Happy CNY to everybody

Its a bit early but I want to wish everyone a Happy Chinese New year in advance since the net will probably be flooded at that time.

For me, I will be working overtime all the way. If there is money to be earned, let's not let it go to waste. With money in the pocket, everyday can be a new year's day. With the recession going into full swing, it is always better to keep some money for safety.

I took a hard knock to my head when I fell off a box I was standing on. My body was aching and my neck was real stiff. Saw a doctor and took the next day off from work. This could have been prevented but I guess I got careless. Nevertheless, I have come to realize that exercise really helps to reduce the damages from a hard knock.

In the past when I was cycling and riding off road bikes, taking a tumble seems to be an easy affair and walking away from it like nothing happened was the norm. Now, I get aches and muscle strains from the impact of the fall and not to mention the slower reaction time which is why I didn't break fall in time.

Putting the bad things aside, I attended Bjorn's birthday party on Tuesday evening. Many friends attended it and the food prepared by his mum was great. Jasmine brought her arsenal of vodka spirits and I loved the pear flavored one most. Too bad it was a weekday and we had work the next day. After watching the US president inauguration, we split for home.

Prior to the event, I met Joey to discuss the plans for the birthday present. After the discussion, we decided to buy him the china phone I was using since his phone is dying and boring. The cost was split between me, Joey and Jeevan. Bjorn was so ecstatic about it when I presented it to him that I had to demonstrate my phone to the crowd during the party.
