Some snapshots of my last week..

nami island in korea:) tralala.

skiing was fun!:) harder & more tiring than it looks. but definitely something i wanna do again:)

me in my pink ski suit. i didn't have much choice in the colour! but it really was warm & comfy:)

whoopee. i really had fun with you qi:) join me back in sydney soon please!

haha after korea, i had a couple of days back home before i had to jet off for sydney..during which i had many nice surprises:)

lynn! you really made my day:) with your company, and also by your very thoughtful present:) i love it! will think of you everytime and everyday that i use it!

haha i really was surprised guys. more than a week earlier, but it was still a special day for me:)

and so it all starts again..back in sydney..exams..but i'm just gonna take one thing at a time. guess you could say i'm feeling the normal missing-home-blues right now..but dinner with olivia perked me up:) somehow it doesn't feel as bad this time around..maybe i'm getting used to it, or maybe i'm just being more optimistic for the year to come..

oh and yay! my car is still alive!! hahah the first thing i noticed was the thick layer of dust blanketing the hood and windscreen. but i was so relieved when the engine started, albeit the engine only made a few weak noises when i first started the car, and i was half-afraid the car would just die on me when i first drove out onto the road. but all's good:) haha and it happened to be raining..so for a moment the windscreen was entirely gray cos of the blanket of dust, but the rain gave my car a good bathe:) hahah. whoopee.

going to bed now. i had near-zero sleep on the plane..haha the A380 isn't actually that much more spacious..but the tv screens are bigger:)

ruth! i've missed you so much:) hmmm. talking to you today helped me put things into perspective. sometimes i think i've got things under control, when i don't. but seriously, things are looking up:) reeeaaallly:)

yoohoo!

over here!

HERE!!!

hahah don't ask me what i was doing..i honestly thought i was out of range of the camera..think i was just trying to disturb cindy. hahaha and this was before most of the tequila..tequila party with the girls turned out to be quite a success. haha its the first time i've seen cindy pull an all-nighter. i don't know how i'm actually still lucid now after my grand total of 2hours sleep in the last 24hrs..and i'm supposed to be waking up in 4hrs time for my flight tmr morning..hahah i think i'll be zzzzz-ing away on my first day in korea. anyway, last night was a blast girls:)

people! i'll be back bearing gifts on the 14th! see most of you again sooon:)

wayne trying to look pro!

me and ruth:)

haha pool with the guys...just brought back memories of the JC days..in a way, its like no time has passed since then! haha everyone looks & sounds the same. hahaha except for wayne..who sounded huskier than before..heh he attributed it to a sore throat but we all think he just finally got through puberty.

heh the guys say i should find a SSS for myself in sydney..hahaha SSS being shy shuai surfer dude. hmm. can't say i can think of anyone who fits that profile..hahah but then again, i'm not that into surfers :p i'm weird eh?

fengwei making his singing debut!

hahah wayne challenged me..he would pick ANY song for me to sing & me the same for him. so i ended up being barbie for the night! "I'm a barbie girl!in a barbie world!" my gosh. how awful are those lyrics. hahaha at least wayne helped me out by growling out ken's "lets go barbie lets go barbie.." haha that was just hilarious:)

i had fun yesterday!haha what started out as a small dinner turned out to be a little class gathering for the day:) joint effort by me and shanon:) wish we could do this more often! it was really nice seeing you all again:)

happy new year everyone:)

the last year was...eventful. many trials and tribulations, but also many situations that allowed me to see & learn new things about myself & the people around me..i'd say i ended the year pretty happy, considering all things:) thanks to the people in my life, and thanks to God:)

thanks to newfound friendships, and thanks to old friends and of course family who have always been there for me. sometimes i wonder what i've done to deserve all the people in my life, and i just hope that all of you know what you really mean to me..i don't say these things out loud too often, but i also don't want you all to think that i'm taking anything for granted.

this year...i pray that i may be more perceptive, more appreciative, more patient with the people around me. i realise that patience has become somewhat of a repeated thing i pray for. perhaps because i am just waiting..for things to just come to some sort of an end, happy or not. but i really doubt that will happen anytime soon. but i've learnt to take things easier. no point dwelling on things right? at my lowest, i found that a simple smile and a mere listening ear did best to calm me down. & i really am grateful for that k. :)

so this year started with a bang:) hahaha many colourful bangs actually..but before the year started, i had a good closing to 2007 too:) haha filled with surprises, reminders & nice little moments of simple bliss:) too bad the hols are coming to an end soon..i feel like i'm just getting started. haha but enough of that..there's precious time left, and so many things left to do!

just a thought. its never possible to fully know a person is it? even after decades of years of marriage, i know my parents are still finding out new things about one another. even i don't know myself well; i'm surprised sometimes at how i react to new situations. or even with familiar situations, i find myself doing different things. but then i'm also surprised by how well some people seem to know me; to know what i need to hear at a certain time, to know when i need to just sit quietly without talking, to know when i need to let everything out. its scary sometimes how other people can know you better than you know yourself:) but also a nice thought:)
