Xin Nian Kuai Le!

Gong Xi Fatt Chai!

It's been awhile... and so many things has happened since that while that there's too much to write about that I don't know where to start. So I'll start from yesterday - Chinese New Year's eve.

My first CNY abroad, but it was a really good celebration. 10 of us - Alven, Sonny, Raymond, Nick, Odil, Shin Yee, Alan, Doreen, Bansi and I, we had the most delicious 10 course meal at Wah Tin Restaurant. And also went for drinks and bowling afterwards.





What am I gonna do without them? Where would I be? Life would certainly suck without such great friends as these. And although the celebrations wasn't as meriah as it would have been in Malaysia, it was good - good enough to make me forget the homesickness, good enough to make me feel like i'm the luckiest girl in the world to have friends like these.

This outing was a wake up call to appreciate my friends more, to spend more time with them, and to really really treasure the friendship that we have. I have admittedly been spending too much time with The Boy that they've been feeling rather negnected - so neglected that they went to watch a movie last Saturday without me, which made me merajuk for a whole day...

Speaking of The Boy, he's not been formally introduced, has he? Well everybody, meet Will. He lives opposite my house and we spend most of our time together watching DVDs, eating and layaning each other's silliness. Which is a good thing because no one else layans my merengek-ness.

I was feeling totally hyper after the huge amounts of food, coke and chocolates that I bought at the bowling alley that he suggested a drive to calm me down a bit. Said that it works for him cos as a child whenever he couldn't sleep his dad would drive him around and put the music on and it seemed to work on him. So we took a two hour drive around Dartmoor, enjoyed the scenery by night, looked at ponies and wild rabbits caught in the headlights whilst trying to cross the road (he refused to let me take one home!) and basically had a great time enjoying the evening together.

^_^

Happiness. With people like these in my life, what else can I wish for?
