It's eve of Chinese New Year and i am still not completely recovered from my illness. Damn! The dry throat still there even after i've drank bucket loads of water, and the block nose still there after tons of medicine! Sickening germs in my body who chose to attack at this very critical point in life (i'm not that traditional to celebrate chinese new year actually. i just want my BAK KWA! And Hongbao hehe).Sunday, January 25, 2009 Anyway, guess this year's CNY for me will be abit downplayed as well, since my grandmother's off-island, on CNY getaway on board Star Cruise. Thus, as quoted by someone, "there was no point for my other relatives to visit us". Greatness, Siblings who don't meet when the parents are not around. Where is the whole point of CNY then? (But erm... come to think of it, i don't meet my brothers without my parents too. haha. But this is definitely different alright...) Well, guess this means seeing less people during the next two days. Which is both a good and bad thing. The bad you know - less money! - and as for the good, i think you know too. Facing relatives who ask you the same questions every year about studies, height, appearance and of course, your relationships (nosey parkers! haha). Which is probably why i've naturally adopted the "don't talk much and act very shy" method to minimise interaction time. haha. Shouldn't be a problem since in office nowadays i'm quite the mute. SAD. Moving on to brighter stuff, i met up with fellow ex-colleagues from CPF. Things have changed a fair bit with Siny and Chunli (haha, not her real name) have moved out of the call centre. Well, i met up the little group consisting of Ms Miao Miao, Mr Koh, KL, Wad-U-Doin', Chunli, Siny, and Siny's two other friends which i've met briefly at CPF before, Bee Bee and Monkey (also not their real names haha). Strangely, we had deserts first at Swensens as we have coupons to use (very embarrassing! ha). Facebook was quite the hot topic amongst them, and especially funny (and embarassing to me) when KL tried to imitate my display pic action of the "OK!" sign. Made me feel like a stupid monkey on full display to all my friends. (i said i will change my display pic but i haven found anything better! haha) After which we walked around before settling at Burger King for dinner. By then, Wad-U-Doin', KL, Bee Bee and Monkey had left. So the remaining five continued small talk at BK, gossiping and having ALOT of scandalous updates and jokes. Felt quite good to meet them after the pretty disastrous first week of work and illness combined. They certainly provided some great entertainment and enlivened my mood. If only everyday was like that at work... haha. Well, at least next week's a three-day work week! Cheers! HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!
