So much for a new year. A new start. Seems like it'll just be as bad as last year if not worse.
Happy fucking new year.

Dang, my comp restarted and I lost my post. Anyhow, CNY, first day the usual visitations to temple, grandma's (who really looked like she aged alot the last year, god bless her with health please), went to granduncles, and dinner with maternal side. Met the maternal relatives for the first time since i'm back, had fun talking to them. Kids were cute as usual, sweet yu qi even asked me to join and share cards with me during a game of uno attack which was rather hilarious with yi zhi kor not knowing the rules. She even offered to give me one of her light stick and those popping things when she saw me. Seems like we've got more cousins too, so weird.
2nd day was spent really travelling. nanny's place (love her cat soooo much), woodlands to visit grandaunt, tampines to visit uncle. Was quite tired from all the driving and made a few mistakes which really made my dad angry with me. oops. Dinner at home was nice. Simple porridge with dishes eaten with family is still the best.
Speaking of food, we finally had steamboat as a family of 4 for the first time since forever. Quite nice for a change =p. Went to Ichiban on 2nd day for our usual cny lunch also. Service there was good but the cashier and manager pissed me off. Oh well.
Some things have happened and I just hope everything will be alright.

Hmmm I think my memory's failing me lol. Met up with dear Serene last week for some lunch and shopping at Bugis. Headed to Little India to do henna after that. Had fun chatting with Serene and I'd miss you loads when I'm back in Aussie land. Sigh.
Visited Clifton on Thursday with thumb and thea. Somehow it still doesn't seem real at all. Somehow I went there hoping it was all a joke back then but having his picture there staring right at you just proves to show that it wasn't all a lie. Sigh.
Had dinner with phy and alvin and it was fun. Been ages since we last all met up and it's good to know we're still doing rather fine.
Lunch on Fri with Ivan was fun. Been years since we last talked and I guess we all did really change. He too said if it were for pictures on facebook and msn he probably wont recognise me lol. Dinner with family at Long Beach after that was nice. Dining under the stars. Would have been better if we could use the voucher and need not spend so much on the CNY set. tsk tsk. Still it was nice as I cant remember when was the last time we had dinner like that. Dad did something silly too which made me laugh till I cried - he wanted to point at something and hit the straw for his coconut and whilst he saw the juice flying up, afterwhich fell down on him, he looked up in surprise as if he thought it was raining. It was his expression that made me laugh so badly. Lol.
Breakfast with mummy on sat followed by meeting aw to check out airfare in chinatown. Most of the promotions arent out for the travel dates we're looking at so we ended up wandering chinatown for lunch and shopped a little at OG. Walked towards Marina square and somehow we ended up going round the whole of Central and he was already late to meet his friends. lol. My phone died on me rather early so I pretty much didnt have any choice but to stick around till someone was free and could meet me early. Damn dumb but happy la. For once I dont need to keep calling and msging to be the point of contact. Met up with his friends for a little and Kai Wei was so nice to come by early to meet me. Ivan came by shortly after and as always everyone else (besides Sally) was late. So typical. lol. Dinner at Central was fun. Chilling out at Fashion Bar was rather boring due to the music and atmosphere which made it hard to talk. Chilling at the entrance of Central was fun.
Reunion Dinner yesterday was okay I guess. Nothing really fantastic but at least my grandma got a break from all the cooking. Would have been better if we could have started earlier but oh well. Got to drive quite a bit and I guess it's all good.
Back to spring cleaning!~

Dinner on Thurs was fun =) Liked the live band haha. But so sad, they didnt have the beer I wanted. More dinner please pammie!
On Fri, decided to go for TP alumni night on a random mood and I'm quite glad we decided to turn up in the end =) Arvo was spent shopping around Bugis with Althea and Ivan. Finally managed to visit Haji Lane and I've gotten stocked up for my back-to-school clothes next sem =p. I usually wear clothes according to my 'phase' so it can be quite troublesome some times lol. Got 'bullied' by Althea and Ivan and it was the first time they met each other. So sad! Still it was all in good fun and as said, please put forward your 'recommendations' to the guys because I won't do anything about it lol.
Back to Alumni Night. As usual we met as the Radon gang and met many others. Come to think of it, we've known each other for almost 4 years, and I've not met some of the people for around 2-3 years maybe? I think alot of us have changed and hopefully it's all for the better =p I love our family photos and we should do this once a year at least man. Then we can see how much we all changed.
Headed to sing karaoke after that. Oh man I'd miss all these when I'm back in Aussie and it doesn't help I'd only be back on 29 Dec this year. I'd miss everyone so much.
You know after all these I feel that people who know me best are still here. Granted we've known each other for coming 4-5 years already. It's who your friends are that is important.
Sometimes I wonder if going overseas is really the right choice. If I stayed here and went to SIM, I could hang out with everyone more. I could have gotten the chance to participate in camps and maybe even more enthusiastic than in TP. I wouldn't feel so distant in everyone's life at times. At least I know I'd be protected by you guys.
Pammie said it just won't be me. I'm pretty much "born to travel" but sometimes I just wonder if the opportunity cost is worth it. Anyway it's too late. I just have to carry on this path this I see the end of the path.
I like this random shot =p

Realised I haven't been blogging much =p Been really busy the past week bringing friends around and of course it was a perfect opportunity to do touristy things which usually would have been scoffed at.
Finally went on the Hippo Tour and Hippo River Cruise with Arnaud and Tsuey, had fun touring the various sites and listening to stories. Went to the Art Museum as well, I want to go to more museums too! Peranakan Museum, Civillisation Museum etc etc. Saw the Chinatown lightup for the first time and managed to see the fire crackers go off. Went clubbing at Phuture where I bumped into high school mates. It was quite funny as we were sure if we saw the correct people =p. Bummed around town with Aw while waiting for the various timing to meet up. Missed NYE countdown as I was too burned out (sorry!). Visited the Zoo with Arnaud and had fun with all our jokes and all.
Do note the above arent in order =p just blogged as it came to mind.
Suddenly it seems so quiet without all the activities. Hey people date me out!!! =p
Miss you guys. *muacks*
