CNY. Whoop dee doo. An excuse to meet with relatives and drink endless cans of soft drinks, eat all sorts of goodies and have a reason to celebrate. So far, CNY is relatively uneventful. Reunions are okay, hongbao income is moderate, and homework is not done. So yay!
Main events that happened today:
Ms Sie's house! Its exactly the layout of my aunt's house, and Stuart's grandfather's house, so it felt familiar the moment I stepped in. Pizza party for lunch, and we all sat around talking about school, life in general and bemoaned our lives. It surprises me how much I miss in terms of school gossip. Everyone's like, "This teacher left, this teacher's married" and I'm like "really? Didn't notice" But mostly I was clued in, just gossiping life as usual. The main attraction was Ms Sie's cats. CATSSSS. SO AWESOME. They are like little furry assassins XDXD Jumping and climbing like pros, and yet cute and cuddly when they want to get close to their target. If they became intelligent and got weapons, I would never sleep. Luckily, they're quite lazy after food :D
Personally, I wouldn't keep pets, the responsibility of having to answer to their schedule would be too much for me, cos I like the flexibility of going out anytime. Hostel was awesome for that. I miss hostel ):
Anyway, I had to leave early for SAF CDF CNY dinner. Thats Singapore Armed Forces, Chief of Defense Force, Chinese New Year dinner. The military loves acronyms, any project you want to suggest to them has to have a cool acronym for them to consider it. Anyway, my dad got invited back even when he retired, which is awesome. Usually Bernard is there, but he couldn't make it today, so I had to talk to Yi Hui, 5 minute conversation tops :P
So I went around pressing palms. My dad introduced me to most of the Senior Commanders and Officers, who are seriously some of the most capable and intelligent people in Singapore. Good to meet them. As an unexpected plus, their families have kids around our age too, so spent some time scouting talent :) Useful connections for NS really, and for later in life, but I don't think I'll join the military. Ms Sie is right, I lack the focus and dynamic ability to be on top of many things at one time. I'm more of the focus on an interesting problem for a long time kind of guy.
Cousin's house tmr. Darren, the guy from Challenger, awesome gamer. Have to warm up for Black Ops VS marathon tmr. I'll probably lose super badly, I've had no practice :(
