um, its a bit late, so i'll say it quickly

for those who expected posts this past 3 months, i'm sorry that i failed to even think about the things to update.

yes, happy christmas and a merry new year. belatedly.

i had an enjoyable holiday with everyone, from freddy and gang, yishen and co., but of course, my family as well. nevertheless, it was a different sort of holiday than from what i had in 2007. i spent evening after evening playing mahjong and all sorts of gambling nonsense in the dark corners of jurong west.

and for a normal lifestyle, i picked up swimming and worked on my guitar. both of which had improved (well sort of).

for the cherry on the cake, i started driving recently, and it really busts the left leg.

celebrated yixan's birthday on sunday at din tai feng, and i picked myself up a chinese student to tutor english. and she's rubbish...

oh, very quickly... another year's passed, and most of our male buddies are going into NS. jia hao's went in, freddy, marcus, jon, yishen will all be heading into service soon. from what i heard, jia hao ended up as a storeman in BMT at the armoury. yishen is posted to the navy (possibly a sailor), jon got himself a spot in the police force (again, could be the police post near his house) freddy and marc, headed straight for the evergreen tekong.

i myself has got another year to waste away. so it will be my turn soon.
