Farewell!

This time tomorrow I'd be at my favourite Changi Airport waiting to board the plane to JFK, before I hope onto the domestic flight to Providence.

Lots of people have offered their blessings, so many that it's quite impossible to name names here, but seriously a huge BOW and thank you to all who have helped me with my academic transcripts, encouraged me the past year and of course, those who bothered to turn up at gatherings to say byebye to me, even if they can't make it to the airport tomorrow.

And obviously thanks to all who are going tomorrow, all the way down to Changi, though up till now I don't quite know how many or who exactly will be coming.

I'm gonna miss everyone here, all the MG people, HC classmates, HC councilors etc, and my family obviously, SHIT MY OTHER HALF, my bed, my Sammi posters, CDs etc. so many things!!

But I think this is the beginning of a whole new experience, a whole new adventure, something I'd never dared dream of till recently. I just hope everything goes well!

And of course, to mark the commencement of my new life in university, I'm closing this blog and opening a new one, though Sammi IS still the queen alongside me heehee. Thanks if you have been remotely interested in all the silly and mundane things I have to say, but it's time to move on!!

And therefore, I declare this blog CLOSED. :)

32nd Gathering at Stef's 18/8

Haven't seen so many of these people in ages!!!! Thank God shushu was smart enough to organise this before anyone flew off, and she was pretty successful too! So many people turned up, like more than 30 people? And those who weren't there didn't turn up because they didn't.

And I took many pictures too! Unfortunately either my camera is weird or the people who took pictures for me didn't do it properly because I couldn't find some of my individual shots with people like gloree, zeze and bobbert even though I REALLY remember taking photos with them. Odd. If it's my camera maybe I should get a new, less bulky and cheaper one.

Anyhow, these are some of the photos I took, if you haven't seen them on facebook.


How do I rotate this image? Anyway we obviously had my Halfie Shit at the gathering. No gathering is fun without my Other Half!!


I don't like taking photo with Jamie because she's so skinny and hot I look so fat!! But of course I still look damn good can. Goodness my English.


Yay the LEP girls still love LEP even though none of us got As for it and it ruined our otherwise perfect scores. But it's ok we still love LEP!


Mindy and me taking a photo together (obviously). I actually think this photo is really nice because Mindy looked very pretty yesterday and this picture would have been perfect without peishan the ghost lurking at the back.


Of course we had to hug and pat the President's Scholar (the one who is following in her dad's footsteps) for good luck. LOOK EVERYONE STEPH IS MY FRIEND!!!

And of course all of Welco looks so hot!! And oops Haining our future TCM doctor is blocked in this photo. Sorry!

Helped Ecaco take this photo because somehow none (?) of them brought cameras. How intelligent! Yeowch looks super funny in this photo.

Meat the Peking girl with me. Won't see her till a year later I think, after we leave on the 29th and 30th.

Another photo in need of rotating. I feel like a hobbit next to Rong, but I choose to believe it's just the angle of the photograph.

Haha I love this photo even though the Steph isn't looking at the camera. Not very smart for a PS don't you think? HAHA!!

Had to do this three times to get it right because Cal's eyes were always closed!! But we managed to get a nice photo in the end.

Haha the she ying person took this photo for the xuan chuan people!

Paul has clearly changed his mind about who he loves most. Sorry Halfie!!

Why won't school start?

Though most people have already started school I'm still reduced to lying around waiting for things to happen. But hey I have been a busy body interfering in my darling Halfie Shit's NUS life, so life has been hip and happening as well!


Crashing KR's Star To Burst Concert

Since NUS has nothing to do with me technically there was no reason for me to hang around the campus at all, let alone the halls, but I found myself with chenjiadi on Tuesday night at Kent Ridge Hall looking lost, out of place and obviously an outsider. Well what can I do, my Halfie summoned me to come support her so I had to take 2 buses all the way down to foreign land to cheer and scream her name while she pranced around the stage doing her pirated dance moves. But ok la to be honest she was really pretty good eh and she's totally the best out of the group but like I told her it's only because I wasn't dancing next to her so she looked good. Theory of relativity, you know. Mindy should be proud.

But ok really a huge thanks and HUG to chenjiadi for accompanying me!!! She's DA BEST!


