2008... A year of great hopes and happiness

Today is the birth of 2008! Another year has gone by and always hoping for a better year ahead of all of us... before i continue uploading my Shanghai trip photos i shall recap what happened in 2007!

2007 was the year i waited for because for some obvious reasons, 1 major event which happen on 7th June is my ORD from my national service in the army which i was a little reluctant because i miss all my dogs in the camp.

I had some up and down moments with love related relationship but it showed me that there is actually alot of people whom i call great buddies that really cared for me while i was really at the pits of my life at that period of time.

My sister got married on 1st Dec and i am so happy for her and her husband that they have decided to settle down with each other and choosing each other as their life partners through thick and thin.

Some unhappy news is that i learnt recently that not only my eldest aunt is suffering from a breast tumour which we are told is luckily not spreading, and she is undergoing medication to reduce the size of the tumour so it can be operated and removed. My cousin who is only 33 years old recently told us that she has actually gone through an operation because she is suffering from breast cancer and she didn't want to tell us all because she didn't wanna ruin our holidays... her mom passed away few years back because of some illness.. we heard that my cousin's cancer is aggresive means it is spreading to parts of her body, my uncle who is a doctor said that she should not be suffering from breast cancer at her age, she's undergoing Kimotheraphy and she was suppose to have her wedding early this year but because of this she has to delay everything, she will not be able to have a child till 5 years later at least... is this a test from God to see if her fiance can hold on to the 5 years and prove that through thick and thin and sickness that he is willing to go through and be by her side for the rest of his life? I wish both of them all the best and i sincerly hope that everybody will be cured... that is my 1 and only wish i have.. for good health comes happiness

Had a great time celebrating with some of my close buddies, Zongwei, his girlfriend Sherla, Weixian, Khim Lok and Vincent... we were friends since young and always been going out and playing basketball together often. Starting i met up with Zongwei, Vincent and Weixian, we went to Cuppage and have a few rounds of pool which i almost killed Weixian when he was standing right infront of me and i accidently hit the ball too hard and it chipped over and flew towards him hitting him in the "you know where" haha we all could not stop laughing afterwards.. After 9pm we went to meet up with Zongwei's girlfriend Sherla as she finish her work and we headed to have a great meal together. After our dinner we headed to Esplanade and went to Vincent's former working place at a bar beside Harry's and we were given tables straight away by his manager... and we ordered beer and cocktails to await for the countdown to 2008 and the magnificent fireworks display. Weixian ordered a cocktail "grasshopper" which he waited since 2007, 1130pm till 2008, 1215am.. he was kinda pissed off for waiting for his drinks because the waiteress were all busy watching the fireworks and nobody cared about serving the drinks.. what poor service they have.. when the waiteress and waiters walk pass, Wei xian would tell them to please hurry up with his drink and said he waited for 1 year to pass and his drink is not served to him yet! lol... after that we headed opposite to Marina to catch AVP2 which was a very very disappointing movie... i will not comment much about the movie as different people have different views and taste.. but it surely was a great disappointment for me because after watching AVP part 1 which i find was actually quite good... guess the expectation didn't live up to the hype for me..
