BAD NIGHT
Had problem sleeping last night...u know how we toss n turn at night w/o our really being aware of it? Well, my incredible stiff neck made sure I dun forget its existence even when I am sleeping...
I normally sleep sideways but becoz of my neck I slept flat down, head face upwards...but when I tried to move my head on the pillow at night...it just wont move...end up I hv to use my hand to turn my head...and the movement caused pain too. It also took an effort to get up from bed jus now...gosh, this is just a torture!

ATTACK OF THE SUPER STIFF NECK
I was initially looking forward to meeting frens for steamboat tonight but super suay....gena attack of the super stiff neck!
Either I woke up on the wrong side of the bed or tat I am indeed heaty (as proclaimed by my mum), but I seemed to have a twisted neck that cannot be turn (any ways!)...and every movement puts a strain at the back of my neck all the way down to my shoulders!
"PAIN" is the only word to describe the day...by afternoon, my condition has worsened such that an effort to stand up from a chair would require a hand supporting my head by the chin to enable me to stand up w/o straining my neck...haiz...suay suay double suay.
Then my parents came back n asked if I wana go swimming w Charmaine....IN MY CONDITION!!!!!....wat were they thinking??? I might just drown coz I cant move my head up to catch my breath...think I was a bit nasty when I told my mum no...but who would be in a good mood anyway in this kind of condition?!!!
So, I ended up cancelling the steamboat appt and went to bed from 6pm to 9pm...coz by 6pm, it takes an effort to just support my head upright...sob sob....its still painful now....

BLOG - AN ANGER OUTLET???
Before I started a blog myself, I never knew wat "blog" means. Being an almost complete IT idiot, I have no idea how to surf and read others' blogs, much less, how to start one.
So, I started by treating this as a diary to write down events and things in my life. Of course, in the process, some of my frens might be bored by the mundane things mentioned coz my life is not tat interesting/happening anyway. But being my good frens, I guessed u all have endured reading my entries anyway.
Recently, I read some other blogs and realised tat some can be really forward and daring to put their views n opinions in their blogs. Some even vented their pent-up anger by writing some harsh words towards pple. Do these bloggers really want the objects of their anger to see their blogs n feel guilty? But I wonder, is this wat blog is really meant for? A channel to vent anger? I guess this is a debatable point...of coz, I do not hv the answer myself....but I do hope tat I will not do tat in future no matter how upset I am. In my opinion, blog is a space where we "share" thoughts and views, and probably watever is happening in our lives...so I do hope that my frens will hv a good time reading my blog :)

MID-WEEK, MIXED FEELINGS???
Was supposed to meet my Xiao Meis for dinner n games at Pitstop cafe but ended up being fly kite by 2 of them. However, I am not angry w them coz they got valid reason. Luckily, Zhenwei did meet me n we ended up gg to Pitstop anyway.
We played Modern Art with Timo n Mumu but I think Zhenwei dun really like the game. So sadz...I still lost to Timo, who won the game...guess Amrita would hv won if she's ard...keke! We chatted a bit while playing the games and we were all like old frens n it hits me tat its strange how complete strangers can get to know each other thru a few rounds of games. As there was some lively discussion (one of which was our guessing if Timo n Mumu is a couple...), we ended up not finishing the 2nd game, which I forgot the name..."Dividend" or something.
My after-thought was tat "How good it is to be young!"...at the time of life where doubts, suspicions, lies & motives are non-existent...wat a great world this would be if all pple have tat bit of innocence in them left...sadly, the test of time will likely to erase our innocence and kill our trusts in other human...this is the reality and the true facts of life!

TRUST UR INSTINCTS
Hv u ever felt that something ominous is imminent but yet could not point a finger at the exact thing? Hv u ever felt tat u know someone but yet there is something oddly unfamiliar abt tat person? Or that there is just something wrong w tat person but yet u cannot pinpoint in which area?
Well, call it woman's instinct or sixth sense...it is just our mind's way of telling us the signs/hints that we have seen but yet have not taken extra note abt. Whatever it is, it might be a good idea to take note of these danger signs next time u discovered their existence.
Dun let things happen then u start thinking: "Oh, I knew something bad was gg to happen" or "Hmm, I knew there was something odd abt tat guy"

GAME OF MODERN ART
I played this board game at Pitstop Cafe last week w Amrita and 2 of the owners there: Timo n Mumu. It was a fun game of bidding and auctioning of art pieces in order to earn the most amount of money. Interesting thing is tat, I found tat this game actually helps to train various skills: negotiation, investment, observation, communication, etc.
We had a good time at the game w Amrita emerging as the top scorer...Timo, how could u hv lost since u shld know the game better than first timers? Keke...