Crashing NUS Chinese Studies Lecture


And the very next day I woke up at 9am to wash the clothes and hang them dry so that I could make it to NUS yet again for a Chinese Studies Lecture. I know I am damn bored I met a lot of friends there who thought I was weird wasting my time but I think it's pretty cool to see what my friends and especially Shit will be doing in uni. Turns out the lecture was really pretty boring even though I thought his content was mildly interesting. But apparently he'll be testing things like dynasties and names of provinces which is pretty simple come to think of it but still I don't think I'd enjoy it, let only Shit. Hope she gets her alternative module then!

I'm currently watching the Japanese version of Hana Kimi now and I'm pretty impressed!! The girl Ashiya Mizuki is really pretty and Nakatsu is very adorable! Sorry I don't know the names of the actors I'm already having a hard time remembering what they are called in Japanese.

PoPo

Decided to visit my granny before I leave so my family dragged ourselves down to Kota Tinggi today. Wasn't too bad a trip, the entire journey to and fro was only about three hours unlike the usual 7-8 hour CNY trip so it was still bearable. But of course all this becomes worth it when I watch my granny beam in delight when we appeared at her doorstep.

We didn't stay for a very long time, a couple of hours or so, and we didn't do much either, just sat at the living room and chatted about the maid, school, the pains in her leg, her visits to the doctor and such. I was originally quite worried about her health when she told me she had difficulties walking but she looks in a better shape than I expected, thank God for that.

And it's so sweet of her to give me $200 for my trip because she's not normally the most generous person in the world, and frankly speaking $200 means so much to her for some reason, even though her sons are all pretty successful and she really doesn't need to scrimp or anything.

I know my granny is not the kindest soul in the world, but she really loves me a lot for some reason and I love her too. Hope she will be well!

Di's Farewell

Trekked down to Di's today for her farewell party, because she's taking the 2350 Singapore-Frankfurt-JKF-???-Indiana route to her new school, Indiana U! Indiana's supposedly an ultra party school but Di doesn't seem like the whee-let's-strip-topless type so I suppose she'll be ok. I'll miss that silly skinny bag of bones even though I seldom meet her, but I suppose I'll see her soon in December so it's not so bad.

And with Di's farewell it seems like it's only a matter of time before mindy and I leave in 2-3 weeks! I'm meeting up with as many people as I can and as frequently as possible, which is proving to be difficult since the NS people can only meet me during the weekends, and I am now forced to fit them into the breakfast slots. People like Shit and F5 are all starting school so I suppose I'll be seeing Mindy and Meat more often because only the three of us are still quite free.

I'm very excited! And yet the teeniest bit hesitant about leaving. Will I meet friends who are as indulgent towards me as the ones I have now? Will I get along with my roomie?

Cross my fingers and hope for the best!

Lunch with Wei, Dinner with Shit

Met darling Weiling who has just returned from volunteering in Japan and studying in the states today. She looked great! In her old beatles shirt and jeans and a lovely complexion. We went to Newton hawker centre because she's obviously so sick of non-Singaporean food haha so I don't think she'll be very happy since she's leaving for Columbia in 3 weeks. She invited me to her place in Seattle for thanksgiving but I told her I'll have to consider it because after asking me to join her she told me a horror story involving some turkey and chinese stuffing at her house which seriously wasn't very inviting.

I promptly dumped wei at a bookstore after inviting myself for free lunch at her house and met my Other Half Shit instead. OMG this is so cliched but WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS how much I have missed my darling cesspool!! Unfortunately she was so tired and having cramps of the female and bloody variety we were quite sedated most of the night but we concluded our meeting quite nicely with some ice-cream and spotting of someone whom I REALLY SUSPECT but cannot confirm is Sun Ho (at least I think it was her) who waiflike and was wearing a pair of shorts that LITERALLY showed half her ass and clunky platform heels and who was accompanied by an entourage of about 4 people (2 men in Ed Hardy and interesting hairdo, 1 bag woman who was carrying her bag and another that is presumably "Sun's" as well as a nanny who was running after a small boy). Well if she really was Sun Ho it really is puzzling because she was staring at the boy who must be her son (haha Sun's son) with such cold neglect and disinterest that it's chilling. Oh well maybe it's not her after all.

Anyway Sun wasn't our main focus. It's GREAT to finally reunite with my horcrux after a WHOLE week and a day!!! It feels so weird without her, as if Mindy the Demented oh oops I meant Mindy the Dementor kissed half of my soul away and I don't mean that in a good way well I can't mean it in a good way anyway. I LOVE YOU SHIT and I don't know what I am gonna do without you.

