Reunion Dinner

I had my super early reunion dinner with my family this evening. My brother has to leave for US for a 5-8 months training program on Monday so we decided to have our reunion dinner before he leaves.

Sian... for the next few months, there is no one for me to sponge on anymore... So sad... Never mind... I can probably 骗 him to help me buy stuff from US... Hee... I want to go work overseas too!

Sexy Magic/ Urban Illusions @ St James Power Station

I went and watch Sexy Magic/ Urban Illusions @ St James Power Station with a friend of mine yesterday. It was the first time I watched a magic show live. It was a great show. Magic still baffles me... It is really very interesting how they do it... I may probably catch their show again if I have a chance. :)

Busy Busy Busy...

I hate it when I am so busy at work. Maybe that's because I used to be able to work less and get off work on time. I have been getting new responsibilities which is good but it also means that I am much busier now than I ever was. Given that I am now working and studying at the same time, it is not fantastic news... I am like so busy until I actually wished there's more than 24 hours in a day so that I will have more time to complete whatever stuff that I have to do.

On average, I am now working until 8 everyday IF I don't have school. That is considering that I almost don't need to OT at all all the while I was working here. Ya lah... I do OT once in a while but not often. Or maybe not as often as I have to nowadays. Worse thing is... I have no idea when can I get out of this "busy-ness". It sucks to be so busy... It sucks even more when I can't even sit down and complete a simple task without being called away... damn...

2009...

2009 had come and gone... Time really flies... Recounting 2009, this year has been good and bad to me...

1. I went back to school... I still can't believe I went back to school... One thing I am glad is that I managed to pass all my exams. That's good news considering quite a few of my classmates flunked. I fared better than I had expected too.

2. I passed my driving!!! Ha... But to be frank, I suck at driving and I still preferred to be chauffeured around. So yeah... unless there is a need to, otherwise I probably won't drive. haha...

3. My bosses quitted! Ya... I am still without a boss now... Damn sian...

4. I managed to overcome some problems that I had for the longest time. I managed to think through somethings and I do hope somethings will stay that way.

5. I have made some really good friends with a few of my classmates. :D

I keep saying that I hope 2010 will be a better year until a friend of mine said that 2009 has been quite a good year for me. So why do I still want 2010 to be a better year? Yes I agree 2009 has been quite a good year but there is always room for improvements right? ;)

Christmas 2009

This year's Xmas is more or less like how I spent it the past few years... Xmas eve is always spent together with my secondary school friends. We had a bit of a change this year though. Instead of the usual pot luck dinner in YZ's house, we had a buffet dinner in a Chinese restuarant. Dinner was not fantastic. I kind of missed the usual pot luck dinner because it's more cozy I guess... After dinner we proceeded to PL's house where they played this funny card game called Quoz. Damn funny...

I slept half my Christmas Day away. One word... Shiok! Haha... My classmates and I partied the rest of Christmas Day was away at Chevrons. We booked a room, some games and helped one of my classmate to proposed to his gf. :D The party was very fun. However, this party also let me come up with one rule... Rule No. 1: Don't let P get drunk... Wah liao... cannot lor... She's very violent when she gets drunk... Scary lor...

Overall, this year Christmas is quite fun... :D

Camp Mumbo 2009

For some reason, Benny and I decided to pop by Camp Mumbo this year. It's just those, "ai yah since today nothing to do so we go there look look see see lor..." Ya we actually only planned to go there look look see see... Somehow I end up going around taking some photos, Benny got roped in to help out for the campfire...

Very tiring... We left the place only at 1+ to have supper at the McDonalds in AMK garden. Finally reached home at 2+, totally drained. Once again, I am reminded of the reason why I did not continue being an instructor. Old liao lor... I was only there to help out from 2pm onwards, did nothing much other than take photos most of the time. I ended up super drained by the end. The instructors were there since Thursday and have to stay on until today. Dunno where they find the energy for that. I think age really do matter ba... But it is still fun... :D

Maybe.. just maybe... I will go join again next year... See how first...

The Lost Symbol

I have been thinking of getting The Lost Symbol to read for quite some time. The only problem with the book is that it is currently only available in hard cover version now. So it is damn irritating because I am too lazy to lug around such a heavy book.

Last month, I actually tried to reserve the book from the library and apparently the book is so hot now that I am the 999th person on the waiting list. Obviously I don't want to wait forever to get the book, so I cancelled that reservation. For some reason, I tried to reserve the book again today. I am the 963th person on the waiting list. Great... I think I go buy the book faster... lol... Carrefour is selling the book for ard $20+ now compared to other places which is selling at $38+. :D
