Well.
I guess most of you out there who actually this blog must be thinking.
'Ahh.There he is.Back from one of his usual Blog MIA sessions.Just as usual.To think that he actually made a New Year Resolution barely a month ago.'
Ok.
Firstly.I would like to say that.In case you didn't know.
I'm thinking the exact same thing.
Secondly.
Even though I'm sorry (once again) for not blogging all this while,the reason for my absence this time however is complete different from my previous ,and probably wouldn't happen again.(I hope.Hey,I did remember my resolution ok.)
Lastly.
The current portion of this blog entry that you're reading right now is well....
Just sort of like a disclaimer.And not the actual blog entry itself.Reason being that.As confused and frustrated as I may be right now.The least I could do is to give some sort of explanation to the people who regularly read my blog for my constant failure to update my blog right?
Ok then.End of disclaimer.
-Disclaimer-
This past 2 weeks have probably been the most monotonous...
Yet emotionally and mentally challenging 2 weeks in my entire life.
Well.Monotonous.
In the sense that besides staying home and going to school.I haven't gone anywhere else.Absolutely no where else.
Now.Most of you would probably already be wondering,'If this idiot was home all this while,why didn't he update his blog even once?'
Currently.The only reson I can give is that.
I've been living in a dream world for the past 2 weeks.
Call it The Matrix or whatever if you like.But whatever it is.I'm still suffering from the after effects of the last 2 weeks.And have barely just recovered.
Don't worry though.I'm not going insane or anything.
Just that after a long period of not getting enough sleep.People tend to behave a little...strangely.
Not crazy though.
Just a little...weird or abnormal.
......
Nevermind.I guess the more I explain.The worse it gets.
Anyway.That's it for the emotionally and mentally challenging part though.
Now.To talk about the reason for my lack of sleep.
It may sound a little funny or even ridiculous.
But.Even though most of my friends may not know about this.
Actually.I'm a sucker for cantonese drama serials.
Especially those with a very obscure theme of romance in them.
Not those sappy ones like Meteor Garden(though I used to watch it)or whatsoever.But rather those whereby even though the male and female lead are fated to meet one another in their past,current or next lives,they can never seem to be together only until they die.
In short.The typical tragic kind of love story.
.......
Yah yah.I know.Go ahead and laugh all you can.I wouldn't blame you anyway.An already past 20 guy watching tragic love drama serials?Sounds down right funny right.
Actually.I also find it kinda funny myself.
Though I'm pretty thankful that I occupied myself completely with watching episode after episode of such a drama series.They kinda allowed me to...escape from reality for a while.Thus allowing me to take a breather.
If not.I may really have gone insane.
And.It's not school that's bothering me.It's someone.
I wouldn't say who it is though.Never liked to get other people into the picture.Even though this is my blog and I have every right to write whatever I wanted.
Anyway.About the person.I can only say that I really do not understand what she's thinking.
Or what she is trying to do.
That's all.
Now.Talking about the drama series that I'm watching.It's called My Date With A Vampire(Wo3 He2 Jiang1 Shi1 You3 Ge4 Yue1 Hui4).A pretty old series no doubt.Some of you may have already watched it's part one and part two,which was broadcasted on tv a few years back.But definitely one of the best long running series I've watched though.
Actually.Come to think of it.I was already watching it for a while some time back.When my house was under construction and I had nothing to do staying at home all day.I remember that I was last watching part one's episode twelve when I suddenly just stopped watching the entire series altogether for no reason.Guess I was probably busy with the after renovation cleaning and everything.Anyway.2 weeks back.I finally decided to start watching the series once again after much nagging from my sis that she had already finished part one and part two and wanted me to watch part three with her.
And once I started.I couldn't stop.
I mean.Anyone who has watched the series should know just how cool the image is vampires are given in the show.I mean.Superhuman speed, strength and abilities.And green,red or various other coloured eyes and cool hairstyles when they transform from human mode to vampire mode.Call me childish or whatever.If's all these aren't cool.Then what is?But all that aside.The main reason why I couldn't stop watching the show was because of the love story between the vampire slayer Ma Xiaoling and the vampire Kuang Tianyou.
