Annual Report 2007

Well, if you had forgotten, I had scrapped the idea of having resolutions since last year. Mainly due to the fact that I never fulfiled them and I tend to not care about them at all.

But I did mention I wanted to pick up a new skill. Well...

1. I can play a full song on my crummy ol' guitar
2. I CAN make cupcakes, they're edible alright!
3. Workwise, I did pick up a couple of new, useful skills *YAY*

So let's do a brief rekept for 2007. Honestly speaking, I've been very brief on my entries for this whole year. Sadly, my camera did not get that much abused from me this year.

I guess I did tried to do better in life and work. I remember having all this self-realisation, self-discover shitzz for a couple of months. I blame it on my quarter life crisis. For once I notice how much I've grown and I've also realised how precious time is.

Charly, the french fry, came down to Singapore again for his internship. I wished I had spent more time with him but I didn't. He was here for like 6mths and I met him like 2-3 times? pathetic eh? But that's more frequent than I meet my own folks, so...

Lindsay came and I met up with her for that one day... just one day! I will do better for your 2008 trip, I promise!

I met so many new people... like SO MANY! I made myself sit down and listen to them to really get to know them better before passing off judgement. Yeah, a whole different Fida coming your way. I'm still the same person really, just takes a much longer time to unleash the negativity now. Haha!

Am I happier now? I guess you can say so. But deep inside there's a tinge of sadness in me for the fact that I wish I could meet up with my present, long-time-no-see friends again to catch up on old times. Just having you in my phonebook is not enough... unless I've chosen to avoid you already? Muahaha!

Let's talk about vacations. I went to Phuket, Bangkok, Bintan and JB. That's like using my passport for 4 times! Like woah~ This has to be some kind of a record! Usually I travel like twice max.

Pricely possession of this year includes:

1. Nintendo DS-Lite (pimped out version)
2. Nokia E65

That's it? Wow! I guess I didn't spend as much as I used to! But then again, I made up for that in the travelling department.

I almost lost my PC but a good friend told me he'll fix it at no cost... just a Burger King meal! That was a close call but I'm glad he manage to salvage everything back. I have no clue what I'll do if I loose all the data inside! I should now consider investing in a Hard Disk Drive to backup all my data!

I did blogathon again this year and once again, I fell asleep for a bit. It was a lot more organised this year as I've had previous experiences. Haha. I didn't raise that much money but I'm glad I did my part to help the less fortunate. Should I look forward to Blogathon 2008? Meh... we'll see about that. It kinda gets a tad too old... we need fresh ideas people!

As I mentioned I won't be setting resolutions but on the other hand, I started new projects/hobbies.

1. I Must Do This Daily - Project 365 Blog (Where I post a picture once a day from my mobile phone)
   
2. Roll - Lomo/Holga blog (Yes I will be a proud owner of a Holga in a week's time. In the meantime I'll stick to my Action Sampler)

These are just the few I'm starting. I hope to keep myself more occupied in 2008 with all these projects, new and present, in hand. At the same time it gets my creative juice running... some of you may have noticed I've not designed my own template for a while.

So what's gonna happen in 2008? Settle down? Hmmm....

Interior Designer.... me?

Paulino Rubio once said lights are very important in one's home. Unlike her, we're not very lucky to convert a cement factory into a place we can call home. Since my living space is small, I'm sure floor lamps are out of question. I've always wanted torchieres too like in medieval times. I found this lamps specialist website that featured so many pretty ones till I feel like building my own house on a much larger piece of land.

Among the many latest collection featured, one that caught my attention have to be the Fine Art Lamps series. Their design may be traditional but all handcrafted with fabulous finishing touches. Too bad its only available in the US and I sure hope one day Ikea will come up with something alike... hehe.

If you're not into the 'heavy' look, the more contemporary version by Studio Italia Design Lighting might be your cup of tea. Their designs are clean, chic and their detailing is commendable.

Even though such lamps are more suitable for smaller living space like mine, there's no harm admiring from far. I should stop watching MTV Cribs!

Where's my mailbox?

I recently got a new mailbox key after they bashed up the old one and made a new one (apparently supposed to be junk mail free, as are most residential mailboxes are now in Singapore). So I went down and took a good look at them and I think it is the longest time I took to search for mine. Maybe the text is too small. Or maybe cos' I hadn't check my mails for ages (I only check it if I am expecting a mail).