RECAP ON THE WEEKEND (11-12 FEB)
Nothing much happened during the weekend tat just passed except tat I "fly Dan's kite" on Sat n he got pretty angry w me. Dun know wat came over me but I was in a really really sianz mood on Sat...totally no mood to step out of the house, not to mention to meet up w strangers in his house (coz he invited all his colleagues). So, I expected his outburst so just asked Jean to pass him the msg tat I am not gg. But cannot escape the fate I guess...he called up n started grumbling n in short, we end the conversation in a very unhappy note. Sigh, aiyah dunno lah...hopefully this matter will be forgotten soon.
So, my whole weekend is again spent at home playing games. But I did stop the game to play w Charmaine on Sun, plus went to the hospital to visit my grandma who is hospitalized due to a fall. Tats abt it...

LETHARGIC
Havent been updating my blog regularly recently. I was kinda shocked to noticed tat it has been a week since my last entry. The past week has been pretty uneventful with me doing the same things such as working, playing game and sleeping. In fact I got much more sleep this past week coz my bro keep chasing me off to bed early n refused to let me play my maplestory. Strange thing is tat, even though I get more sleep, I seemed to be feeling more lethargic than ever. Couldnt keep my spirits up to do anything and have the continuous feeling of being tired and sleepy. Its not the same feeling as when I just feel sleepy from reading all the work related case files...sigh, difficult to explain...anyway, was hoping my energy will return as the weekend draws nearer...gg to hv dinner w Su later...and got appt on sat to go to Dan's place. Something to do other than sitting in front of the PC, I guess...

CHINESE NEW YEAR - RECAP
Been a bit lazy the past few days to update my blog on my CNY events...or maybe I shld say I am too busy mapling...keke!
This will be a long recap posting, so please bear w me k. ;)
Lets start from CNY eve, 28 Jan:
As per my previous entry, I did my packing which was exceptionally fast coz I only chucked the things away from sight (chuckle). Was playing maplestory (as expected) after tat until Auntie came with Sheng n Yanling. Then in fact, I let Sheng play a bit of maplestory n he seems to like it too. We started dinner when after Bro, Sis-in-law and Charmaine came. As it was also Yanling's birthday, we had a cake n sang song for her. After dinner, its was TV time n playing w Charmaine. When they finally all left, my 2nd bro and I started mapling again until late at night..hahaha...
1st Day of CNY, 29 Jan:
Went to Grandma's (Dad's side) place this morning at abt 11am plus. Took the bus w my 2nd bro while the others went by car. We actually went up the wrong block and was confused if we had the right address...haha...so sotong! It was boring there save for the highlight which is of coz - Charmaine! She was really cute dressed in red and had 2 small buns on her head like Chunli in the Streetfighter game. The rest of my relatives gambled a little blackjack while my 2nd bro n I played Scrabble. Weird I know but we had to have something to pass time k. We returned home quite early tat day, abt 3pm plus. And needless to say, more mapling till late at night.
2nd Day of CNY, 30 Jan:
Woke up early tat day and had the urge to play maplestory again. So had an early shower n dressed properly before settling down in front of the PC to play. Waking up my 2nd bro in the process as the PC is in his room...keke. We went over to Grandma's place (Mum's side) also abt 11am plus. Took a cab w Mum, Dad n 2nd bro this time coz the car is still w my eldest bro. It was awfully quiet there as only Auntie's family n ours was there. Seemed like reunion day except my grandma and her maid was there. Oh yah, jus remembered an awful thing: Charmaine SLAPPED me today...continuously some more...while I was carrying her! So sad, think it started from 2nd bro telling her to beat "Gu Gu" (auntie in chinese) and she started raising her fist at me...then came the multiple slaps....sob sob....
We gambled blackjack a bit after lunch n this time I joined in as the players were sadly few. Eldest bro w sis-in-law n Charmaine soon after tat. And the rest of us returned home quite early at abt 3pm plus again, save for Mum who stayed there w Auntie. Then, I played maplestory at home while waiting for Kim's plan abt whether to meet up tat night. I ended up flying her kite when my eldest bro dropped by in the evening saying tat they had no other places to go n therefore packed dinner for us. So, it was playing w Charmaine n more blackjack time tat night.
3rd Day of CNY, 31 Jan:
Woke up really late at noon, think I played games till too late the previous night. But who cares, I continued mapling again. And got scolded by Kim again when she called up n asked if I wana go out. As norm, I din want to coz I am really quite addicted to the game...then she said I have no life lor...hahaha...which is partly true lah...but I did stop playing when eldest bro came over again for dinner. Been seeing a lot of Charmaine lately and again she started beating me up....sob sob! When is she gg to stop tat?
Ok, tats abt all tat happened during my CNY..boring right? Not really tat bad, it was entertaining to play game and just laze the holiday away. I din collect much ang pows this year but then I guess it doesnt really matter as u grow up. Won a little bit at gambling blackjack this year, hope tat my luck stays. Have taken quite a bit of photos (mainly Charmaine) which I will be shortlisting and posting into this blog soon....so watch out for it!
