Looking back.....

I came across my horoscope prediction in this week's issue of 8 Days (14 Feb 2008):

"Take your pick between getting married, transforming your home or leading a revolution at work. Our best days for love and pure uninhibited emotion could be Thursday and Friday, when someone new might come into your life, or you see an old friend with fresh eyes."

Well, the first three did not happen, but I did see an old friend today whom I have not seen for a long time. I went to kev's recital today and saw Ame. It was good to see him. He actually left for Austria last year to study music there. I couldn't remember the name of his university. Anyway he's back for the chinese new year holidays and will be leaving next week. He still looks the same, nothing much has changed about him. The memories....

Kev's recital was not bad and he played pretty well. He appreciated our presence there. After the recital, we left for dinner at victoria hawker centre. Don't know why but I felt pretty tired during the performance and went home after dinner. Everyone seemed lethargic.

I met lyn and ris for lunch today. It was nice to see them....I pretty miss my old job. lyn looks fresh and she is going back to work soon. She just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy last dec. ris is still the same, busy as usual. As we were about to leave, she gave me and lyn a red packet! So unexpected and I didn't have mandarin oranges with me to wish her happy new year! She told me the red packet is a token to wish me good luck in my career and find a nice boyfriend soon! So sweet of her......:) I wonder how things would have turn out if I didn't leave my ex company. I will still be able to hold the same conversation with them. Well, I already made the choice and should not turn back. But I will always look out for better opportunities.

Things at the office are quite slow this week with nothing major happening but I think next week onwards might get a bit busy as I need to start writing on the next newsletter. Ag suggested we do the new issue ourselves and my boss is fine with it. We are going to revamp the newsletter!

Watched Jumper yesterday with wj. Its not as nice as expected which I thought it is from the trailer. The storyline happens rather fast without much development of the characters themselves. No harm waiting for the dvd release for those of you who intend to watch it on the big screen.

It was a normal Valentines' Day for me. Just a simple dinner and movie and somehow I started to recall what I was doing on V Day last year. I remember I was at the gym on Valentine's Day last year and a personal trainer tried to psycho me to purchase a fitness program with him, pleading that if he don't close a deal that day, he will lose his job. I thought that was rather unpleasant as he tried to make his problem seemed like mine. Anyway, I didn't sign up for the deal. He resigned a few days later and actually kept my number and tried to ask me out for a drink several times. I just kept saying I wasn't free and he stopped contacting me. These fitness trainers and sales consultants can be rather pushy sometimes....

Time to open my eyes.....