Come to think of it, why can't we have personalised mailboxes? Even at work, I observed my admin clerk having to scan rows of those tiny commercial mailboxes to find ours. Its too darn boring. I remember those days when I got my own locker in school, I took time to personalised them so that I'll be able to tell them apart from the rest and not waste time searching for it.

If you ask me, I want all mailboxes, well at least mine, to look like this!


I dunno why but it just reminded me of that movie starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves... uhh... Keep It Forward! One heck of a romantic movie :P

You better shop around

Am I ready? Is it time yet? Should I get myself a health insurance coverage now that I'm pretty sure my health is no longer as top notched as it was 5 years back? Most health insurance plans usually involves a monthly premium payment deducted directly from your bank but how do you know you're making your payment worth the investment?

I'm very sure, my fellow uninsured friends, that an affordable health insurance package is out there. Somewhere... not recommended cos maybe what your agents wants is not whats best for you but all they cared about is their commission payouts.

Don't be afraid to request for a custom made plans to suit your needs. Don't pay unnecesary dollars for nothing. You're suppose to take care of yourself and not your agent's pocket. Just an advice, from one friend to another... Happy policy shopping!

Poker face, no?

I've always wondered how one can make money, legally of course and one sure way, if you've got the luck to boot, is to gamble. Casino is nothing foreign, we're opening one here in Singapore after many years of resorting to fleeing to one in other countries. Now here's another thought... why bother to gamble so far away from your bedroom when you can do it online?

One good website to try your luck to win some cash is with Mac Poker where they have the very oh-so-popular Poker of course. Other than depending on your luck to win with a good hand, you can earn Poker Bonus when you refer a friend to join you in the gambling fun you can have in many different rooms they have like Pacific Poker, Party Poker and Fulltilt Poker.

I warn you, this can get addictive! For beginners, please take the time to read the rules, tips and strategies before you even think of starting. I mean, you wouldn't want to be all dried up before day 1 ends right?

Bad press

I got a bad review from ReviewMyBlog and I've got a few things to point out.

1. What's wrong with my grammar? I'm sure people make grammar and spleeing mistakes now and then!
2. Darling this IS a personal blog and it IS ok to talk about anything under the sun.
3. Why do a lot of people have problem with my cute tiny fonts? You think this is bad, there's more out there that'll drive you nuts. My fonts are too cute! Not too large and not too tiny... just nice. If you can't read it, get a effing reading glasses!
4. My sidebar may contain all sort of 'shit' to you but I placed it neatly on the side for you to avoid reading if you don't like it
5. Thanks for listening to my advice and get the eff outta my blog!

I'm not being sore about this review but for the love of God please... this is just ridiculous! Penalising someone for having a taste of their own is just... erm... distasteful!

Now... who else wants a piece of me?

Spinners!

So I got a call from one of those telemarketing peeps and I was about to slam the receiver when I realise this is nothing like those annoying "sit in a presentation before collecting free gifts" sort so I'd give it a shot. Its a free makeover trial :P (I'm not gonna name the studio as I refuse to give them free publicity)

I was punctual for my appointment and the receptionist made me wait another 20mins or so. I notice a bunch of peeps that came in after me were in the same time slot as I am. I thought they had enough staff to entertain that many but we're all made to wait.

When it was my turn, the receptionist escorted me to clims the stairs, 3 floors up, and I find myself in a pretty decent looking studio. I was assigned to a make up artist and she did a good job basically, she will never pull something that I may not like without asking first. I can even have second thoughts and be a bitch about stuff, she;ll still gladly fix me up.

Then it comes to the hair and I have no clue what I wanna do. She offered to neaten my rebonded hair and I thought it'll be fun to go curly. I wished her luck to work on my thick hair and she laughed. Once its done, I wasn't that excited about the hair. Maybe I'm not used to it, and I had problem styling it. She smiled and said "Trust me." In 2 mins, my hair is done and I felt like hugging her. She's the kind of person I wanna have around when I got a bad hair day!

Make up done, hair done, photographer waiting for me in the back room. Scrawny middle age men barely spoke 2 words to me, took control of the whole shoot by asking telling me how to pose. Like HELLO! You're talking to a camwhore here! On the overall I wasn't very happy with the shoot (DOH!) and the sales person I met with after that who tried his darnest might to psycho me to sign up for a package deal.

I mean, they have to be more realistic, they randomly call people of all walks of life, not accepting walk-in requests, and their cheapest package is like S$2899! Like WTF! Pride... too much pride! And the photos... I get to choose 2 and they burn it in a CD (case not included, only for those who sign up) and its a raw files. I pissed them off a lil' more lying that I'm a designer and photoshop is my forte. I still remember the look on their face.



