Post-CNY 2006

So I'm back from the long CNY break (I took Thursday off too). Had a fantastic time with my cousins, albeit in boring ol' Seremban. We actually went shopping! It's not something we do at Seremban at all, but there was a new Jaya Jusco, so we thought, heck, we gotta get out of the house before we start to rot! Actually managed to get some pretty decent stuff (shoes, toiletries, etc). Oh yeah, and I bought a pair of dark red, plastic-framed spectacles. It's not something I'd normally wear, but since I could collect it within an hour (amazing, isn't it, that once, only photos were able to be ready in an hour), I thought, heck, why not? My biggest worry is that I'd look like a librarian. Or an aunt. So far, the comments had been forgiving *grin*.

The weather had been absolutely awful. In true Chinese New Year tradition, it was hot. And I mean, BLOODY hot. Five minutes after a shower, I'd want to take another one. Plus, I was food for plenty of mosquitoes. I'm now stuck with plenty of pink marks all over my arms and legs. Cursed creatures.

I was supposed to meet up with an old friend (whom I knew in Dundee) during the CNY holidays. Due to a change in plans, I had to cancel. It was such a pity too, cos I was looking forward to catching up and all that, plus he would be leaving for Australia on Friday. Shucks. Oh well, another time then.

Came back on Wednesday. Went out for dinner with 11 of my old friends from school. One of my dearest friends is getting married soon. Can't believe that one of us is getting married already! Where has the time gone? Looking at the wedding photographs (which were absolutely gorgeous, by the way), a small part of me can't help but envy her, and to wish that I'd get some of that action *grin*. All jokes aside, yeah, I wish I have someone too. I guess it's a seesaw kinda thing - one day, I'd love being single; the next, I'd be brooding for someone. Crazy, innit? After all, I'm only human.

Anyways, it's been a great deal of fun, the entire week away from work. Played a lot of mahjong, and a lot of blackjack. Won RM4 in blackjack too, which wasn't too bad (my maximum bet was 50 cents. Shut up). Cousins dahlinks, it's been great fun. Do it all again sometime soon, ya? ;)

It's back to work for me on Friday. Yay. Somehow I think it's going to be very difficult dragging my ass to work after a 6-day hiatus. Still, come Saturday, it's the weekend again. Whoopdedoo ;)
