I hate myself for falling sick so often. Just when I've recovered from the headache and dreadful cough, which seems almost chronic to me, the flu bug decided it would bug me for the umpteenth time. It’s not called a flu bug for no reason.
I popped drowsy flu pills, slept almost the whole day yesterday and half the day away today. I had to wake up and go and do my hair or there won’t be any time left before Chinese New Year. I dyed a much darker tone for once, almost to the extent of being black. My mum would nag at me for sure. She loves me in highlights and blondes and light browns. She is one funny mama. No photos of my new darker hair though as it is quite difficult to capture its darker shade.
The stylist who did my hair knew I was sick, as I looked completely groggy. He even said I had a fever, something I did not know about if he hadn’t told me. After my trip to the salon, I decided to thread my eyebrows near my place, as they were getting quite messy. As I was on my way to the interchange, this Indian lady waved to me. It was the lady who threads my eyebrows. She has just opened a new shop there and I thought it was such a coincidence. But from now on, threading eyebrows won’t be as accessible as before. =(
I’m simply hooked to Love Concierge right now. I wonder how can anyone be so scheming and ruthless as to hurt her own sister given that their sisterly relationship was excellent to begin with. The older couples (Love triangle among Nancy Sit, Chen Shucheng and Zhu Houren) bring about comic relief to the whole show, while the rest of the couples were appropriately matched. The eye candies, good dress sense and great hairstyle of the stars glued me further.
My sister sent me this spoof of Memoirs of a Geisha. Enjoy!

Tuesday, January 17, 2006
Since Friday, I have been... ...
Suffering from severe headache…
Vomiting…
Gulping down medicine with antibiotic that taste like nail polish…
Sleeping the whole day…
With no appetite at all… eating only for the sake of taking medicine…
And ending up as skinny as a stick.
To those reading this, it is quite common to suffer from severe headaches to the extent of vomiting right?
I’ve been getting this (minus the vomiting) for quite some time and people around me have been advising (read: scolding and nagging) me to go for a full body check up.
Is it just me or is it common?

Annual Primary School Class Gathering on 7th January
To be updated...

I'll update when I come back.

Updated!
Joa and I were really late. We missed the dinner somewhere in Chinatown and reached Party World at 9+.
To Joa, such a pleasant coincidence that we were both at TPY. It was really nice meeting up with you first and going there together. I had a nice chat with you. =). You make me feel like trying out for SIA.
When we arrived at party world, the guys and the gals were segregated into two gangs. This always happens every year.
The boys
The gals
I still can’t shake off the thinking that we are still boys and gals… After all, we knew each other when we were mere kids.
C*******g hao3 you3 man3 tian1 xia4! It’s good that they changed their tagline. I used to amend their tagline to “Probably the best beer in the world… Probably not!” A world of friends has so much more meaning than a tagline which screams I’m not telling the truth.
The KTV session was more of a talking/ chatting session for me. I don’t know many Chinese songs and even if I’ve heard them somewhere before, I don’t know how to sing. Everyone was so into serious singing. I started inserting all the duets that I remembered how to sing as well as those fast and loud songs that everyone could sing together. That’s what KTV session is all about.
Then somebody chose Emil Chau’s “peng2 you3” and although cliché, it was a good choice. That is one song that everyone could sing.
And then when a lot of them had gone home, leaving with only a few of us, things got wild and fun. When I was outside with jf, yh called me and asked us to hurry coz zz was singing all my songs away and was torturing their ears.
Imagine our surprise when we flung the door open, only to see zz dancing on the couch and tormenting them with his singing while the rest of the guys were grooving away on the floor.
And I reiterate… that’s what I call K session!
So we joined in the fun. We danced, we grooved, we followed the moves and gestures on the mtv. We screamed, we shouted, we hollered at the top of our voices. Of course we did sing too… In fact, we sang our lungs out.
Hey yh, you are not supposed to pose here. You are supposed to act crazy like that crazy gal behind. (BTW this 2 friends have been in the same class with me from pri 1 to 6, which means we have known each other for 17 years!)
After the shouting session, we squeezed into zz’s car and headed for supper at Yishun. That was the first time I squeezed into a car of 7 grown kids… 5 boys 2 gals.
We ate and chatted till 3+am. Then we really had to go as I had work the next day and jf had tuition in the morning.
To sum up the night’s happening…. It was FUN! We should have more of these gathering. Although I do meet up with the different groups of close primary school friends every now and then, we ought to have more large scale meet ups often. Why wait til 7th January 2007? Quick! Somebody go organize another one this year.
Don’t look at me.