Yes, its me, the designer, putting my editing skills to work, in 3 mins I came up with these. Watcha think?

I want a new face...

My curiousity grew stronger after looking at the website about the nose job in the previous entry. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going under the knife but after watching so many episodes of "I Want A Famous Face", I wanna know more! Damn that show is addictive!

LA's Revision Rhinoplasty Specialist has comprehensive information about rhinoplasty revision that one need to know before and after the precedure.

You can browse the before and after photos to see how various surgeries help to make you, erm, make you look like whoever you want or just make yourself better looking.

Feelin' queasy...

Can you believe up to date I am still not insured? Can you believe I am living day to day dangerously and not worrying about mishaps that may occur to me which may burden myself or my family or love ones? Do you want to know why?

Insurance agent in Singapore are pushy, manipulative and love to shove costly policies that you don't need! I've had it with them but at the same time I have no idea what kind of coverage I actually wanted. So I googled around and found this website called Insurance Portal Online. Hmmm... how appropriate.

Unfortunately I am non US citizen otherwise this baby would have help me alot! Imagine me stepping in one of the establised insurance hub here and approach one agent and go like "Hey you, get me a life insurance policy worth US$500,000 with XXX company where I only need to pay a premium of US$XX for a 10 year plan. That's my budget so get to it!"

In reality, agent XX will whip out folders after folders selling me something I may or may not need. Or worse, policies that I cannot afford! Yes they will be useful if I break a leg or stop breathing but till then I need to pay for food and bills to continue breathing and breaking legs. I can say only a small number out there who really listen to me... where are you!?!

I know I will get roped up by one of them one day. In my plan right now probably to work on having at least 3 policies: my own life insurance, home insurance and I'd probably buy one for my kid/s if I have any in future. Its a lot cheaper for them to start early :)

Till I find that 'special someone', I shall live on the edge.

Any agents out there reading this, bugger off, my answer will always be the same.. I'M NOT INTERESTED!. Go bug someone else who can help you achieve your quotas.

I feel like ANS... whatever!

I think I will only be famous if I'm dead... really!

Fida - the blogger, she was on tv rite?
Fida - that girl, an ex colleague, dunno what happen to her after that
Fida - she looked familiar... must be a friend of a friend, nice lady
Fida - yeah, a relative of mine... met her a decade ago
Fida - I think I have her number somewhere
Fida - Dang! I deleted her number already!
Fida - Thank God that b*tch is dead!
Fida - Oops, forgot to return her (insert personal item or cash value here)

And worse, the only 2 person most important to my life will be the suspect for my demise. Claiming they did such and such so that they'll inherit my so-dollars amount of money. Worse, I hadn't wrote a will yet. So now people of all sorts of life will walk in and goes like...

Fida and me... we're best friends
Fida and me... we know each other's name
Fida and me... we sat next to each other before
Fida and me... I know her boyfriend
Fida and me... she had lent me a pen before
Fida and me... she's on my MSN/Friendster/MySpace list, you know!
Fida and me... she tried to join my social circle back then
Fida and me... google her website URL and you'll find my blog... how much closer could we be?

Scary thought ain't it? Worse part of all, I dun think all of the above will happen, at all. But its kinda hard to say. I won't know until I really die.

I love you baby (and by baby, I meant by Fahmy. If anything were to happen to me, Fahmy's legal guardian will be God by the way)

Weekend updates

Yeah... I met Fahmy, hungry, had lunch at Delifrance, Capitol Building, walk a bit, got tired, took a bus, end up in cineleisure, contemplating to go bowling or karaoke, end up at K-Box, went for member's special where I don't have to pay cover charges, just for drinks and the compulsory tid bits, we were given 5 hours to sing, felt like texting Rizal, he came down to join us all the way from Johor Bahru, Malaysia, we sang till we're pretty much hungry again, went down to Beach Road for dinner, had "tulang" (direct translation: bones, otherwise its a delicacy made famous by people here, see this entry), chit chat for a bit, went over to Tampines to hang out with Fahmy's friend, around 1am, we shifted to Pasir Ris for another round of not doing anything, hailed a cab, reached home around 3.30am, went to bed, do-nothing Saturday, got bored on Sunday, called Siti up for another 5 hours of karaoke-ing.... *phew* Let the photos do the talking.



Oh let me be the first to welcome a certain French boy who at this moment is making his way to my tiny island. Va te faire foutre!!