Seriously.On one hand.You have Ma Xiaoling trying to escape from her feelings for Kuang Tianyou because of 3 reasons.One.Her family line disallowed her to shed a single tear for anyone or she'll lose all her slayer powers.Two.Her best friend was in love with Kuang Tian You.And thirdly.He was a vampire and she was a slayer,so she would definitely not be able to bring herself to kill him in future if she fell in love with him now.
On the other.We have Kuang Tianyou who also couldn't face up to his feelings for Ma Xiaoling for 3 reasons.One.After being paired up constantly,he was currently together with Wang Zhen Zhen,Ma Xiaoling's best friend and couldn't bear to hurt her.Two.He couldn't really decide who he loved more and thus didn't wanna hurt either one of them.Three.He was a vampire that would never die and thus did not want himself to be hurt when death separates Ma Xiaoling from him.
All these can be summarised to one thing.
The perfect love tragedy.
Again.Like I said earlier.
Call me weird if you want.But I prefer the tragic kind of love story to those 'happily ever after' kinds that most people like.
Why?
Because they're more true to life.
But also because.I'm a bloody pessimist.
Anyway.Thus for the next 2 weeks.Besides going to school,the rest of my time was spent watching episode after episode.And though the entire series,part one,two and three was in total 120 episodes long,I never seemed to have gotten sick,bored or tired of the show the past 2 weeks.I only got more and more 'into' the show,finding myself to be more and more like an actual character in the show itself,who was watching everything happening around him.
In fact.It got to a point whereby I couldn't really differentiate between the show and reality.And I swear I'm not exaggerating or lying.Which was why the closer I got to the ending of the show,the more I didn't really want it to end.Because once it ended,I would have to go back to the harsh reality and face all the problems I was facing before.And I didn't really felt like doing that.I only wanted to continue watching the story between the two of them,which felt so real and true to life,but yet was all jsut a show.
.......
I know I know.I'm beginning to sound like a story write or advertisier for the damn show.Anyway.Of course I'm old enough by now to realise my priorities.Especially since my Mid Sem test was coming everything.Which was why despite how much I dreaded it,I finished off the final few episodes in a rush.
Which sadly,was kind of a lousy ending to the story after 120 bloody episodes.Anyway.After all that I promptly started studying(something I shoulda started doing a while ago)for my upcoming test after Chinese New Year.
Which is exactly what I'm doing now.
Ok fine.What I was doing before I took this break to write my blog.
Anyway.I think it's time that I hit my books again.
Will be back real soon with another entry.
Until then.
Seeya guys.
P.S.
Sorry but there isn't going be any photo of the day for this entry either.I really couldn't decide what photo to post in the end.So...till the next entry I guess.

God.
I swore I would have gone up to the lecturer and strangled her to death right there right then.
If murder here in Singapore won't get me the death penalty that is.
Damn that stupid lecturer man.
I really studied like hell for this afternoon's damn test.
I mean.
Me.Mr Chua Kok Keng.Studying.
That in itself is a miracle comparable to snow here in Singapore.
Seriously.
Moreover.I was really stressed out by this test because it was this module was kinda like Biology in nature and I never took Biology before.
Which is why mugged real hard fro this test the past few nights.
And fortunately.My effort paid off.I knew how to answer most of the questions.
OR SHOULD I SAY UNFORTUNATELY.
Quote from lecturer after the test.
"YOU ALL AH.REALLY MAKE ME VERY DISAPPOINTED.I THOUGHT I HAD MUTUAL TRUST WITH YOU GUYS.SO LET YOU GUYS SIT BESIDE EACH OTHER.YET SOME OF YOU WENT AND CHEAT IN THE TEST.AND AS IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH,SOME OF YOU EVEN HELPED YOUR FRIENDS TO CHEAT.DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW.SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN SKIPPING MY CLASSES,YET STILL CAN GET HIGH MARKS OR EVEN FULL MARKS.YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE.NOW I GONNA CALL SOME OF YOU OUT AND TEST YOU ON THE SPOT.ESPECIALLY PEOPLE SITTING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CLASS.I GOT A GOOD MIND TO GIVE ALL OF YOU A RETEST."
And upon saying that.She promptly rested her eyes towards the direction where me,Alvin and Faizah was sitting.
