say hello to a new year.
firstly, i hope everyone had a good christmas weekend. the new year is about to begin. made any new year resolutions yet? i understand that it can be really hard to give up your vices and be a changed person but somehow we’ve all got to try. funny how time can seem like a blessing sometimes but also an irritant. and since i’m writing this while i’m at work, time is boring me. haha.
i wasn’t looking forward to my holiday trip to szechuan, china because it’s presently winter (brrr) and the only highlight of the trip would be the scenery. but i guess the trip wasn’t that bad afterall. the scenery was of course good and thankfully the weather wasn’t a killer too. my holiday in beijing two years ago was worse. this time i only fell sick on the last day and had minor cold rash. the food there is, as everyone knows, dirt cheap. unfortunately there wasn’t much to buy. mainly winter clothing etc. i got some szechuan beef jerky though. haha. there were a few funny things that happened though. during one of the nights at some crappy mountainous hotel, we experienced two blackouts. the hotel management must have forgotten to pay the bills on time. lol. the morning calls were pretty hilarious as well. one of the morning call messages went like this: “hello! it is time for you to get up!” i couldn’t help but laugh when i heard that at 630 a.m. in the morning even though i was dead sleepy.
the exams are finally arriving. i have to do well.. i have to do well.. ha.
lastly, happy new year! let 2006 bring us more unforgettable moments and experiences. :)
