Chinese New Year Blues

This CNY didnt get off on the right note. Had sore throat on the morning of CNY eve. It was a really bad illness to have when you are having bbq for reunion dinner. Anyway, i just hentam all the chicken wings, lamb (yummy!), and sausages. I was drinking honey with lime the whole night trying to get rid of the sore throat. Alas, (by the way, this is the correct way to use this word. hahaha) the stupid sore throat was still there on Sunday morning. The sore throat then progessed to a fever on this day. Then i managed to develop runny nose and a slight cough. 10 days later, i still have the runny nose. Idiot.

Anyway, i went out for the annual ang pow hunting expedition (APHE) on the third day with the gang. Went to Robin's place and played blackjack (or African-Americanjack) but lost all my money to Robin. Damn, the guy was on fire man. We went to Taman Asean on the fourth day for the continuation of our APHE. Gambled at Colin's place and i lost money again. Aaarghh! 2 days of gambling and no winnings to show for it. Maybe i should get my head shaven bald (or almost bald) to bring in some good luck. Apparently, it also projects a positive image. I think all enforcement officers should have almost bald hair cuts cause it'll project a positive image on them. Dont you all agree?

However, i managed to win back all my losses on the sixth day of CNY when we went to Audrey's place for a CNY party. Looks like i didnt need a hair cut after all. After the party, it was time to finish my industrial training report. It sure was a rushed job cause i had to hand it in on Monday. I would like to thank Choo for all the help he provided. *grinz*