I mean seriously.WHAT THE HELL?
Just because we skipped her class once.She got a good mind to call the whole bunch of us cheaters.I don't care really about the people from other classes.But the damn lecturer actually had the cheek to use that lame excuse and call us cheaters.Come on man.People who skip your classes can't study at home?They have to sit in your boring "read from the powerpoint slides" lecturer in order to pass?And jsut because they got high marks.They cheated?
What the fuck?
At that point of time.I really wished she called my name.So that I can go up to her and answer all of her damn questions.After doing the test I'm quite confident to say I should be able to return(answer) any amount of "firepower(questions)" she bestows upon me.Man.I'm so pissed off man.And waht made it worse was that.She acutally demanded that Faizah redo the test next week.I mean.Even though I and her were jsut normal classmates.I really felt damn pissed off for her sake.Me,Alvin and her were sitting together during the test so I can definitely vouch that she and Alvin did not cheat in the damn test man.
Just because of some stupid idiots who went and help their friends cheat in the test and then ran away from the damn class.And of course mainly the lecturer's plain stupidty.We had to suffer such a great injustice.Seriously.
What the fuck?
Some P.H.D holder she is.
More like Permanant Head Damage.
P.S.This tone of mine is a bit rude.But necessary.Or else even if I don;t explode on the outside.I'll implode form the inside.For once.Just once.I actually studied.And this has to happen.
........
Nevermind.
Anyway.Here is the photo for the day.
A real classic taken at Seoul Garden on Valentine's Day last year.Bryan,Jess me and Sheena respectively.Decided to post this as the picture of the day as it kinda matched my current feelings right now.

Life can really be funny at times.
There I was rotting away at home yesterady with nothing to do the entire day except watch episode of Date With A Vampire(an old Hong kong Drama series which I'm beginning to really like)until it got to a point when I really couldn't take it anymore,and thus decided to go online to see if there were any friends who wanted to go out.
Even though it was already like....almost 8.30 pm when I did so.
Expectedly,I saw only Chun online.Who's name also happened to be the only one that didn't have the (Away) sign.Decided to ask him if he had any plans for the evening and found out he really wanted to go cycling.Of course,being a cyclist myself,I was obviously thrilled at the idea of going night cycling to town,and would have agreed readily and without hesistation if it was in the apst.
This time however.I hesistated for a moment,suddenly remembering that it's been eons since I last maintained my bike,and that it was in real bad shape.Not to mention that my bike was almost 6 years old.And should have been scrapped a long time ago.Just that I felt so attached and used to it that each time it broke down,I would spend quite a sum repairing it,simply refusing to buy a new bike.
But I guess.All good things must come to an end.And indeed,when I decided to go cycling with Chun in the end after an unsuccesful attempt at psychoing him to go out for a drink instead,I realised that my bike was almost ready to go.Anytime now.Everything about it felt wrong.The gears...the wheels...the brakes...
In the end however.I decided to push my luck and rode the bike out with Chun.
Always been a ridiculous risk-taker.
Anyway.Back to the point now.(Now why did I suddenly talk about that all of a suddeny.)As I was saying.There I was having nothing to do at all for the entire day,with absolutely nobody jioing me to go out or something.And then suddenly,while we were taking a pit stop at a BP station,my phone rang for the first time that day.
It was Jerlyn.Told me that she,Hiro and Jess were going out to a palce near theirs for supper.And wanted me to join them.Now.I am a person who never liked refusing a friend.Especially close pretty close ones like these.Which was why I was suddenly caught in a dilemna.
Just when I finally decided to take a risk and go cycling with Chun.Someone had to call and jio me for something.AFTER AN ENTIRE DAY OF LITERAL 'RADIO SILENCE'.
What a joke.
But fortunately.I managed to come up with sort of a 'one stone two bird plan'.I asked Chun if he mind cycling through town and then to my friends' location to join us all for supper.And fortunately.He was quite on so he agreed without much of a fuss.
And thus.After an exciting trip through town against extremely dangerous traffic.Me and Chun were on our way down to meet Jerlyn and Jess when suddenly,my phone rang again.This time.It was Desmond.He was in town and asked me I happened to be in town too cause he wanted to jio me for karaoke.
