My life outside of work is in a mess. i have so many things on backlog. i can't finish my cross stitch in time for my baby cousin's first month. Then all the videos i downloaded are waiting to be watched. The Andy Lau VCD i bought, the xmas photos i have to upload. The room i have to clean up, the places i have to plan to go in TW. Argh... Leave you all with one xmas photo first... i'll slowly upload the rest...
PS : picgallery sux! Dare to tell me my account expired and tell me to subscribe to a premium one. BS. Now i can't view my old photos and i can't upload new ones. Damn it. People, please recommend better, free and more generous photo storage websites. Thanks.

Merry Xmas! This is the Xmas which i got so many presents. And also of cos gave many as well. i'm lazy to list out what i've gotten but i can say is, my colleagues like the gift i got. Even someone from another department asked where i bought it. What can i say, i'm not those kind to give chocolates on every other occassion. By the way, that's the number 1 gift that everyone does not want for Christmas, and yet i receive like 5 of them. But it's better than receiving 2 boxes of condoms during company gift exchange. The poor girl who picked that. But later got kind guy exchanged with her. i didn't managed to evesdrop who exactly bought those condoms.
Friday was fun. My manager treated us to buffet dinner at Safra Tampines. Our team comprises of people working for the Taiwan, Malaysia and Thailand market. Food sux, not worth the $30. What was fun was the photo taking session and all the crapping. We practically laugh until cheeks very tired and everyone was in a not so sound state of mind. Ok, maybe the TW team alone cos we got alot of people. i've not enjoy myself with a large group of people since... god, long time ago. Then later we TW team continued with a KTV session...
Argh, i got headache. i shall continue tomorrow.

On my dear friend Lizi's birthday (4 Dec), my grandma excitedly called my mum to announce that my aunt gave birth to a baby girl. My dear little baby cousin... Her arrival added alot of excitement cos my mum's side haven't had a new baby for a long time since... yup, you get the idea. So that evening we went to Mount E to visit my aunt, erm, ok to see the baby lar. Heez. She's so tiny... about 2 kg plus. Cos she came out about 3 weeks earlier, but everything's fine with her and my aunt had a smooth delivery. But i love baby girls, so i'm gonna dote on this cousin quite alot, since my aunt treat me not bad. Heh.
For those who know, i'm doing this cross stitch for her, and with her coming out 3 weeks earlier, my plan of finishing it on time for her 1st month birthday is brought forward. So now i'm like rushing through it like mad. i only have 3 weeks left and still must take into consideration that i need to send it to the framer there to frame it. Gosh.
Anyway, today, my aunt was asking my mum for suggestions and thoughts for the baby Chinese name cos my family is like the most cheena family alive. Haha... So initially she was thinking of 吴仪宣。Woo, my 仪 leh, not bad. But i didn't like the 宣, not unique. So i suggest can change to 萱 or ?。Then my dad heard the name and say maybe not so good cos of slant pronouciation mean something funny. So i suggest a name : 吴锶芸 Not that i like the 锶 alot, but cos apparently my cousin lacks the 金，水 and 木 elements, so choose this 锶。If not, i will use ?。Difficult to choose name, then somemore surname is 吴, which makes things not any easier. Then my aunt don't want complicated characters also. Aiyoh... Anyway, i think we'll be making a trip down to the house to help them choose. And i'll take pictures for all to see. i took with my phone liao. Heh.
What you guys think of the name that i thought?

23rd SEA Games Medal Tally
Gold 42
Silver 32
Bronze 55
With a potential 6 days off from work during CNY, my family is planning to avoid all the visiting by going overseas. Muahaha. But problem is, go where? Possible choice is Taiwan, even though it might be 7 degrees. And my parents are not keen on a free & easy trip cos they think Taipei not so easy to walk around. Diaoz, many of you out there also walked around Taipei on your own mah. Yes, Char, can tell me the name of the hotel you stayed the other time? Thanks ah.
Actually i'm more keen on New Zealand, cos never go before mah. And after visiting 2 cities just in May, i feel like getting away from the city and just go sightseeing. But all the tour packages for New Zealand is quite expensive and given CNY, who don't mark up price is an idiot, so... Hai~ don't know lar, i just don't want to stay in S'pore. Australia not so possible cos my family is sick of Aussie even though i is very the tempted to watch tennis over at Melbourne. Tomorrow go the travel agencies and see how lar.
