Chinese New Year 2009

Chinese New Year had been pretty great save for recent passing of a good friend’s mother. Mel, if you’re reading this, don’t worry. We’re definitely here for you!
Other than that it was a little bit tiring. Just few days ago, WK, Umeng and his 2 brothers, KF, Kiang, SL and I were playing counterstrike at a cybercafé in Kuchai Lama until 6am. We did the same thing the night before. Our initial plan was to head to Genting Highlands for a day trip but when everyone gathered, it was already 12am hence too late.
When we got off from the cybercafé, I had a déjà vu feeling. It felt like I was back in high school again. We did the same thing when 12 to 15 years ago. Time flies.
Aussie boy, Umeng and SL are back from Australia for Chinese New Year. Wei Chen just came back as well.
Just last week, we had a birthday party for Ping and Umeng cum farewell for Jin Han and cum homecoming for the Aussie boys at Neway Karaoke. It was … havoc. Everyone was forcing each other to drink.

In the end of the night, some were knocked out and some were puking their guts out.

Further, I left my camera in the karaoke room and Kiang left his car keys there as well. I didn’t realize I lost it until the next day! Fortunately, Kiang, who went back to find his keys, found my camera and kept it for me.
The chaps at Neway Times Square were a great help as well. I initially lost all hope for my digital camera when I realize that I left it in Neway. However, when I called Neway, they took down my report and informed me that they will call me back if they find it. They called me back eventually and informed me that it’s not in their Lost and Found section. But the chap on the phone told me that he will go back to the room to search for it. I was quite impressed with their level of service. Couple of weeks back, a friend of mine dropped her wallet in front of a local airline company. When she made a report, the airline company located her wallet – with RM3000 missing.
Anyway, my high school friends and I will be making a trip down to Pulau Tioman. It’s going to be another drunken trip again. I hope that we will be sober enough to enjoy the entire trip. I also hope to climb there as I heard that Tioman has couple of climbing spots there.

BRB!
