and so ends this eventful year.

cya all next year. have fun counting down wherever u are ;)

dashing thru the snow... on too lil sleep.

this festive season came and went all too soon la. i need to enjoy the full twelve days of christmas. but that would make me oh so poor. so ah dont tink so. :P

i need to sleep more tho. and slow down the pace.

two trips to mos. a free entry sms. a friend from ronin. the hpt imps. uni friends. good music. sucky music. queues much too long. disappointing crowd control and mgt styles. too much alcohol. too little alcohol. stoning at work. buying pressies. wrapping pressies. preparing for parties. 5 bottles and 10 jugs. bar room at clarke quay. old friends. new friends. hugs. happy memories. sad ones. finger food. another year almost up. pictures!

that sums the past three days up. well.. mostly. ;)

everybody needs.. a hand to hold at christmas.

the bunch of us... many friends for almost half our lives. so never a better way to spend christmas i say.. :)

m.o.s.

friends so hard to find.... in the dark ;)

a game to play.

two weeks after and a week after my aching stopped, we met up again to play at the hometeam clubhouse. there were more people this time and it was good fun i'd say. i believe i've said it before but its a good way to spend a sunday, doing a lil exercise and basically having a good time. :P
i wanna play again soon, many many times more before i wont be able to play again for at least six months, but next time wont be happening till at least after new year. bah!

the ragtag team from jc.

plus a whole lot of friend's friends.

mary.

straight after work, i went off for a gathering at a senior's place. its been quite awhile since i've seen mary, the last time being my 21st birthday. being the boys we were people were late as usual but being the busy teacher she was, mary was late too! later than most of us in fact. :P

-

so we started first and ate as people came in after getting off work. it was good to catch up with all of them again, finding out what's up with whom and where they are now. its funny how it is that our two batches of boys got much closer than with other batches, but i'm sure mary had something to do with it. many a saturday was spent in all their company, training ... going for camps... attending parades and rehearsals... then going out for dinner at kfc after training. those were fun and memorable times.

-
so when mary came, she brought along this cake. to celebrate what we werent too sure about. lol. birthdays this year? christmas? or just the get-together? :)

-

anyways our dear teacher-in-charge for ncc isnt called mary, its just something that came up during conversation by one of the seniors that had us laughing non-stop. much too hard if i might add. :P

-

to the teacher that taught me and many others well i'm sure... miss loh. ;)

the first of many incoherent posts to some. heh.

here and there.

with the packing almost done at the old premises in leng kee, there was time for lunch at ikea. so after tying up some loose ends six of us headed there on a shopping trip to get stuff needed for the new office. 70 dustbins. noticeboards. mugs... the works. all the time while there i kept looking out for stuff that I wanted to get. what for? i dunno. they just look nice. lol. wing glasses. shallow dishes. small bowls. :P

i so wanna do up my room when i come back for good. will have to do some convincing tho. hmm..so anyway lunch was good. ikea chicken wings and meatballs. sluuurrrpp i say! :)

dinner was an eventful affair that started with meeting min. then a grace c. then a grace f. then a ruth that experienced violent turbulance on her flight home just today? then a sad zenn. sidenote: its nice to live alone and i am definitely sure i'll miss that feeling really soon. sigh. ohwells.. i will get taken care of back home so... i shant complain. :P

have fun in hk min!! cya soon` ;)

finally.

i sense the possibility of me recovering from this bad bout of sickness. maybe one more night home will do the trick. at least it has enabled me to post and update. and get the rest i need. shall not push my luck for now. so ta!

zoukout.

it was good. and i got to go thanks to the free tics from ah_hock, thru dear min of course. :) anyways i only got there after a dinner party at home and i seriously wasnt feeling my best. but i apparently felt well enough to drink up and have a lil fun. the one sucky bit i spose would have to be the queue to get inside.

-

met quite a few people whilst inside and the music was pretty good. and i pretty much enjoyed it more than the last one i went abt 3 yrs back. hmmm... ohwells. :P
-
for now... i am sickly sick. :S

the sickly weekly.

a lil over a week in and i still am sickly. rawr!!!! must be the lack of rest and the dusty work environment i say. anyways, its been a hectic but interesting week. meeting up with many people both old and new. which is all gd if i might add. :)

i had wanted to start work a lil later but couldnt as the workplace needed ppl to help pack the documents for the shift to toapayoh. motorimage will then have 3 showrooms i tink. ohwells. work is work. and in singapore i just cannot expect to get the same amount as back in perth. one good thing tho is the cheap and good food tho. but at the rate at which i go out now funds are almost being spent as it comes in. bad bad bad in all sense of the word. :S

no zoukout for me tonight. booo.. the mind is willing but the body is weak. not to mention the huge leak that's sprung in the wallet too. :P

the to eat list.

1. miramar

2. carrot cake

3. chilli crab

4. char kuay tiao

5. beef horfun

6. prata - sorry la ju :P

7. ban mian

8. hokkien mee

9. chicken duck char siew rice

hmmm..

the missing.

always loved airline food. and the views of course. how could anyone not like this? wells, unless one isnt feeling too well then.

supper without prata is always good. esp. when done with 'black' people.
a trip down to orchard yielded this. for what reason i have absolutely no idea.

late night dinner that solved the problem of cravings and a need to meet-up. :)

sweet is home.

i need more sleep. much more if i may. and the problem isnt with me going out all the time. its just that the time i have for rest keeps getting interrupted by my lil devil of a niece. i get morning calls even on holiday. :S

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

but the past coupla days have been alright. time with family and the occasional meeting up with friends. need to regulate. else i will never get well before i start work. monday. =\

photos will have to wait. my oly needs a plug converter. heh.

volleyball tml night... woots! :)

ex-perth.

just did the last load of laundry and all that's left for tomorrow is a lil packing plus a whole lotta cleaning up to be done before we leave. will have to pack everything up so it doesnt gather dust. clean out the fridge. place cockroach bait/trap thingys in strategic locations. so much to do... all only possible at the end. :S

dinner at hog's breath cafe was quite good. followed by desserts at king's street cafe. then on to get some sea breeze near freo. not a bad way to spend a cool night in perth i'd say. i'll miss the relative peace and quiet. and the air of course. lol. :)

a deep breath. and a step into the mad rush. =\

the time has come. ciao`