And of course I am a bit early but here's an early Happy You-Know-What to You-Know-Who on this very special day!

I miss Shit

Wow it's been so long since I've been up here! Many things have happened, we've had our saco farewell getaway which was fun as usual and my maid has been sacked so now I'm the new housekeeper and Shit has gone off for her kent ridge hall orientation!

I do miss my old bag of poo, even though I just saw her on Sunday when Meat Calcal and I helped her with her moving in and cleaning up and we spoke briefly over the phone a couple of hours ago. She such a silly pile of dung and yet I can't help but wonder how I'm gonna survive without her for so many months!

I'm in charge of washing, drying and ironing the clothes, washing the dishes and getting dinner at home, because well I'm the only unemployed slacker now. It's very mundane work but it's fine because I blast some music from my macbook and sing at the top of my voice in the afternoon when I iron and stuff so it's not so boring. My mom was pleasantly surprised that my ironing so neat and my dad was so taken aback he was rendered speechless but truth be told I have no idea I could be that gifted at housework too haha considering I've never touched an iron in my life and I never want to ever again. The only really bad thing is that my hands really smell of dishwashing liquid now, and they have that scratchy, rough feel and my skin feels like old, stretched rubber. And guess what my bro's duties are? His job is to lock the door and draw the blinds everynight, and he doesn't even do it properly because he fell asleep early today and I had to do it for him -.- But ok la he did do the dishes yesterday.

I MISS YOU SHIT when will you escape so I can see your black and squashed in face?

Deathly Hallows

I've just finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the 7th and final installment of the phenomenal Harry Potter series.

I still remember reading the very first book, Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone when I was in Primary 5 eight years ago, because I thought it looked pretty interesting. Little did I know, that marked the beginning of my tiny contribution to the meteoric rise in the sales of this magical book.

To be honest I can't say what's so attractive, and what keeps us so hooked and interested that someone as lazy as I am would be motivated enough to wake up at 6am to queue up for the damn book. Perhaps it's because Rowling melded fantasy and reality so well, that readers feel included into the wizarding world, and seriously all those people who don't read Harry Potter, those who are not in the know, are just pathetic muggles.

Anyhow though I am rather sad that it's the end, I'm quite glad the ending went the way it did. I suppose I would never have expected anything less of Ms Rowling.

Yay!

2 Days More

A lot of counting down to do these days.

Nothing much to say, because well nothing much is happening in my life, except of course anticipating the End of Suffering in an office with nothing much to do except filing and other menial and hence boring activities. But the pay is good so I'll keep quiet even though I've spent most of it on food.

Next is of course the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I don't think harry will die because it will be too obvious an ending and I doubt dear Joanne Kathleen Rowling would wish to end the book in such a cliched manner, and I think Snape is a good guy because Dumbledore should and can be trusted! Ya but seriously who cares what I or anyone thinks, let's just wait for the damn book to arrive!!

And of course today's Wednesday, 17th July, and I am officially 6 weeks away from flying off. Need to settle my packing list and other little details like my summer reading and stuff even though information about my room mate has not arrived, but I'm really excited! People ask me why I'm excited and I honestly don't know how to answer that question. How can someone who's about to start life halfway round the earth not be excited???

Why do I always have nothing funny to say on my blog? Odd.

Aftermath

I've been trying to find a new blogskin to spice up my otherwise stagnant and exciting-as-tap-water life, but I can't find anything suitable.

I have two weeks more, and believe me I AM counting down. In the meantime PLEASE contact me if you have an hour or two to spare because I'd love to have some comapny in the busy CBD.

It's ironic how there are throngs of people everywhere in those few streets, but everyone's just as lonely. You can't walk to anywhere during lunchtime without having to dodge perhaps a young man in a G2000 suit, or bumping into a middle-aged secretary-type lady with her lunch buddy by her side, but you can detect that shred of longing in their faces. Longing for what, I do not know.

It's the same when everyone starts and/or ends work. People enter the MRT, buses, elevators with a blank look on their faces. Some read, the younger ones plug in their iPods, but most of them just stare into space, perhaps thinking about which restaurant they should visit tonight with their boyfriends, or wondering how their kids are doing in school. Glance at them and they will smile automatically back with a gentle nod of acknowledgement. Everyone's friendly to know your name, perhaps where you're from or where you're going, and yet distant enough to avoid anything private. It's as if all of these executives have been given a handbook when they started work about CBD ettiquette, and all of them have had every rule memorised to the T.

