2006 will retire in 5 hours time. I wonder if 2007 will bring better fortunes and luck for all of us (including you, currently reader of this blog). Will write a review of 2006 like what I did early in 2006 if I am up to it. I can say 2006 was really an exciting year and also a journey into the unknowns and pains (and gains) of working life.

So goodbye 2006 and welcome 2007!

There is a something I heard from my friend:
"In uni, the ocean is very big, very abundance. But when come out to work, it has reduce to a very very small puddle."

I would add " .. when come out to work, the ocean is still very big, but you need better equipment and resources to to get those that are swimming deeper."

Either way, both also doesn't sound good.

P.S: I just cannot get the pictures to stay close together for the previous post, oh well.

Went over to Hui Ling's house for her Christmas Eve party. Stayed up very late till 5 in the morning to keep Woon's friend company after he drank a little too much alcohol. Anyway it was a mixture of a wild party and a good reunion for us since I met with some of the 5B gang. No other former 5A students in sight (where are you guys?). HL also invited some of her UM kaki along too, and I must say they are far more crazy than us (except maybe for Pravin though).

Anyway I did not take any beer/vodka/wine as I know my face will surely become very very very red and I am unable to go home after that. After all, I have tried alot already; Korean wine, australian red, white wine, vodka, local beer, aussie beer and of course XO. Also I dun want to humiliate myself in front of everyone :P

Many thanks to Hui Ling for organizing this party and Merry X'mas and a happy new Year!

Woke at 11am and I found a fun wrapped package on my table. I have no idea what was inside it. Really, no idea. I wasn't expecting a single Christmas present this year at all (Blame it on the fact that I got no gf so I dunno what it is like to give/receive gifts for/from love ones, unlike my bro the romeo). So what are the contents?

Isn't he cute? as soon as you open it you can see the cute smiling face of this soft toy.












It also came with a cardboard box to keep whatever I fancy (lovebirds out there, I know you will be filling it up with stars, love letter, cutesy items etc etc, but I will try to fill something more useful inside).









Anyway I place the soft toy together with Philip the penguin (from Philip Island) and the kangaroo from Australia. I figured this is the best place to place them as all of them are overlooking the door to my bedroom. Now all three are in good company :)








Here is a close-up shot of the soft toy I received. Apparently this is a soft toy for the next Chinese New Year which is the year of the Pig. The chinese character on its necklace says "abundance". Looking forward to a great 2007.

Before I forget, I would like to thank my parents for giving me this surprise gift :)

Meet up with Chok, Hui ling, teck seng, woon and ching last night. It was pretty late actually at 11.30pm, especially when the next day i need to go to work. Gosh got to learn to take more leave so that can zzzzz more.

Really long time have not meet up with Chok nor Teck Seng.

Anyway i tried taking photos and even videos, but the enviroment was too dark even for night mode. Dun want to use flash otherwise like lighthouse attracting ppl.

If all goes well tomolo will meet up with my friend which got the Measat scholarship.

My bro has been shopping around the major colleges to see where to go next. Last Sunday followed him to Taylor at Leisure Business Centre (Bali there, in front of Motorola), Taylor at SS15, Inti Subang and Segi next to Summit. Needless to say, he is spoilt for choice. Targetting either Interior Design, Graphics, Business, Accounting..... anything but Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. Dunno what he'll do though...

Yesterday already went to the ONE Academy at Sunway and Limkokwing at Putrajaya to have a look. Didn't went to Sunway coz Sunway doesn't offer anything he is interested.

I remember during my time i was easy, just mechanical engineering FTW.

The weekend is HERE!!!!

Whoppie!!

** Tries out the Calsberg Christmas edition beer with family***

I would say that the beer is less bitter than the normal Calsberg, but the bottle is small though, only 325 ml. Even the Australian beer is 375 ml.

Another thing, the wifi modem is spoil!! So have to move right up to the telephone point with a normal dial-up modem.

My brother has just completed his SPM. SO with his new found freedom he went to watch Casino royale at Pyramid, progress through Gears of War faster than me and will pick up driving lessons very very soon. The fight for the dropship keys is still wayy ahead but it will come very soon.

Anyway too busy and tired to do anything as usual. Bought the new Xbox 360 game Gears of War. The graphics are extremely top-noutch especially when viewed on a HDTV.

Today I went to a bungalow site at Country Heights Damansara which is located near the Pengchala toll. Pretty hilly area, ideally suited to build your extremely overpriced, large, beautiful, feng shui optimized mansion. As I went downhill on the way home tried the LOW gear on my car for the first time. My car never went up to Genting before. The furthest it went was Nilai and that was a good 5 to 7 years after it was purchased. So low and behold, after engaging low gear (which is "L") the car slowed down when going downhill. Pressing the brakes was not required, instead need to press the gas a little to go faster. Now I understand why the "L" gear is placed there.
