Time Flies When You're Having Fun

I cannot believe that we are already in March.  Every single day seems to fly by so quickly, especially on the weekends!  2010 has been awesome so far, and there's so much more to look forward to.  Now that my schedule is a little bit more settled (no more Chicago for a while - whew!), here's what I've been up to!

Spent a weekend in Chicago.  Delicious food + Awesome company + Visiting new places = An amazing weekend!

Met up with the soon-to-be Lee's at Din Tai Fung

Can't wait for their wedding in April!

I tagged along with singindork888 for his performance at the Acoustic Shuffle event in Torrance. It was so amazing to watch a bunch of talented young musicians do their thing. These guys were able to play any song on command and then improvise to make the song sound even more amazing!




G performed an original song and at the last minute, the two ukelele guys decided they wanted to play along with him after hearing it for the first time.  Talk about talent!

I finally got a chance to visit my good friend and her baby girl Lexi. I absolutely love this little girl and have known her ever since she was 1 week old.  I try to see her a few times a year, and since the last time I saw her, she has grown up so much!  She has the sweetest personality, which I'm sure she inherited from her Mommy.

Happy Anniversary D Dot!

Each year, February 14th is more than just Valentine's Day.  And this year, it was more than Chinese New Year too!  This day marked my ninth year with Deloitte.  Yes, ninth year.  Who said I was commitment phobic?  =)  Looking back, I never thought I would last this long, but the lifestyle and experiences that comes with consulting, however painful it may seem at times, has kept my interest for longer than expected. 

One question that I like to ask when interviewing potential hires is "What is it about Deloitte that interests you?"  Without fail, the candidates will answer "The people" and I couldn't agree more.  Every project I've joined, I have met amazing people from all over the world who make being away from home or not having a life outside of work that much more bearable.  So without further ado, here are the folks (of whom I have pictures with) who have brought so much happiness into my life, who have been there for me through thick and thin, and though some are no longer with the firm, have become my life long friends.  It's been a great 9 years!






 








And last but not least...You are missed.
