This is going to be the last blog of this Chinese New Year special and since I have six more photographs to share, let’s make it worthwhile.
It’s been a while since I have slept more than six hours. Weeks, perhaps. No wonder I was so exhausted. My colleague once told me that I looked so tired with eye bags and all. The nine hours of sleep surely did me good.
Thought I would spent New Year on my own but my friend TK called me up for movie. Not only that, he wanted to visit me some more! Lucky I have some oranges in my frig. It is a custom in Singapore that the visitors during Chinese New Year bring along two oranges and the host will then give out two of his oranges in return. Something like passing the gold around.
Next, my friend and I headed off to Orchard to watch Bayside Shakedown 2 – a Japanese movie supposed to be a big hit back in Japan. The scene in Orchard? Full of couples and young girls – don’t they need to do the Chinese tradition and spend time with relatives? Interesting scene – so full of youngsters.
The movie Bayside Shakedown is interesting. I thought it would be some kind of mindless action film that is for the lighthearted. Not so. Although I have to say that when the Japanese police force refer to US Army best practice on the two organization – hierarchy and flat – it sounded more like a terrorist organization structure to me. Rely on the individual intuition and need not to obey order.
My friend an I celebrated New Year at Lawry’s. Spent S$90 each but it was worth it. The steak was so good. It was not the first time I dined at Lawry’s and it won’t be the last. During dinner, I was convinced by my friend to test drive new cars. Bad friend I have.
How then to end this New Year celebration without Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC). This time round the group was fun. I am moving to World of Warcraft (another MMORPG) soon and I am sure I will miss DAoC and all the friends I have made.
Tomorrow my wife will be back and my life will be back to normal. Tomorrow …
