Last blog of the year
31st December 2007 - It is the last day of 2007. And since my absence from this blog for so long, I will try to fit everything that has happened this few months into a single blog entry.
The summer ends and comes autumn...
September 2007 - It was my bro's wedding. Went home for two weeks, one week spent at home and another at Seoul. First thing back home was to the hair-dresser. Digital Permed my hair and loved it and still loving it :). The wedding was quite fun. A traditional chinese wedding, so much preparation, so many rules, so much to do and help out (arranging guests seats for the chinese banquet, "entertaining" relatives and friends, compiling some songs, counting ang pau money, etc. etc., i.e. basically just running around doing stuff!), tiring but it was all worth it. Seoul was fun as well. Foodie and a city explorer me literally spent most of the time exploring the city and eating away yummy Korean food. A city that is just enough for a few days. Surprising to me, most waiters and waitresses in restaurants do speak mandarin, but communicating with taxi drivers are really a pain!
October 2007 - Went home again for a week to attend Amy's wedding. Met quite a few of my secondary school friends that I've not seen for quite some time. Quality time spent catching up with them. Other than that, spent most of my time in KL mall crawling @ Pavilion, The Gardens, KLCC and meeting up with people. And amazingly, so many foreign brands has now finally reached KL! Then my bro and sis in law came to visit in London after their honey moon; having them cramp in my room for almost 4 to 5 days hehe. But it was fun hanging out in London and Greenwich.
November 2007 - Changed team at work. Felt like a newbie all over again (partly...). Somewhat interesting to do some new stuff. But was focusing hard on trying to catch up with the learning curve. Amidst the work load , it was the MCR concert! It was such an awesome concert...my best rock concert so far...Gerard Way is just so cool!. Other than MCR, went to Incubus and Alexisonfire too.
December 2007 - A lil more fun and interesting month. Company's team Xmas Dinner at Bar Meze St. Albans (they have quite nice calamari and humous but the dessert is so-so only), Saw Sian and Holly's stay over, crashing at 7 Cunningham Avenue, Mamamia musical, Xmas markets at Natural History Museum and Hyde Park (The one in hyde park is much much better! although I still can't find a stall that sells strawberries coated with chocolate. The one in St. Anne's Sq, Manchester is really yummy) , Xmas Party at Yi Fei and Hsemates house, my attempt to make Okonomiyaki after having tried the ones in Abeno Too, Xmas Eve slack at work (were literally playing an online riddle) and then the Midnight Eucharist at St. Paul's (such a holly activity to countdown to christmas...), Xmas day chilling at Annie's since nothing's open and no trains running, shopping on boxing day (went out around 10+ and there were already ppl queuing waiting for shops to be opened, the crowd got bigger as the evening draws by and ppl squashing each other on the pedestrian st.s...what a day...bought only two tops and a pair of jeans but all with discounted prices, so proud of myself :)) and finally the crazy idea of going to Copenhagen for the weekend! It was quite cold in Copenhagen. But at least it's not as dry as UK weather! It a nice "right sized" city that is quite easy to go around. Managed to cover things we wanted to see but missed the Carlsberg Brewery...just if we have 2 more hours to spare!
And so that is basically what I've done for the last quarter of 2007. Tomorrow is the start of 2008. Resolutions? The list is yet to be compiled, but hope to work on it asap.
Of course, there are pictures to go along the story ;) ... Nico's Picasa Web Album

Tuesday Blues
Yea I know. Long time. Had been addicted to Facebook lately. And hence the absence on blogspot.
Suddenly felt like blogging again.
Much happened these few months...Had been busy with a project in August...then went away on holiday...brother's wedding...Seoul trip...Incubus concert the week after...and home again this Friday!
Phew...
While pondering...
I am standing on the pavement...
Fast foot steps flowing past me...
I hesitated to drag my feet along with them...
And hence I stalled...
I heard someone shouting...
My name I heard...
It woke me up...
Suddenly I realise...
I have somewhere to go...
I don't know where...
But the first step is right in front of me...
And hence I dared myself...
With or without hope...I have to...
To move on...

Brought my work laptop home and meant to do some work...but not quite motivated at the moment hehe...
And resume making plans for Sth Korea in September. Anyone has any good suggestions, do let me know!...Oh man holidays one after another is just too hectic. I find myself making plans for every holiday straight after another holiday had finished. But I think things will die down after October, since I will only have 3 days holidays left after that lol.
Got to know about this "Test your Brain Age" game from Gary's DS. The game is quite fun, another type of brain game like Sudoku. Review: Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!.
The ideal score is 20. My first attempt score was 46, which is so bad LOL!
Went to Tower of London yesterday and spent about a bit less than 3 hours in there. Quite a lot to see I would say...
