Updates

2 months since I last updated my blog..So many things have happened since then, which I think I should update my well-beings to those who have been checking out my blog, only to turn away with disappointment for seeing the same posts over and over..Let's see what I have done for the past 2 months..

Firstly, I went on a trip to Hong Kong in November. A 7D6N trip. Yes, Hong Kong again..This time not to do shopping, but to take in the scenery and enjoy the 'out of town' feeling. I visited places like DisneyLand, Lantau Island, The Peak, Ocean Park, etc etc.. Places which I didn't visit during my last trip to Hong Kong. The overall trip was fun and fulfilling, I shall upload some photos when I have a better connection.(Yes, I'm blogging at work again ;p)

Secondly, I satisfied one of my cravings. I got a Nintendo Wii =) I spent a total of 690 SGD at Sim Lim Square for my Wii package. Of course, it was a modified set. Do you think I will settle for a non modified set? Haha, for those who know me, I support PIRACY!! As I believed, why pay more when you can get it cheaper?

Thirdly, I had a 'not so good' Christmas. It all started with a small gathering at one of my friend's house. 2nd year running, we went to this friend's house to 'celebrate' Christmas. Basically, we did nothing much except to drink, and not those normal drinks...mixed drinks.. The worst I got was this Black Label + Baileys + Red Wine + Beer..Luckily, even after not drinking for some time, I didn't get drunk on that drink. However, that drink did caused an upset stomach for me for the next few days..

Lastly, 2 days back, I went for a gathering with my buddies. The 'bonking in Australia' one came back for Chinese New Year, so we decided to have a get-together. We went for a 'nourishing' dinner at Joo Chiat, followed by Settler's Cafe in Holland Village. Had some fun playing 'Lord of The Rings' version of monopoly. It's interesting to reminisce the good old times playing those kinda games. Quality time well spent. We chilled at Wala Wala after that, where we popped a few drinks before heading home.

Now, that more or less settles the main updates for the past 2 months. As for those small details, I shall update again when I have the time.. Looks like I have to spend a bit more time on this blog of mine. The initial fire which got me started had died down quite a lot, since there is so much to do at work now. Oh, just a quick update on my work portion. Why am I still at work now? Basically, some @#%#$ planned the reservist schedule to be packed during the December period. I have been having back to back In Camp Trainings since I came back from my Hong Kong trip. During this period when everyone is clearing their leaves and resting at home, I am slogging at work.. sigh.. hopefully next Christmas will be better.

Ok, time to stop. I will update the other information soon, when I have more time =)
