HOORAY!!!

A Feast For Crows is finally done! Well, sort of.

Now all that's left is for me to go and get the stuff from my favourite bookstore. :) Or if you're reading this and wondering what to get me for Christmas, A Feast For Crows and (hopefully it's done by then) A Dance With Dragons are pretty high on my Christmas wish list. Though I probably can't wait that long. Heh. :P

But now I realize that since it's been so long, I'll probably want to re-read everything from the beginning to reacquaint myself with the lovely characters from the series.

(George is saying that he'll probably need seven(!) books to finish the story now. Hopefully it wouldn't take him as long to finish the next few books).

Unexpected Nugget of Wisdom

Me: "Wah... How come your smile so big?"

Some Guy: "Smile need to work, don't smile also need to work. Then smile, lah! Don't stress yourself, be happy!"

Heh.

It's been a while...

since I wrote in this blog. Work's been keeping me busy, and, well, I guess there really wasn't all that much to write about. (Unless, of course, you've enjoyed reading my complaints about stupid bosses, inconsiderate colleagues, etc.).

Anyways, what've I been doing during this hiatus (yes, yes, besides work)?

Well, I ran into Rex, an old friend of mine from high school, whom I haven't seen for 7 years(!).

I was involved in a theatre production as Assistant Stage Manager.

I've also moved into my new apartment in just-off-the heart of town. This place is awesome. It's a four-storey walkup, and we live on the top floor. And now I have a balcony again! (I love balconies, obviously). And the rental on this place is surprisingly reasonable, too!

I've renewed my contract with the company, and gotten a pay raise. Still waiting to be converted to perm, though. But I think I'll stay with this company for a while yet. So many things to learn still.

I'm also helping Amanda out with her choir for the Vatican Expo. It's tiring and consumes most of my weekend, but fun.

And I think something that's unexpected, yet pleasant, might be happening in my life. I don't know whether or not it's for real yet, but I sure am hoping. ;)

Oooh, ooh, ooh! I almost forgot! Neil Gaiman was in Singapore and I got three books signed! I even shook his hand! Heh. Thanks Gill! Thanks Stef! :D

Gill and me actually gave him gifts (a shotglass, a bag of Famous Amos cookies and a postcard signed by the two of us and Tracy, this girl we met while queueing up for his autograph) to bring back. But he didn't mention us in his journal, though. :(

Etch-A-Sketch

etchasketch
You're an Etch-a-Sketch!! You're the creative,
artsy type who doesn't need to actually utilize
a single muscle group in order to have fun.
Doesn't matter though, you're still cool.
