31dec06. the last day of the year was spent having an annual, traditional steamboat dinner! ((:
FOOD!!!
the preparation was done by her, my auntie! ((:
JIE, can you not be so greedy?
tucking in!
my mei looking pleased with the feast! ((: HAHA
the egg that i cooked! hehnice dinner to have!
looking back at 2006, it's been a fulfilling year, for i had 2 milestones! first was, being involved in a stage production, huangcheng in hc, as a 9-year-old girl! ((: tedious yet enriching at the same time. kept late nights, leaving hc only at 10pm for the whole of 3 months. during the 3 months of hard work, i fell sick twice. One of the two times was super duper terrible! i suffered from cold fits which resulted in icy hands and limbs. i just kept crying and shivering uncontrollably. the result? successful, full house production. just glad that i didn't disappoint.
second was of course my FIRST AEROPLANE RIDE in june to China, Shanghai! ((: this might sound silly to many, but yea, it was an unforgettable experience that left me sleepless and excited for days! I guess I can better appreciate flights than those who are frequent flyers since their toddler's days. I witnessed a different environment, people and culture, seemingly similar yet quite different from Singapore. The lightings at night along the shores of Shanghai were awesome and breath-taking. Not to mention the great weather, only to be described as an outdoor air-con room in my own words!
sad ones are.. definitely the double digit, tragic loss of many great subject tutors whom we are already dearly attached to, not having much time for friends etc.
2007 is coming in just 34 mins...and it'll be definitely a hectic one. I just pray that everything goes smoothly and fine for me. A peaceful one is all I ask for.
I know what I want and I'm going for it!
happy 2007 people! ((:

the lights in ms chan's house..
the hype going on..
finally, a personal shot with ms chan (kitchen view!)
happy to see ms chan looking happy and radiant! i guess her new job gave her a reason to be! she was having a family gathering and didn't mind us being there. ((: the entire batch of us took up the entire living room and her family members were like confined to a room! opps.nevertheless,food was good! thank you ms chan!
i often wonder in amazement (& in envy) the amount of xmas cards that my dajie gets through the mailbox.and i'll reflect back on myself, how do i fare as a friend.i guess i'm not as good a friend that people can have as compared to my dajie.never mind,i shall learn from her. I'll try harder the next year.
i've given out 12 xmas cards this year..to the people that I'm closest to and appreciate most.i hope there will be an increment next year.
in return, till date, i got one back. That's from song! A guy! (: I delivered his card through the method of chain mail (bicycle chain, i mean) and he passed me mine through his main gate too.*thanks so much for letting me feel loved!* 8 years of friendship and counting!

Time does not heal wounds. Forgetfulness over the passage of time leads to the diminishing of the wound. Which is why some people can remember the wrongs done against them decades ago, so great it seems, the injustice... But is it, really?
Then another proof that time diminishes wounds not... the re-ignition of painful memories, hideous fury and ugly jealousy in one's heart, at the appearance of a long forgotten nemesis.
The matters of the heart need to be resolved, not forgotten.
Allies are acquainted in times of ease.
The truth of the allegiance shines forth through heated quarrels and darkest hours.
Only then can those proven strong be included into the bosom of one's inner circles.

max: "finance is a key factor, for with $, you can hire people to accelerate task completion.
But as with the seemingly paradoxial statement, expect nothing and you will be prepared for anything, is also true."
chong: "siao siao leh, xiao mei. ... "password?" me:"thos solutions!" -opens door- ((:
