Tee hee hee...

Apasal muncung tu?

Hehehe.. I found this picture when I was cleaning up my hard drive. This was during our trip to KL. See, Nils and I have pictures of each other with various facial expressions. So when we think the other is sulking, mad, or whatever, we'd send the appropriate picture to each other. Cheap thrills, and sometimes it does cheer me up. Anyway, I don't have a picture of him sulking so this is a precious addition to my cell phone. Last weekend in Vegas he got one of me which is nearly as good. It was my "fuck off" face. I don't remember why I was so mad, and beats me how he managed to snap a picture right in the middle of it.

And oh, last Friday I heard from an old friend. I haven't talked to him in ages, although we've exchanged emails a couple of times in the last few years. Good to hear you're doing well, Joe! And it was absolutely wonderful to catch up. Do come and visit me when you and Lisa are settled in HK ok my dear?

Happy New Year!

2006 was a good year for me - quite possibly the best year of my life so far. Recently I have this whim that my 30s will be the best years of my life. Now I have something to look forward to. And one year to prepare for it. I accidentally vowed that my life will begin in 2 years - after I graduate and move on from current job and city. It's not really a vow, because it wasn't exactly deliberate. It felt almost like finally seeing that fact, and I'm praying that I will live to see that day. It's a dangerous business, postponing your life. But I think if I enjoy the time between now and then, then it wouldn't be that bad.

Long distance relationships are not my favorite, usually because it means I'm by myself, sometimes lonely, all the time missing the other person. But these days, the thing I hate most is not being able to help Nils when he needs a hand. He's painting and unpacking all by himself. No one is helping him around the house. He had to take the ornaments off the tree, take the tree out, sweep the needles, etc.. This sucks.
