happy two double-oh eight!
Ahhh, time passes so fast when you’re having fun, doesn’t it? In one long flash, 2007 is gone, and 2008 is just around the corner. Everyone’s doing a last post for the year, and I just had to jump on the bandwagon too!
I guess the biggest and most prominent thing that happened to me this year was my major haul-ass migration from KL to Sydney. And after almost a year here, I sometimes still find it a little surreal — am I really here? Or is this all just one, very long dream?
And so, not to make this short post any longer and to sum my year in a few (hundred) words, here’s an ode to 2007 sung in the tune of the 12 Days of Christmas.
In the 12 months of 2007, my fortunes gave to me…
12 movies at the cinemas
- and lots more flicks on DVDs, downloads and on-flight entertainment
11 months in Sydney
- my biggest move… has it been that long already?
10 visitors from abroad
- four family members, two ol’ friends, moz, laundryamah & Mr. D, and ehon
9 months in my own place
- I love where I’m staying now, except for the roaches
8 cute new housemates
- kiki, owl, froggy, Mr Happy, Little Miss Sunshine, sheep-o and two Jap dolls
7 trips to Sydney’s IKEA
- if it weren’t so far, I’d have done more
6 uses of the oven
- muffins, gingerbread cookies, shortbread, and three rounds of siew pai kuat
5 “gold” L-plates
- I got my learner licence, hooray! I can drive in Oz!
4 office “parties”
- a trip to Hunter Valley, two picnics and Christmas cocktails
3 lucky bamboo shoots
- I hope these will last for a long time and not die on me
2 sexcapades
- holidays to Italy and back home to KL… I miss you lots
And a promotion for working my *toot* off!
- with a wee more $ in the bank, too

I still remember talking to u on the phone on CNY eve last year, the night before your departure
How’s the roaches in Australia?
Are they as disgusting as the siu keong in Malaysia?
i never like roaches, wherever they are
Love the 2008 firework shots
hou leng ah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woofy New Year, May jiejie
Ah Boy saw a new blue-coloured star like human figure up there waving hands at Ah Boy.. Ah Boy didn’t see it in the past woh.. or issit Ah Boy hallucinating from having too much ayam kicap yesterday night?
Woof..
Happy New Year May! I wish you a great year ahead with more promotions, and good health! *hugs*
Giddy Tigress - I’m hoping it would, but I’m at the mercy of the Australian Immigration Department. hopefully they’ll grant me my visa renewal without me having to serve my full 2 years here in Oz. I’d definitely plan for more sexcapades then!

roaches are thankfully small for now and the best thing is, they don’t fly. or maybe they’re too dumb to fly here, yet no less disgusting. I kill them with glee each time. muahahahaha! must kill kill KILL!
the fireworks were fantastic, wish you were here!

Ah Boy - you are a VERY observant little dog! yes that’s my newly added icon, a blue hug-hug star which I got from IKEA in KL a long time ago. used to be in my car, but now that I’ve sold my wheels, all I have left is this… cute, hor? did you enjoy your ayam kicap?
