Ugh.
Ugh ugh ugh. I have long delayed witting this post for far more boring reasons than 'I'm busy'. Anyway, my year got me started by being really pissed at myself for having this silly and stupid fight with my mother (over a microwave oven and irresponsible behavior) which ended up in me staying in a hotel for 3 days near my friend's house. Then after that, when we got back in Singapore I got the news that Carl got layed off at work due to the economic crisis problem.
Not a good year for me I thought.
But anyway, I was glad i was still able to see my nephew, sister... my dad and all my friends during my christmas vacation. Hong Kong was awesome (and chilly) too, can't wait to bring my nephew to all the theme parks when he gets a bit older (at least let him learn how to walk on his own first).
Had a great time last night over at Eileen and Gino's house (Carl's ex colleague and friend), had the chance to eat Kare Kare, Adobo, and Afritada for dinner! Anna and JR's afritada really rocked, i was so surprised. Made me want to go beyond the frying (Chicken nuggets and Tempura Prawns) and really start to learn how to mix sauces and cook for real!
Had the chance to meet 2 new people too, and what a great way to bond with them than to play a game of Movie Trivias! That game is really ball bustingly entertaining! Although some movies that were shown were from far before even my parents met (TCM, black and white movies kind) so it was tough... good thing our new British friend is a true blue movie buff and have been giving us clues about which letter to press. Haha!
Their new dogs Piko and Peggy (Chihuahuas) also joined us the entire time. They were on Hyper run around and lick people mode.
Anyway, one and a half day more vacation for me! Gong Xi Fa Cai!
Tomorrow is a picnic / tanning / drinking day over at Sentosa with ex colleagues - not yet sure If i'll be able to join, depends if I will be able to wake up on time for the meeting. Hehe.