I eman seriously.WHAT THE HELL.
This time however.It was pretty obvious I could no longer not refuse Desmond and thus,I told him about the situation and apologized for not being able to join him.Desmond ,being Desmond.Was oviosuly very understanding and told me he'll me agian enxt time.And thus.We proceeded on with our journey and barely 30 mins later.We arrived at the location where my friend were having supper.Introed Chun to my friends.Then discovered that one of my friends were camp amtes with Chun alst time.
What a small world.
Anyway.Had a lot of fun playing dai dee,talking cock and of course eating with the whole lot of them.And with all of us feeling rather tired,especially me and CHun.We called it a night at around 12.30 am.
The trip back was rather painful,with my knees screaming for mercy as I got nearer and nearer to my house.But the worst was yet to come.As Chun and I split our ways at a unction to return home,out of nowhere rushed out this huge,black and extremely furious mongrel,who almost scared me to death.
God.It was damn fast.And I barely escaped from it as I pedalled for dear life and managed to miss him biting my leg by barely a few inches.Man.How unlucky can I get.
Again.Back to my point.(I'm really writing out of point huh.)Slept like a pig yest night,and only woke up in the the afternoon.Following which I proceeded to continue watching Date With A Vampire.(I'm really feeling a deep sense of Deja Vu here.)All the way until around 3 pm.Upon which I suddenly realised I was late for my meeting with the clique.
And obviously.Being an hour late,I got many glares and stares when I arrived.But luuckily.I had pretty tolerant and understanding friends.So everyone settled down for a nice chat.And everything went well until I found out that there were all going their separate ways after the chit chat session.
Of course.I got a pretty rude shock.I was thinking that were most probably gonna have other plans after the chatting session and thus did not make other plans beforehand.And suddenly.I realised I was in a prety screwed up situation.And the funny thing was that made things worse was.All of a sudden,none of my other friends were free to be jioed out.
Damn.God must really be playing a joke on me man.This is like the exact opposite situation from yesterday.
Fortunately for me though.Just as I had wandered around Bugis for sometime and was deciding to go home.Sheen calledme and asked me join her for coffee at The Forum Coffee Bean.And funny enough,I discovered that she was kinda in the same plight as ne.And thus,walking from Bugis to forum.I had a chit chat session again with Sheena.After which.Bryan was nice enough to take cab down all the way from the airport and picked us up along the way to go to PS's Plaza Singapura for dinner.Which we ended at around 11 and went home.
Man.How oxymoronic can my life get.I mean...Yah.
I think you get it right.
Ok.Time to go watch Date With A Vamp again.Ja Ne.
P.S.Firstly.Have to apologize for not putting up a photo as I promised last time.Really been quite hectic these few days.And then.Wanna apologize for not being able to put a photo up again today.I swear.I'll put more pictures up in the next entry.Dun want people to die of boredom here on my blog.Seeya guys.

Sign....Barely 3 days into my resolution.
And I've already broken it.I made a resoltion to blog everyday.
And I didn't do so yest.
........
But then again.Come to think of it.If I were to blog everyday,my blog entries would probably sound roughly the same every other day.
Since life is currently so boring,monotonous and repeatitive.I mean seriously.I really think that the stuff I've been doing for the past fews days had were pretty much the same.
Insomnia.Dragging myself to school.Falling asleep in class.Sleeping all thw way home on the bus.Bathing.Studying.Blogging.And sleeping again.
And then the next day.The cycle repeats itself.
And the day after.
And so forth.
........
Ok.Including my constant complaints about my sucky f*ed up life as well.
Well.You can't really blame me you know.
My life really sucks big time.
Particularly these few days.
Again.Don't wanna go into much details except for the fact that my Mid Semester Test was coming in 3 weeks time and I hardly knew shit.Hope starting on Monday wasn't too late.
Anyway.Something interesting did happen today however.Not much but definitely more interesting than my usual routine that's for sure.Me Alvin,Jess and Lina together with Ken's CD(Character Development)Group went to Tampines Home for the Mentally Disabled to do some community service.Now.Sad to say.We were only there because we had to clock 10 hours for our community service project.And not because our conscience got the better of us,making us realise how fortunate we were making the decision to contribute a little to society.