Chart your own progress plan (Part Trois)

As promised...

1. What kind of person do I want to be?
Describe the kinds of skills, abilities, qualities, disposition, character and understanding you want to have
Be more organised, increase fluency in marketing, creativity skills and money-savvy.

2. What do I want to do with my life?
Think of big and small achievements, goals and important issues that concern you
Increase bank balance to at least a solid 5 digit number (minus decimal points) and be happy and healthy in life.

To achieve the results of the two questions above, you need a strategy that involves answering the seven questions below:

1. Where am I?
Describe fully your current state in both your personal and work life.
Work: Major learning stage with my manager planning to give me more responsibilites (read: KPIs)
Personal: Still insecure about life in general. Is settling down the answer?

2. How did I get there?
Look back in your life and trace all the elements, events and people who influenced your path in life.
I pull myself together to quit my previous job after all the doodie I've been through. Many lessons had been learned from my previous job. I joined them in my teens and I grew up learning not so much about work but more on people. I shall not touch so much on that since I think 45% of my blog content is related to that.

3. Where do I want to go?
Using the material from the two fundamental questions, describe your goals.
Climb up the career ladder steadily base on pure experience and hands on knowledge maybe? Also to trust other people, let them in a bit more.

4. How will I get there?
Refer to the information you have gethered about your journey in life so far, and consider new ways if the usual ones are hindering your progress.
Definitely in need of guidance and hopefully I'll be discipline enough to read up on how to build these skills which enables me to flyyyy!! When it comes to life, I'd say I need more social life. But do I need more friends? Or just peg on my present friends and work on it?

5. What will I do when I arrive?
Sketch out your intentions and actions.
When promotion is due, that is a sign that I had been entrusted with new responsibilities and its up to me to take it up another level to prove to them I am worthy of that reward. And the life bit I guess I'll throw a party or something. I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

6. Where shall I go next?
Life is a continuous process of change, therefore it is important to plan beyond your immediate horizons.
I'd prolly still be here. Hopefully one day I'll be heading a business unit (manager/director?) *LOL*. There's no harm in dreaming. And about the life bit, I'll promise to take care of my friends, people whom I only assume will be around with me for life.

7. How do I begin?
List what you have to do and attach a time frame for each objective.
Work: I'll reflect on my job done and achievements every half a year (same time frame as the organisation's appraisal) and work from there... and it has to start... erm... NOW!
Life: I'll start calling them, asking them out, go for occassional dinner/drinks and whatever that will rock their bottoms.

There you go, hopefully you guys attempt it too *PHEW*! Oh by the way there's one more part left to this entry... watch out for this space!

Chart your own progress plan (Part Deux)

Next lets try envisioning your future. The 2 fundamental questions in these steps are...

1. What kind of person do I want to be?
Describe the kinds of skills, abilities, qualities, disposition, character and understanding you want to have

2. What do I want to do with my life?
Think of big and small achievements, goals and important issues that concern you

Chart your own progress plan (Part Une)

I have to share these with you. My manager make copies of this article from The Straits Times which really got me thinking. I'm not gonna type out the whole thing, just exerpts from the article.

There are many ways to conduct a self-development proposal. Today I'll start with Exploring The Present. It mainly explores the needs analysis, where you provide information about yourself. The 5 areas that you look at explore what is important in your life.


1. Physical attributes - such as age, height and weight
I think I'm at the age where I'm no longer 'testing water' or playing around. I am where one will call, digging slowly to reach the treasure. At the moment, I'm digging, slowly, but I'm not sure if the treasure is really in the spot I'm digging. I have no issue with my height and weight by the way. I will lose weight if it affects my health, not my career.

2. Emotional attributes - are you shy, cynical, happy or frustrated?
It makes me feel human that I have every emotional attributes one might possess. I feel the environment I am in.

3. Mental attributes - your intellectual abilities, such as clever, dull, thoughtful, analytical etc.
Aha, I swear I have never considered myself as an intellectual. Street smart,yes. Geeky smart, hell no! I never really graduated from anything after secondary school hence I shall admit my IQ have to be really low. I believe in learning thru life courses.

4. Roles - functions you fulfil in relations to others, eg. are you single, married, a parent, sibling, an employee or your own boss?
I'm still single, hopefully I will be able to settle down one day. I won't say I'm the kind of person who will put career before my love life. I would want the 2 to go hand in hand. But one thing definitely I won't get married if I'm not financially prepared.

