I just realised that I am updating less, and will need to pick up the habit of typing again. After all, this is the 5th year of my blog, and I would not want it to die before it reaches ten years old right ? I think a month without updates qualify as dead, so I definitely need to ensure it does not happen.

So what has happened in the past 3 weeks or so ?

Well firstly of course, there was much excitement about moving to the new office. Spent the week cleaning up my table space and also had a lot of fun watching my colleagues clear 10 years of stuff. There were old photos of ex girlfriends, bills from ten years ago, as well as office memorabilia of all ages ! They also managed to collect between them 4 kilogrammes of coins. It is amazing how much rubbish one can collect.


Then on Friday the 11th, I believe it was GAJoe's wedding. Some of us squeezed into a taxi and went to Whampoa, where the wedding was being held. It was very disappointing not to have mahjong tables at the wedding, but we had fun and took some photos. The great thing was having most of the HK IGs all together in one place. Have not seen them all together for a long time ! It brought back a lot of memories and we could not stop talking about a lot of things.


That weekend also saw the trio of IzyBear, SLBear and StephBear come to HK for a short visit. Was amazed at how much sleep the youngsters needed, and also their method of vacationing. I remember I had to go to the office to try out the new machines and it was great fun, taking photos and all before going over to play 2 hours of tennis at Victoria Gardens again. We then played mahjong for a few hours before FredBear and I picked up the trio and went to ShamTseng for a roast goose dinner and the customary mango desserts !


The weekend after that was mostly spent playing with the Wii, fixing it on Saturday...taking it to the shop, replacing parts and programmes, and then going back to have dinner with JanBear and JeffBear. The next day, MRTam and I went back to the arcade, where we played some games (the arcade has always held a lot of mysteries to me, having never spent much time there in my youth) until FredBear was home. He was testing out all the new games that he had bought for the Wii of course, and we tried them out later as well. We met up with GABish for GenkiSushi before more Wii. I was dead tired that Sunday night, and luckily only had to work for two days.


The reason was because I was one of the IGs picked for exemplary performance, and was flown back to KL to give a speech to the new batch of IGs, of which SharBear and KeiBear were part of. There was also a question and answer session as well, and brought back loads of memories as we always had a lot of questions to which noone really had the answer to. Those three days in KL were ridiculously short, mainly because my parents had gone to HK, so I was not spending any extra time in KL at all. Activities done in those three days include 1 short mamak gossip session, 1 shopping session at Pavillion, 1 crazy night of Bavarian Bierhaus/Social/Zouk/Bukit Bintang McDonalds, 1 visit to Scope Bukit Jalil, 1 three hour massage, 1 session of binge roti eating (2 rotis are considered bingeing for me), 1 massive karaoke session of almost 7 hours, 1 nasi lemak brunch at Bangsar, 1 teatime at BV2, and of course a ride in the limo to the airport. All in, quite a lot done I must say, but of course, did not have time to meet anyone at all apart from the colleagues.


This week it is all about the parents and the two public holidays I guess. Let me update on that later !
