don't really know why, but i wasn't really into the whole CNY mood this year; wasn't feeling particularly happy also. all this visitation and travelling to and fro from one place to another is really sapping me of my energy. each night we reach home at close to 12 midnight and i'd be so dead tired; my eyes are practically closed and i have to drag myself around. getting old i think. somehow .. i dunno .. things feel different this year; i guess the things we go through really do change our perception of life.

just came back from one of my jc good friends' house; he had his 21st birthday today and it was a small scale event with his ex jc class ppl and some of his closer friends. i haven't seen him in quite awhile cause he had to stay in camp during weekdays and all, so we weren't as close as we had been in jc. even though i've made a bunch of new but good friends in church, they somehow are different from the old ones i had. the sense of familiarity is there even thought i haven seen my friend in months. the quiet understanding that we share. i've come to realise that buying a birthday present for someone is a test of how well you know that person. i went to town today, knowing exactly what to get for him; a total of 3 different options which i knew would all bring a smile on his face. got him a sony ericsson bluetooth headset which was suppose to cost $198, but thankfully, we managed to get it at $162. but the money paid was definitely worth it, especially when we saw the shock and joy it brought to his face. i felt super happy there and then. his wide open mouth and shocked happy face literally made my day. happy 21st birthday bro.

wj: no .. ang pow collection not really alot. din blog mainly cause i've been really tired these few days. oh and regarding your blog, the part about you and lyn not being as close as before? well .. i can understand what you gals are going through. i'm going through it myself. yes .. its sad isn't it? almost to the point of being tragic ...
