Haven’t been blogging but I can explain…. I’ve been sick for the past few days. So if I were to blog, most of my entries will be of how much I slept in bed.
I got bored of sleeping at home today though. So I went to the office to work for a couple of hours. It was an extremely productive couple of hours and I felt all alive again! Somehow I come from the school of thought where I believe if you’re sick, you don’t wanna be doing sick people kind of things like staying in bed or eating porridge. I like to eat GOOD food when I’m sick.. even if the doctor tells me I should avoid it.
At the end of my 2 hours in the office my body punished my defiance with a fever so I went back home to sleep. Only to pick Shorty up for dinner at Publika. After that… here I am. Playing Battlefield 3 before I go to bed. Somehow playing games when I’m sick make me feel better too. I remember when I had my knee injury in secondary school and couldn’t walk. Playing Counter-strike made me feel like I was walking all fine again!
So now it’s time for me to head to bed now. Good night guys!
FOOoooHH!! Haven’t updated my blog in 5 days. That’s gotta be a new record!
I’m sorry guys. Let me explain. Haha truth is I don’t really know what to update in the past few days. I’ve been back in Penang for CNY but my parents have made me promise not to put any picture of them on my blog. So the only CNY picture I can actually put up here is of this.
The one thing I get very addicted to every CNY.
We had a game going on among my cousins to see who could eat just 3 pieces of this and nothing more… while watching everyone else munch away. Nobody won this challenge. It was wayy too addictive.
One thing I noticed this CNY is how all my little cousins have the best of phones now. I remember when I was 13 years old, we had our little Nokias and all. Kids today don’t have Nokias. They have iPhones and along with their iPhones they have cute iPhone covers just like this.
I was supposed to go for an old school reunion dinner tonight but I can’t make it because I’ve finally fallen sick today and spent most of the day today in bed. I met up with some old school friends last night and they were telling me how I should go. How I would be “amazed” to hear what some of my old school mates do for a living now.
Sure many are engineers, accountants etc etc but one of them for example is a pimp. That’s right… a PIMP. He supposedly makes the most money out of everyone else too haha.
I don’t know what to tell my old school friends when I do see them one day either. If I did see them this year I would tell them the biggest change of my life this year would be getting married. Just a week before I followed Shorty to go try on some wedding dresses that she liked.
Only to realize later that the groom isn’t supposed to follow the bride wedding dress shopping. So I shall make it a point not to go anymore. Heh.
Ok I’m not feeling well now so I shall go lie down for a bit. I actually feel like having frozen yoghurt all of a sudden but I’m not sure if that’s the best thing for my cough right now.
In any case, Gong Xi Fa Cai everybody! May the year of the Dragon be a wonderful one for us all!
I gotta admit, when I first watched Tangled and saw the scene with all the “floating lanterns”, I didn’t believe that there really was such a thing in real life.
I thought it was just a Disney fantasy. Then one day I heard from my colleagues in the Philippines that Nuffnang Philippines did a blogger gathering some time last year where they got bloggers to release floating lanterns up into the sky together. When I knew there was such a thing… I knew I had to do it.. at least once in my life.
I just never knew I would get to do it so soon.
That “soon” for me was just recently on our company trip in Chiang Mai.
We had this nice company dinner on our last night at Chiang Mai. Right after the dinner everyone gathered around and the resort staff had a little surprise for us. They were going to let us release floating lanterns like this.
Everyone got excited and started letting go of them. When one of them floated into the air it was beautiful, when a few more followed it was a sight you would never forget. We didn’t have as many as the movie Tangled. But we had loads.
The Singapore team even released one together.
The one I released though had a little wish written on it. Got a video of it here.
