365th day

I believe most of us swtiched on the party mood when we stepped out of the house today? I thought I would, but I didn't.

I didn't realise that today is the countdown day to 2010.
Not even when I met my colleague in the lift asking me my program for the day. (thought it was a casual question)

Not even when everyone started to wish each other Happy New Year. (thought new year is round the corner)

But till I received a msg from a friend asking if I'm going for a countdown, then I realised today is the last day of the year.

That because, I carried a heavy heart to work today, it's the day I bid farewell to my bosses, to some of my dear colleagues/partners who will no longer be continuing the new contract in the new management.

On the flipside, yesterday, a farewell lunch was held at Dozo, a japanese fine dining restaurant located at river valley. Everyone was happy then due to exquisite food presented to them. Food there were really good. From starters all the way to desserts were rated at least 4/5 from me. It's the first time I tried the escargots and truffle (mushroom), hmm~ yummy!

In the last hour of 2009, I hope for a better year ahead for all of us.
May there be dawn of many new promises, hopes and dreams.

My very happy Christmas :)

On the day before the eve of christmas, we went DOME located at Cityhall to have our dinner, it's an atas Italy restaurant which don't really carry good attitude staffs. Received a softtoy from ck. Thanks. :)

On the eve of Christmas, it was indeed a different one. Spent the evening with DFs steamboating at AMK and went for prawning after that. Like what shuhui says, it's a different exposure though I truly agree it's quite a cruel activity. Thanks for all the cards and gifts. It's soo sweet of you. :)

On the first day of Christmas, spent it with the babes and guys from poly @ Sentosa. It's a fun-filled day. After the lunch, which we'd prepared the food ourselves, we played captain's ball! It's really a wise choice to have applied the sun screen as the sun is burning our skins. Little did we know a heavy pour followed by and got us all drenched even we have our umbrellas. Settled our dinner at harbourfront and went home sweet home. It's a tiring day but it's extremely a joyful day. Thanks for the support, participations and effort for today, it's a wonderful day. :)

On the second day of Christmas, spent it with Ron, Basil, my bro & his gf. Had steamboat @ Bugis and watch Avatar. It's really a very nice movie! Definitely worth the $13 dollars of movie tickets. It's been long since I'd watch a good movie. Rating 4.5/5 from me. Thanks for the gifts. :)

Will be spending my third day of christmas with Jiahui and Jack, looking forward to the meetup later. :)

Memories

Last Saturday we had a bdae celebration for fang and yang at Orchard Central. After dinner we went to the rooftop garden, not quite a bad place there. :)

Today's yang's bdae, Happy Birthday.. :)

Yesterday was really a nice evening, especially when it's friday. Me & ck organised a primary school bbq gathering @ punggol park. Thank goodness it did not rain given this season. :D
Intially thought it would be an awkward situation when most of us haven't been seeing each other for 10 solid years. But it turned up to be a really nice evening for casual catch-up.

It was then when the boys were wearing their short pants uniform playing soccer in the field, who'd all grown up to be guys now, standing right beside the bbq pit setting up the fire.

It might be too short a time to judge, but to me, all of us seems to be only changed physically and not characteristically, just who we were 10 years back.

A nice evening, one of the most enjoyable events I'd attended for the year. :)

28/11/2009 - 8/12/2009

28/11/2009

Went to have dinner with my family together with Ronnie and Basil. It's mum's advance birthday celebration.
Were taught to play pool in the correct posture. Stupid me keeps forgetting.

29/11/2009

It's mum's birthday.
Went to a wedding dinner. It's a different Sunday night.


5/12/2009

went to watched New Moon and personally, I like the story in the book more than in the movie. Probably because it has more details and slow reading arouses interest. Went to Alexander Road to have nice food; took a bus ride for one and a half hours to reach there -.-' Walked through a bridge linked to Henderson Waves. It's a pity that we didn't complete the journey and reached the targeted place due to unlit streets. It's pitched dark without the street lights. But still, a nice exposure.

7/12/2009

ck brought dinner over for me that he'd cooked it himself (I chose the recipe). It's really nice. :)

8/12/2009

A neighbour of ours saw a dog similar to our lost dog. Went with my sis and dad to the place and realised it's not him. Felt disappointed but I believe, there's still someone out there keeping a lookout for us. We're still hoping for his return somehow.
