Its CNY!!

The new year has just passed & now its the lunar new year.. feeling that these festive seasons came all at one go for this year.. with age catching up, I'm no longer as enthu as when I was a kid.. but I do appreciate the holi to rest..

It was a sleepless night on Thurs morning, slept at 1am, woke up at 2am then 4.30am to check my results.. cant really predict the UK timing of releasing the results so I have to wake up every few hours to check my email but it was all worth it.. I passed!! I couldnt believe it.. couldnt imagine having to do the 2 killer papers again.. was prepared to redo it again if thats my fate.. but I'm really relieved!! MD even suggested a big sweep with everyone contributing 2 bucks to guess my average marks.. he is so excited doing it but a sleep deprived me just want a bed.. I'm glad my P8 was not too bad.. at least it was better than what my colleagues got.. heez.. I did really studied hard.. left with 2 more papers before I cleard this level and 2 more levels to go before I'm declared done with it.. it was also CNY team lunch on the same day.. we ate ate Crystal Jade Palace.. We ordered almost 10 dishes I think.. I'm actually quite full after the dim sum which is only just the starting.. was so bloated at the end.. then it was my apprisal back in office and b'day celebration for N (cake again!!).. after dinner was marketing session with clients.. ate again with bottles of white!! the session ended almost 1am.. I was deadbeat by the end of the day.. all in all.. a happening Thurs..

Went Chinatown with my parents to get some festive mood as well as to do some last min shopping.. Phew!! I finally found my CNY clothes.. was still brooding what I should wear.. met up with xm later at CT & we ended up sitting at an Indian Temple as she wanna see the interior of the temple.. caught up with wj & j later for movie.. so here goes movie sharing session again... Introducing Red Cliff 2..


Produced and directed by internationally-acclaimed Director John Woo, RED CLIFF II tells the story of the legendary Battle of Red Cliff, a decisive battle during the period of the Three Kingdoms in China, as told in the Chinese classic novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. (extracted from www.gv.com.sg)

I didnt watch the first part so there was no form of comparison.. my colleague who watched it prefers the 1st compared to the sequel which is the usual comments from most viewers.. Its not too bad with the ever charming Takeshi and Tony.. the only part which I didnt like is the last part I guess.. as a more sensitive person, all I could think of was the pain and scrifice that the folks had to go through all bcoz of the leader's pursue of power.. the result is most often the loss of so many innocent people whom just want to with their family.. is it worth lying your life when the riches and credit all goes to the leader?? I wish the world will never have to go through this type of ordeal.. I'm not a samaritan but wishes for peace..

May the new year bring luck and all wishes be fulfilled.. Huat Huat Huat!!!
