Finally, some break for me!

Wow, everyone, it has been really some time since i last updating my blog, this few weeks has been busy yet enjoyable for me and as I awaits the beginning of another brand new year, past memories have flashed through my mind over this past year.. Sigh, how time flies, last week has been my last stay at my company (have to go back to school) and despite all the tiredness, I still miss time there. My colleagues has been nice and kind to me and I made a few really good friends there, especially, Melissa and Jocelyn. Miss seeing them at work but life still goes on and some day, I definetely will catch up with them! But the good thing is that I have some well-deserved break (for all my hard work) before going back to experience school life.

My last day at work happen to be Friday, and thanks to Jocelyn, that she treats me to eat for lunch... Really nice of her consider that she is financially tight. Then at 7pm, it happens to be the company annual dinner and we went down to Xi Yan restaurant at Craigh Road (quite near company) My colleagues, knowing is my last day, bugged me to eat more due to extra servings. Any at the end of the day, my stomach seems to has bloated... But the food is fantastic, especially the scarlop and the lychee icecream cake, absolutely YUMMY... And during the dinner, we play a interesting game. Each team are given turns to pick a envelope which consists of a question and we have to guess correctly 10 answers for each question. The team that guess the most wins. Unluckily, our team pick hard questions, resulting in loss, luckily there is no forfeit... The team that wins managed to win cash vouchers of notable amount... The end of the annual dinner also marks the end of my working life for the time being.

The next day, which happen to be Saturday, happen to be thanksgiving meeting for our cell-group... Jeremy's aunt has prepared food for us and i really thanks her for her effort. Straight after that, we played a game, called "The Marketplace", where each team has to conquer 5 different areas, namely: "Art, Media, Education, Government, Business". The loser team, which is led my Jeremy, eventually was punished to do what each other players tell them to do, and they do funny actions like "sliding", "peel banana" and "shaking their buttocks"!! Haha! When comes to the thanksgiving, it gets to be quite touching when each of us are given a chance to express their thankfulness and gratitude, till it comes to Vino's turn, where while she thanks people, she also takes the chance to mock at them... The whole session lasts approximately 2 and a half hours. It doesnt seems long to me and is definetely the most memorable for N241 up to date... Then we rushed down to church by cab..

Year end church service is never completed without singing "should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind"..... and all those hugging and thankings..... Church ends and off our way to Botak John which sells Western food. The Cajun chicken steak is served with a large potion which I took quite some time to consume... Later, I went back with Vino and I find time to go her house for a little chat as well as serving the net. We are putting new post to N241 blog and later we still spend time to go msn and surfing other stuffs. Wah, it has been a long day, but good to spare the time before my school term starts where I definetely will be busy...

A few recaps of the past few weeks... Shall talks about the Christmas period...

I went for Saturday Christmas service, really enjoy the "Christmas at Chang" drama, which talks about Mr Chang, the owner of a mega department store, how he changes from a bad boss to one that is full of feelings to employees. Really, Christmas season is a time to show our love to family and friends. Especially through expressing thankfulness and not to forget, giving gifts, haha, this Christmas recieve some very nice gifts, and really thanks to Vino, Desiree and Esther. For they really take the time and effort to send me very nice christmas gifts. Gals I great when comes to showing care to people.

Sunday, went to Jeremy's aunt's Christmas party with Vino, Lionel and Weifoong... They has a buffet there and we eat to our fullness. Then comes the exchanging of gift and I get a teddy bear!! Later, it is a bit funny as we stand up and dance and sing in circle. The wild part arrives soon when we spray soap foams to one another. That is very interesting and exciting except that at the end, the whole place is a mess. And we have to stay back for 1 hr to clean up the whole place. Rarely get so wild, enjoy it!

The following Monday, after work, my relatives has organized a party, and my family, except my elder brother, who meet his friends, went there. The place is at Downtown east where we book a chalec. Upon reaching, we went for barbecue before proceeding up to the room to watch TV. Getting bored, some of us play manjong. Reached home very late that day and I dozed off to sleep.

Tuesday, went to watch late movie with Tiong Kun. We watched "National Treasure 2". Tiong Kun find the show a bit boring... but I like it a lot, the show is full of puzzles and mystery. Interesting!! And the part where Nicholas Cage attempted to kipnap the president to find out the President's Book is really thrilling... Great show!!

Okie, this mark the whole Christmas period I have. Christmas is about having fun!! Hope next year Christmas season will be even greater.. Definetely look forward to it...

Hmmm, thinking of other great event. Got it...

During Hari Raya Haji, want down with some of my cell-group members to Pitstop Cafe, is a cafe selling western food while having lotz of boardgames... similar to settler's cafe... I like the environment and ambience there.. We played quite a few games, want to highlight two games, supposely called Imaginiffs and Creamion. Imaginiffs is played where each player's name is written upon the board, and each player's turn allow them to throw the dice to see his game piece lands on who, then he is supposed to pick a card which ask a question to the person who his game piece lands on. The card show MCQ regarding the person, and each player has to choose the option... and the option which most person guess wins and can proceed steps. The first to reach the finishing line wins. Creamion is a game with different type of cards to choose from, where we may have to act it out, draw or solve problems. At the end, we take a group photo, which we are allowed to paste on to their wall.

Well, this year has been quite relaxing to me. Other than work, which is still quite enjoyable, I am quite slacked, often going out to have fun. So next year, will be looking to new challenges ahead... But really thanks God for this year, for everything has been smooth for me. Of course, next year, there are many things I be looking forward to, but i definetely do miss this year.
