Happy Chinese New Year
This is the 2nd time in my life that I'm not around during this CNY period. Although I can imagine everyone getting ready for CNY; cooking, shopping, cleaning, it's just very quiet here. It's just like any other day, although the chinatown in washington D.C is having some kind of a celebration.
I dont really want to go and experience what it's like celebrating CNY here, partly becos I'm lazy and partly i guess it doesnt matter to miss just one or two celebration! :P hahahaa...
Well, Happy Chinese New Year to everyone back home and hope everyone has a prosperous new year. Gong Xi Fa Cai!!! ^_^

Parents
Being a parent is really not an easy task. This au pair experience made me realised that parents are the greatest beings in the universe. The amount of nonsense they have to put up, the incessant demands from the kids, the crying, screaming etc etc. But you come to realise that it's all worth it when the child is happy, is being silly and giving you kisses and hugs. "Mummy" and "Daddy", 2 simple words, but if being called by your child, in a very sweet way, just melts your heart. You forget about all your tiredness and troubles for a while.
It's really not easy being a parent, but at the same time, when you see your kids being good as a person, as a friend, as a student, it just shows that you have done a good job.
Salutes to all the parents out there!

Happy 27th Birthday to me!! ^_^
How time flies...i'm officially 27. Sigh..getting old is so scary. Well, i had a very nice birthday this year, being in a foreign land. On sat (21st), i went out for dinner with my friends and after dinner we went to watch "Brokeback Mountain". It was quite nice and everything got paid for becos it's my birthday..yeah..it was nice.
We were plannin to go to an Irish pub after the movie, but i guess everyone was tired and we went home.
On 22nd, i was meeting some friends and planning to go ice-skating but we met too late and the ice-skating rink was closing, so we went bowling instead. This is the 1st time i ever bowl in 27 years!! haha...nv really gave bowling a chance when i was in sg, but it was nice....Sophie was really good, she had a few strikes...but i guess i'm ok for a first timer..haha...
then i went home to have dinner with the family. It was nice. So that's so much for my birthday. And today, i got a card from my buddy and a card from Rochester, NY. I was surprised that Uncle Harold actually remembers my birthday!
BTW, this "uncle" is someone i visited 10 yrs ago. I have to plan a trip to go visit him while i'm still here. These past 10 years, i've been wanting to come visit him, but always nv have the $$ haha..as usual, so now i'm here, i shld really take the chance to.
I hope everyone is having a good time wherever you are.

Happy New Year
Hey everyone, happy 2006. It's the start of the new year again. And me, birthday being in this month, gets one year older faster...scary.. :P anyway, i was too lazy to update the blog..haha...but still, i'm making effort...heehee
New York was very nice...spend like 5 full days there, didnt really pack my time like crazy, just took it easy and went around. It was really nice.
Day one - 27th Dec
Took the bus at 11am and the traffic was good. Reached there about 3:00pm in the afternoon. Not too bad. Then after putting down my stuff, went for dinner with my friends. So much for day one :P heehee
Day two - 28th Dec
Had breakfast in mac and then walked around central park and did some shopping at Time warner center and Time sq.
Day three - 29th Dec (rainy)
It was raining but we still went ahead with our plans, which was to go to chinatown and little italy. The chinatown is really big and it just reminds me of home :( but it was nice...then went for dinner at time sq.
Day four - 30th Dec
Had breakfast, then went to a friend's plc. Sat ard for a while and went to South street seaport and Rockafella center.
Day five - 31st Dec
Went to buy some gifts and then went to friend's house to watch Time Sq count down on TV...haha...i think it's too crazy to stand there for 8 hrs just to watch the ball down. So, watch it on TV is just as good...haha...
Day six - 1st Jan 2006
Time to go home...bus was at 12pm. Reached home abt 5pm. Was so happy to see the girls after one week. They were in the car, smiling at me. It was really nice.
