heya guys! its the OX year! went the usual visiting haunts over the past two days.. The eldest aunt's (dad side) for a gathering on the first day, and my uncle (mum side) for lunch on the second. both equally boring as the cousins sort of haf their own activities and life.. getting less lively.. well, at least the young ones (nephews and nieces) are having fun dressing up and seeing peculiar strangers (us?).. it seems tat as ppl grow older, they lose their ability to make frens.. remember how easily friendships were established over a block of sand (supposed sandcastle in the now-defunct sandpit playgrounds)? or how kids could just mingle together as if they were some long-lost friends? (now picture a grp of adult strangers at a cohesion event and u get wat i mean) haisss.. don't wanna ponder too much over this, but as with some simple quizes (like the one in which university students were unable to spot simple mistakes in a paragraph that young kids were able to), perhaps we should unlearn some skills and take some lessons from our young ones? hmm.. the way of seeing the world thru a child's eyes.. wat a subj it will be.. lol..
anyway, back to the topic, apart from the routine stuff, also meet karen at woodlands for dinner at pizzahut. had this:
quite a nice meal, but u will get sick of it after a few bites.. hence, best shared wif 3-4ppl and coupled wif some side orders. :)
went to kbox amk afterwards.. no pics, cos someone doesnt like to have her pics taken, and i dun wanna zhi pai alone.. lol..

Your Luck In Year 2009
Overall Forecast
Wealth vault opens widely, which provides you with great wealth luck. Nonetheless, be wary of potential lawsuits and conflicts. You feel energetic and ready to seize opportunities to strike hard. Perform to your best so that you can gain your superior’s good evaluation and trust.
Those doing business can hope for predictable results and can push forward for expansions. Students with diligence can also excel among others. Take note of home safety. Do not speed. Purchase properties if possible.
Career
An auspicious situation coupled with streaks of danger. Have caution amid the good fortune. There is ideal progress for your career and work luck. Business deals and relation with others are sweet; a good harvest of reputation and money. Working persons enjoy abundant flow of productive creative juices, leading to great performance and promotion chances or overseas assignments. Female born in 1945 should not miss the boat.
Love
Roosters are very faithful when it comes to romance. But there is no breakthrough in romance luck this year because of severe mood and emotional disturbance. Thus, be more tolerant and affectionate to your companion. Pave a path of common goal and future. Married couples could go for a rejuvenating vacation.
Wealth
A terrific wealth and colourful year. But it is accompanied by streaks of danger too. Thus, it is clear that ill-gotten wealth has to be avoided. Caution against deceit by vile persons as well as any causes of potential lawsuits. Guard your great flow of regular income and windfall luck from thieves and robbers. Invest wisely.
Health
Rooster has always been very mindful of their health concerns. But do not be complacent when it comes to home safety. Even when the body is strong and energetic, it can succumb to fatigue from overdrive. So take adequate rest and exercise.

*late update*
alrite, bought a crumpler bag thru an online mass order forum.. had this huge discount, probably due to some yr-end stock clearance? (i had even wondered if the source was legitimate or even genuine?)
This is it:
collected it yesterday aft going out wif the guys.. haven had time to upload the pics hence, didnt update.. not bad looking.. tho, black, probably gonna get chided for the inauspicious color of my bag :S
Spent my whole saturday bumming arnd at home.. playing games, stuffing my harddisk drive full of animes, tv dramas and songs in preparation for that long trip in march.. hahaz.. guys/girls, if u have any recommendations, pls contribute too :) thanks in advance.. heee ^_^

wah sian, tho halfday today.. was REAL busy la... hais, so sian lor. cud haf been faster, if only.... well, wat done is done.. u noe who u r! GIMME MY MAC MEGA MEAL! lol.
went out wif les, hm, mundmund(s). wanted to k man.. SOOOOOOO long no k liao lor.. (anyone?) but dunno y end up watch this movie:
as usual for jack neo movies, it has pretty low educational value and tries too hard to "Connect" with common folk by "addressing" issues plaguing the society. (Extramarital R/s, Men flirting arnd and Teen Romance). But compared to previous movies, this pales in comparison as it lacks a punchline.. I feel that the storyline could work out more for a sitcom kinda drama, instead of a 2hr long movie.. Not something to spend your hardearned money on, its advisable to wait for the vcd release (should be quite fast?) and watch it comfortably in your home theatre system. :)

