happy chinese new year to you. :)
this year's new year is kinda different for me. for 23 years i've been going to grandpa's house for reunion dinner on new year eve and every morning on the first day of new year, we'll visit his house without fail before proceeding to mumsy's side of relatives. this year, that house is empty. no new white table cloth covering the antique marble table. no grandpa feigning enthusiasm to gambling. no grandma giving us goodies while we're playing cards. i miss them. i hope they're having a good dinner above.

Bangkok..
it was a wild 5 days of shopping and eating and having fun in Bangkok with 4 of my very good friends, all of whom i've previously travelled to hkg, taipei and europe with. couldn't ask for better travelling partners.
it was shop shop shop, eat eat eat, walk walk walk, massage for 3 consecutive nights to ease our poor legs' tension. we had fun playing cards and bingo on the plane and in the hotel room at night. after dat it was war fighting for the bathroom with the guys. hahah.. nothing much of scenery to see since its bangkok..
let the photos do the talking.....

ok now my mind is full of ironies.
each of them contradicting each other. got a shocking bad/good news in the office today, depending on how you look at it. my partner/good talking kaki is leaving the system for another better one. another female colleague is joining me in the system. she has more work experience in other companies whereas im a fresh grad, or sort of. i was shocked when i read the email from the pm stating my recently entered the company female colleague will be the lead in our system, although im obviously in the system longer than her. it can be considered good news for me cus i wouldn't have to take the responsibility of the lead and answer to the upper management about whatever shit we run into. ah well. words of consolation from colleagues.
ok well i dun really dislike my female colleague, in fact im quite ok with her, but well, office politics. i shant be involved in it. come july i'll be gone.
1 more fucking day to the land of shopping and smiles!

i feel bad having the argument with her. but shes getting on my nerves again over the same topic.
she doesn't know what happened, who was in the wrong, who initiated it, but naturally placed the blame on her selfish, unreasonable, immature daughter. i really can't be bothered explaining what he did to me, to her. i dun think it will help, really. she seems more intent on siding with that ass rather than me without even knowing what the hell really happened. whatever. i don't think she can see the rest of my photos. she might just end up condemning me as someone who has no respect for myself.
on another note, i felt my heart warmed when i read his blog about his grandma. i wish mine were still with me. His daughter is very pretty and sweet too. Heart warming.

had a semi good time cycling last night!
the company was great. at least they arent pretentious. it was abit shaky for me and xy at first. didnt even know which gear should i change to. hmmmm. it drizzled on and off abit when we reached changi. but still okable. heh i didnt feel the long road from pasir ris to changi village was THAT long. some guy in the cycling group thought the 4 of us were poly kids in a youth group. must be the dark night that blinded their sight.
at changi we decided to cut short the route cus it was starting to rain quite heavily. there was the option of just ending the route there and then but some pros wanted to carry on. so did i, but i didnt have any guts to voice out when they wanted to end it.
the organizer must have realised dat was a mistake cus the moment we stepped out of the shelter into the long road beside the airport runway, it started to rain badly. in the beginning i could still look up and admire the raindrops falling with the lamp light in the back, enjoying the light tapping of rain on the skin. after 10 mins it was raining cats and dogs! the drops were falling hard on all of us that it was a lil painful.
ps and ang lagged behind and i just kept following this stranger couple in frt of me, cus i couldnt see more than 50m behind me. and im afraid of the dark. hmmm. the airport runway road was like a neverending road! never seemed to reach the end. by then we were all drenched through and through. back aching, hands bruised from grabbing on to the handle for dear life, legs numb to feeling, just kept cycling and cycling.
when we all reached east coast, we were all trembling in the cold. the rain didnt matter anymore. we had become friends and enemy with it while enduring it for the past 1.5 hours.
it was fun because i had good company and i got to 'play and dance' in the rain without getting a scolding from anyone. =)

i dislike it when people make use of me for the advantages that i have.
don't act all cute and sweet all of a sudden and be nice to me and ask me for lunch just because u need a ride home.
on a side note, im really growing fat despite the trainings. Need to jog more to make up for the huge appetite i have these days. and we did well in the match today! i really need to have a conscious mind to control the damn ball. argh
night cycling tonight. i hope it doesnt rain. hmm.
counting down the number of days to bangkok! yaY!
