then, i went to Old Trafford for the second time in 2009 to watch a live match again! This time with VIP treatment, won this trip Thanks to Smirnoff. =)

Click Click – Manchester Travel Log 10-13 December 2009

Went on court and defended myself because of the accident back in July which i insisted that i was the victim refusing to pay the summon. Quite stubborn i must say but it resulted and ended in quite a funny way. =)

Met Taiwan Supermodel Lin Chi Ling in person!!!

Had quite a birthday thanks to Facebook and of course the people around me!

Had one of the most fun Christmas party in recent years!!

and spending time with her <3.

Apart from those good things i’ve been through, i had shits as well. Thanks to the Drama King who wants to sue me as well as my stubbornness in not giving in to the policemen who insisted that i was wrong in the accident back in July.

These 2 shits were the biggest ones i’ve faced this year and of course there were other shitty stuffs that i didn’t really share it out here in this blog and it will remain there behind my back when 2009 ends.

Nevertheless, this year have been a fruitful one with a few lessons learned and hopefully i could grasp them all sealing it in my brain. 2009 is kinda like the last year i can go around making a fool out of myself being stupid doing crazy stuffs where in 2010 i can’t really do so anymore.

Am really grateful with the people around, friends and family and of course those readers who follow my life here in this blog. Thank You.

With that, i shall end this post with the best thing that happened to me in 2009, probably one of the best in my life as well!

Taking picture with Manchester United’s first team players. How on earth would i imagine this before 2009 came, and now 2009 is going off soon already, sometimes there’ll be amazing stuffs that will come along your life, so complaint less, appreciate more and be thankful which is one important thing that i’ve learned. =)

I LOVE MY LIFE!

HAPPY NEW YEAR PEEPS AND MAY THE YEAR 2010 BE A SUPERB YEAR FOR ALL OF YOU OUT THERE!!!

3. Christmas 2009 – WWJD

Just came back, went online, opened a few MSN chat and 90% of the people were asking “Eh, why aren’t you out?” I LOL-ed and asked back the same question and there goes part of my Christmas Eve 2009.

Was out earlier for church caroling in this house at Jalan Ipoh. Just one house this time and with that i realize i wasn’t doing this whole caroling thing since years ago already. There were years that there wasn’t any caroling plans by church, if not then i had my own plans with some friends.

Had this warm feeling i once had then when i heard fellow church members singing to the Christmas tunes. No i didn’t participate in the singing, instead i was just like being a listener enjoying it. =)

So while everyone is busy partying out there, downing who knows how many glasses cheering and shouting with their friends, here am i typing this post out. =)

What is Christmas all about then?

If you’ve attended any Christmas service in any churches in the past and DID pay attention, i’m sure you’ve heard of this passage before.

John 3:16 ‘For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.

For Christians, Christmas is one of the best day to spread the Gospel out talking about the Salvation to the people around.

*saying a prayer for a fellow old church member

As for me, personally, this year’s Christmas is more about reflecting my relationship with God then, of course, showing some love and blessing people around me is what Christmas means to me as well.

God have been generously good to me all these years and especially in this year itself, i’ve been blessed numerous times where some some of them are bigger than i could have imagine!!

That pretty much reminds me that in the past few years, i didn’t really get anything nice stuffs for the ones i love, and so i used some of the money i earned with the job i just started a few months ago and got some nice stuffs for them.

What have you done this Christmas then?
*sorry lah for some friends out there, i’ve got some expensive stuffs for the ones i love (my family) this year so no Christmas pressie for you, you & you then, i still love you, don’t hate me ok??!! =)

3. 2009 – ITS BEEN A CRAZY YEAR!

Imagine this, sitting by a lake at a cafe enjoying yourself with a few of your friends. With some snacks perhaps? Fried Sotong?

Or maybe some Pizza?

Sharing thoughts and stories with a few laughter in between with friends where its like ages since you guys last met each other having never ending topics going on and on through out the night. Awesome right?

Then comes the highlight of the session, having a nice drink that would make the whole session more enjoyable. Probably some Heineken? Or Tiger Beer?

Well after all, its Oktoberfest!

Alright if you do not know about this yet, its never too late then!!

Oktoberfest celebrations in Germany are known as the largest public festival held yearly on Theresienwiesen in Munich, Germany, upon which gigantic tents are built accomodation some 6 million visitors each year. As the years went by, Oktoberfest were modernized as an occasion to get together with friends and family to enjoy the best beers brewed, it became a worldwide celebrated event.

For the beer drinkers, here’s something that would interest you!

In conjunction with Oktoberfest this year, Guiness Anchor Berhad (GAB) has lined up fantastic promotions for Tiger, Heineken, Guinness, Anchor, Kilkenny, Strongbow, Paulaner, and Anglia Shandy at participating outlets and retailers!

Which means from now till 15th November 2009, you can enjoy the following promotions from GAB :

- Pick up a six-pack of Tiger Beer and get 30% off a six-pack of Anglia at “Giant” Hypermarkets.
- Purchase 2 six-packs of Tiger Beer for the special price of RM52.90 at “Tesco” Hypermarkets.
*RM53/(2×6) that’s like Rm4.50 for one Woots!!!

Of course, that’s not all, the other promotions and goodies are out there at the participating F&B outlets in the Klang Valley, i’m not gonna mention the place as those of you who frequent such places should know about it!!

So, you beer drinkers out there, do head to the places you usually hang out and enjoy promotions offered during Happy Hour where throughout the Oktoberfest season, you could enjoy special pricing of Tiger, Heineken, Guinness or Anchor Draught beers and some of the outlets might give you a surprise with some irresistible snack combos!