A very interesting experience this has been, not a very pleasant one for me because I can't stand sitting down for too long, but I know more about office life at least. Colleagues have been exceedingly kind and patient as well.

But let's just say if I were George Orwell, I'd have plenty to add to my great novels now.

Or maybe it's just me.

Bye Bye Nat

This week has been Bye Bye Nat week.

Bye Bye Nat started officially on Wednesday with a dinner at this steak and seafood restaurant near Thomson. It was quite a bittersweet experience, as we recollected our five years together as F5, laughed about those funny and stupid things we used to do school and in JC and as Bea started to tear mid-way. Incidentally, there was a group of five or six old ladies in the table next door celebrating a friend's birthday. I wonder we'd be like that 40 years down the road, but Ass said "hope not" because the didn't look very good. It's unbelievable how shallow that woman can be.

Bye Bye Nat part II took place on Sat at her place. She invited a whole lot of people (like around 30-40) almost all of whom were AC people, so frankly I felt quite out of place but I did a bit of socialising. Thank God people like Ass, Meixi, Clare, MEGAN BARKER, aliya etc (E had dance and Bea was in China) were there, so there was still the MG group to chat with.

Bye Bye Nat part III took place at Changi Airport obviously. We gave Nat a book of photos mostly comprising of unglamorous photos (there are PLENTY) and our notes and everything. We didn't cry, surprisingly, but it was pretty heartbreaking to see Nat's grandmother cry.

It's quite unbelievable that Nat, who has just boarded her plane to Melbourne as I type this, is gone. Just like that, a part of me has just flown away hahaha.

Hope she has a great time in Melbourne, and seriously, thank God for skype and email.

2nd day at work

It is but my second day at work today and my life is already in a mess.

The day didn’t start too well to begin with. I was woken up a few times in the night because people like Ass and Nat the stupid Nut chose to text me at 1 or 2am in the morning for no good reason.

So I woke up at 6.25am, took a bath, had my breakfast and left home 6.55 am. The road was damp so I decided to wear my birkies because I absolutely cannot walk fast in my flats. I also had to lift my pants up walking the entire way, so you can imagine how perfectly idiotic I looked.

Unfortunately my bus arrives at 7.05 and I reached the busstop at 7.06, so I had to wait for another 20 minutes for the nincompoop of a bus to arrive. I literally watched the first bus drive away in front of my very eyes! And because I took the later bus I had to squeeze with students and other white-collared executives who are on their way to work as well.

And of course my only companion, my beautiful (and might I mention brand new) iPod broke down on the way, and I was devoid of entertainment the entire ONE hour journey.

My phone also broke down YET again on the way because my mom gave me a call. I’mn actually quite surprised the bus didn’t break down, just to, you know, complete the equation.

So I decided to dedicate my lunch hour to cellphone buying, but I could not, for the life of me, locate the damn phone shop that was “opposite Amara Hotel”. I literally combed the place but the only phone shop I could find was one that was selling second hand phones. So fine, I give up.

And in the meantime I started to get blisters on my feet because of my shoes, and so I limped all the way back to my office. I walked all the way to the clinic which was supposedly on the 9th floor. But when I reached the clinic there was a sign hanging outside that said that it was now located on 2nd floor instead. The funny thing about this building is, there are different elevators you have to take for different floors, so I had to go all the way to 1st floor again before I had to take an escalator up again to the 2nd floor. And guess what, when I reached the clinic, the nurses were going out for lunch and were reluctant to entertain my requests.

What a horrible, horrible, horrible day!!!!

OCS Delta Wing Social NIght 2007

22nd June was OCS Delta Wing Social Night 2007. Ordinarily that would have absolutely nothing to do with me, but I was CalCal's hot date that night, so yep, The Pines it was for me. And NO I DID NOT VOLUNTEER MYSELF as his date OMG I have no idea why this idiotic rumour got out. I didn't quite want to wear a gown, so I wore this suit thing. That was seriously a wrong idea in retrospect but my hot date didn't mind so oh never mind.