Though I have to comment and commend that everyone actually treated the community service very seriously and did it to the best of their extent.Which kinda sparkles a glimmer of hope that we youngsters nowsdays may not be that cold hearted,self centred and spoilt.Good job everyone.
As for the aftermath however.I can only say that I literally dragged myself home after sweeping the entire Tampines Home backyard with Alvin,ChyyeChye and Meng Seng.Guess it's really been a while since all of us did any real housework.Nevermind.We still got 4 more weeks of service left to fulfil.Plenty of time to get used to it.
.......
Anyway again.Was thinking of taking a rest when I reached home.But Cashe,my neighbourhood had to call at that moment and jio me for dinner with hi before he left for patrol that night.Having "bang seh"ed him for swimming for a few times already,I felt quite bad and thus decided to join him.Had a good chat at the Central's upper level foodcourt.As he left for work.I decided to ask Bryan to come over my house to copy the sutff he nedded or wanted from my com since I was feeling rather sick of studying after the apst 2 nights and decided that I should take a break today.
Yet in the end.I still sat down adn did my homework.
Until this ungodly hour.
What is wrong with me?
In the past.Something like that would never happen.
I would never do homework whether or not I was tired.
Yet..
My insomnia is really affecting me I guess.
In fact.I think I'm about to go nuts.
From the lack of sleep.
And the damn bloody tiring school timetable.
........
Ok.Enough said.Gonna go catch up on some sleep.
Whether I could or not.
Wish me luck man.
Adieu.
P.S.This time.I really am too tired to post a picture.Will edit this entry later on and post the photo.I thank all readers for their kind understanding and support.(Now this sounded downright corny).
Tuesday, January 11, 2005
It's almost 2 in the morning now.
Actually I won't really use the word almost.Since I'm always awake at this time of the night anyway.However.The only thing difference about me being awake tonight was that.
I was actually staying up to study.
Well.Actually I'm done for the night.Guess that 'work' engine of mine is gonna take some time to really warm up.The result of having too much fun and slacking all this while even though holidays were long over.Serves me right I guess.
But sad to say.If that were the only reason why I was still studying at this time of the night.I would be feeling very much happier than what I was currently feeling right now.I can only say that today has simply been a really screwed up day for me.Well.Not in the physical kind of way.But mentally.
I feel like I'm experiencing the storm of the century inside my brain.
Everything's just swirling and spinnning and....
Yah.I think you got what I meant.
Actually.
I'm just missing someone really badly I guess.
And waht's worse.That person seem to be in a "semi-ignoring-me" mood..
Which is making me feel kinda miserable inside.
For a while now.
Until today that is.
When I realised that I hardly understood a damn thing the lecturer was talking about on the board.
Obviously.
That woke me up like a rude slap.
Which kinda led me to where I was right now.Updating my blog in the wee hours of the morning.Having just finished studying for the day.
........
I mean.It's me.
Neo.
Studying?
Doesn't that sound a bit weird?
Me?
Studying.
........
Man.
I gotta go get some sleep.
Ja Ne.
P.S.And yes.I would like to proudly like to announce that my New Year Resolution(yes a bit later but better late than never)would be to update my blog daily!
(Waits for applause)
.......
Ok nevermind.Anyway.I didn't forget the photo of the day.Here it is.
Me,my Sis and our cute little cousin in China.Took this picture last,last December when me,Mum and Sis went back to Grandma's hometown together with her for a visit.Now.Ain't that little girl just adorable?!?(Oh my God.Why do I sound so bimboic all of a sudden?)
Sunday, January 09, 2005
Well.
What can I say.
She told me not to look for her at her workplace because she didn't really find her current job appealing depsite me telling her numerous times that a job is a job and there is nothing to feel embarassed about if it is a proper way of earning your own keep.
In the end.I promised her not to go anyway.
And before any of you begin to misunderstand who the she is in the paragraph above again.She is just a friend.Nothing more.
At the moment that is.
Anyway.In the end.I listened to her.
