Gong Xi Fa Cai! 恭喜發財!

Today's the second day of the Chinese Lunar New Year!  Brain is accustomed to having at least 2 days off for the new year festivities, but body had to make it to the office this morning.  Wretched alarm went off at 6:40am, slammed the snooze button to catch another 5 minutes of sleep, secretly swearing to myself under the covers.  expected it to be cold after the windy, near gale-like conditions this past week, and true to expectations, it was very chilly this morning.  i don't even want to venture out of my bed, the duvet is so warm and comfortable.... argh. 

6:45am the alarm goes off a second time, this time warning me about the 5 mins less i would have for a shower, putting on the face armour and straightening wayward hair.... big groan followed by reluctance in taking off socks, plunging warm feet into cold bedroom slippers, double argh.... today's really not supposed to be a working day... every bone in my body is telling to go back to bed.  triple argh....

body clock is back to bermuda time, no more sleepnessless in the wee hours of the morning but still cannot sleep in.  aiyoh.

新年快樂!萬事如意!步步高升!
身體健康!虎年行大運!

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...
it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh.