We met up at around 6pm at Orchard MRT and took a little walk around Orchard for like 15 minutes before walking to the busstop. And on the way we met my ex-teacher and his ex-teacher who are now both currently teaching at MGS and were out together. I must say those five minutes were the awkwardest moments in my life (and probably Cal's too) as we stood listening to Cal's teacher whom I actually know as well praise him about his being a genius and his 1.0 msg etc etc. And when the topic went on to "are you guys going out" I could tell that droplets of sweat were forming on Cal's forehead so we hurriedly said NO! and ended the conversation.

So then we took a bus 190 to The Pines and where because you know I am so popular we were stopped several times by groups of people like Shit and Mindy and her friend Yawen mid-way. My Half, of course, being the nosy parker like she is had to crash Social Night, even though she was in shorts and some embarrassing teeshirt. Then on the way up we met The Rong and his date Jamie who looked like some model with visible cleavage for once AHAHA and her blue-black hair. So we chatted for a while and finally made our way to our destination where we met Jiadi and made a lot of noise screaming and chattering. Eventually we took a few council photos with all the 32nd people who were present and Shit left in embarrassment even though Calcal offered to find her a date cos there were a couple of guys who turned up alone.

Before dinner was another period of awkwardness. Like Cal would introduce a friend or buddy and his date and we would be like hello, hello and left with nothing to say. And can you imagine my utter relief when I met NG MEIXI who was there with her darling Joshua and we screamed till the ceiling almost collapsed as we always do because we'd finally found Family. And we found 2 other MGS girls Jean Ong and Debo Ng who were both with their boyfriends obviously and took an MG photo while reciting the MGS motto To Master To Grow To Serve oh my goodness can you believe how much we love our school.

And between then till after dinner CalCal was like telling me who's going to Harvard, who's going to Stanford, who got some scholarship to go do law at Oxford etc etc. Seriously, if the guy wasn't outstanding (by which I mean he was a mere top scorer at A Levels) then his date probably is, because these guys are the elite, apparently. And do I have to mention how probably 60 or 70% of the people were from RJ. I suppose we then make a very ordinary pair since he's ONLY going to med school and I'm only going to Brown -.-

We saw a couple of, hmm, interesting pairs too which I am sure will arouse a lot of gossip and attention haha!

After dinner, games and award presentations started. I seriously tried my best to pay attention so Calcal wouldn't feel bad about me feeling bored but I saw him yawning so I gave up too. They had all sort of army related games like who can change their clothes the fastest, or who can kiwi (polish) their boots the fastest. But I guess the Army Jargon 101 lesson was pretty interesting, and their videos were great!! Even though all the guys were in green camouflage and you couldn't really tell who was who.

So then the night ended with some photo taking obviously and we went home in a cab. I could tell Calcal was in high spirits because every time he's reminded of some shitty army moment he'd look so triumphant because he's allowed to defer his NS for his studies. But well the guys look so happy together in their buddy-buddy world that I'm sure they'll miss each other.

Hello!

I have been jobless for a month now, and life has been, well, generally carefree and jolly. I either bum around at home doing nothing except convert oxygen into carbon dioxide or meet up with friends like Shit or F5 or Bobbert or shop.

Andrew insisted that I'd wanna go back to work once I've experienced what it's like to be a loafer but seriously no I don't think that's true. Maybe I'm not such a workaholic after all.

Nevertheless I will be starting work next week to gain a bit of corporate experience, see what working life is like and of course to earn a bit of extra cash. I won't be working for long though, only a little over a month, so I guess it won't be a lot of cash either. In fact it's quite dumb because I had to spend like a hundred and fifty bucks on working clothes since I don't have any. And since said workplace is at TANJONG PAGAR I'll have to wake up at 6.30am to reach there on time oh goodness!!!!

I don't have very much to say here, so I'll go goof off for now. Bye!

Mac and Cheese

My brother and I have been growing closer lately, a prospect that frightens me a little.

All along, ever since he was 3 months old, we have been fighting and fighting, calling each other stupid names with our exceedingly large vocabularies like "moron" or "stupid shit", sprinkling each other with water when we exit the lavatory (which we share) or hiding all the snacks in our "secret stashes" (my parents do that too).

But in a way we seem to have decreased - I wouldn't go to the extent of using the word stop - the number of instances in which we indulge in such childish behaviour. Maybe it's because we're older now, or maybe because I am leaving for the states and so will he in four years and we won't be spending much time together for at least the next eight years, but we've grown to live well with each other.

Now we spend most of our time cooking mac and cheese (he cooks, I pour out the ribena), playing Resistance, the new PS3 game he bought, and watching movies in his room together.

