Back to KT on Friday after work. The traffic was quite smooth. Still in the New Year holiday mood. Looking forward the Reunion Dinner with my Primary and Secondary school gang.

Saturday afternoon, went to Yin's house. Then it's time to get prepared to go for our KT BFF Reunion Dinner. This was the 2nd time we had this dinner. It's started last year. And hopefully can carry on every year, as this is a rare chance for most of us to gather and update each other.

Last Tue I saw a group of uncles and aunties having annual dinner at Bottle Tree Park. And this triggers me to wonder that what would it be, if we can still gather like this every year and had this reunion dinner, even when we were in the middle-aged group? Lol~

As usual, we won't miss the opportunity to take photos~~ XD

Here's the group photo of everyone during the Reunion Dinner


The Gals and The Guys


--KT Best Friends Forever--

哈哈，左盼右盼，农历新年终于来了！其实今年还蛮期待这个农历新年的。或许是向往着农历新年的假期吧~回想过年前的那个星期五，也就是收工的那一天，心情特别地好。回到哥打丁宜的家，过年的感觉更是浓烈。今年还参与了家中年饼的制作，还蛮乐在其中，发现其实制作糕点饼干还真不简单。

再来便是准备迎接牛年的到来。吃过团圆饭，看着电视节目，一直到午夜十二点倒数。终于送走了鼠年，迎来了全新的牛年~

初一早上起床，心情愉快。之后便接到朋友的短讯，说下午一起出来拜年。而我当然是一口答应，然后就是准备出门了。今年我们大伙儿的第一站是大哥打花园。去了Jackie的家，他的宝宝好可爱，但是很喜欢皱眉头，哈~ 同时我们也到了几个朋友的家去拜年。晚上则是到CK的家去。

Jackie 可爱的宝宝

延续着初一的拜年活动，初二则是到住在街上的朋友家拜年。当然除了聊天吃东西，我们每一年新年的‘常年活动’是少不了的。看着朋友在玩，我的手也不知不觉地‘痒’了，也玩了一下。不过呢，我似乎没有什么运气。。。XD 晚上我们则把‘阵地’转到了Jiang的家，就这样一直玩到深夜。

-With WT
-With YT

-被偷拍 :P
-“来，看这里~”

初三我们到了阿Pui的家拜年。但是人似乎比初一和初二冷清了许多。原因是有好些朋友都回吉隆坡或新加坡了。而我晚上也必须回新加坡，准备初四早上开工。去了阿Pui家后，我们的下一站就是Jim的家。在那里，我们除了玩“二十一点”，同时还玩“牛”。一个奇怪的名称，但是还蛮好玩的。

一连串的拜年活动随着我必须回新加坡开工，就这样结束了。不过，却只是暂时而已。两天后便是周末，又可以回家了。。。（待续）

As usual, another week past without realizing.

Nothing much had been done for this week. Most of the time was spent on work. Getting busier on work, but still manageable. As always the feeling of wishing a short getaway still remains there. Lol~

Went to walk around at Takashimaya, thinking to utilize the voucher on clothes and shoes for CNY, but saw nothing to my liking. Instead, maybe I can consider to use the voucher next time on the sports wear there. Hah~

Going Grade 1 for the piano course. The songs that are going to be played are so different from the beginner's course. But sure are much nicer than that of Beginner's course. Must perfect my skills on piano playing. That's one of my goals in Year 2009~ =D But 物欲擅其事，必先利其器，shall plan to buy a piano, a digital piano or a keyboard for practising~

One week to Chinese New Year~ Yay!!! Holidays again~ Lol... Getting 'lazier' after started working, keep thinking on holidays~ - -" Hah~ Helped mum on making some cookies for CNY. Developed an interest in making cookies, maybe can try to search for more receipes. Hehe~ Still remember that during upper secondary school time, I spent the afternoon time quite often at Ying's house, making cookies, cakes or desserts together.

CNY is coming. A time for a reunion gathering, be it family or friends.

Happy Chinese New Year in advanced~

It is a rare chance for me to have a gathering with my 大舅 and my maternal cousins in Singapore. It's been quite a long time I never meet with 大舅 since I last joined the gathering at Cameron Highlands in year 2006.