dental xray O.o
Posted on: Wednesday, January 21, 2009
Posted at: 1/21/2009 07:44:00 PM
went to MMI @ NUS today wif leslie for dental x-ray.. met at Buona Vista MRT there.. and took bus 95 to NUS.. really nt a bad place sia.. vry cool-ish environment.. too bad i am nt fated to go there. haissss...
anyway, the xray itself was pretty quick, abt 5min? but i tink the combined waiting time of buses and queuing up for the thing took a hell lot of time... oh well.. such is life :S
on a side note: i finally bought the sansa clip aft much proscratination! so far, the major disappointment is its lack of the folder play option.... haiss... mus use playlist liaoo.. so not used to it la... haiss.. :( but the sound quality is really good for a 59 dollar mp3 player.. (heck, it even beats those overrated creative models) It packs the basic necessities of a modern mp3 player - fm radio, wma/mp3/ogg vorbis support, built in microphone. It comes with a striking blue LED display. the buttons are pretty well positioned, easily manipulated with a single hand (impt during workouts). the player oso comes with a detachable clip which is pretty useful for those pocket-less gym shorts or when u jus haf your pockets full. This is a real power contender in the tiny mp3 player war (creative's zen stone, ipod shuffle).
Features: 6/10 (Minimal stuff and i miss my folder select!!!!)
Sound: 8/10 (great, even with amateurish earphones)
Physical: 8/10 (small and portable, your only worry would be that it will go missing!)
Support: 9/10 (Sandisk has been doing a great job on this, releasing firmwares to keep even its older players new life with updates)
Price: 10/10
Overall 8.2/10 (Great MP3 player for beginners and people who want a secondary player for those workouts or when you just want to leave some extra baggage space.)

its a brand new year!

ah! my first post in 2009! happy new year everyone!
completed 2 dramas in the past few days:
1. Wu Di San Bao Mei
It's a showing starring amber kuo and Zhang Dong Liang. Zhang Dong liang plays the character Sun Wu Di, the heir-apparent to a famous HK style restaurant, Tian Xiang Lou. He has a pretty fiance, his own variety show and lots of fans who love him. But he has a very stuck-up attitude and was not liked by his employees. San Bao (played by amber) is a pitiful but cheerful girl who has never had true love before and lacks self-confidence. The story begins when Wu Di was "ousted" out by his trusted employees and was taken in by San Bao and family..........
A nice show, with lots of food and catchy names. The story isn't too long or draggy either. Great Show to catch :)
2. K.O. No. One
Ok, the 2nd show, KO no.1 is the pre-quel of X-family (rem that reallllllllyyy Looooooooooooooooooooooooong show?). The show is about Zhong Ji Yi Ban, a special class in Ba Le High School. This special class contains all the misfits / hooligans / delinquents of high school. The class leader is Da Dong, ranked K.O 3 (KO ranking is some kind of ranking system to measure the fighting capability of high school level students). The story begins with the transfer of Ya se, ranked KO 3 and son of a mafia leader, and Xiao yu, a quiet looking boy who is ranked KO4. The 3 soon become the best of friends. But after Lex, da dong's childhood good friend, rejoins the class, many strange things begin to happen and all seem to point to Ya Se as the culprit. meanwhile, ya se suspects that Lex is the mysterious KO.2...
This is a much nicer show than its sequel (mainly cos its not as draggy) and can see that the cast was retained for X family.. (tho the same cant be said the for the 3rd installment which is currently filming) Another crazy show for whiling awy your boredom. :)
Saturday 03/01/09went out wif ric. was supposed to go swimming in the morning but both of us overslept.. so had to make other plans.. he came over to my house for a chat wif my mum b4 we left for PS. watched "Australia" there. pretty neat show abt some events in australia with historical references. cool show which lasted 3 hrs (so u better find a gd cinema with comfy seats.. GV PS wasnt tat shabby but 3hrs on their seat is also rather unbearable). Great show to catch!!