It's not much, but it's a start I suppose.

Climb Every Mountain

Climb Every Mountain

Climb every mountain, search high and low
Follow every by way, every path you know
Climb every mountain, ford every stream
Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream
A dream that will need, all the love you can give
Everyday of your life, for as long as you live
Climb every mountain, ford every stream
Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream
A dream that will need, all the love you can give
Everyday of your life, for as long as you live
Climb every mountain, ford every stream
Follow every rainbow, till you find your... dream...

Sound of Music

I think I must have watched The Sound of Music approximately 16000 times, but it's such a classic it's difficult not to love it.

It's such a wonderful film, so timeless and perfect. It's like George Orwell's Animal Farm, when you read or watch it for the first time in your childhood, it's just a book or film with fun and music, but as you grow older you start to realise that there're so many, many more levels to the book or movie to be explored.

The theme of love runs deep in The Sound of Music. The quality of emotion is strangely simplistic in modern terms, a governess falls for her impossible charges, then falls in love with their father, who strangely enough loves her too. But there's also patriotic love, because the story is set during the Nazi regime, and Captain von Trapp is dead loyal to his country, Austria.

But if I lived in a country as beautiful as Austria in those days I think I would be darn proud of her too.

I actually feel a little envious when I watch Captain von Trapp sing Edelweiss with such enormous emotion and affection. I know of course that he's just acting (he's Christopher Plummer by the way, and you might have caught him as Keanu Reeves' dad in The Lake House), but it makes me sad that I will probably never will have a national folk dance to be proud of, a beautiful national song that everyone can sing with pride and in unison, snowy mountains or luscious hills to remember my hometown by or even to have a ethnic costume boast of for that matter.

Not that there's anything about Singapore to complain about. In fact Singapore's a wonderful place. The roads are safe even at night, the air is fresh and clean (and I really do appreciate it after Hong Kong), and most people are innocent, kind and helpful.

Perhaps its because of globalisation - people can go anywhere they want to go, or disinterest, or even a greater disenchantment with life, people just don't feel all that charged with emotion when we talk about nationality anymore. t's sad, but I guess it's true to a certain that we'll probably never love our country as much as we love ourselves anymore.

Back from HK!

Yay I'm back frm Hong Kong!! It was a darn good trip and we had tons of fun laughing, shopping every single moment, immortalising every minute of the trip with our cameras and of course as the rest of F5 would know blocking the way.

Hong Kongers are a really impatient lot, and though we met tons of nice people on the trip who went out of their way to help us out, like the concierge at Cosmo Hotel, there were many people who probably thought we were too slow to be bothered about us. There was this waitress even who stormed off because we were too slow in ordering our food. People were also generally not as friendly as I imagined, like the guy who glared at me because I accidentally touched his foot on the MTR even though I apologised but ok that was probably not his fault.

But overall it was a darn good trip. Even though our hotel was facing the cemetary (haha!) and we were dead tired (note the pun) most of the time, we still had tons of fun in the hotel room, celebrating beabea's birthday and listening to ass talking about her love life and watching Jackie Chan and his ridiculous Hollywood movie. I'm so gonna miss them all, especially when nat and E fly off and I fly off.

We bought tons of things too, like 1000 bags and shoes and stuff. We'd literally go to a store and buy like half of their goods away! Especially places that sold tidbits. We bought like 14 boxes of krispy kremes at Times Square, and we couldn't even fit into the cab, even though it was meant for 5 people.

Lots of memories to share, hope to upload the photos here when I get them! We took photos like every waking moment because we just love ourselves so much haha!! But I didn't take many photos cos I thought it'd be quite unnecessary to load 5 of the same photos. F5 if you're reading this quickly upload them to shutterfly!

Ms Wang's wedding tomorrow, looking forward to meeting Welco!

Spread the joy

I was offered something today by a very kind soul whom I don't even know that would have saved me about $70-$80 buying Sammi's new album but I just couldn't do it, for a few very silly reasons.

1. I'm sure there are much more than 3000 Sammi fans and I just cannot bring myself to own 2 of these precious box sets when so many people out there are hankering for them.
2. I made a promise to the CD guy.
3. I don't want to owe them any more favours.

Sounds damn silly to me and I don't know why I didn't just take the free box set when I want it so much, but I just couldn't do it.

I wouldn't say no to a free trip over to HK for her concert though :)