Well sort of anyway.Because by the time I reached her workplace which was quite close to my home.It was already closed for the day.Which was already pretty obvious to me to begin with.Just that I'm the kind of person who would like to try my luck despite what the chances are.And in this case,what the time is
Actually.I think that I just wanted to see her.Even if it meant only catching a glimpse of her.Obviously without her knowledge of course.You know.Just pass by the workplace without entering it.In that way.I wouldn't be going back on my word.
I kinda miss her.
But that aside.Today was a relatively interesting day.For the first time in a long time.I actually went for fellowship after the sermon.My new class for the year(thankfully)included my best childhood buddies which definitely made it a hell lot more interesting that my last class.And of course.Who can forget the new girls that just joined the class as well.
Whoaa.
Ok.Before I am called a dirty old man who goes to church only for the sake of ogling at girls again.I have to say something.My church is the really traditional kind whereby guys have to sit separately from girls during sermons and do not have any rock band playing for our hymn singing whatsoever.But I guess the important point to note would be that.
There are very few pretty girls.
Yah.
Enough said I guessed.Anyway.After church and all.Went waling around Orchard,City Hall and finally Bugis Junction with a friend to look for some candle wax as he wanted to make a birthday present for his girlfriend.In the end.After all the searching,he decided he would jsut bring her to Funan Centre and ask her to choose an mp3 player of her choice.
What the hell man.
And after all that shopping.Went down to play mahjong with some friend which I really had not met up with for a looooonnng time.Sadly.One of them from the clique was missing as usual.But funny enough.My buddies from that clique always had their ways and means of looking for a missing 4th player eventually.For today.It was my friend's girlfriend.
Who amazingly enough.Won money from all 3 of us in the end.
I was as usual.The worst loser.But somehow.Today.I didn't really feel any anger or the unsportmanslike feelings well up within me.in fact.I felt pretty happy.Guess the major contributing factor was that I really had fun.And also.
Someone rather wise woke me up to my senses recently.
When he talked to me about money and stuff.
Thanks Tycoon Pig.
I really see what you mean now.
And I do feel happier.
In a way lah.
Ok.That's it for the day I guessed.
Here's another photo to satisfy the image hungry readers of this boring boring boring blog.
Me and my best bud Kev.Otherwise known as Tycoon pig.All dressed up and ready to....
Lame people to death!
I have been doing some thinking for the past few days.And decided that I should really start writing my blog in a more personal,true to life and unflowery language kinda way.It is almost reaching a point whereby I really hae to drag myself to do a blog entry.And that simply sucks.Because I know that I really have so many thought I want to write about,and record everyday.But yet.Dread to write a blog about them because of all the trouble it involved in editing my grammar and language and what not.Therefore.From here on out.I'm not gonna care about my language.Or my usage of words.Or what not.
Just pure,simple and straightforward.
Ok.Here goes.
These past week has really been,putting it simply:pure hell.The mid semester tests are like almost here already.And yet.I haven't really understood a single thing that has been taught since day 1 of the new semester.Blame it on the holiday mood that simply refuses to go away or whatever.Anyway I found out that I was really kinda screwed.And even as I'm saying this.I still have not done any studying or revising up to date even though today was saturday and I kinda purposely stayed at home to study.
Arg.
And somehow.Worst of all.I'm beginning to feel that I may really never get back down to my studying mood.Because of certain factors.Which I don't think I would want to elaborate here.I can only say that.Now I truely understand why single people admire attached people and vice versa.I would like to highlight however that the above statement is just a comment and doesn't necessarily mean something.So think of it whatever way you choose.
Anyway.With revision work piling up to literally my neck.I dunno why I'm still not doing anything about it.It's like.That damn car engine that simply refuses to start on a cold day.And I really hope that I get my engine started up real soon.Or else I'm absolutely screwed.Also.I really kinda hope that everything else that's giving me a bloody headache right now works out in one way or the other eventually.
........
Now.
I really need to get some sleep.
Good Night.
P.S.Here's a photo at the end of every blog entry from now on to keep bored readers from dozing off in front of their computer because of my damn monotonous life.
Best buddies and supper kakiz.Me,Chang(Shrek) and Cashe(Gu Wa Zai).

Hey everyone.
A very belated Merry Christmas to all of you.
And of course a Happy New Year as well.
Now who would have thought that another year would have passed by just like that.
