An Eventful Rainy Week 1
January 8, 2006 1 Comment
Many things happened during the 1st Week of 2006. It kinda started with a BIG BANG…Like 2005, 2006 started with so many extraordinary events.
Pigeon from Shanghai
One of the best things that happened this week is Echo’s surprise visit. She popped by Caffeine on the 3rd Jan with so many "red bombs" (aka Wedding Invitation). Coincidently, I was attending Serene’s wedding the day Echo arrived. It was good to meet an old pal…especially when she flew all the way from Shanghai to deliver her self-design wedding invitation card.
A Clan Shaken
Had a really, really bad explosion with my clique.. and ended up as bad as the rainy weather. It was really upsetting and not worth mentioning here. Emotions ran high and faith and trust were over-turned within a snap! It is not pin-pointing "right or wrong" – more of meeting the minds between people. Everyone thinks that they are right and someone is wrong. Bad misunderstanding can lead to lousy outcome for friends. There is really nothing for me to look back – Just move forward. Dun stay too long at the junction where war broke off.
1st Birthday of the Year
Despite the bad weather, Joanne, Juli, Meijie, Kalinda, Duuk and Tracy did their best to get something "sunny" for Felicia’s birthday. It was a simple dinner at Suntec Marche on Friday night. Joanne managed to gather the gang (at last minute). And Tracy helped me to settle the booking for the weekend triip.
Felicia was very surprised as she didn’t expect much from this "rainy week". There were cake-cutting, candle-blowing, good food and karaoke session. Especially the birthday gift – the gals got Felicia a very very well-thought gift – a OSIM iPamper. The party continued until 4am at KBOX Marina.

Rainy Weekend at Batam
Our spirits are certainly not dampened by the wet season. The people at Batam are so friendly – both Felicia and I were so impressed by their warm greetings and gestures. Since the minute we arrived, the sky started pouring (non-stop). There is nothing much we can do – no beach activity, no swimming, no street shopping. I called that "hotel-arrest" – meaning I am stuck within the premise and cannot move out. (The funny part – we got our time mixed-up; no one tells me that we are in a different time zone at Batam.)
We have intended to take a cab to the Batam city but it rained badly. Moreover, I heard tales that it may not be safe to travel without a reliable guide. Thus, Felicia and me did nothing but eat, sleep, eat, sleep …It was a trip to let Felicia relax and rest (from her hetic work schedule)..and I guess Feli got a 80% recharge…It is good to relax our mind and body in this cold and cozy weather. Feels like winter in December.
It will be a very busy Jan for me. My appointments are already fully booked until 18th Jan. Enjoy the nice cool rainy weather now. Hopefully, the sun will be out soon. 🙂
