December will disappear before you know it

it has been a long 2 weeks since I last
updated tis blog ....

it had been a busy n efficient fortnight ...
I din even have much of a rest

now sitting on my chair on a cloudy
Sunday afternoon, I'm falling
a bit sick

I hope I will recover in a day...

I was busy applying for some scholarship
programs both in Singapore n
overseas

everything was wrapped up by end
November, so now I juz
have to wait
for the outcome

I want to live my dream, n tt
means holding up for
the chance to do HIV
research

other pple has chatised me
for rejecting some
opportunities

but I guess personal
preference is non-debatable

in Dec, I feel realli light ... if you
have loads of nonsense
off your back ... u will feel the same way

I was on Abel's bike on a rainy friday,
and the wind was blowing at
a furious speed, the bike was
trembling n by the time we
reached Jalan Kayu, we
were realli drenched but I'm the
pillion passenger so I'm in a beta shape

both Abel & my uncle like to take
the 'country-like' route that leads
from Jalan Kayu to Yishun via
Seletar Dam

it's a route tt is v fun where u
r on a bike; on a lorry
it can be a bumpy ride

by the time I reached home, I was quietly
hoping that I won't get sick the nxt
morning

boss calls me early on Sat morning &
I has rushed down to
one of his branch to give
tuition

nxt yr tuition classes r
ez to teach ... Sec
sch students r
easier to teach than
Pri students ... & 1.5 hr
per session is juz right for me

the students are very quiet ...
sometimes they don't even
want to nod their head ...
guess I'm still quite

a stranger to them

Sat 3, was JC mate, TC's farewell
dinner ... it has been a while ...
but it was quite an
enjoyable evening ... just plainly
talking about basically anything
that we could tink of ...
I remembered I loved my JC1
class and wasn't quite glad
tt the school decided to do some
rearrangements with
all the classes

JC years weren't my most
enjoyable period ...but the frenzs
met are wonderful

I was more of a nerd then, n I
arrived in sch without combing my
hair ... n my hair juz looked
like the cap of a mushroom

all my classmates say I have changed
the most among everyone ...

my niece was born on 5 Dec ... n his
brother is alreadi getting
jealous ... so I was @ Thomson
Medical Centre ... juz to
see the newborn

mum & cousins were all commenting
about her facial features ...
but honestly I think all
newborns don't look very different ...
I juz kept my mouth shut lor
if not they will insist they
r rite n stuff ... I will like
to see how she will turn up to be

mabbe she will be a charming
princess ... I juz hope she
won't start smashing my ting

basically I may have to share
my bed with my niece ...
but I absolutely love the
smell of baby ... mum says
it's the smell of milk !!! I
enjoy watching the baby sleep
n den smelling their scent

It's nicer than perfume!!!

I finally have a birthday treat from Dick
on 7 Dec ... 3 mths after
my bdae ... juz blame
it on our conflicitng schedule

we did some window-shopping ...
with my burgeoning
shopping list I have to
discard the less important
ones ... 2 weeks more
to Christmas & I haven't
make any key purchases

How much have I bought?
Exchange Gift? Nope
Birthday Gift? Nope
Christmas Card? Not sent yet
Gifts for my students? Only 1 so far

It's a long way ... I hope to meet
up with Zhuzhen next week...
so she can help me
with the shopping

Zhuzhen & Keith r 2 great
pals to go gift-hunting
with me

especially when I'm a throughly
inefficent person who
likes to savour the moments
n do things only when the
feel arises ... gg shopping
with an efficient person
IS a MUST!!!

On thursday I sang with
Zhuzhen, Cheefeng & their frenz
for the first time ...

what I knew from tt day is tis:

(1) KBox can refill your titbits free of charge
... in total we top-up 2 of our
titbits try three times ... so the $2.50/pax
paid for the titbits is more worth it
(2) Singing karaoke for 5 hrs is tiring
but enjoyable
(3) it's easier to sing Fan Weiqi's song
than Sammi Cheng n KBox Fan Weiqi's
collection is disappointing ... her
songs have a very moving tempo n
her voice is gud

(4) Cafe Cartel serves food that taste
beta than I expect

after almost a 1 year break from
fishing, i fished again with
Vincent... Vincent wanted
to try how is it like to fish

it was a rainy Friday morning to
begin with...
but we decided to
fish anyway

3 hours ... 4 fish of the same
species ... I never
had this type of experience

but I luv the fact tt
I'm beta at removing hook
from the fish n tt
Vincent caught some
fish on his maiden
fishing trip

Jianhong introduced me to
fishing some years back ... & I'm
grateful for it ... if I
had time I wanted to nurture
this interest ... but right
now I always had
my website to worry abt ...
so let's see how tings turn
out

bez part abt the weekend was meeting
up with Yihao, Junwei & Kenneth
for tea ... I crap a lot
with Yihao so it's juz the routine ...
but it's delightful
to know that Junwei
has a bigger interest
in photography than me ... n
now at least I got more one person
to learn from

I will end 2005 with perhaps a trip
to Cameron Highlands after all
... it's the only overseas trip
I can afford

P.S. To my pals: don't worry if my blog
is not updated for a long while. I
have no intention to close this, and
will update when I can find the
time.
Meanwhile, please help me
spread the news of my
website to frenzs who might
be keen,
