Cant wait for Feb~
Sunday,Jan 4 2009, 12:39:19 AMUpdates updates and more updates~~
I'm kind of surprised. I woke up @ 7plus in the morn. Couldnt think of anything to do... at least not at the moment.. The minds like swimming in a whirl pool and I'm wondering if it's the after effect of the pill.
My nose's feels like a jammed up tap. It's blocked and it feels suffocating.. My throats as dry as the after effect of drinking a shot. Just that the effect of shots doesnt last as long as my throat does.
Next time I'll recommand ppl who order shots to get sore throat instead.
I've taken leave on Friday. Not cause I needed the rest (but of cause I welcome that) but because I had to take my basic ( O yes I've finally passed it. I can finally start taking driving class~). So it ended Wed was half day (New Year Eve), Thurs was New Year and Fri Was Arte's leave followed by Sat and Sun. But somehow the days just flew past and it's Sun already. Sometimes I just wish I could just stop time for a while.. Poop*
Since it's Sun and I'm going to back to work tomorrow, I've decided to drop a entry today.
The Xmas night was fun. Had a sleep over @ QY's. A few of the events of the eve
- blackout due to new oven
- UNO stacko
- heart attack using poker
- Twister
- animal game using poker
- bluff
- the "add rule game"
- YesMan (which I dozed off halfway thru as I didn find it funny but the rest did....)
And we had lots and lots of food cause the forfeit of the games was either eat or drink..
New Year Eve was a quiet one. Wanted to stay home to enjoy some quietness. But was kinda bored to do it alone. End up QY and ZY came over from CCK and after much brainstoming of where to go (which would not be so crowded), we decided for movie @ AMK. Wanted to watch Bolt. But only realise that the timing for the show was actually day timing.... Ended watching Bedtime story. Show's not bad....
Other shows watched in the last 2 weeks include:-
- Yes Man (during Xmas eve)
- IP Man (which I found very nice. Very Action-pack and funny~~~ Definately worth watching)
- Twilight (Which was also nice. Romantic, rather action-pack. I'll still recommand my gfs to go watch)
- Bedtime story was also not bad. Funny~~~ So nv regret watching~~
That was really a lot of shows~~ WOW
In the last 2 weeks, I've also spent a lot~ Buy bicycle, buy clothes, shopping~~ etc etc~~~ Woots! Think I really need a gold turtle... better still gold hill mountain. Ops* Kidding. Wait the entire world tink I'm really finding gold turtle... (And dear CS keep wanting to intro his fren to me. My! I was kidding.)
Ok la. Nuff bout those... A little updates on the past few days...
Been busy studying for basic (Oh yes. I really studied.) Managed to clear it on Fri. Finally. Anyway the paper that day was kinda diff fr previous. More situational qns~~ And some qn ans seem not to follow the book theory... Anyway, I've passed~ But the system was kinda gila that day so had to go back the nxt day (which was yesterday) to apply fer advance and PDL. Called the instructor but he say only can start teaching aft CNY... So now gotta wait till aft CNY.
O yes. I've also been busy planning fer the HK trip. Yeah Boss approved the leave! Hurray to boss! Wootz! Will post the itinaray up when its done.
Yeap. So that's bout all~