Onion Rings Anyone?

Cheers!! =)

This year’s CNY RAWKS TO THE MAX!!! Woooohoooooooooo xD

Heeeeeeee!!!

Seriously i never had so much fun in a CNY for quite some time already. I can say that this year is the best in the past 5 years. Not to mention, i had Exams during CNY as well and that adds more to the “exciting” part of this year’s Chinese New Year. Haha.

Before CNY started officially, i was out with 3 lifeless people counting down to CNY in Cheras Macdonalds. A pretty good kickstart to an awesome CNY lolx.

Then, on the 1st day of CNY, i went out on visitation with my family. A somewhat yearly thing to do during Chinese New Year.

then, on the 2nd day of CNY, i was really happy as this is prolly the first time this happened. It was one of the day that i will remember in the years to come as it is a very very special day. She came back from hometown and had dinner at my house. Yes, that alone is pretty memorable for me already. and this very day played a very important part in making this year’s CNY special. Nuff Said. =D

The 3rd day was spent with some of the DGMB-ians @ Pavilion. As we don’t really get to see Sheon much often, so while he was in KL for the week, we had a meet up with him. Having our lunch at Nando’s and doing a few rounds of window shopping in Pavilion…

and we ended up in Starbucks in the later afternoon of the day. Playing a few rounds of cards at Starbucks was pretty fun and it was a whole session with lotsa fun. Well being with these peeps is always fun! The others proceeded to Nigel‘s house while i went on to find my girl. Lolx

The later night was spent with Chee Hwa at a nearby Cyber Cafe. Gosh. It was really tiring….

Why it was tiring, because we played games at the CyberCafe the whole night where we will have our small little secondary school friends gathering. Didn’t really get much sleep and woke up all excited because we don’t really go out as often as last time already.

First stop was at YuetMun‘s house where as usual was spent doing nothing much except for talking and laughing here and there.

We didn’t stay long at her house as we were pretty hungry, so we headed to McD BSD for lunch and met up with ChinKent over there. Though there were less people compared to the previous years + we don’t really meet that often already, we still managed to make a lot of noise there.

Furthermore, there was this kid which was with his family sitting at a table outside of the McD entrance and for a couple of minutes, he entertained us making us laughing and people around us was already looking at us weirdly. Lolx

After the lunch, we headed to ChinKent‘s place where we were welcomed by his dog. A very very well trained dog who can climb wall! See one of the picture above as proof!! HAHA. As usual, ChinKent showed us what his dog can do and we still get amazed with it AGAIN eventhough we saw it before in the previous years. The girls was impress as usual and they played with the dog as well.

Rounds of Blackjack and Rami were played till it’s time to go to the next house.

Next, we headed to Melissa‘s house and we enjoyed looking at the photos we had back in secondary school last time. We were all so different from that time and we recalled back a few memories we had together. Gah, signs of becoming older already. Darn.

Yoke May‘s house was the last stop where we stayed there for quite long. Playing the same stuffs, Rami and BlackJack wasting our time waiting for dinner time to come. Had steamboat for dinner and it was a pretty full session. Buffet Steamboat. xD

The later night was spent chatting and talking and discussing with YokeMay & YuetMun about lots of lots of stuffs from East to West and Heaven to Earth. Yea not Hell.

It was a really really great fellowship!

The next night(Friday), i headed down to Sg Buloh to Steven‘s house and was shocked finding around 16 people there. 2 sides, one BlackJack session, one Mahjong session. It was a crazy night that where i witness some friends being like one of the Football Club’s manager, getting extremely happy(winning money) and extremely sad(losing lotsa money) multiple times within half an hour time. Played basketball the next morning!! Awesome. Haha.

then….

From CNY day 6 till 9 which is 31th Jan - 5th Feb, i didn’t really go out as i forced myself to stay at home to study for exams which is on the 3rd and 5th of Feb. This short period of time was really “exciting“. An Awesome time.

Straight after my last paper, i headed to Hartamas SOULed OUT for this CHAP GOH MEI celebration they had there with 5 other bloggers. The later night was spent with 6 guys in a Karaoke session. NO i’m not a gay wtf. Lolx

Slept till like 5PM Friday on 6th Feb 2009. Had dinner with my girl and sent her to the bus station as she’s heading back to her hometown and i spent the whole night playing NFS Undercover & Dota lmao. Played basketball after that without sleeping. T_T

Attended the birthday party of this cute little girl, Zoe with lots of other bloggers. Went to Cat Got Your Tongue 4 at Palate Palette later in the night. GAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Finally got to sleep when i’m back from CGYT which was like erm…. VERY VERY LATE. =X

The next day was the best!! Had a visitation session with some of the DGMB-ians which include a few places like Gombak, Cheras, Kepong, Klang and Ara Damansara. A pretty crazy trip where we had Home Made Spaghetti for lunch, Klang Bak Kut Teh for dinner, had lotsa gambling sessions and the whole thing lasted from 2pm++ till 2am++. Lolx.

and i can’t believe it just happened like just now… Heeee!!! xD

The very last day of CNY is here already. Was out with 2 college mates ChinYen and YewJoe in the early hours just now spending time at a nearby mamak stall. The original plan was to have DimSum at Jln Ipoh but both the DimSum place was on holiday. Gah.

Amazing aite?

Prolly the best CNY i had ever haha. Alright that’s too exaggerating lolx. Hehe. Well I do hope that many of you out there had an awesome CNY. =)

Oh and yea, i’ll be making a more detail post on SOULed OUT Chap Goh Mei, Zoe’s Birthday Party, Cat Got Your Tongue 4 as well as the DGMB CNY Visitation trip!!
