i've been busy (and lazy) (:

i know it is REALLY time to blog when even a usually silent-reader like ruide tags for an update. ouch ah teck that was harsh, i've sat in a corner and reflected already so here i am. :D

cheryl came and left. my dear i'm REALLY glad i managed to see you again after so long, but i'm sorry if i didn't spend enough time with you. ):

clara's back too! (: worked with her at the baking school for kids for a few days in december. and that day, we played SQUASH. though i used to whine about trainings, i do miss squash a lot. i should ask yogi out for a squash date soon. (:

had TWO mahjong sessions in december, one at clarissa's with her, stef and clara, the other at my house with val, tong and vonn. (: mahjong sessions are fun we should have them more regularly. by the way, clarissa lives in a designer house! there are art pieces everywhere and her dad designed the house such that three walls form a smiley face if you look from above (i.e. you're in the sky and the roof isn't there). and her attached toilet is so hotel-like, i tell you, right from the design to the fact that there are white towels neatly folded and stacked on a metal rack near the shower.

i've been working at ocbc! the people there are really nice and funny, from the guy who interviewed me to the people in my department. the other day those in my department suddenly became engrossed in reading about their luck for the coming year, according to their zodiac signs, and it was rather hilarious. :D i just wish i had more work, though! it's very tiring to have to entertain yourself for hours, especially when you're confined to your desk and there's no internet access.

i finally watched charlotte's web! with shiyun, joan and dennet. (: wilbur is soooo cute: "hi, i'm wilbur, what's your name?" "charlotte." "charlotte! GREAT NAME!" and he says that to everyone, regardless of what your name is. he's so furry and pink! like piglet. <3>
we had class barbeque on 29th december, and after FOUR barbeques, 0605 still cannot start fires. hahaha alright we got the fire started but it didn't last long enough. eventually, tong had to bring some food up to her house to fry while she brought her oven toaster down and we toasted the rest. it's hilarious but we're a cool class all the same. no more barbeques, though! especially if don isn't there to conduct the barbeque heehee.

i have a cute tin soldier hanging off my phone, specially from taiwan (from vonn). that, plus food like mochi and mango pudding. (: i also have a baby camel, desert sand and a christmas card from dubai (from ruide). the camel walks if i put in on the sand and delude it by chanting "ruide rocks"! cool, yeah. then there's the pretty japanese-looking wallet from hongkong (from bee) and the japanese doll and and mickey mouse hairtie (EILEEN sunday okay!) from disneyland from japan (from cousins). there's also the colourful squishy long eraser from cheryl, nougats from clara and chocs and koalas from joan, all from australia. (:

i love <3 my friends loadsloadsloads. i want more gatherings, outings, chill-out sessions, sleepovers and mahjong sessions. (:
