Reflections on 2007

Another year has passed. Compared to 2006, I feel 2007 was slighter better for me. Work was fine after I changed the fengshui of my class. Pay was better but that meant I tended to spend more too.

My social circle increased. Now I have another fun group to hang out with. I also became closer to my sec sch friends whom I've drifted apart from after graduation. We were all so busy with our own lives. I'm touched that they're still always here for me.

Love had been quite smooth. We still fight sometimes. However I hope it strengthens our marriage as we learn to understand each other better thru the fights, as it did for my friend. Highlight for us in 2007 was our wedding plans. From the no-proposal discussion on marriage, to seeking approval from parents, to planning the big day.... this had been an exciting year for us.

Big changes at home though it has no big impact on me. I would say I benefited from it in a way though others suffered. One good thing is it probably strengthened the family ties at home. We're hardly so united in condemning people! hahahaha!

I'm still the same old me. Never became a nicer person in 2007. One thing that has changed is I seem to love Ah Ke more than ever. Maybe this signals the time for motherhood? Hahaha!

St James outing

For the first time, we 3 siblings went chionging together on 29 Dec at St James. A friend teased us saying where are our parents? Well, my sis did invite my parents but they declined. Hahaha!

That photo was taken when we were still quite sober & everyone wasn't feeling that "high" yet. We were at Boiler Room which had a live band playing Angmoh songs & cracking lots of sexual jokes. Sometimes the jokes were so cold, only the band singer was laughing coz he's probably the only one who can appreciates his own jokes.

I never got into a high mood despite a few drinks. Guess it depends a lot on my mood. My sis was dancing away with her jie-meis. My brother joined in too after a few more glasses of alcohol. I was contented to sit there & people-watch. That's quite an enjoyable process to me. Bro & his friends were in a very generous mood & bought a bottle of Chivas and we cleared it in a night. All the "jiu gui" here!

Hungry, we decided to leave at around 2am for supper. Bro & his friend insisted on driving despite having drank a lot. They kept thinking they are sober enough to drive. Now we know why there're so many drunk-driving accidents.....all thanks to these drunkards who think they are sober.

Anyway, we managed to persuade them to take a cab to Newton Circus for supper. The hawkers there were irritating. Touting us the moment we reached. We had satay, cha kway teow, chicken wings, cockles, sting-ray. Not very yummy but better than nothing. Home by 4am. Half-dead!

This outing was quite fun. We should have more of it before I go to Japan! haha (^-^)

Santa Ah Ke

Ah Ke's Santa for a day! So kawaii!!

Santa Ah Ke also wants a present. Hmm.....which one is mine?

Christmas Party

We had a little x'mas party at home. Most were my sister's friends. We ate & played games like Uno Stacko, mahjong & blackjack. At midnight we had a gift exchange game where I read a story of left/right & we had to pass the gift to some on the left/right. This year I had the most gifts, most of which are meant to be used in Japan. Happy!!

check out the no. of gifts!
