not really the last day of the year but...

Met up with the girls yesterday for lunch and it was good! I haven’t seen them since the class BBQ last month. Been missing them loads! Instead of the fish sauce I was dreading, I got a very pretty jewellery box from nat and ra. Haha… thank god it was not fish sauce. =P Heh. Congrats to my dearest nat for the stuff that’s going to happen on Saturday! I want to see the “you know what” on Tuesday!

And I got my long awaited SRK DVD from ra! Banzai! Banzai! Banzai! SRK comes in a close second to my beloved Johnny Depp! Oh speaking of JD, I was convinced to start reading SHANTARAM because ra told me that JD bought the rights to this book and will be starring as the male lead in the movie version in 2007. Yipee!

Today’s a pretty mundane Friday… I can’t seem to be able to dreg up the energy to do anything except roll around on the bed and watching drama series. Sorry dear dot… for not going to your bbq tonight… I’m just feeling really tired and I don’t interact well in crowds I don’t really know. Nevertherless, have a fantastic bbq tonight and we’ll meet up for dinner or a drink in the coming year!

Ahhh… I need to meet up with my silly cousins!!! if I don’t meet up with them soon, I’ll end up eating the pineapple tarts I bought for them in Taiwan!!!

The coming of the new year made me think about old friends and new experiences. Not a bad thought to start off a new year... but I'm totally NOT looking forward to school at all... T_T

I’m back!~

Hehe… there’s so much to say but I’m in too much pain to type it all down…so it’ll just be more of a synopsis instead of a detailed description. Anyways… it’s supposed to be just a short note to remind myself of how my December went. =P

Taiwan was only so-so in my opinion…. The best thing about Taiwan would have to be its weather! Man! Winter is such a cool season… beats tropical Singapore weather anytime! The hot spring experience on the first day was good… but the rest of the days were well below expectations. No matter, it’s all a matter of experience! I’m too lazy to upload the photos I took… but it’s not much anyways coz I’d forgotten to bring my camera out 2 out of 5 days… if one of the highlights of the trip was the Taiwanese variety shows they showed on the hotel TV, you can imagine how “exciting” the trip was… =_= sigh…I think Taiwan would be more fun if more people joined us… =P

Because I didn’t get to spend enough in Taiwan, the day I got back to Singapore, I went shopping with J. The feeling of wanting to spend money was so strong that I really didn’t care what I buy as long as I buy something. I think I have a minor psychological problem. Hahaha… but I didn’t really spend too much money. Heh. The thought of the looming computer loan to be repaid by December 31 hangs on my mind. Hey J, let’s meet up again soon so we can exchange books and go shopping! =)

The training camp turned out to be the highlight of December though. Celebrated Christmas in kendo camp was memorable to say the least, even though I feel so god damn sore all over now. Throughout these three days, I’ve realized that people can be pushed to the limits and beyond. At least it was that case for me. The feeling of completing the camp without missing any sessions or dropping out fills me with satisfaction. The intensity and energy level at this camp is so much higher than the nuskk camp. Not to say that the nuskk camp wasn’t tough… but this is different in so many ways. I wish the juniors at nuskk would have the kind of attitude that the national team members are showing… the senseis were damn cool as well… really appreciate their dedication in taking time off work for the camp, though they’re damn scary during training lah. Hahaha…

Last but not least…. I’m so looking forward to a massage session that I booked via Candice last week in anticipation of the results, or should I say consequences, of this training camp.

Haha… I’m so smart.

It shouldn’t be that way… T_T

Realized that the balance in my bank account is shockingly low…. I’ve been too free with the card. Have to make a resolution to self not to spend on “wants” indiscriminately for the rest of December. T_T

Mass of pain…

As we all know, I’m not the fittest person around. 3 days of camp has taken a lot out of me… 3 days of communal living is bad… 3 days of sleeping without my beloved mogu pillow is worse… 3 days of not having internet access is the worst! Hahaha…

Right now, I can feel my bones creaking as I move… my whole body is aching and my feet are killing me! But there’s an overall feeling of satisfaction that I’ve made it through these three days (albeit with a fairly colossal amount of whining and complaining in between). The company was good though and I did have fun. So it all evens out in the end…

Oh ya, asstea drove all of us home today! She just got her license… congrats asstea… I trusted her so much that I didn’t buckle my seatbelt the whole journey! Hehe… actually my arms were just too sore for me to buckle the seatbelts… hahaha…

I’ve reaffirmed my love for Bleach!!!

Ahhhh… even though I had decided not to read the manga ahead of the anime, I’ve just succumbed to temptation. But it’s sooooooo nice!! Every character is so cool! Especially Kuchiki Byakuya! *swoons*


This scene is one of my favourites… hehe… isn’t he adorable?

Though J assured me that bleach manga chapters are out weekly, it’s still one week too long!! Ahhhhhhhhh…..
