had a simple tuan yuan fan on cny eve. finally the full family present under one roof. little jon brought us together i guess. bcoz of his constant attention, bro had to move back with us... juz in time for xmas onwards. its more crowded here now. babysitting can be so fun.. but onli sometimes. hahah its so cute watching him smile and laugh. the innocence and pureness in the laughter... something that gets lesser as we grow up.
anywayz.. reunion dinner was realli simple but with yummy and rare dishes. read more of twilight before going to simz place after that for more snacking and tv-watching. left at midnite coz she had to wake up early the next dae... so nice of her hosting us and filling us to our brims! next, made a trip to river angbao which ended up closed! how come so early? midnite finish? it used to be like till 2-3am! disappointed lo. so after much tu-ing.. managed to find a suitable movie & timing available.. & we rushed to the cathay. practially chionged there. managed to get there juz in time to book tix, buy popcorns & went in. inkheart... so fantasy! nice and touching i felt. missed a little of the front... so started off abit lost. but overall its nice.. of course with a happy ending.
chu1 was the regular visiting... greeting.. eating.. toking. was back after lunch... alwayz tired out after that. its a weird trend. had dinner home before popping by at river angpao for some snacks then going for mj session at vie's later. great start to cow yr... won a little. looks like not a bad yr after all the predictions. keke next dae had a hard time waking up. the usual morning visit to dad's fren's place on chu2. but rushing back a little coz expecting visitors. its fascinating to see relatives/nieces/ cousins all growing up so fast. u see them onli once a yr.. & u can realli tell the difference.
went to karen's place for our ny gathering... happens every yr. but this yr with some partners.. so not entirely ny pple onli. it'll be great if can gather all ny pple.. new, old, into a big reunion. how great.. but its alwayz hard to gather all together. oh well.. juz make do with the best we can. played wii while we waited for more to arrive.. then steamboat. food was great.. especially the cheeze toufu! too much excess though. wonder if they eventually finished them while we fishes went to pick up the other balance beam. keke ban luck... 2 rich bankers at the end. they realli in luck lo! its weird that not many lose... & they won so much? someone's maths must be wrong. haha went to catch wedding game at midnite... occupied the whole row. i expected the show to be meaningless... but it turned out not bad la. proves that lower expectations brings about more satisfaction. hehehe
more visiting this sat.. jc gathering too. last week flew past.. this week's gona end soon. argh!! i'm getting nervous. onli left a few more daes to enjoy! make the best of it! mOooooo...
todae is the day. finish up the last bit... & went for a final lunch. it was supposed to be my treat.. but they insisted. oh well.. its my turn the next time we meet for catching up ya? i am bad at saying goodbye... i don't have parting speeches to make.. juz a simple quiet bye. so shocked to receive the 7-11 bolster i've been hesitating to buy... all thanx to my mentor. how sweet! & also the minnie & card i got from my TOs. so touched lo. it was realli a pleasant surprise. made it even harder for me to go.
previous nite doing duty.. walked around office to appreciate the environment. started to feel the sadness of leaving. todae.. got many wishes from them... & finally said my goodbyes and takecarez before i left. wat a day... of mixed emotions.
2 weeks is all i have. its long enough... but i noe it'll pass real fast. will meet them again...for sure. already made sure they include me in future gatheringz. can't wait!!! cheerz to a new start. unpredictable but exciting.
january is the start of every new yr. but this time its definitely a month like no other. a carefree month. its the kind that u can enjoy to the max and not worry about ur next direction. yet u wouldn't want this kinda freedom so often. if u noe wat i mean...
finally meet up those cheebongz. its like the longest time. they still as crappy.. if onli big head was there... wanted to kaypo and dig for some info. not that i enjoy suan-ing.. i noe can't win... but i want my revenge! over eat la.. fish & bo then b&j.. exploded. again again pls... pro organizer. =P yesterdae watched bedtime stories.. so fantasy la. although i expected more stories.. it was funny enough. realise got many movies out... too many! movies eat alot of my $$... i should start to control. but i juz love to watch movies... shitz.
starting to sleep late again. thats bad... but it also means i'm havoc-ing again. managed to maintain slp-early-wakeup-early lifestyle a few months back... but i guess i'm back to sq one. this month.. cannot la! can't slp early even if i wanted to. hah~ excuse me for this month k... i'll have to max out before i restart work. entering an unknown environment.. totally different from the comfort zone now. but i'll handle that challenge next month.
juz glad that no more restrictions on moonlighting in this new contract. back to 2nd home.. yay! familiar faces back to hv...keelim & eddie! but hope the shuffle wun mess everything up. well.. gotta see if got slots anyway... after so many staff shifted here. i miss working... serving customers and preparing orders. expect changes though.. new menu.. new faces. juz hope i've got free time to work manz. i certainly want to.. but time may not permit. oh ya.. 1 more.. hope she's ok. ban luck is realli addictive. cny coming... excusable.
1st post in '09. this yr didn't think of any resolutions. juz another yr went past. ended '08 by playing games at lisa's house. veri homely and comfy. food.. alcohol... taboo... pictionary & dvds after that. its the company that made a simple countdown so meaningful.
another major change. '08 ended with a signature and '09 with a tender. its quite coincidental... how all these came about. initially planned for this process to happen earlier... but fate intervened on its occurrence by the switch of the calendar yr. its hard to anticipate the uncertainty... but its even harder to say goodbye. despite the bad economy... still gotta grab this opportunity. coz i know i'll regret giving up this chance. guess the scope would definitely be more interesting and less depressing. but sure to have different challenges. i juz wanna be more of myself. maybe this is my new yr's resolution.
sometimes i feel so bogged down with the complexities in life that i juz run away from it. i see it in the decisions i make. but i know i can't shun from it all... so i'll do wat i think is best.
ever felt guilty for something that u didn't do? like the situation has unknowingly rolled you into being part of it when u didn't even want ur involvement in the 1st place. all i want is to return to a familiar environment where i can identify with... a place where part of my life was & still is. but i guess my presence would cause unhappiness to others. hurtful.. but its not within my control. i respect that.. so i shouldn't make things anymore difficult. don't like the feeling that i'm the reason someone else is suffering in silence. i'm a girl too.. i know its never easy. but i assure u.. there's realli nothing. nothing to feel uneasy about. coz if u know me well enough... u'll understand. at that place... i feel we're all juz one big family. we're all there for the same reason. hope u'll all see that.
