Recently, or rather during Xmas, L and I planned to exchange gift. Due to late delivery, it was postponed till now. The gift arrived from the States on ... er think it was Saturday and alas! The day I've been waiting for is here! I got my gift for L locally, ain't there a need to wait for delivery - handpicked 2 presents. I got in the car, there was this big box waiting on the seat. Tore it and much to my delight, it's a display stand for earrings! Woo Hoo! I was thrilled as I've been wanting to get one since ages because I have too many earrings and have problems looking for certain pair of earrings to match whatever I am wearing. Now with this display stand, my earrings are neatly arranged and easy to access. Lurve it! Muchas gracias L!

What was supposedly to be a good night ended up with a rotten luck.

The night before, I managed to meet up with an old friend. My intention was just to have dinner. Since he was already out wine drinking with his mates, he asked me to join them. So I figured ok as I love wine drinking. Went to meet them at Vintry located somewhere in Damansara Heights. I had an enjoyable time, the company was hilarious, the food was good and the wine was superb. My old habit is kickin in again ... we drank 2 bottles of wine, 1 bottle of red and white. Come end of the night, I was more than just tipsy. Our gathering dispersed about 2ish and I went off in a drunken stupour to find my car. Started the engine and wheezed off towards Sprint Highway. After the Sprint Highway toll - I saw flashlights and with a sinking feelng thought to myself "Oh bloody $%^&,! Road Block! How could I have overlooked that?!". There was no way I could get out of this one as I know I drank a shit loads. My fear was confirmed when the breathaliser beeped loudly. Police asked a series of unnecessary questions eg where did I go, what did I do, what did I drink, how many glasses/bottles. He asked "Bukan pergi disco ?" I replied "Tidak, Encik". He said "Habis, pi mana?" Me: Wine shop. He said "OH. Mana bf?" Me: "Aiyoo, tak ada bf la Encik". He said "O seksi girl macam you tak ada bf?" Oh crap, is it any of his business whether I am attached or not and even if I am, am I obliged to disclose that to him ?! I am aware that I've committed a serious offence. Drunk driving is no joke so let's get on with it. After interrogation, he asked me to go back to my car. Later on, he asked "Moi dari Penang?" Me: "Ya, Encik". Then he said "Lain kali jangan buat lagi". With that he waved me off. Close call, I will definately be more prudent and careful in the future.

Year 2007. So it begins.

I surely say this every year and I will say it again - time goes by on a turmoil of speed. I could still remember clearly how 2006 begun and now it's another new series of 12 months to accost. I must say 2006 has been a satisfying year but not in every aspect of my life. I suppose I had achieved many and it was indeed a very productive year. I completed my pupillage and started 1st year practise. I got myself a car, albeit a simple one and have made many friends, some of whom even came to mean so much more to me than just mere friendship.

However, having said all that, 2006 still wasn't the best of the best. Nothing beats year 2005. I have had so much fun in more ways than one of which it is hard to pen down. Anyhow, I am looking forward to the 2007 and I wonder what will it brings me.

Accosting the New Year

To be honest, I am not really all that keen on the usual new year malarky celebration and as the years passes by, I seem to prefer to accost the new year in much less quiet environment and one more relaxing. Heading out to the usual clubs, bars and pubs would be absolutely and utterly packed and I have no wish to join the stampede. Ergo, something simple is what I did ie. private function and some good food.

I hope everyone had a good New Year and may year 2007 brings many good things.
