4 days of holiday finally coming to an end. I'll be back to work again tmr which is totally demoralising. Fun time dash pass while working time crawls...
Hate to go back to the office for month end closing. Hate to solve issues that are obviously not under our scope, yet we had to handle it. Hate to find the root cause of the problem when I don't even know who I can seek help from. Hate to find the culprit who loaded the wrong data as email can circulate throughout the world but eventually came back to me asking for advise when I'm the originator of the email! That's working life. If you are still studying, pls drop the idea that working is better than studying for you haven't seen the cruelty of the working society yet. Treasure the school days and stop skipping lectures! I truely regretted for skipping my lectures during Poly days and I really meant it now!
CNY was not as fun compared to the old days. I think I am already getting bored of this festival. Movies shown during CNY was not as great as compared to last time. All new movies release during this year CNY were Chinese show! What happened to all the hollywood movies???
After 5 years, this was the first time I stayed home to watch TV during CNY eve. Getting bored of He Pan fireworks. Chinatown firecrackers was nothing spectacular anyway. The CNY variety show shown at 10.30pm on the eve was boring too. Slept at 1am on the eve, which was the EARLIST time I went to bed after so many years of slping time at 3-4+am.
As usual, same routine on the first day of CNY. Went temple, Kor Poh house and then ah ma house. Last stop will always be ah ma house and then it's free and easy time. Went movie with my cousin Karen, her husband-to-be and hui. We caught separate movie ('Fun with Dick and Jane' for hui and me, Fearless for Karen and Baldwin) and met up again after the movie ends. Went to He Pan for phototaking, had dinner and went home. Boring huh?
2nd day of CNY was better. Hui came over to my house to Bai Nian. Then I went over to his relative house and then his house for steamboat dinner. I had to give Phyllis house a miss coz time did not allow us to squeeze in another house for visit. The steamboat dinner was huge! 21 person in total! After the dinner, 18 out of 21 went for a movie at Tampines Mall - I Not Stupid Too.
Review for this movie:
I was quite surprise this movie had gave me a 'wow' feel. I never like watching chinese movie in cinema coz to me, it's just a waste of $ to spent $9.50 on a chinese show. This show lasted about 2hr and I think 85% of the audience cried. Ofcoz, I'm included in the 85%. I think it's better than the first I Not Stupid. Most impt, the actors/actresses did a great job touching the audience's heart and it had really bring out how the actual Singapore parents are handling their children.
There were many quotes in the movie that truely touches my heart. The two lead actors had done a marvellous job and they are so handsome! I think I would have a crash on them if I'm still at their age watching this movie...kekekeke...*Thumbs up* for Jack Neo.

Get Together
Limei was back from her honeymoon. Met up with her, Phyllis and Jenny for lunch Dim Sum at Crystal Jade, Holland Village. We had a nice chat over the lunch with her telling us her tour experience in New Zealand. After the lunch, we went Centre Point for shopping. Jenny went home after the lunch as she wanted to prepare for her BBQ at night. 3 of us were not kin on shopping at all. We made many circles walking around without really stopping for awhile to see or touch on any product in the store. In fact we were more interested yakking away. In the end, Phyllis suggested to sit down for a drink instead and chat since all of us were not concentrating on shopping. We sat at the McDonald for 2hrs+ with 3 cups of ice milo and chit chatting away. Sometimes I just wonder why do we have so many things to talk about.
Super Ji Za Por, we are!
Met Hui in the evening for dinner. Had dinner at Marina Square Foodcourt and shop around after the dinner. Bought a belt for myself to be used on the hipster jeans of mine. Shops started to close at 9.30pm. The night was still young and we decided to go Tong Shui Cafe for some desserts. As usual, this place was always pack with many people. The waiter told us we need to wait for at least 45mins for the food. Since both of us got so many time to spare, we waited. This was the 2nd time we went to this place, hence we actually were prepared for the long waiting time. But to my surprise, the dessert and food came within 10mins! I also spotted the couple who sat down the same time as us got their food served just few mins after us (They ordered main course). Hmm..have their service improved? Or they had actually missed out our orders the last time we were there, that's why we had waited for 1.5hrs for our food? I shall visit the place for the 3rd time to check out their service again :)
Mango Kiwi Snowy Mountain for me
Mango Pomelo Snowy Mountain for him
Sandwich with cheese and egg + fries for us

Friday, the 13th
On the 13th January 2005, my blog went live and I started my first blogging. Today, my blog have turned ONE! Decided to revemp the template to mark a new start. Purposely waited till this date to have my first blog for year 2006. Let me first sing a song before I begin to recap what I had done for the past 13 days in 2006...
"Happy Birthday To You,
Happy Birthday To You,
Happy Birthday To DADDY, PHYLLIS, My Blog,
Happy Birthday To You!!"
Yes! Today is also my daddy and Phyllis birthday.
Wishes Daddy good health and stay happy forever.
Wishes Phyllis a smooth year ahead both in her job and relationship with her bf (Will I be hearing any bells soon??).
On the 1st Jan, I had a BBQ at East Coast with my colleagues. The weather was really bad that day. It rained at EC and we decided to switch to Pasir Ris for BBQ instead. One of my colleagues's family was having chalet at NTUC Pasir Ris and we went down to grap a pit from there. Lousy charcoal (bought from one of the supermarket) couldn't be started and the guys had wasted many starters. Due to the rain, the charcoal got wet and it was even harder to get the fire up. Just when we finally saw some charcoal burning (it was already 9+ by then), it rained again! Neverthless, it was indeed fun bbqing in the rain with umbrellas. As I'm working the next day (It's a PUBLIC HOLIDAY!!), I left the group at around 11.45pm.
First week of 2006 was nothing happening. It was finance year end closing and I'm tied up with work.
This week was nothing exciting as well.
On 7th Jan, met up with polymates for dinner at Fish & Co Glasshouse. Not many turned up. Only Seh Choi, Andrew and Gek Eng. Including Hui and me, a total of 5. After the dinner, Seh Choi and Andrew came over to my house for majong. The big winner was SC. He won $29. I only won $2 which was not claimed in the end coz the $ would be coming from Hui...:(
Due to the consistantly wet weather, I spent my public holiday (10th Jan) at home.
Many people had started setting their resolution for 2006. But how many people actually did follow closely with the resolution they set and achieve it??
If you set many goals for the sake of self-fulfilling yourself at that point of time and done nothing to it for the rest of the year, I would rather not to have any.
Infact, I would say I'm already contented that I had yet again enter into another year with good health, and looking forward to another year, and another and another...Life is short, spend wisely.
