I guess Chinese New Year is really coming…

For the passed two weeks, I had two friends that had called me along to be their “guide” in buying their 2009 CNY clothings…

I am not really into CNY, or hoping 2009 will be coming asap, that also goes for CNY as I don’t really like CNY as yearly, CNY will be two or three days of restriction for me as many shops will be closed and the CNY programes are mostly celebration and maybe as most of relatives are at Malaysia, thus unless I am invited to friend’s places, if not, practically, I will staying at home…(Sian…)

Well, I am blessed that at least I need not be visiting relatives as all of them are at Malaysia…that I don’t really know or don’t wish to see as practically, yearly, they will be asking sensitive questions that you wish they will not asked…

For example…

When are you finding a girlfriend? ( my response: Mind your own business…)

When do you plan to get married? ( my response: Do I care? freedom is my RIGHTS!)

How is your work? (my response: Even if it is not good, I still have to lie to say Not bad…

Well, if I say, I am not doing great…the relatives will spread the words and keep asking)

Christmas…

To me, Christmas is a festival of love and joy, whereby people around me will exchange gifts and will be willing to spend hours to shop for friends…

Christmas Carol, Santa, gifts, christmas tree, turkey…( though this year I did not have chance to eat…so disappointing)

Well, this year…I was waken by the handphone by keong, calling me to check, where am I?

And what am I doing now?

At 11am, where will I be…(my response: as now is holiday, OS in mind, Sleeping lei…)

I planned to have a longer sleep as the night before I slept quite late, around 6am, as I was typing my resume and updating some details, thus I planned to woke up at 12noon, so that at least I can get at least 6 hours of sleep, yet this plan was declare impossible as keong called to ask…

What time will we be meeting?

Yet he called to tell me, he will be working overtime, till 5pm…and Colin will meet me for lunch only… ( I was thinking, I can skip it, if you are busy with it… or can have it later…)

Once keong told Colin to meet me for lunch, the calls keep coming, I knew I got to wake up…

I suggested to have a simple lunch at Telok Bangah Market (the market opposite safra @ Mount Faber) as it will be closing for renovation, and as one of friends’ grandma is selling desserts and will be closing her stores in days time, thus I hoped I will have chance to eat her desserts before the 20 years store will be gone forever…

And yes, I managed to eat the desserts for the last time before my friends’ grandma officially retired…

I ordered Cheng teng…( a dessert that my friend will always take one away for me if we went Sentosa, or go out)

I like the cheng teng as it is not too sweet and there is sweet potato which enhance the taste and variety of the choice of cheng teng, and most importantly, it cost only $1.20.

Such prices will never be found in Clementi…

He drove…thankfully, I had a ride, but I did not know that this lunch appointment become a whole day event, as after that, while waiting till Keong dismissed from work, it is already 5.30pm++,

We went to Sentosa to get her ‘friend’s ‘ gift…and joined Jun Yuan and Kah Leng for dinner…at Bugis.

It is raining…instead of snowing, I guess, this is what it make Singapore so special during December as instead of expecting the snow, you will expect a heavy rain till late night…

Me, Keong, Colin, Jun Yuan and Kah Leng met up for dinner at Bugis, however, as most of the KTV were booked, thus as it is costly to sing on public holidays, thus we decided to play bowling instead @ Safra Mount Faber…

Below are some of the pictures that we took…
