Its been 10 days since I last updated. So here's a brief recount of some significant happenenings the last couple of days. But I don't wish to dwell too much on the past...
22 December- Office's Christmas Dinner.
I must say it was fantastic. The food was burrrp-fect. and the people were so enthusiastic. There were some points when all the adults went into their usual grown-up chat, leaving Jo and I to entertain ourselves at the dinner table. First we played with the nicely-folded towel, by putting them on our heads, and taking photos. (terribly bored) Then we were freezing, so we started cupping our hands on top of the candle holder. I was so tempted to blow it out. (still bored... and starving... and freezing...) Finally, the long awaited FOOD came. Oysters, pasta, lamb shank.... mmhhmmm~ I downed a cup of champagne and I had a hangover the next day. I suck with alcohol. ack. never liked those stuff anyway.
Oh, that day, I got to wear my Zara razorback, and my $179 Guess skirt. So I was basically in white and gold. And I got myself Travis's racing tracks. But the female version. No, I did not shave my hair. Braided the top part of my hair, and straightened the bottom. Cool hairstyle, really satisfied with it. Will post pictures up tomorrow. Shall not break the typing/blogging-momentum. And on 29 December, I had to remove those braids because they were seriously in a mess. My hair was just sticking out randomly, and I ended up looking like a bird's nest. I untied them, lost a lot of hair, and my hair was just so curly. Fascinated by them, I started taking photos of myself. *grins.
Overall, that christmas dinner was simply delovely!
29 December- Last day of work, Seoul Garden lunch, Nanyang Primary Reunion
Last day of work was bittersweet. It's kind of sad because I'm leaving the company, saying goodbye to a group of wonderful people that made the oh-so-boring job so fun. But I received my first paycheck in my life! A great accomplishment, I think. It wasn't a lot, but at least I earned them with my own hands (and mouth. You won't imagine how many people I called altogether and how many times I had to repeat my "script")
After half-day of work, made my way down to taka's Seoul Garden with Jo to meet the rest. The food there aint too good, but I managed to fill myself.
Don't know what happened, but I won't bother to find out, because we are all going on seperate ways. I will no longer affect your life, neither would you affect mine. I guess 2 years of close friendship all come down to this- akward silence...
Nanyang Primary reunion at Timothy's house. Quite a lot of them turned up. The guys changed alot, but one fact doesn't change- I'm still the tallest! So, every one spent the whole time being so fascinated with my height (as usual) It's great but pressurizing to see everyone doing so well in life. I have to buck up! ( Go X Y!)

Now, I'm going on to the immediate future! Thats tomorrow.
31 December- Toilet/Kitchen-warming at Jo's house.
Yay! I get to explore the Versace-tiles-tiled toilet and the sweeet kitchen. It's going to be cool. Cant wait.
3 more days before school starts. And realisation that all my friends won't be in the same school, just downed on me. Yes, I'm really slow. I will see how "fun" JC life can be in 3 days.
Mum's coming back tomorrow!! WHEEZ!

"We shouldn't even be here, but we are. It's like the great stories. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. Sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. After so much bad had happened. But in the end, its only a passing thing, the shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine the clearer. These were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why... Folks in those stories had lots of chances of turning back. Only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. That there is some good in this world. And it is worth fighting for..."
-Samwise Gamgee; Lord of the Rings (the movie)
Can this even be true in modern day context?
Can it possibly happen, when I don't even know who to trust.
Yet, I know that if I can't trust anyone, anyone at all. I will have to trust myself, I will have to trust God.
How I wish this world work in a simpler way...
