Tml is the last day of IA. Had a farewell lunch with my colleagues at Jack's Place. Quite a coincidence my frens and I patronized that restaurant at the start of our IA and to end the IA with a meal there as well.
Baked some cookies to give away to my colleagues as a parting gift just before I leave. Specially packed 4 small bags of cookies to give away to my mentor n sup in the 2 dept. Spent 3 nights to make the cookies. Made 2 batches of cookies on 2 nights, and the last night was spent packaging them. It was fun, but pretty tiring to bake them in small batches cos of the small oven that i used. The taste is there, but the presentation is a bit off target. Ha ha. At least not too bad for a first-time baker. Thanks to Dear for pointing out all the mistakes that i made on the 1st batch. Will try out some of the recipes in the cook books that dear had borrowed from the library. The food in the pics look good!
Will be going to KL this weekend with dad mum n Dear. It will be my first visit to KL as far as I can recall. Just a short trip to eat and shop. Sort of like a celebration to end of IA. Hopefully I can get to walk across the sky bridge on the Petronas Towers.

End of IA !!
Its the final week of IA. Its really amazing how time flies when u are not suffering (note: i din say enjoy, i just say NOT SUFFERING). Going to leave my company soon. Gotta take a few pics of the office and with my colleagues. Gonna miss some of them. I'm thinking of baking some chocolate cookies for my department. Sort of like a farewell gift. Afterall they had given me quite a bit of guidance and helped me a lot. Maybe I getting a farewell card for my mentor n sup as well.
Had an uneventful weekend. Saturday was spent rotting at home doing nothing. Basketball on Sunday was lerthargic, slow and boring. Even the trip to sentosa was no good either. Poor weather and no Ais-Kream for the eyes. Half a day of tanning on the beach din even give me a slight shade of red! The only redness that I have on my shoulders and back is from the abrasion on the sand. The only interesting thing is the sedap Green Thai curry that BC let me try at HarborFront after we left the isle. Its the first time that I tasted green curry, for I had always tot it looked yucky. Now I'm getting interested in Thai food again. Ha ha ha. But Jap food is still my fave!
Think Ah Di is having some health problems lately. The patches on his skin is getting worse, and he keeps on licking and scratching at it. The medications that i had got for him seems not to be working, or did have the chance to work on him. The bitterants I apply on his wounds to prevent him from licking does not deter him for licking at the wounds too. I really hope that its just a minor problem, for he is an old dog already, anything serious would have far fetching consequences. Gonna take him to the vet soon.

Growing Up
Was reading JS's blog a couple of days ago, when he mentioned about a basketball match we had against some other sunday basketball team, which was like during the sec sch days. Makes me reminisce about the good old times when JS, CS, Bek n me would gather every sunday to play bball then. It was nice to have such a close bunch of frens loving n doing the same things together. Now, CS is always missing, Bek has already given up playing bball. Only JS n me are still playing, infrequently. Its sort of like a reminder of how much we have grown, and have our own world now. So there's less time for each other. But their places in our hearts will never change. Meeting up less doesn't mean that we will drift apart. Though there may be lesser common topics to talk about if we are all doing different stuff. I definitely miss those days when we would always hang out together, but we have all moved on. Well, so much for Growing Up.

9 days break
Had 2 of my wisdom tooth extracted last Monday, and was ‘rewarded’ with a 5 day MC. So in total I had 9 days off from work. Shiok!
The surgery wasn’t as bad as I thought it to be. Couldn’t feel a thing after the anesthetics kicked in. The only painful part was the dentist trying to stretch my mouth. Otherwise it was a relatively simple n fast surgery. But the pain started to act when the anesthetics wore off, and I was almost down with a fever on the first night. Luckily I got better after dinner (porridge with some fish. I couldn’t chew and had to swallow directly)
Had a swollen jaw for the rest of the week, and spent most of the time at home, playing games. Ha ha. Slack all the way. Thanks to dear for taking care of me during this period. (not to forget the chicken porridge she cooked for me on Tuesday as well)
Went to JB with dear, BC, Ivy n Adrian on Friday. Spent half a day in there, shopping, buying CDs (games, music, video) and of course, EAT the cheap n nice seafood! The buttered Cray fish was heavenly
Bought a Jdorama there: Last Christmas. And oh boy it was a good show. Nice music, story and good acting too. Would recommend this to all Jap culture worshippers.
