Haha! I finally updated my profiles. Check the right side.
Oh no, the turkey's still in my head la! I can't seem to get it out of my head, which apparently, the evidence can be seen clearly from my updated profile.
I just want this week to be over, so that I can start on my assignments and essays. The two tests this week are really making me cranky.

Whee we're on our second day of 2009 already! I can feel 2009 whizzing past me like what 2008 did. Overall it's been a great year; I've graduated from a couple of things - from SP, from being a teenager, from driving school etc.
The countdown at Vivo City was.........forgettable. To be truthful, I can't exactly remember what happened, as my face was permanently glued behind the camera to take photographs. All I know is
a) Elvin, Dai Yangtian and Nat were hot. b) Jeanette is not cold as she seems c) MDC people don't know other dramas' names to save their lives d) Lucify and Yi Shi Jie can make me go deaf e) It signals the beginning of 2009

OMG my frequency of blogging is seriously dropping! I'm becoming lazy! No, actually I've become busier. So busy until I have no time to think of what to blog. Anyway, I've been on a drama spending spree again! This time, 7 new dramas. I'm beginning to think it might be a waste of money, but who cares! I just need to get my TVB fix.
Speaking of which, I haven't bought my Taichi DVD yet lo! I'm just watching the DVDs that I loaned. LOL! My Vinlissa fever is coming back!
I know I haven't updated the event in Malaysia yet. To really keep it short, that trip was both saddening and happy at the same time. Tears of sadness and tears of laughter were both shedded on that 4 days there.
Just a tribute to him: I will always remember him for his love for stout and bak kut teh together, his shot gun which he used to hunt wild boars with. Not forgetting, the items that he gave to me: a crocodile tooth and my table tennis bat. He was always laughing and didn't mind how people looked at him. I'm glad I visited him the last time before, and that I'm happy that he's somewhere else, being freed from all the pain.
To my grandfather, you're one of the coolest grandfathers ever!
So, we celebrated our annual Lee Clan gathering on August 31st again. It was great, just that Bak Kwa face was in my way again. Seriously, does she even have an inch of respect? I'm actually referring to my grandfather's funeral. Oh well, long story. She basically managed to piss everyone off, just that I was the only stupid one who actually showed my black face.
Food was great at the gathering, and I've become a grandaunty already lo! OMG, some of my nieces are even older than me. Feels damn weird when someone calls you aunty. WAHAHA! But what age are we living in nia? Just call by name. LOL!
I've decided, I'm going back to study soon. I can't really take the politics from work at this time. Maybe when I'm more rubbed around the corners, I'll return back to work. But I'm looking out for management courses! Anyone knows of any local management courses?
Went for cycling yesterday. The seat was so damn freaking hard -.-. I think all our asses were like 'broken' when we got off the bikes. LOL! I'm probably not going cycling for a very long time to come. Cycling is fun, but not fun when your ass and thighs start to hurt. Maybe it's because we've not exercised for very long ba.
Plus, I think us exercising is like an excuse to pig out on junk food la, because we went Popeye's after visiting Queen. OMG! LOL. And we ordered so much food. All the exercising gone to waste. Never mind, next week will probably be badminton or table tennis again. Haha, I can't wait!!!
Okay, this post is gonna last for one week. Read your eyes out.

You know working takes your life away when you find yourself not blogging for like 9 days?! Wah that's like more than one week ago since I last blogged.
Sure, work's better than studying, at least you get money. But the novelty wears off quickly, unless you find you're working in a good environment, then that's a different case. The working environment I'm in now, is pretty okay, although I definitely prefer one department more than the other. I'm just waiting for the time when I can work in the company that some of us have said we want to do together. =D
Everyday it's just wake up for work, board the crowded train which I super DUPER hate, work at the computer, go home eat dinner, sleep and over and over again. The same old routine. I think Bee can understand the situation, now that she's also working. But at least hers is only for ITP!!!
Think I will definitely go back to studying first, probably by mid next year. I definitely don't see myself working and working forever. I'm not someone who works at the desk wearing nice clothes! GIVE ME UGLY CLOTHES TO WEAR!
Anyway, today's TT session was great. Initially I was feeling very down yesterday due to something. I think all of us were feeling quite depressed la. But today, it really brightened up my day. Sports can really destress us man. Anyway we're playing more sports next week! I super can't wait. It's like the thing to look forward after a week's work!
I have to be more encouraging though. I think I come down very harsh on people sometimes. =x
Badminton next week!

Singapore has won the silver medal in the table tennis women's finals! Yes, we lost to China, but we didn't lost by just giving up! We bloody hell fought the hell out of them and lost with pride!
I LOVE THE TABLE TENNIS TEAM! First it was Jing Junhong who got me hooked on table tennis, now I've been watching Li Jiawei playing, and there's definitely more players like the all so cute Wang Yuegu (whom Eve and I thinks her actions are super cute!) and the super uber cool Feng Tianwei!
Damn, I teared when I read the article that Tianwei dedicated her medal to her father.
Take that, Ronald "Half-hearted" Susilo. If you just put the same effort as you did fighting for that house/car/I can't remember what it is, you'll probably have won.