But before I go into any personal stuff.
I guess all of you would already have known about the catastrophe that occured recently.
A ver sad terrible way to end off 2004.
As a mark of respect.
Let's all observe a minute of silence for all of the victims of the Killer Tsunamis in Asia.
Seriously.
-----------
Definitely.
This catastrophe has shown us just fragile life is.
And the power of Mother Nature's fury.
I really think all of us have some thinking to do.
But more importantly.This catastrophe has shown us just how fortunate most of us are.
As in the fact that we are living in Singapore.
We haven't experienced any natural disasters so far.
We have enjoyed decades of peace.
And all of us have more than enough to eat.
Which is why we should really be grateful.
And treasure the things we have.
Our lifes.Our families.Our loved ones.
All of them.
Ok.
I guess we've all gotten it in one way or the other.
On a lighter note.
This year's christmas has really been the wildest one of my life.
Never had so much fun before in my entire life.
Mostly due to the fact that 2 of my best friends are back from overseas.
And with them back.
It seemd like the group gatherings of our clique increased ten fold at least.
And everyone could finally have proper get togethers for the first time in an entire year.
And catch up with one another.
I think a picture says a thousand words.
Which is why I'll leave the rest to the photos I'm about to show you.
Taken at the Christmas Eve Countdown and Jessie's birthday respectively.
Now.On Christmas Eve.Jessie met me,Kevin Bryan at City Hall MRT in Cousin's car together with his 2 kids.Don't ask me why we call him cousin.We just decided to call him that.Anyway.Me,Jessie and Kevin were actually planning on going over to the Ritz for a drink or 2.As well as join in their countdown celebrations.But the problem was.When we reached there,we discovered that the place was already full.And obviously nobody would be leaving until after the countdown.In the end.We decided we would go over to Lau Pa Sat to grab some good foof as well as do a mini countdown celebration by ourselves.Now who would have thought that halfway there,Jessie came up with the "brilliant idea" of going over to this cocktail bar in Sentosa's Sjiori Resort(or so she thought)to have the countdown.Which was quite pointles because on our ride there.We did the countdown on the car.Screaming at the top of our lungs.It was so much fun.Just imagine.A Mercedes Benz holding 2 kids,4 guys and a girl.What a ride it was man.
Anyway.Upon reaching Sjiori Resort.We were shocked to hear from the counter personnel that there wasn;t a cocktail bar in their hotel at all!Jess had remembered wrongly!God.I swore we could have killed her.In the end.We could only go back to the car and started driving around the much deserted and dark Sentosa island once again.Luckily for us though.We eventually found ourselves seated comfrotably at the dining lounge of the Beaufort Hotel Sentosa sipping away at some fantastic cocktails.Lucky for Jess.
From left to right:Me,Cousin and Kids,Jessie,Kevin and Bryan.As we held up our glasses.We toasted ourselves to a very unique Christmas at the Beaufort Sentosa.
Me and Kevin.Now before you think I pissed him off or something.I haveto sy soemthing.He looks like this in most of his photos.None of my business....
Jess and me.As usual,she's putting on her million dollar Colgate toothpaste smile.Andme.Looking weird as usual.
Bryan and me.Or rather.Agent Smith and Neo.Spot the uncanny similarities in our differences?
Cousin and his two kids.Now don't they look absolutely adorable?
Now.Maybe I was too tired from having stayed up till 4 the previous night.Or maybe I jsut plainly wanted to sleep at that time.Anyway.While the others sipped their drinks and had a real good caht.I was happily sleeping away.And when they woke me up eventually.It was tie to leave.For home?NOPE.Apparently good old Jess had other plans.We were going down to checkers to meet her 2 good friends Jill and Jalene.Unfortunately.I was probably still quite groggy from my sleep or soemthing.Whihc was why i didn't take any pictures.But not to worry though.Pictures of them can be seen from Jessie's Birthday pics later.
However.As the famous saying goes.Even if the mind is willing.The body is however.Vey weak.Which is why I shall say tat for now.Need to cacth up on some sleep.
Therefore.Till the next entry.
Good night folks!
P.S.Now before I leave you guys alone for the night.What better way to embrace the New Year than to get a new look.
Prsesenting....