5. Relationship with others - the characteristic stance you take towards others, such as closed, open, withdrawn or giving
I may appear cold to some but I'm really very approachable and enjoys a good laugh. I treat people I work with like colleagues until they bend the line and cross over to me pallies!

Listing 10 statements about yourself does not encompass your whole personality but it usually a good indicator of how you see yourself and your present role in life.

... to be continued...

Do your ears hang low?

Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them o'er your shoulder
like a continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?

Do your ears hang high?
Do they reach up to the sky?
Do they droop when they are wet?
Do they stiffen when they're dry?
Can you semaphore your neighbour
with a minimum of labour?
Do your ears hang high?

Do your ears flip-flop?
Can you use them for a mop?
Are they stringy at the bottom?
Are they curly at the top?
Can you use them for a swatter?
Can you use them for a blotter?
Do your ears flip-flop?

Do your ears hang out?
Can you waggle them about?
Can you flip them up and down
as you fly around the town?
Can you shut them up for sure
when you hear an awful bore?
Do your ears hang out?

Does your tongue hang down?
Does it flop all around?
Can you tie it in a knot?
Can you tie it in a bow?
Can you throw it o'er your shoulder
like a Continental Soldier?
Does your tongue hang down?

Does your nose hang low?
Does it wiggle to and fro?
Can you tie it in a knot?
Can you tie it in a bow?
Can you throw it o'er your
shoulder like a Continental Soldier?
Does your nose hang low?

Do your eyeballs droop
do they wobble in your soup
can you tie them in a loop
can you wind them on a hoop
do your eyeballs droop!

Do your ears stretch wide? Do they reach from side to side?
Can you use them as a parachute
or wings that let you glide?
Can you cast a cooling shadow
over most of Colorado?
Do your ears stretch wide?

Are your ears too big? Are they heavy as a pig?
Do they bruise your cerebellum
when you dance an Irish jig?
Can they function as the anchors
for a fleet of oil tankers?
Are your ears too big?

Are your ears real small? Barely visible at all?
Do they look just like two peanuts stuck onto a bowling ball?
Can you store them in a thimble when you're feeling rather nimble?
Are your ears real small?

Are your ears quite clean? Do they have a lovely sheen?
Did you harvest all the vegetables that grow down in between?
Did you wash out all the soil after all your farming toil?
Are your ears quite clean?

Are your ears so thin? Do the breezes make 'em spin?
Can you shine a light right through them like the finest onionskin?
Can you wrap up a salami? Do they fold like origami?
Are your ears so thin?

No Judgement: Lance Bass, *Nsync

Whyyyyyy???!!! Why do I have to feast my eyes on this picture!! Damn you Perez Hilton! Well, in case you ppl just migrated from the mountains, let me introduce Lance Bass' make out buddy. I dunno his name but he sure got a good taste. He's HAWT~~

[edit]
His name is Reichen Lehmkul, some reality TV star.
[/edit]

If you look closely he has some resemblance as that fella from Take 5. Whatishisname.... Ryan something? Seriously. He looked really familiar, doesn't he?

Ok... I think this will be like my new online blogging mission to find photos of boybander's gay partner. Yay! I love this mission! Maybe I should open a whole new blog just for this mission so not to interrupt my daily ramblings? Hmm...

Remember... NO JUDGEMENT!

I had a dream...

... of my dad and I remembered we're in a Genting-Highland-like location and he owns a property there. We went to the biggest shopping mall there and he lets me buy anything. All I remembered at that moment was to go look for Dunkin' Donuts! I couldn't find any after going round the whole place and I settled on some no brand donuts as in my dad's on words "they all taste the same".

I heard my phone ring... I woke up... its my dad!

He called asking if I wanna go Johor Bahru with him tomorrow and I said YES!

[EDITED]
He called to cancel the trip... BOO HOO HOO!!!!!
[/EDITED]

I woke up 2 days later

I should have blogged last night but I totally forgot. Too many things on my mind right now. My 2006 did not go as smoothly as I've thought. I'm beginning not to like 2006 already. Anywho... I had already rekept what I've accomplished in 2005, now's the time to talk about my 2006 resolution. Did you know that I threw the idea of having resolutions in 2005? I promise myself to make one this year. I have to!

