Happy New Year 2006! It's going to be such a weird year ahead... it's the first year that I'm starting to feel old. It's the year that I'd be 23 years old.. remember when I was in Primary or Secondary school or even JC I used to think my 23 year old cousins were terribly old.. and now that I've reached (or going to reach) that age.. I'm beginning to think that my mentality is still stuck in that of a 18 year old. And this year being the year of the Dog (my year) doesn't help in making me feel younger.. well.. it's another 12 years.
Don't really have the urge to blog after coming back from Taiwan.. There are many things to say but just lazy.. ha as usual.
New Year Celebrations
It's our 3rd year in the Esplanade. This year the crowd got a million times bigger coz of the 9 min fireworks publicity. Should go there earlier next year so that we can have a waterfront view of the fireworks (like 3 yrs ago). Though we managed to squeeze on top of the bridge at the back of hoardes of people.. we still managed to catch the spectacular display of fireworks!
Then I started to wonder how things would be like if I spent that time with the Vento gang instead.. aye..
Holiday Movie Mania
Caught Chronicles of Narnya before the countdown.. Really liked it a lot.. If someone threw all 7 books on Chronicles in front of me I will read them all! (yeah I'm lazy to go down to library / bookshop to get them myself). Like the Harry Potter movies I can't wait for them to start filming the other movies.
Just downloaded and watched 如果.爱. It's a nice arty farty show with a tinge of Phantom of the Opera in it. Songs and dance are nice. Not something worth watching in the theatre.. but definitely worth downloading.
And yes.. together with King Kong and all the movies I watched on the plane like "James Bond", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "七剑", "The Island" and on TV in Taiwan "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" "功夫", "猴拳".. I watched 10 movies in all! And besides the latter 2 the others are those that I've missed out and really want to watch! What a well-spent holiday.. haha...
Broke
Well.. I've never been this broke. The bank can't even deduct the full $5 service charge from my reserve bank account (which used to be full and fat). At least it's a consolation that I have about a thousand bucks yet to be claimed back or lent out (which I actually am not sure if I can get the money back). It seems that the wretched CSM has borrowed lotsa money from his other Specs as well and they have been hounding him to no avail.. so I guess I gotta wait.....
So this new year countown has been my cheapest yet.. skipped dinner.. paid only $1 for tidbits and prob $2 for cabfare. (Not including the $9.50 movie ticket which shouldnt' be included as part of the couuntdown ha)
Banking on my Tuition fee coming in soon.. Next next week I hope.
Lounge Repainting
Really excited about tomorrow coz the now messy and smelly lounge is going to undergo a revamp! New paint.. cleaning the furniture.. disposing off the rubbish.. and the plants and stones idea keeps getting into my head.. haha thanks to the 摆家乐 Channel 8 show and the realisation that the nice stones are koppable aka FREE!
Well.. just hope that everything goes smoothly and can be completed by tomorrow... And hope that we will have some help tomorrow.. it's sure to be very fun..
Talking about help.. Meiqiang actually asked me what time we are starting.. very very 感动 by that actually.. Actually she's been a great support this holidays.. going for the Sakae Sushi outing.. with the excuse of "我突然间想来support你一下".. being one of the first to arrive at Huiqing's place (the 1st non block-comm member in fact) and now actually expressing wanting to help tomorrow. Whoa.. 万分感动...
Another person that has been of GREAT help was Sir Matt Mah.. all the way from IBG to the Block Newsletter to BuayaWeek Videos to turning up for EVERY block activity to offering his Christmas Tree to doing the Photo Collage for us.. I really don't know how to thank him enough..
And thinking back another person that turned up for EVERY block activity is Gabe.. though often after much of my whinings.. haha. And Dong too.. and also special mention to Shyuan who will try to join us and msg me if she really can't.
To all of you peeps.. THANK YOU VERY MUCCHHHHHHHHHHH...
To my beloved block comm.. 1 semester more.. 熬过去吧.. promise to treat good one.. if i become rich by then..
To a great 2006!
