My memory is failing me. I can barely remember time these days. Perhaps it is the preparation of NOT Chinese New Year, but for my oral exams that have me living in seclusion these days.
Was back at my parents' place on Friday with a friend along. Was actually suppose to meet this friend who had came back from overseas for dinner. But my mum 'conveniently' forgot to inform me of the early reunion dinner.
Anyway, it went on well. It was nice to see my friend after 6 (7?) years but we have to break off the conversation as I had to get off the train first.

What's on for CNY over the next few days?
Hmm, from the looks of it... I should STILL be buried under my notes. I am back on my unearthly hours timings again. Yes I am typing away on the first day of CNY at an unearthly 3.30am. Nothing to do with tradition of 'shou ye', but it suits my fitness for studies. My peak hours last from 2000 onwards until my shut-eye timings (which is whatever... pending on the next day's schedule) :P
Daytime would mean crawling out at 10-11am... IE to say I will miss my breakfast... Go for brunch and last till dinner and then snacks into the midnight hours. *Burpz*
I should be out more often, lest I end up extinct like the do-do. *chuckles* But CNY in SG is.... a drag. I was on leave last year, but I made my way out of SG way before CNY and had my CNY alone in Bangkok, walking down Yaowarwat amid the sea of red shirt-clad Thais on this festive day.

CNY out of the way, now I have sit down and think for V-day... yes yes... this editor has to DO something about his single status hood, you know?!

So much for today. I wish all my readers out there Huat Huat and Huat... but while amidst the merry making, do spare some $$$ or time or kum or kind to the less unfortunate in SG.
