Greetings from Berlin.

Today is the last day of 2009, and in fact it is the last moment of 2009, we are welcoming 2010 and I am in Berlin, capital of Germany.

There are so much things to ponder about 2009, but all the things that happen in 2009 made me a stronger person. I've been traveling lately and will be spending my new year in Berlin, in a small town Falkensee which is located in the west Berlin.

I'll update more soon and Happy new year guys. 2010 is a year full of changes and challenge. Hopefully all of us will overcome all challenge in life and learn to be a better person.

Today is Christmas Eve

I seldom post anything emotional/ unhappy in these blog mainly because after 30 years, what I would want myself to read is just those happy memories. Those memories that were sad, I would hope just to throw it down the drain and never ever wanted to remember it.

But for today, I just felt like I've been through the worst Christmas eve ever in my life.I am in the point of my life that nothing could ever cheer me up. I knew that someone out there is trying his very best to cheer me up be yet failed.

I am going through the time of my life whereby when you eat you couldn't even feel the taste of your food, when you watch a movie, no matter how fantastic the plot is it you just couldn't bear to watch another minute more. Even my favorite thing to spent time onlining browsing through all the online shopping cloths could not cheer me up. I don't know what the hell had happen to me and I really don't feel like spending my last few days of 2009 in this manner.

Oh well, everything has an exception. This is the first exception that this piece of feeling I will be reading 50 years later and I would just remember the worst Christmas eve of 2009.

That's Part I of my Birthday and here's part II


First of all I would like to apologize for the sparse update here. So today I'll be talking about the party part.

So it was a small little party held very much earlier than the exact date. My birthday was on the 10th of Dec but because initially there was HOW on the 13th so it was brought forward on the 6th Dec which was the exact day when my dad celebrate his birthday.

Because  there is no venue and it's freaking winter so it is not suitable to have it in the common hall, it is such a torture to eat and freeze at the same time. So for this year I cut down the amount of guest. I just invited my group mates and their spouse, but it was fun enough. Why? cox my group mates are a bunch of amazing people. They can argue debate over the stupidest thing on earth, but it was hilarious.

Sneak peak of the food:

Chicken Satay that I made. Of course it is not as nice as the one you get in Malaysia


Nasi Impit going together with the kuah Kacang and cucumber.



All the other food: Stewed duck by Jesse and KW, Fried chicken by Adrian, Apple pie by Pappathy, "Ribena" by Jeffrey, Spicy stew pork by Sook Yin and WJ, Mutton curry by Joyce and SH and Satay by me and JU.
Thanks everyone for the effort cooking,

So after dinner we played some games. This is one of the "pak chi" games that we played often in our parties.
Here's everyone writing some punishment. Punishment can range from pole dancing with the fan till .... whatever that you can think of.



Here's how the game goes. Everyone was give one poker card , once you open the card you should place it on your head. The whole intention is to cheat your opponents so that they believe you that they got the smallest number and they will add cards.
The guy who got the smallest number will be punished.
for example if you got a 1 and you add a card and got a K that means you are still the smallest among the bunch. K = 0 that means your number still 1.
Get the picture?

Then we continue till around 10 pm, everyone with a bloated stomach went back because the 2nd day we still have OnG cycle.

So, that was my Last Birthday celebration in Ukraine and it will be a memory for life.

Little update for you guys.

Many things had happen lately but the best part is I am old.wtf

First of all and also the main reason I am sitting here so free typing this blog is because HOW workshop was canceled AGAIN. Initially it was supposed to be on the 23 of Nov . Then, due to H1N1, it was postponed till 13th of Dec. Yesterday I was still thinking about any possible situation that will happen tomorrow e.g: The projector burned half way, suddenly the lecture hall ran out of electricity, the whole building collapse, snowstorm tomorrow etc , but never ever ever think that it will be canceled AGAIN.

I thought, I can quit once and for all after 13th of Dec but now... it will continue to haunt me for the rest of my life wtf. You can't imagine how stressful to handle this and how many sleepless night I spent just to prepare the best on this particular day, and not to mention how to prepare myself mentally to cope with all the critics I will received, and all this will just continue to haunt me until god knows when.

Okay enough of rants

I celebrated my birthday. There were no big big celebration though it was my last birthday here but it was sweet and I am happy. Here are some pictures to share.
