At the eleventh hourMayday, Mayday.
It's the eve of a new year's new day.
'One crazy thing each year.'
I still remember.
Mostly surprises, a few shocked, a handful expected.
All in stride, falling in place as time gathered.
A few rocky transitions.
More than a few good decisions.
A poor poem attempt here.
Long enough to round up the exiting year.

Happy New Year, one and all!

PassageI dunno if time passes by. Sometimes, I think we pass time by, and not time passes us by.
Whatever it is, I'm back from my Shanghai trip!
Christmas is just around the corner. So... Merriest of Christmas to all. Have a good holiday season, if it's relevant. *_^

It's really only 8 days.About 48 hours from now, I would be on the plane to Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Xiaobao in tow, my Mum on hand.
One of my first goals since I started working, aside from trying to love my work, is to bring my parents on a trip to somewhere further than Hong Kong - cos that's about the furthest we've been to as a family.
This trip, my dad didn't want to come along. I think my dad has a grand plan to migrate to Thailand soon. He's always going there on short 'get-lucky-at-4D' trips and full of praises and trust in the people of Thai. It's the only place that he not only would not refuse a trip to, but would actually take the initiative to find out about the latest budget airline promotion so that he can fly there for a short weekend trip and not spend too much.
My mum is coming with me. Rather, I ended up taking just my mum.
It's winter now. Our tour leader informed that it's -2 deg cel now. We bought, borrowed and dug out all the clothes, and accessories, we deemed suitable to bring along with us.
Packing up... excited and a tad bit afraid of the weather conditions. But, money spent should be money well spent. We'll have fun!

Dear, it's 8 days. May feel like 8 lifetimes. I have decided to bring my handphone charger, if that makes you feel just that bit better. You may have to split my phone bill with me for this month. Hor? =P

This is for Wenn - my best friend and most worthy (and least likely, she claimed) rival in love - who got transported to Perth without my acknowledgement. A tonne of apricot soft nougat is expected in her return luggage.Love & dating...39
In my early twenties, I saw it as a form of compliment, almost like telling me that I'm such an undiscovered gem. Coming to mid-twenties, I started to roll my eyes at it being a silly, superficial kind of question, much like asking if a neighbour just got home when you see him/her in the lift. In my mid-twenties, I see it as a sarcastic form of flattery, with compliment value as thin as the skin on a baby's butt - I'm assuming it's smooth and thin.
Anyway, since one such undiscovered true gem of a lady (I say it with my most sincere heart) has recently been asked this preposterous question, it just started me thinking of all the possible answers. Answers to, hopefully, elicit that dumb-founded expression that may say 'that was a stupid question, all right'.
Please feel free if you have more to add on.
Suggested answers to the question: Why are you still single? (not in order of any sort)
1. Who told you I am? I prefer to keep my marriage a secret, if you know what I mean + *wink*.
2. You have an issue with single mums?
3. I'm still recovering from my last marriage.
4. I think, therefore I am.
5. *sigh* + Why am I still single? Ya, you tell me why. I'm pretty, smart, have a great body, (and then, go on and on about how gorgeous you are.. never mind if your nose will grow - it will look beautiful on you anyway...)
6. My last boyfriend told me I'm too good for any man.
7. I don't like man + *wink*. (Potentially devastating when used with homo-phobics.)
8. I'm under psychotic treatment cos of the death of my last fiance. My shrink said it's a commitment phobia thingy. So, *smile* I don't think I'm ready to murder, I meant, see someone new.
9. You have no idea what happened to the last guy who asked me this question.
10. Because I was sent to Earth to love all mankind, not just one.
11. I have a pre-recorded answer to this question. But I forgot to bring my player out.
12. Why are you not single? + *suggestive smile/wink* (assuming it's someone from the opposite sex who asked)
13. I always have problem making decisions. It's just so difficult to decide who I want to date.
14. Nobody hates me enough to make my life miserable.
15. My mum said all men are arseholes and will be a complete waste of my time.
16. In my house, girls only start dating when they are 35. I'm still 10 years underaged.
17. I'm married to my dog.
18. I will answer you only if you pay me $10 per minute.
19. I beg your pardon, what do you mean by that?
20. *act like you are ready to cry and relate a woeful tale, turn away and if possible, walk away*
