Last day of the year.

I could not really remember what were my thoughts, exactly, last year this time, but I think I must have felt really down. This time round, its a little different. I am quite hopeful and am looking forward to the new year.

I have learnt many many things this year. It had been a fruitful year.

I am not looking for much next year, just wishes that I would be able to get together with my family and close friends more often now. I don't want to be sounding like a Miss Universe contestant, but I really do hope that the world would be a much calmer place in the new year. I'm sure you would agree with me that it was quite a messy place, the world is, this year.

Happy New Year everyone. Hope you would have a good one...

I would love to keep my hair long again.

When I say long hair, I mean at least shoulder length type of long. The last time I did that was 4 years ago? Something like that. Even right now, I look back fondly to those days. But many, well, all who have seen my pics of way back then said that it was a damn ugly look. What can I say, looks ain't the most important thing, well at least not on me!!! ....

Ok ok, before you pick up the phones and start to call me and give me a earful, that was meant to be a joke and not a sexist type of remark. Pipe down...

But I am serious about keeping long hair. If I had a choice of going bald or keeping long hair, I would actually take it all off. I have a friend who looked absolutely gorgeous with that 'clean' look. Its just that my head is shaped like a ball and I looked absolutely ridiculous with no or even very short hair. Then again, many think that I looked absolutely ugly with long hair. Well, ugly I can live with. Afterall, we must look beyond the outer appearance, right? If you looked ridiculous, then its all downhill from there.... ;p

Love actually IS all around...

And with that line, it formed the basis of the movie. A simple statement, but it takes a little getting used to and a lot of hard looking before we can really realised that love actually IS all around.

Between couples, among families, between friends. Its not difficult really to see the love, just that we sometimes don't take the time to look. Other times, we are just not open to it or even worse, we are oblivious to it. As long as we are ready to accept love, I believe love will come our way. Well, sometimes, it might even come the way of those not ready. I guess they will have to get ready in a hurry, before love goes away.

Aahhhh... well, my usual rumblings again.

I was eating at this noodle place last night. It has a branch at Citylink but I ate at the 'older' one. Now then, I must be getting really picky with service nowadays, you might say, but let me relate to you what happen. Then you tell me if I had a case for feeling a little pissed.

We placed our orders at around 735pm. I know because I looked at my watch, for the time. I did not do it to pick on the service staff mind you. Anyway, the drinks came fast enough so we chit chatted while we waited for the food. 15 mins passed, and the table next to us has already finished. Granted that they were about half way through when we got there. Our food was still nowhere in sight. 25 mins passed and 2 tables that came 10 mins after us had already gotten their food. Fine. I was feeling a little irate already so I told one of the passing staff about my 'late' food. He went,"Oh!" and he disappeared. 10 mins later and still not sign. I was pissed because another 2 tables that came after, already got their food. I went up to the manager and told him about it. Though I did not raise my voice, you could tell that I was really pissed. After all, a hungry man was a angry man and man was I hungry. He responded and after 5 mins, the food came. 35 mins after I had arrived. Note that the place was hardly filled with customers.
Still I was left with a sour taste in my mouth, not only because the F & B sucked, but because of the service.
One more thing, they do not charge for service. My question then, does it give you an excuse to give me poor service if you do not charge for it? Hmmm...

Maybe I'm just picky...
oh well...

Okay, I just tasted a new drink. It taste good. Granted that I was probably intoxicated when I drank it, which could explain why it tasted so good. But I must stress that I was not the only one who thought the same of the drink. Then again, the rest of the people who tasted it and said it was good were probably as intoxicated as me.
Don't just take my word for it. Try it.
Cognac + green tea.


Got pretty high last night, no thanks to a friend of mine. It was his housewarming and he insisted that we drink with him because we were on his "home ground" and he was the "biggest" - in all sense of the word.
But he was happy and that was good. In fact, we all had a very good time, laughing our ass off at some of the antics and the rubbish that was dished out. Gotta do this from time to time in order to 'balance' our lives out.
