Once in A Blue Room

SURPRISE SURPRISE!!

For a moment, you thought this blog gonna be dormant... To be exact it has been dormant, so you probably thought it was going to extinct. And then here comes an entry. To be honest, I for once thought it's gonna be extinct too... Yup but check back once in awhile you'll probably see some invaluable entries haha

OK OK.... It's been extremely long... You know the urge to blog just comes and goes.... And of cos there's greater urge to blog last time compared to now... Not only me, alotta of my friends don't update their blog that often already... if at all. I guess that's how certain trend just tail off and die down, the same goes for the once-upon-a-time irc and icq, and you have what the friendster and then there's the blog.... So due respect for those who faithfully and religiously update their blogs....

Well I do keep this space because there are certain things that I might still wish to share once in a while also serve as a means to update my life right here in the US. Like I've said nothing much to report but at least to let you guys know that I'm alive and kicking. And yes you'll probably catch me at those famous and yet nice eateries or food outlets back in Singapore soon. That's my main motive in my vacation back to Singapore, apart from spending time with my family and friends. I guess this time round I'll do more of a group meet up since I'll probably be spending more time with my family. Yes that is the call of a filial daughter, a duty which the filial me will definitely fulfill. So I'll be back dring CNY, flying off on 14 Feb 07 (Yes you don't have to remind me that's Valentines' Day) and flying back here on 25 Feb 07. Less than 2 weeks so start booking your slots people... Wahaha. And the best places to meet up with me? Places with food! Like Stingray, kaya, dao huey (Soy Bean), Kway Chap, Bryani, Zi Char, Kopitiam Lemon Tea, Rojak, Bao (Kong ba bao), kang kong, thosai, roti prata, roti john, bak gua and an inexhaustive list of exotic food. Yes Exotic Food! You didn't see it wrongly, cos these food seem exotic to me.... And I have friends who offered to bring me to the latest Canto/Mandarin Pop Club dragonfly (which I chanced upon on Shoi's blog) and Vivocity. Man I need to catch a movie, I've been surviving on DVDs and downloaded movies all of this 6 months. And that reminds me, I've been here for 6 whole months!

Alright so as usual I've been reprimanded of how I have not been updating my blog, how I've been lazy and how I should let others know that I'm leading a not so bad life. Besides the cold and putting on weight here, everything else is bearable. Well I mean it's good to experience such climate, but it gets freaking cold and goes to sub zero at night. So I've experienced snow for a couple of times, played and rolled in the snow, had a snow fight and all's not that bad. But I'm still missing on a snow storm which is rare, cos from what I heard there should have been 2 to 3 snow storm by now. And this year's winter is like the hottest for the dunno-how-many decade, and yet it was predicted that this year's winter gonna be the coldest in years to come. So the climate's really changing huh?


Alright and then I had a freaking car accident. I wasn't the one driving but anyways four of us from the household were planning to go to our company's gym for a workout session on a Sunday morning. And when we were exiting from a highway, it was green arrow for us to turn left but an oncoming car from our left didn't stop and was traveling at a relatively high speed. Both cars saw each other, can't brake in time, swerve their steering wheels away to avoid hitting each other. Still the cars hit but the impact was reduced. And yes since it was green for us it has to be red for them. But the driver denied it when the police came. And guess what they didn't have a car insurance but then New Hampshire is like the only state in US that doesn't require an insurance for the car! But anyways the issue was settled just that the insurance hasn't finished (or started?!!) their assessment yet. So we've gotta live with a car that has out of range headlight on the right and a smashed headlight on the left and an outta alignment bonnet. The car engine feels weird to me, pick up, acceleration and brake isn't that effective.

Had a company Xmas party and it was a good time for me cos I finally get to dress up! Yes, hiding behind all the long sleeves and jeans makes me sick and tired of them, I wanna flaunt my summer clothes! Haha and people who know me knows that I don't like to wear tops with sleeve. Yep and wrapping yourself under the thick layers of clothes only makes you fat, I mean you'll eat and eat cos of the cold and yet don't know that you've put on weight cos you'd think it's the clothes. And it doesn't help that the people here snack alot! Chips and chocolates, I tell you they kill. I don't wanna look like a fat pig when I'm back though I'm on my way there.... Shucks!



And then the most frequent question that I got was how was my Christmas and New Year. No it wasn't a white Christmas for me. Basically I wasn't home but then again, it didn't snow at where I stay. I was at New York. It certainly wasn't a white Christmas there. It wasn't even half as cold there. And then New Year was spent at Niagara Falls, a great fall located between the borders of America and Canada. I was at the America which proved to be a huge mistake. But then guys, updates about these trips will come in my next entry... which I'm not sure how long that will take haha
