I have been too tired to write the card the nite before, so i practically drafted everything in the office. And sorry my dear, by accident i found out that you are sending me flowers to the office. Erm… No more surprises liao. Instead, my neck stretches till very very long becoz my flowers haven€„¢t arrive till like 4.30pm. Still gana suan by my boss “The florist must be very busy”. Duh~ (-.-‘”)

On Friday, went to my cousin’s birthday dinnet at Marina Square’s Yuki Yaki. The food there is so much better compared to what I eat 3 years ago. At least now the food is self-service and the DIY ice-cream is free flow. Last time, they used to serve you plate-by-plate even though it is buffet. And the ice cream cost like $2+ per cup. Time have changed. LOL

On Saturday, went to mom€„¢s friend house for our last Lunar New Year Visiting. In the evening, met up with Suqin, Laily, Serene, Kee Yong, Jackie aka Wayne for dinner. Ate Fish and Co. As LiXiang and Serene was tired, Suqin got something on, we disbanded quite early.

Have been rushing for my NTU admission portfolio the last few days. Too much to “put up a good show”. I was rushing to Paradiz Centre to get my portfolio wire-binded on Thursday. Go to the ATM to withdraw cash, took the card but forget the money. Only when i reached Paradiz Center by cab, i discover my cash are gone. I still own the taxi driver money. Stewpig~ Next time don’t talk on the phone when you are withdrawing money. Arghh…

Thanks to Pei Jun, Lester’s secondary school classmate, we manage to navigate through the buildings to the admission office. And i would say, you can’t reach the blocks by the buses in the school. You still have to walk. And it is complicated. Hahahaha~

I spent about 3 hours or more daily fixing and improving my WordPress plugins. If you like my plugins and enjoy the fast support I have given you, do consider to make a donation to me. Thank you =)

Yesterday went to an OCBC dinner together with my mom at Grand Shanghai. The food for that day is kind of lousy but the activities organize for us is quite cool, there is cartoon sketch, Chinese fan painting and photo taking with a trishaw. My mom did a Chinese fan painting and both of us was queuing for the cartoon sketch while they have the lucky draw session. To my amaze, when they call out 8833, I couldn’t believe my ears, my mom’s lucky draw coupon has won the 1st prize. It is all the Chinese zodiac characters gold plated together with a Martell Cordon Bleu.

Personally I don’t believe in lucky draw till yesterday.

Fearless
Caught this action flick on the 2nd day of Lunar New Year. I must say that this is indeed the best Jet Li movie after so many years. I still think he is more suitable for those “Wu Xia” movie rather than those modern day type of fighting movie. It is also touching towards the end of the movie. This movie is based on a true story.

I Not Stupid Too
Jack Neo’s latest movie. Although most of his movies are quite average, but this movie is a must watched because this movie portray a very real life situation between kids these days and their parents, how they communicate and how their parents interpret them. It is funny but at the same time very very touching. Saw some of the guys with watery eyes after watching the movie.

Chinese New Year
Pay the usual visit to the relatives’ house during the Chinese New Year. Except that 3 of us (siblings) gathered to Mr Yuan’s house. Hee~ It’s been long time I have seen him after his retirement. Anyway, great visits and had a lot to catch up.

University
I have enrolled for NUS and NTU this year. Will need to prepare my portfolio and a short video of about myself and send them in by this Friday for the design course i am opting in NTU. Still thinking of other schools like NAFA. But will be going to their open house 9 to 11 February 2006.
