2006 is here!

What have I done in 2005?
What am I going to do in 2006?
Am I going to graduate in 2006? (crucial qn)
Can I be a better person in 2006?
Can I live more "colorfully" in 2006?
Do I look forward to 2006?

Do I care?

Let's recap 2005.

Started my 2005 in Maldives. Not a very comfortable start, but definitely very exciting and meaningful. Highlight of the year!


My room in the refugee camp where I spent numerous nights lying awake watching the WWF of the rats and birds on the roof.

See the aircon look-alike behind me? Yah, it's really only a look-alike.




The beautiful Maldives beach... undisturbed by the horrible Tsunami.



no, it's not from a postcard or edited by photoshop. It's 100% genuine, taken by my old-faithful Fujifilm camera.





My comrades. We have braved so much together there. Really miss them. Hope they are all doing well.

Kuala Lumpur (Mar 2005 )
Weekend getaway with my best friends in KL.








Kun, Zhaoyu and me



The Lab (Feb 2005 to ... )
Birth of Sabrina and my never-ending torture in the lab.






Me and Sabrina

(1) Christmas dinner with the lab people, including staff, postgraduates and FYP students. I may not know many of them very well, but we are bound by a common identity. That's good enough, isn't it?

(2) Christmas eve. From right, Weihan, Junjie, me, Qingzhong, Kun, Ruoning and... I cannot remember the name. Sorry.

(3) Boxing Day potluck at Chia Lung's house. My lab comrades: Chia Lung, me, Peiying, Xiaowen, Chee Meng, Sing Chuan, Emily, Koh, Huiling, Weiloon, Teck Wee.


Tanjung Pinang (27 - 29 Dec 2005)

Nothing like a relaxing trip to end the year with. I dare not say I deserve a rest, but I certainly needed it. Hopefully this will eliminate/reduce the number of PEOs, pressure-induced emotional outbursts, (which I had a couple in 2005) I will have in 2006.

Goodbye 2005.
