Waves of thoughts

woah! miss my blog..havent penned down my dos and thoughts for a while now....
The past month has been pretty much a roller coaster month...
But whatever it is...im glad I survived...and am surviving well ! =)
December...a month filled with many thoughts and reflections....not just because its the end of the year...but because...its my birthday month!!! I have lived for 26 years now! Woah...unbelievable how Im in my LATE 20s now! seriously..this is extremely scary! I still feel like a little girl, though in these past 6 months..I have been put on an extremely steep growing up curve....
Out of all the 6 months in HK, I would say this December month is one of the months which I feel the most homesick n slightly depressed. Wth the holiday season here, the blings and tings of the christmas decors, christmas carols playing all ard and everyone living in la-la land (no one was in any working mood)...it makes me miss my friends and family a lot. Nothing beats having fun banters and chats over a nice cosy meal with your loved ones. Hai, almost wanted to just buy a ticket and fly home!
But thank God, He has put people in my life this whole period to walk me through this hard month. Had a flurry of activities admist the tinge of sadness this Christmas season...

Lazy to write too much....Let the pictures do the talking!

One of the Highlights of the month...

I received a bdae pressie from Singapura..

A Mermaid puzzle....nicely pieced together by my dearest

sisters...air flown in SQ to Reading Place!

Was really touched by it...=)

Macau

Visited Joyce and Stephen, my ex DT coleagues in Macau!

They are working @ the Venetian!
Was realy nice of them to bring me ard for 2 days!!!

Verdict on Macau:

Its BORING!!! nothing but gamblings and gamblings....

Will only go there again to visit Joyce and Stephen...

definitely nt the place!

N stayed over at JOyce's place...

Look at how BIG the flats in Macau are!!

its 1000 sq feet...

my bird cage is only 400 sq feet!

With some JPMers for dinner @ a korean restaurant!

Yummy!

They got me a cakey for my bdae! How sweet!

Went to Lamma to cycle! ended up pushing the bike

most of the time cos the slopes were sooo steep!

house in Tai O..we peered thru the windows and saw his

bicycle and toy gun! hahaa

Prawn paste in the making....

An old man leisurely fishing in the dusk

I actually went to JAY CHOU's concert!!!

But it was pretty much a disappointment...stage was overly

simple and i could not hear his voice half the time!!

The music was overpowering....and taking into consideration

his mumblings...made it all worse.....

I rather enjoy his music on MP3...
