things that made 2006

all this is quite overdue.. but since I sorrta still have the time.. might as well reminisce..

1. preparation for sis wedding
im dun call myself the setimentalist for no good reason, cos it feels really good to return to singapore and meet back with my second sis to celebrate such a joyous event such as my sister's wedding. =) it was nice to see the house so riotous and noisy again =)

2. dsta obs
one of the fun-nest periods of my life, including the time after obs where we went cable-skiing, overnight cycling, more sailing, k box and the works.. enjoy sg to the fullest the months leading to my departure to US.. thanks guys!

3. the sending off
i was really touched. that was one of the kindest, nicest gestures for all of you to traipse down to Changi in the early morning of national day to send me off. and the gifts! haha.. will always treasure them (even the finished Godiva chocs.. lol)

4. living the dream - the various NYC trips
NYC's the stuff dreams are made of, and just visiting all the oft-heard places from movies and so on.. brings a tinge of reality into the shows and books that I've read..

5. the NYJC stint
invaluable teaching experience, had real fun tasting what life was as a teacher, marking papers, trying to be strict to students, err.. well.. i felt reasonably accomplished i hope.. lol

6. snowing!!!
years of lost childhood was substituted with the magical, bewitching, beautiful snow-storm that transformed Cornell into the magnificent white winter magick-land. =) and the snow fights.. haha!

well. that's abt it for now.. haha.. aniwez i've given up on resolutions as it is.. cos it's always the same ole things.. hmmz.. sigh.. sometimes i think the core of me is so damned insecure.. but well.. i'm improving (hopefully) =)
