in terms of professional satisfaction, 2009 couldn't have gone any better (of course, it would have been great if i got a tenure, but then again, it would be awesome if my wallet filled itself, if we could fly @ 200kph, if pizzas were on the official high-fibre detox diet :D)
anyways, the three best things that happened were (in order of importance for me):
1. getting the best paper award at SIGMAP 2009 - I don't know how ;-)
2. getting an average 4.8 / 5 student feedback score for my postgraduate unit Object Oriented Technology
3. getting the teaching excellence award at SIBT and tax-exempt 1000$ to go with it
4. getting my first submitted grant approved (even though it was a tiny tiny grant request :D)
on the personal front, i got to see my sister after 5 years and one of my niece for the first time. I was completely overwhelmed with joy during that entire month.
hope 2010 can be half as awesome :)
