281. Recap the past 2 weeks
12th Dec (Monday)
It's Chuang's B'day tomorrow. So we had dinner at Mr Ho's. It's my first time there and I gotta say, the food is good. I like it. I think it's because of the fact that they serve lotsa pork and sausages on the menu. It was all good. After dinner, it was time to reveal the presents. Chuwy, Seok Hong and I got him a photo album, while his wife got him a PSP! Yup! A playstation portable! :) I wonder if she realises the repercussions ;)
14th Dec (Wednesday)
Finally done with everything, it's time for Ando San and Yasumoto San to leave us. I took the day off so that can take them shopping and all. Went over to gurney plaza and we bought them each a pewter souvenier and then over to One Stop for DVD shopping. After tea, we headed to the airport for dinner at the infamous Sg Tiram Seafood porridge.
As with Tsuiki, it was a simple send off for them and that's the end of that "adventure". Really happy that my car is back to "normal".

15th Dec (Thursday)
Tomorrow is my birthday! Gosh, I'm getting old :P Anyway, so tonite, Wee, Seng, Ai Fen, Lorna and I will be heading over to Soho to celebrate! Hmmm, this will be interesting. Somehow, not too looking forward to this b'day. The celebration was nice and quiet.

16th Dec (Friday)
Woo Hoo! It's my birthday! Didn't feel that great at all. Well, my office server crashed this morning and the rest of the day was spent doing damage control. This is a mission critical server, so we need to get this up and running pronto. There goes my plan to take it easy today. Hope I'm not gonna be late for my pizza party at home.
Chuwy, Seok Hong, Sophia, Sean, Chuang and Niki came over at 9pm. Seng, Ai Fen & Ruyi was also around but left coz Ruyi had to sleep by 9ish. Wee couldn't make it coz he's still stuck in office and Raine had another thingy going on. Chuwy brought a video clip of Sophia's graduation celebration where she danced and all. Talk about proud father :D

Chuwy & gang & cake #2
After they left, went over to meet the rest of the gang at Grand Bay.
While at Grand Bay - Anthony & Jack, Jack taking aim
Didn't stay too long coz I still have to worry about the server.
Chong and Hiromi are finally officially married today after all the red tape because she's a foreigner.
17th Dec (Saturday)
Finally got 2 terminals up and running. That should buy me some time :) After work, went to Gurney plaza and Midlands with Yew Peng and Tomoko. Will be meeting the guys for dinner at Golden BBQ steamboat near Swatow Lane, opposite Continental Bakery. After stuffing ourselves silly, Anthony brought out the cake! Gosh, it's a cake of a football field complete with players and ref. I even received a birthday gift from the management in the form a a key chain. :) With the cake, comes the usual birthday song and wish. Then comes "smash the birthday boy's face in the cake" thingy. I had to pull the candle from the cake without using my hands. Guess I was too fast for any of them. I got away clean, hey, after so many birthday celebrations, one has to develope one of 2 skills, lightning quick candle pull outs or cleaning cake off face ;)

Accepting a customary birthday egg from Lai
We adjourned once again to Grand bay to further the celebrations! Finally left at about 3am. That was interesting.
Got this neat little gadget as a b'day gift from Seng, Fen, Wee and Raine. It's a MP3 player that transmits through radio frequency. You just plug it into your car cigarette lighter and switch on your radio. Kinky!

18th Dec (Sunday)
It's Tening's B'day today! Ahh, it's nice to have company :D Well, went over to the office with Wee to sort out the server issue. Didn't do much, just head over to Gurney Plaza after that and back home.
21st Dec (Wednesday)
Today was the usual day except that I attended an anger management class. Just something that I thought I'll take for the fun of it. Turns out to be quite interesting. Basically this is an introductionary class. It starts off with finding out if you have any external stressors that my cause you to be potentially emotionally "disturbed". Have you encountered any of the following situations in the past 12mths: A divorce, parent's divorce, partner cheating on you, best friend betraying you, threatened at work, and so on and so forth. Each situation is assigned a value. At the end of the day, you add up all the points and you get a total. below 30pts, you have no external stressors and you may leave the class. 31 to 60pts, you have mild stressors, 61pts and above, you definitely need to stay for this class. Guess what, my grand total was 230pts! No kidding! I scared myself too. See, I have a good excuse to act the way I do. I'm psychologically unstable! And the worse part is, the good doctor said that these are only external factors, there are internal ones to consider. But that requires regressing into my childhood. :P
Well, overall I learnt quite a bit, but to get further, I'll need to attend one on one sessions with him to understand and resolve my anger :P In other words, here, gimme your wallet and lie down on this couch.
Well, one interesting thought he shared, "Having expectations are ok, insistance on the expectations being met is the problem."
22nd Dec (Thursday)
Watched King Kong tonite. This show is bringing up my anger! :) Guess my expectations were a bit too high. Dunno what to think of it. Here's what I got from the show.
"Girl meets guy, girl crazy for guy, girl sacrificed to monkey, guy hunts monkey to save girl, girl falls for monkey, monkey falls for girl, guy desappointed he lost to monkey, guy realises he still likes girl, goes after girl again, this time monkey dies, girl "settles" for guy?????"
What the hell? Did I miss something here? I say, if girl likes monkey, then let her be, she probably don't deserve men!
Hey, I'm not sexist ok, I mean, if guy likes car, then leave him be, he probably don't deserve girl!