My 大舅 came to Singapore from Penang yesterday to visit his son WH who had a training in Singapore. And so my cousins grab this opportunity to have a gathering for all of us to catch up with each other and to meet with 大舅. My parents came from KT to join in this gathering too.

We met with 大舅 at my cousin Kiat's house and went to One Degree 15 Marina Club at Sentosa. There's an event there -- Volvo Ocean Race Singapore Stopover 2008-09. Saw a lot of ships and learnt the mechanism for a ship to anchor at that place from WH.(Erm, wonder am I using the correct English word here, lol~)

After that, we went for dinner at Clementi. Had a XO Fish Slices Bee Hoon. It's nice and the fish slices tasted good. Had some chat with each other and after that we headed home respectively.

There's still event going on tomorrow morning. Too bad I can't join for that. However I believe that there's always a chance for us to gather together. Looking forward the next gathering for us. And I think my mum will have the same sentiment with me too. This is a great chance for us to be closer with each other.

Had a good time tonight. My nephews and niece are cute!! =D

Taken after dinner. The table was a bit messy~ XD

My Nephews and Niece =D

突然很想回家。

或许说想离开这里，应该会比较贴切。

想放假。

想无忧无虑没烦恼，没压力。

哈哈，离农历新年还有三个星期，迫不及待期待过年！！

没什么特别的理由，就是期待！尤其是听了AK send的过年歌，歌曲里的热闹、活泼、快乐的气氛更是感染了我~ 哈哈。。。

现在正是打扫屋子、办年货、买新衣新鞋的时候。。。

过年、过年。。。（期待中~） XD

转眼一年即将过去。

身分从做了十几年的“学生”，转换成今天的“上班一族”。

从毕业，找工作，一直到找到了现在的工作的这段时期，看到了很多，也学到了很多。一连串的面试，曾经烦过，担心过，而这些现已成为了宝贵的经验。

目前这份工作仍有很多东西等着我去发掘，同时也提供了空间让我这个‘社会新鲜人’慢慢地去学习，探索很多课本上学不到的知识。看到了职场上的不同，人与人之间的关系，是一门很深的学问。

2008是让人留念的一年。农历年朋友的‘团圆’晚餐、亲手为朋友制作生日礼物、朋友到哥打丁宜疯狂的一日游、热浪岛三天两夜的旅行、怡保之行通宵聊天。。。拿到第一个A+、毕业典礼。。。开始踏入社会工作。。。到终于如愿开始钢琴课程。。。

其实还有很多很多。。。

总之，2008是个不同的一年。

同时也是一个转折点。

而2009则是延续努力，以达致目标的开始。。。

要继续加油~~

新年快乐！！！ Happy New Year~ =D

生活不该墨守成规
应当适时地挑战自己
让自己能接触不同的东西
不断地学习

在努力的当儿
也不能忘了休息
让忙碌的自己放轻松
舒解紧张的神经

不能一味把所有的责任都往自己身上扛
最终只会累了自己
分担分享
听取他人意见
再进行分析

这是最近我从工作上领会到的。前方仍然有着很多很多的期待，也有着很多很多的不定数。向前看，让自己不断地进步。。。

Yesterday was Christmas holiday~ And yeah, don't need to work~~ Lol~

Went to De Coder's board game cafe... But most of the time are wasted on game searching and also trying to figure out the game rules... Nonetheless, the outing is still fun~ Like the game called "Hali Gali"... Hehe... An easy yet exciting game~ Another game is "Bang"... It get thrilled when someone play the "Dynamite" card which means a 计时炸弹 to be passed down to every player by turn and will 'explode' when some condition is fulfilled...

And of course we won't forget to take photos while enjoying the games~

-A group photo of us-

Watched the movie this evening at Jurong Point.

Felt that the pace of the storyline is quite fast compare with the storybook. A lot of details are left unexplained. I think if I did not read the book before I watched this movie, I will feel quite lost. I like the scene where the Cullen's family were playing their Baseball game~

There's a lot of people at Jurong Point. Maybe were doing their Christmas shopping. After renovation, there's quite a number of shops opened at Jurong Point. Haven't really had time to walk around as it's getting late after the movie.

