Visitations

It's been a pretty surreal NYE weekend. Despite doing pretty much nothing (apart from wasting 2 hours standing in line at MOS and then 'partying' til 4), the end of 2005 was no short of surprises. here's to name a few:

i) Blast from the Past I - got an email from Kayo! though we chat every now and then on IM, hadn't heard from her since I reinstalled the hard-drive and dropped IM from my online habits. was nice to know she's still alive and kicking (and going to Egypt!!) end result: I reinstalled IM.

ii) Blast from the Past II - phonecall from NY! Bush, Elliot, James and Laurel rang up. drunk, no doubt, but still good. they made me promise to visit NY sometime in 2006 then hung up on me to flirt with some chicks they picked up from the bar. (Laurel claims she did all the legwork for the boys. surprise surprise...some things never change.)

iii) Blast from the Past III - SMS from Eugene! bastard SMSes from Taipei airport on his way to HK before heading back to Tokyo to wish happy new year and stuff. just saw him two months ago, but good to hear from as always. hope all's going well with Mrs Robinson.

iv) Blast from the Past IV - news from Po!! so Sara runs off to HK and discovers the Po-ster. apparently the ass is coming to Singapore for the whole of Feb and didn't even tell me!! I'm gonna whoop his sorry ass when he gets here.

and that pretty much rounds up the whole college gang of friends! all in a weekend's work. pretty amazing. makes up entirely for my own sorry weekend - I sat at home to read and watch DVDs (but oh my god have you seen Zatoichi? have not had such fun and senseless violence in a long time, but Team America was tasteless and stupid and shitzer porn is just not funny even if it's just playdoh and even less funny if you're watching it with your parents)

so that wraps up 2005. here's my customary list of new resolutions:
i) win the lottery
ii) if fail to do i), plan for alternate career
iii) write something frivolous and get paid for it
iv) visit NY and my degenerate friends
v) reduce credit card bill by half
vi) shed the fat and rediscover the corners of my face

First Day of Work in 2006: my computer has been declared a "gone case" and needs to be "re-cloned".