So here's what I have in 2004...
1. Lose weight (nope, nothing accomplished here)
2. Whole new wardrobe (I got some...)
3. Meet the future in-laws (pfftt! forget about that!)
4. Save more $$$ (Erm... I blew it for vacations and shopping)
5. Whine less (yes! this I accomplished!)
6. More attractive layouts for my site (I kinda have this accomplished too)
7. Make more $$$ (I can't figure out how actually)

So I guess for 2006, I will have...
1. to lose weight
2. to save money
3. to travel at least once a year by plane
4. to be with my baby for life

Reflections of 2005

Its almost the end of the year and its time I reflect on my life for the whole of this year. I may not be able to recall everything but the more significant ones are still fresh in my mind. Here we go...

On the very first day of 2005, I made a resolution to go for my navel piercing. Been hesitating for months in 2004 and finally I've made up my mind. I remembered those days where I walked past a tattoo parlour checking out the pretty, pretty jewellery. There was also one time where Fahmy held my hand and escorted me to one of the store and I stopped him. I couldn't stop shaking at the thought of going anywhere near the shop. No regrets and the pain was worth it! Till today I grinned when I look down at my "bling bling".

A couple of days later I managed to, for the first time, to have a meal in Little India. For 24 years I've been in Singapore, this day was the very first time I ate there. Good stuff. But nothing so special to me. Probably should have gone to a better stall or something.

19 January, God bless Channel 5 for airing Manhunt! Seriously I've never actually fancied our local channel network but because of that show, I'm glued to the TV set every week same time! I mean, I could imagine reality shows like America's Next Top Model and when I thought if they have a male version of that, it'll be awesome. And my wish was granted!

In March, I finally decided to invest my CPF with a trusted source and I'm so damn glad I did cos' apart from doing "the right thing", they threw in a Creative Muvo MP3 Player... sweet! I am still using it till now and I never left home without it. What a worthy investment!

A month later my usual 'flea market" gang pooled our moolahs together to rent a space and having done it before, we're stronger, more manipulative and we know what sells and what doesn't. As usual we had an awesome time and we get to make a few extra bucks from it. Guys we have to do it again!

Channel 5 made my day again by airing "Joey". He's like my favourite Friends character and they made a sitcom all about him! Dream come true? Hmmm....

There's plenty of first-times in my 2004. Another one has to be my virgin trip to Singapore's very own Snow City. Its not as awesome as I'd expected and yup, I'm never going there again. The place is small and there wasn't much snow to play with. It looks dirty too! I would recommend the one in Genting Highlands, Malaysia. Theirs are top notched! I wouldn't mind going there again if the ticket price will drop by another 10-15%?

My handphone will do this to me almost annually. That's when it struck me that its not worth it to indulge in expensive gadgets. I am breaking my habit of purchasing a Nokia from now on. I settled for a spunky looking Samsung. Plus Starhub gave me a $100 voucher to show their appreciation for my loyalty. I'm waiting for the day they'll give me a $200 voucher! I'm too God damn loyal, Mr Starhub! I really am! Anyway, the phone hasn't been giving me ANY problems till now *cross fingers*. Oh yeah, I named it Paris Hilton cos' I accessorise it with bling-blings. I love it! I love it!

2005 EA Games launched Sims 2! Like its sooooo about time! Grrrr... I bought mine in July and have been happily playing it since. I am back to being addicted to games like this. I can sit in front of my PC from the moment I wake up till late at night without food! That's how much I love this game. Oh yes, I also got a new internet plan and it goes vvvrrrroooommm... 1500kbps! The free goodies were alright... and I'm not paying anything more than my previous 512kbps plan! Nice...

Another bad habit of mine is that I love organising chalets for friends. This year we did again in August. We had a blast! There's plenty of food to go round. There wasn't that much of a crowd but that didn't lapse the fun factor that day. It was a mayhem. Laughters everywhere... Shiny happy people...

Ah yes, I went for more-than-I-expected vacation this year. One of them is to Genting Highlands right smack in the beginning of fasting month, Ramadhan. Its not something I will usually do but the experience rocks! Will I do that again? Hmmm... will consider. right after the trip I repacked my bag for a division retreat @ Shangrila, Sentosa. Awesome place and my boss let us all have a more expensive room. Awesome ain't it?


Just last month, I made history. I did! I spent the most number of days overseas than I ever had in other years, combined! 2 weeks in Thailand had enlightened me on so many different cultures, races, weather and many more. I went places and I pushed myself to a limit that's alien to me. I survived the trip. I'm being a bit of a drama queen here but you would to if you went thru what I did. Seriously... will do that again!

That pretty much sums up my 2005. There will be one more entry like this coming up soon... be prepared...

In the year 2006 I resolve to: Slap stupid people in the head. Get your resolution here