Reflections
Apart from the feel-good service, Christmas this year has been quiet. No parties. No clubbing. No chalets. No dinners. No plans. No nothing.
The whole festive week breezed past like nobody’s business.
Work was fun. With everybody in the Christmassy mood, everything was enjoyable and time passed quickly and blithely. The happy chatters and laughter of colleagues filled the whole of hub. Also, since last week was the last lesson of the term, everybody scrambled to take class photos, hand out presents, wish “Merry Christmas” and give big bear hugs. Everyone emerged from class with bagfuls of presents and cards from parents and students.
On the 21st, hh had our very own xmas lunch cum ts birthday celebration.
xmas crackers from em our new centre leader
Everyone should have taken the cracker, stand in one row and do a Jimmy-crack-corn. (inside joke)
ts and her gingerbread house given by “architect mn”
mn doesn’t like to take photos so I supposed it’s better not to display her pic here.
Food spread
Food spread continued
Gingerbread house close up
ts’s birthday cake
ag and voluminous present
My present from the gift exchange… Such a coincidence that I got em’s present. Before that, she was telling me that she feels the present is very suitable for me.
Now I understand that she thinks of me as a sucker.
Many more photos to come. Hope my dear colleagues send them to me soon.
On the 23rd, a small group of us went for an informal Christmas lunch at Fiesta.
The people on this side
The people on that side
Part of wy’s food… Delicious!
My food… consisting of
Sweet and sour chicken
salmon sashimi
plus rice, miso soup and 2 slices of oranges
all for $9.90 ++. Great deal!
Then for dinner, I met up with some jc friends again. We had new addition… people who came back from overseas.
Angela from Buffalo and Regina from Cheenapokland. Long time no see them.
Angela is my "non-Chinese" kaki back in jc. While the rest of the pathetic class was attending Chinese lessons, we would be pigging out in the canteen. The last time we took a photo together was 5 years ago?
Caleb from UK... erm sorry... forgot which part. And his "smelly" pose is forever the same.
Group shot
Christmas eve was spent working till 7+ while Christmas day itself was spent at service and church carnival.
A very ugly photo of kh and me taken during xmas eve.
I was just thinking about how unhappening this year’s eve was and was looking back at my past photos to see how I’ve spent 24th and 25th December throughout the years. I chanced upon my last year’s NZ photos. Took a break from the hustle and bustle, frolicking in the meadows with moo moo and meh meh all day long. Eating and sleeping and playing. I’ve never led such a pig’s life before.
Such memories!
On the eve, we went tracking at Fox Glacier.
Me at the bottom of the glacier.
Me making a mark in the ice.
We made new friends who hitched a ride on our caravan.
On Christmas day, we went to Stuart Landsborough’s Puzzling World at Wanaka.
leaning clock tower
funny room
4 of us and caravan at lake wanaka
We then adjourned to freezing Queenstown
On Boxing Day, we went hang gliding. The weather was so bad that we had to play luge and while our time away before the weather cleared.
I lost kh’s lens due to the hard landing.
And I think we experienced a white Christmas. We chanced upon blanket of snow looking stuff at a mountain in the middle of summer!
And boy did the boys have fun!
A snowy Christmas!
Sigh! This year all I can do is to reminisce.
