Happenings in January 2009

Didn't realise that i've not been updating my blog in January till Merlin asked. hee hee

Here's d brief summary :

31st Dec 08 - 1st Jan 09
Me, Den and Jerry met up at Boat Quay for new year party. ermm.. not really party...lol didn't drink, didn't dance, didn't go clubbing. We couldn't decide where to go and end up walked to The Central's Burger King for supper/breakfast (past midnite still eat...zz). And so coincidence, we met Marvin and Dwayne who are also snacking away at Burger King. We chat till 3am and decided to go off. I shared cab with Den... imagine the taxi queue (not very long but not moving) and the frequency of cabs driving to the taxi stand at Merchart Court Hotel. Tried calling cab but number busy or no taxi...zzz reminds me of last year when I go clubbing with the ex-GE players at Lunar (Clarke Quay). Waited 2 hours for cab...zz

A picture of fireworks ... not very clear as the position we stand was blocked by a building.

9th January
Watch RED CLIFF MOVIE MARATHON with Den, Jerry, Lionel and Gerald at GV Plaza. Managed to get only the seats at First Row... imagine 300mins of movie.... almost break our neck.. lol .. remember getting a "POSTER" fr the marathon package ...Nothing related to Red Cliff... some CNY Chun Lian type...Faint

Next few weeks was busy shopping for Chinese New Year's goodies, clothes, decos. Brought my mum to nursery to grab a few pots of plants and flowers for CNY (tradition - every year she will buy a few pots... whole corridor full of her potted plants... lol... CNY flowers don't really last anyway, only some plants that can keep growing). Took a picture of a flower that looks like a heart.
