05-06: Unlimited things with limited time

xmas feel-it's good to be flying home for xmas!

It's amazing how hooey has stopped blogging the moment she reached singapore dont ya think?

Fine, it's not amazing. It's pretty logical. As what miss chua will put it. Jing has the following motto in mind -- UNLIMITED things to do with LIMITED time.

It's true. For the first time in ages, sleep not longer matters. I can stay up and out (usually) till 3 -4 am and wake up at 9 am the next morning to start the new day. Meeting up with people that matter so much to me. Let's have a recap of what has been going on.



23 dec: Touch down! Straight to office to work my @ss off till 11 plus before lugging my Barang Barang back home.


24 dec: Work from home till 10.40 pm then met up with mr ruffy for a xmas count down prata. A short drive around eastern singapore, and nothing beats a simple delicious warm prata with hot drink!

25 dec(XMAS 2005): Drove family to golden mile as they board the coach to KL-Genting. Before heading back home alone. (Something about xmas and the movie HOME ALONE). Fine, my cat was with me.
Mr Ruffy and me had an interesting Pasta Dinner!=) a failed attempt at movie-marathon for me.



26 dec: piano tinkering... CANON D. Up to Genting Highlands! I board the coach with a neighbour ( my bros' good pal of a decade ). At first, i tot it will be weird hanging out with a 18-year old but he turned out to be pretty easy, good company.

27 dec 6.30am: Arrived at Genting Highland--First World. ZZZZ... but Nope, no zzz cos i'm off to wake up the sleepy souls of my family as i dragged them out of bed to have breakfast(TIMSUM). And then of cos, the rollercoaster games, the screams, the crowds.... i lost $ at the casino. DARN. so much for playing with probability.

28dec 10am: Made our way down of the cool genting highlands. By cool, i'm talking about 17 degrees celcius cool. Yes, i know, what kinda trip did i make right? spending less than 30 hours up in genting.

29 dec: Work. Full Stop.THURSDAY! meet up with Hunny Wenny! GOSH, long time long time no see.. thanks girl. Had a fantastic girls' talk, eating good ol' pasta from Spagheddis and scrumptious cakes from Bakers Inn!

Finally a glimpse @ orchard xmas lightings!


30 dec: Work. Dinner with family. First Home cooked Meal in a month!!!!! Bak Gu teh!=) and buttered cauliflowers! Then.. i went off to Ministry of Sound (MoS). Thanks so much to mr ruffy and his pals for going early to queue up. Felt bad, cos by the time i reached ( my sis drove me there)=), mr ruffy was already ahead of the queue.. which is LONG LONG LONG LONG LELONG.... and he had to ask people to go ahead first several times when i haven arrived.Oopsie.




MoS is Huge. Love the decor, pretty systematic and no bawling, or people puking or what not, but the ventilation at the retro room can sure be improved. =) in all, interesting experience, took few pics with my camera phone. But guess i have been in brunei for too long, that i kinda toned down alittle when it comes to late night out, especially clubbing. Had to leave early to rest, while the rest continued their night at geylang for supper!Slept at 3.30 am (safely tucked in bed)

31 dec (NYE): woke up at 9 am. Contacted miss chua and miss lim to see if they are able to make it earlier for cycling at eastcoast. ( Yes, i wanted to maximise the day. Start AEAP: ( As early as possible). in the end bus- waiting, girls bitching, girls waiting, two good pals hugging and screaming at delight upon sighting each other at the bus stop, girls munching lunch at Eastcoast MAcs, girls taking silly snapshots... we ended up only cycling *me blading* at only 1pm.


It rained, we got Stuck at food center halfway, a drink of sugar cane juice, lamenting the weather, pondering the next phase of our lives. Thinking if new year resolutions are anything but dreams... the rain eventually lighten and we made our way back to the rental shop.

Then Hooey took cab to Thengz's place for games saga! played two games, which proved interesting... i like the game landlord! Thengz seriously can start a settler's pad at his place man. Darn nice, a good venue for cook-out and SPA!!! i must so arrange it with Shannie one day!=) one of my " to- do List" for 2006. Hopefully!!!!!=)

Me and Ruffy had a short countdown with Milo (his very friendly jack russell) and then it's OFF again for Hooey to go over vonny's Place for our annual sleepover!!!! i reached her place at about 1.20 am and then we chatted, played more games, till 4 am before HOOEY finally CONCUSSED till 10 am. Me being the meanie, woke the rest up ( dint want to waste the day away.. especially the first day of 2006) and the four of us went to prata place outside her house for the First Breakfast for 2006!!!

it was nice having old pals sitting together over breakfast talking, relishing about moments in the old year, and making plans, welcoming the new year. The weather was refreshing, having showered in the night and i felt totally at ease. Jeli my b2, knew u will be missing on our sleep-over. U are very much missed.=). We spoke about:

1. Travel plans at the end of the year. Start saving Girl.
2. Accounting, doing our own little financial planning and getting tips from our Treasurer!
3. our career... or not.
4. BONUS.. or not.
5. Geez, me lamenting on our age. hiaks
6. Some outdoor activites. the girls want a tan!!!=)

and yup, hooey took a cab ( AGAIN! this is bad... i'm taking cabs like nobody's business once i'm back in singapore) and then it's back home .. blogging having made plans for tonight' movie date! haha...


Exciting aint it?

hiaks. LOVE MY MOTTO!!!!
