Mr.Smith's 2011

Just when I thought 2010 was mad, it just got crazier as the time goes. 2011 is ending in a few days time and let's take a look.

1st Qtr

What can be a bigger highlight of 2011? Bigger than having your very own startup? Waddup Events Pte Ltd. A new baby started by myself and two others. Although a humble startup but I was blessed and lucky. I was offered warm welcome back when clients started giving me jobs and referral. And point to note none of my current clients are clients from my previous companies.  (P.S: Very much appreciate if you could help me like the facebook link. :x)

And also in this Q i kinda got myself quite a bit of places on the local cyber scene. I was featured on sites like OpenRice, CozyCot and even Temasek Poly!

And of course, the annual event - Twestival! And this time round Waddup was part of it! Coordinating as well as sponsor for good cause!

2nd Qtr

This is a sad Q I must say. I lost. Lakers lost in the NBA playoffs to Mavs who went on to become the champion in a most unwanted fashion. 4-0 Sweep. 

No 6th ring for him. No 4th 3peat for Old Man Phil.

Singapore was nothing but simply the Election. Voting is a secret and I lost. :x 

Like what people say, in life we lost some we win some and I did win quite a bit too. Together with 1stjournal, we did a video for my little Nat Nat and her cold storage run. And of course, with our professional Ideas and equipment, winning it was a piece of cake. 

Social Media was the way for me. Not only did we win the youtube video contest, the company and I was part of Singapore Social Media Day which was powered by a group of youth volunteers and Omy.sg. Very eventful event and I made so many new friends! 

And the best of the qtr has yet to come! It's the arrival of little Marshall! Half brother of Ted! Spent quite a bit of time to get them to love each other and they never looked back!

3rd Qtr

As usual, we always kick off 3rd Q like a boss cause it's my birthday. Although I was really lazy and didn't throw a party this year, no birthday is a low key birthday with Social media tools like twitter and facebook. I think I had almost close to 200 birthday wishes. Longest Post of the year thanks to all the screenshots. Thanks guys! Needed the love!

Talking about love and social media, the girl next door I met on social media became a beauty queen overnight. Valerie sure made me proud. Not too sure how proud I am about here? Here's how proud I am! Yes, I did a post just to show off we are friends. HAHA. 

And of course, another life changing event that happened in my life was joining of Lions Club Singapore. I never imagine joining a community service club. I am helpful within my friends and community(at least I believe so) but I never believe that I would want to serve the community. It started off as a "help" I am giving a special friend but it ended up as a commitment that I pick up myself. It's nothing like joining a community service club in a school, we are talking about the world largest service organization and I am actually part of it. No joke it will take up time but I actually enjoy serving the community as a whole. Go ahead and be shock about it, cause I am just as shock as you are.

Yes, I am a proud member!

Just when I thought 3rd Qtr is more often a quiet one, it just got louder than I thought. I was actually part of Singapore Blog Awards. Nope, I did not win any awards but the company and I was awarded the job to run the event! How cool is that? Working with the omy team is one of the best experience. They are experienced and really easy to work with. And best of all, through this job I manage to meet liked minded people and the hidden gem! Chrispytine! 

4th Qtr

The time of the year I fear most. I can even get depression just by thinking about it. It is the month where I(and the company) earn the most, most tired and sleeps with my tiny eyes open. And all the paper work I am struggling with every day when it comes to account closing. -.- 

I mean on top of work I did have my fair share of fun like attending events, in fact there are too many events to attend in the 4th Q! I am always glad that the guys can come to my events when there are so many events in this Qtr alone. Talking about random events, I suppose the best have to go to International Suit Up Day which was started by my Bro - Barney Stinson. 

This is THE picture of me. 

Most breath taking moment of the Qtr - Nope, not the one where I proposed. In fact I have yet to blog about it cause my video is still not up. *beam at Mr.Ma AGAIN*. it has to be the moment where my little marshall left home! Silly Marshall left home for 5 days and I swear almost half the local social media scene was helping to find him? I got like 7-8,000 blog visits on the day itself and RTs. Too much help. So glad the silly boy just came home after 5 days.

And, bye Kaplan~ Finally graduated from the stupid school after 18 months. Bye Bye Stupid School!! 

Oh ya, back to the proposal, yes, ladies, I am now officially engaged and has a blog - happymrandmrssmith.blogspot.com. We are going to blog about our wedding planning journey and share with other soon to be married couples! Hope it's fun to read and not too boring! :) And thanks for the crazy numbers of grats on my fb wall! 

And of course I was really busy this Dec with jobs and different clients and I guess the one that gets the most attention must be the Haagen-Dazs journey of indulgence. Truly awesome event for both the guys working and those guests on the trip. I sure hope the client felt the same. HAHA. And I am sure they are reading this cause they have google alert for their brand name. :X 

And what is going to happen to us next coming year? I have no idea but I am sure it is going to be much crazier than 2011. This is life, it just gets better! 

Mr.Smith, See you in 2012!
