our small island

looks like this year is coming to an end. we'll be in year 2009 in just about 2 weeks but it feels like a few months ago since i celebrated last Christmas with the girls at Mois.. come to think of it, the last december was really fun and joyful.. especially having nearly all my dearies around.. well, except for sookie cookie.. this year seems a bit quieter with about half the ppl not being around in penang.. but at least the rest of us here still make plans n get together.. =) i still can clearly remember last years' Penang Medical Christmas Dinner at Tanjung Bungah Hotel with ann n nian.. it was sort of a really last minute thing cos i forgot why my mom couldnt make it n so she passed the 3 tics to me.

well for this year, mom has got no last minute change in plans, so i accompanied her for the dinner.. sat at the same table number with pretty much the same ppl as last years' dinner - mom's colleagues from her old department. and to my suprise, i found out that the lady at our table, is actually one of my MGS senior, (Rachel Chan's) grandma.. what a small world i'd say. besides that, i met a few other seniors as well and also a primary school teacher. but i forgot what her name is. all i can remember is that she used to teach RK classes, funny and sporting. i guess penang really is a small island where everyone is somehow connected to each other.. which is good and bad in some ways.. makes us all like a real big family but all kinds of bad news will tend to travel faster, than a speeding bullet.. haha

anyways, will be cutting my hair in time for Christmas, again. haha

and yes, i'm cutting it on the 18th at 10am. (ming, DONT laugh..) it's an appointment! wrong meh..? lol
