MY Fujitsu notebook had broken down

My 5 year fujitsu notebook had finally broken down!
I got two options
1. change my motherboard
2. buy a new notebook at the upcoming computer fair...

noticed and observed

noticed that alot of blogs are kind of slowing down in terms of the entry...mine is no exception....

Wonder if it is because there is no time to blog?
Or is it becuase he or she had a new project to work upon, hence putting the typing of the entry a lower priority?
Or is it because I shack cannot think alreadi?
Or is it because people dare of come out of the "shell" of the blog and meet up face to face?
Or, lastly, is it because we are still strolling ourselves into the new year?

My thoughts, my feelings and my aliying blog..

Efung is safe and sound in NY

Just got the email from Stefen that he is safe and sound in NY....

His journey continues from there on....

As for myself in Sillypore, things are gearing up...just recovered from a cold...not the best of the feeling though...

Tried to develop photo, my portable hard disk cannot work; tried to repair my watch but missed the exit from PIE. I sense a bit of disappointment in my side...However, I took a deep breath and say - there is no need to feel disappointed, there is always the next time... I shall grow from this experience and move on like a man!

Indeed, a man, I am

Enjoying the few days of leave again....

Back from my flight...taking this time to enjoy the few days of leave...

Esmond tay wedding, baby Jen first year birthday celebration, new school, new reporting officer, new things to look forward for this year, sending off Efung bound for NY....

Too many things to clear from last year...better work efficiently!

:)

Merry Christmas to all!

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

mi and min and nicole

No.No..No...

No, we am still not on my honeymoon... but we are going in exactly 36hours time....

Went back to work for a while...not too bad with hong kong and Osaka..Now here I am, standing in front of the TV watching "Hitch", preparing myself to go to the honeymoon with Min.

I learned that the history of honeymoon is for the couple to sneak off silently in the middle of the reception to go for the honeymoon. I thought that was really tiring to do so...but it sounds cool though...

that is all for now...post wedding celebration begins!

Congrats to Judy and Julian

Happy marriage, Judy and Julian(extreme left)! It had been so nice to see the both of you tie up the knot together...

Never would I expect that bringing the both of you to a trekking trip, unknown to each other then, will led on to a relationship and follow up to be husband and wife...

My heartiest congrats to the both of you, once again.

Should I stay or should I go?

I was reading Mr Miyagi blog and realised that he is moving on from the Mr Brown Show... Kind of sad that the good times had ended, but one had to realise that as one gets himself in the comfort zone, is it time to stay or should I go? Miyagi is the best man to answer himself.

The pastures may be greener on the other side, but there is always a risk there. For one, I am not the super chio ster garang trooper man, so I tend to be more on the conservative side. But too conservative is no good either. Balance is the keyword here..Am I am still working on it....

Was reading Dion blog and realised that much of the year had gone past in the blink of an eye! Very much I wished I could had done more, but there is just too little time(ooh, come on, aliying...think you spent too much time sleeping alreadi and also too much time spent finishing a trivial affair)

For myself and the rest of the readers, let's cherish the remaining days till the end of 2006 and make it a new natural high!

The last bachelor drinking session...No holds barred!

Was reminded by my friend -...."eer, when are you going to do a write up on the drinking session at ECP chalet?" Still feeling strong after the mumbai experience, I carried on to write abt the last bachelor drinking session with my uni guys at ECP chalet? "what, still got chalet gathering at your late twenties, OMG!!!"

A strong turnout of abt 18 of us came...In good spirit of the class gathering since year 2000. It felt so good to be at the receiving end as Mark and weimin were the ones organising it. It felt so good to be able to attend the class gathering, even though everyone was very busy with their own personal committment.

Kudos to Mark and weimin for organising it. It was a nice and breezy dinner at Scruffy Murphy. Even Kat aka Jieru aka Chio haolian came by to say hi. Believe it or not, the guys do appreciate your effort! You could have just steer clear of us with your roller blading, but you came by to say hi! Nicey!

Back to the no holds barred drinking, after the dinner, it was the time to say "Ta" time. "Ta" to Mini Martell, "Ta" to vanilla volka, "Ta" to Chinese Atomic bomb, "Ta"to Coffee Liquor, "Ta" to Laos beer, compliments from Efung. The drinking is fierce, even for myself....Man, it is time for the previous best three drinkers to step down and to witness the arrival of the new gen drinkers, Mark, Elsen and Thomas...(Thomas would be my next target....whack him big time next.....hahaahahh!)

Good Time? Definitely...Next time still have good time? Definitely!