Christmas is around the corner and with that, Year 2008 is going to end and we will welcome Year 2009. Without realizing, I had graduated for almost half a year. So fast~ Year 2008 is a happening year, lol~ Maybe shall summarize this whole year in one of the upcoming entries~ XD

Reading "Seven Deadly Wonders" by Matthew Reilly now. After watching Twilight, it triggers me for having the urge to read New Moon as soon as possible, haha~ So, I shall finish "Seven Deadly Wonders" quickly~~

几天没上网，感觉似乎有点与外界脱节了。哈~ 每天一上网，总会习惯性地打开部落格、Facebook游览一下，看看朋友所更新的近况还有上载的照片。我想这也算是一种保持联络的方法吧，或许不常见面，但通过这样的管道，能让人了解彼此的近况。

最近又不知不觉地想了很多东西。工作、生活、家人、朋友~

觉得说每天机械式地重复着一样的工作，生活会很沉闷，所以我希望下班后的时间能有多些变化。能做些自己感兴趣的事情/爱好，学新的语言、技能、知识，充实自己。除此之外，还有朋友的聚会，不论是看电影、吃饭、唱K都好。让自己有多些期待。但却又不想每天都很迟回家。有点矛盾。

珍惜与家人在一起的时间。我觉得家永远是安全的避风港。没有任何人能像家人那样无私地包容自己。不管怎样，家人都不会弃自己于不顾。觉得我是幸福的，有疼爱我的家人，也给了我很大的自主权。想有多些时间陪伴家人。想家人都健健康康。健康很重要。

生活中，要懂得知足。珍惜。把握~

09/12 星期二
发现电话有点发神经，突然间hang着~ 电话荧幕时不时会变得空白一片，黑黑的，什么都不见了。但是不一会儿就没事了，所以也就不以为然。

10/12 星期三
Company Dinner。同事间都必须带一份礼物，然后以幸运抽奖方式来交换。此外还有三份大奖--$250 Takashimaya 礼券。哈哈，在一轮礼物交换后，就是抽大奖的时候了。。。而我很幸运地抽到了大奖~ Newcomer's luck, lol~ 发现我的同事们玩起来是疯的咯~ 真的是笑到脸差一点抽筋。。。

回到家，发现突然间电话荧幕randomly充满着多种颜色，好像坏了的电视荧幕，字迹变得模糊。不一会儿就变得黑黑一片。唉，正式宣告不治~ 最衰的是我的电话保证期只是刚刚过了一个月！又得花钱了~~ >.<

11/12 星期四
看完了Twilight。
想看电影，但听说电影并不如书本描写的精彩。没关系，还是蛮想看的。
打算明天去Woodlands Ossia。

一星期又快要过去了。。。时间真的过得好快好快~~~

Left 5 chapters to finish reading Twilight...A nice book, easy to follow, attract you to keep on reading and reading...By the way, I seems to have complimented every book that I had read..but to me, they are really nice...=D

Will have company dinner this evening. Wonder what will it be going about. Should have a nice evening with my colleagues ba... A good chance for us to understand each other more~ I think so la...hah~

It's always in a dilemma that would want to have more long weekends but every time finds it so hard to get rid of the feelings that holiday's going to end soon and everything will be back to usual. However, will still looking forward any upcoming holiday despite all those aftermath feeling...lol~ contradicting myself.... XD

So, next holiday shall be the Christmas... and soon it is New Year and then Chinese New Year...Haha~ Looking forward~~~~~~=P

Christmas is around the corner. As my Mum, Bro and his gf LY came to Sg yesterday, we went Orchard Road to "walk walk see see"...2 of LY's friends came along too.

Hah...Despite I had graduated for 1 semester, I also had 'post-exam outing'.. Lol~

Firstly, Monday I went to City Hall TCC with YS, YC and YF after YS and YC finished their last paper on that day. YS and YC miss the coffee there. It's the second time I went to TCC. I'm not a coffee lover, so seldom been there. Had our dinner there and '3 8' on each other's recent life~

Secondly, yesterday went to K-box with JY, AK, HC, YS, YC, YF, BY and Regina... It's been a long time I have not been to sing k~ Had a crazy time yesterday and we stayed there until midnight...>.< JY, AK n HC is even later...This gathering reminded me on our first-year gathering... Almost everyone of our initial gang came yesterday~ Shall have more outings like this, maybe can go elsewhere besides K-singing...=)

Look forward more outings in this December~ =D
