christmas presence...

christmas presents this year came in the form of presence... catching up with people you don't see often, seeing more of people that you see all the time... here's a glimpse of this year's christmas presence...

eve... dinner at ming's

ming and wilson: lovely couple, lovely food, lovely home... ming, so happy for you... i still remember how back in college, we would be daydreaming together outside our container...

liow: well done buddy! and yes, good things are worth waiting for... i can't wait till 2010...

serene: if life has a constant, you would be it... you're the same yesterday, today and i'm sure tomorrow too... wait! does that make you God?

sharon: haiz... haha... we still love you... we really do!

eve... countdown at zouk

i don't remember counting down cos we were rushing to finish a full bottle by midnight... that worked out to an hour of intense drinking... so from eleven till midnight, the few of us had a bottle, a lambo and i helped finish a martini...

special mention to gerald for his driving! the windscreen wipers come up everytime he tries to signal... super hilarous when there are three highly intoxicated people in the car...

day... boon keng

my very first attempt at a christmas party... chic christmas party... chic as in chicken... invite was sent out to gather friends for chicken rice... it was a party, singapore-style... in a hawker centre where one can come in tee-shirts, berms and slippers... well, i had three guests! haha... so i didn't fail that badly...

was good to see bestian again... oh and aaron is damn tall la... for once, i felt like a hobbit...

day... clubbing

one word... bad...

i think because of the last night, we were all tired... and it didn't help that the pick up was super slow... to make things worse, at various points, snow and foam rained on you... result? soapy skin and sticky hair... lousy lousy lousy! especially when i was wearing a nice expensive scarf...

the silver lining? supper... the sambal seafood fried rice was good... guilin jelly was nice also!

time to get back to work...

this time...

this time last year...

i was wrapping up my superstar virgo project... after being onboard for six weeks, i was finally going home... but what was home? the six weeks had a death, two breakups and a lot of family drama...

this time this year...

wrapped up precious moments at suntec... a lot less family drama... a bunch of new friends... a handful of fragile relationships...

this time last year...

been to KL, phuket, langkawi, penang... slept passed malacca countless times...

this time this year...

i'm in singapore... friends are in KL, vietnam, taiwan, around the world...

this time last year...

made a tough decision to shelf my plans for an overseas masters... i was in preparation for four years... stopped writing my paper because i knew i was not going anywhere near the states, hong kong or australia...

this time this year...

still thinking of furthering my studies... but it now looks like a distant dream...

this time last year...

i will be strong, i will be one step closer to myself and i will be embracing my life...
