I can’t believe it’s that time of the year again! Time to sit and ponder and feel guilty about not fulfilling the resolutions… luckily I stopped making resolution two years ago.
Yay yay yay! 呸呸呸! Good riddance to bad rubbish!
Alright, to be fair, 2008 had its share of good stuff too.
Presenting… ‘2008: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly‘
Good:
1) Helped out and attended countless weddings. It’s nice to watch your friends reach another milestone of their lives.
2) Had a new cohost. Robin’s a great chap too.
3) Baby Trisha said hi to the world. WAY TOO CUTE PICTURE!!!
4) Travelled. Hong Kong, JB, Desaru, Batam, Redang, London, Boston, New York.
5） Met up with my dear friends who are overseas. SL, Yik, C, J, R, D etc.
Still working on my Boston vid.
Here’s the NYC one with Norah Jones crooning in the background.
Not sure when I’ll be back again, but it’s a city that always have a special place in my heart.
I spent the third morning in New York painting school walls in Harlem.
C was involved in a team building project and she roped me in to help. Since I hadn’t exactly gone into Harlem before, I thought, yea sure. So we just got back from the school, with slightly blue fingers (paint streaked), sore necks (from tilting our heads up), and a great sense of accomplishment.
Trip’s pretty good so far. London was fantastic. It even snowed a little! WHOA~ And SL showed me the ‘real‘ London, which I doubt would be in any Lonely Planet guide. We had so many adventures I don’t even know where to begin! Some I can’t say coz I’d be killed. HAHA!!! It’s always great to spend time with old friends.
Here’s a picture taken at the club during Halloween’s weekend:
Then I flew off to Boston and crashed over at Hock’s place. Can you believe this guy??? He actually cooked me fried bee hoon on the first morning… Just like the good old days!!! Back Bay is gorgeous, especially with the gold and red autumn foliage. Hock’s crazy too, so we spent a lot of time laughing our heads off at really stupid things.
Managed to have dinner with D, SY and their adorable kids too. Their little boy was confused as to how to address me, so I was called ‘Jie-jie-mummy-auntie’ for a while. Quite a mouthful for a two year old!
After a numbing four hour bus ride, I arrived in NYC on Thursday night. Note to self:bring less stuff when traveling. Staying over at R and C’s place right now and Time Square is just next door. I love the skyline that greets me in the morning. And yea, painting is fun too…
Couple of hours later, I’ll be on my way to see the Queen.
A few days later, I’ll be checking out the US elections in Boston.
Then after, I’ll be saying hi to Time Square again.
Blimey! I’m super excited!
I don’t know where to start. The happiness just keeps bubbling over, like the story about the porridge pot that wouldn’t stop. I’m delirious.
Six arduous years of lectures, practicals, exams, stress-induced panic attacks and buckets full of strong coffee… FINALLY OVER!!!

This is gonna sound like an Oscar winner’s speech, but I still wanna do it. *ahem* I’ll like to thank:
~ my family, for their support and for putting up with my mood swings and study mess;
~ my friends, for always scheduling appointments to suit my timetable, and for believing in me;
~ my company and my lao-ban, for being so understanding (no, shuddup. I’m not being a bootlicker);
~ my colleagues, for covering my duties when I had to run for classes and exams;
~ my classmates, for keeping my notes whenever I missed lessons and reminding me to study;
Last but not least, I know we don’t talk religion on radio, so I’d just like to thank whoever YOU believe in.

Well, I think the shoeless man stole my Havis when I left them outside the library yesterday.
Please return my slippers to me coz I really really like them…:(
