It had been a hectic 9-day back to back (excluding Sunday) visiting lectures from RMIT University. So glad that it's finally over. Now I've got a full 1 week off after they postponed Friday's class. So I'm kind of slacking it off till the start of local lectures on Wednesday.

The Careteam girls gave me a birthday present (or 2) on Sunday and it's soooo cute! Thank you girls! I love them so much so I'm posting the pictures up. They gave me a cup and a key chain..so there: -

"Million Dollar Accountant"

"Proud to be a 100% qualified, auditing, book keeping, precise, honest, tax advising Accountant"

The cute turtle key chain

Got the picture from Yun Jie that we took on my birthday, the 'little' clebration we had during the short break.

Went for my driving Final Theory Test (FTT) and pass it, now I'm trying to get a slot for my auto car practical lesson done asap so i can book my final test, which i assume is fully booked til April already.

Just received the 5th season of 7th Heaven which i ordered over ebay today, i'm like so happy because it's been months or rather almost a year since i got the 4th season. So i guess i'm gonna be 7th Heaven-ing thru Chinese New Year.

Speaking of Chinese New Year, I've yet to start my CNY shopping yet. Just got $150 from my mum to do my own shopping. I guess I'm probably gonna get the same stuff - jeans and a couple of t-shirts, maybe a pair of shoes or two.

My movie life has been pathetic so far this year. Haven't watched a single film at all since Christmas. Probably there aren't much of nice movies showing nowadays. I've been planning to watch Boogeyman 2 and Linger all this time but can't find the right time to go watch it due to school and location. They're only showing these 2 movies at PS and i can't find a perfect time to go down for a movie and all. Probably gonna go down to watch em tomorrow or either Monday or Tuesday and do CNY shopping at the same time.

I have reluctantly welcomed myself to the ranks of the 20s. Depressing as it may seem, what other choice do I have?

Cheers to all those who sent me their greetings.
- the family
- Yan Lin
- Siti
- Ching Ling
- Juliana
- Navleen
- Joanne
- Uncle Henry & Auntie Nat
- Melissa and family
- Yun Xin
- Yu Wen
- Yun Jie
- Pei Yin
- the beloved shua gu dog Milo (lol!) *in my dreams*

It was my bro's 13th birthday too. My parents bought 2 cakes and we were all cake crazy again after the numerous logcakes we had during Christmas. My parents gave me red packets, just at the time when my bank was drying up and about to be shut down (>.<). My bro got a red packet from my mum too and a new handphone from my dad. My sis and I shared a $50 popular voucher for my bro and I got an $88 Golden Village gift card worth of movies and snacks from my sis. Being the stingy little boy that he is who rather spend his money on comics, didn't expect to get anything from the brother. Siti gave me 2 bars of Toblerone chocolate to add to the enormouse pile of chocolates in the house..haha.

I think the worse thing to have on a birthday is school, so yeah, had to go to school too. Surprisingly, during the break, Yun Jie and Pei Yin brought out a piece of cake and lit it and Yu Wen joined in. I was so surprised when i saw it and for a moment i was like - oh wow! You actually bought a cake! For whom? Then I thought - it's my birthday today so it's actually for me? lol! Then after they asked me to sit in front of the cake and i was like - oh, it's actually for me..haha! (i know i'm a bit slow but can't help it..haha). Then took a few pictures and sang the birthday song softly - because there's a lot of ppl around and it's kind of pai seh to sing so loud..lol! Had to finish the cake (yeah, another cake!) during the short break. I've only known these girls for a mere 6 months and it's kind of unexpected (and yea, i was very much surprised) that they'd planned something like that, thanks a lot girls!

After class headed to Orchard Hotel for dinner and ate like nobody's business. Have to start losing weight already until maybe until before CNY and continue after that. If not, by the time CNY's over, I would have gained like 10kg - if consider the Christmas, birthday and CNY feasts all within 8 weeks.

I reckon that the worse thing to have on Saturdays are afternoon classes and that is what I'll be having later. Saturday afternoon classes are by far the worse and the most boring time and day to be having lessons. But at least it's for today only. I'll be having Saturday lectures for the rest of the semester too but they'll be in the morning. The negative side of it is no doubt that it's a Saturday, but the positive side is that it's in the morning.

I don't think I'll post anything anytime soon unless I'm bored or anything out of the blue happens. Cheers!

The new year's here and today's the first day of school. Gonna have intensive afternoon classes for these first two weeks just because the Australian lecturers have to come down to start off the lessons (and that includes Saturday mornings!). In fact i'm gonna have all the Saturday mornings occupied for lessons, how much more pathetic can my weekends get? Good thing is that I'm having Mondays and Tuesdays off...talking about long weekends....hmmm.

Promised pictures the last time round, so better put them all up before school craziness starts getting to my head.

Ok, so posted some pics up, at last! So my birthday's coming this Wednesday and I'll be 20! Not quite looking forward to it cause i just don't like the 2 in front. Wonder what it'll be like having the 3 in front. Kind of enjoy the teen part though. My brother's turning 13 on Wednesday too. *jeolous* This is like his 1st year as a teen and my 1st year out of being a teen. My sis asked me to write down a list of things i want and she decided to get me 1 set of movie vouchers and she's getting my bro a new handphone.

My grandparents were baptised yesterday. After church we went down to Church of Singapore at Katong. There were like 87 people getting baptised yesterday and we were like 'whoa!'. Luckily my grandparents were the 2nd and 3rd ones. So after they were baptised my parents, bro and i sneak out for lunch cause we haven't eat yet and it was like almost 3pm already. We only went back after everybody finished..haha. My uncle also sneaked out for some coffee break...haha! It's only been like 6 mths since they started going to church and they're baptised...we were like..that was fast! haha!

I think I've gotta start getting ready for school already..c'ya!
