Monday

First day of year 2007 (MMVII) of the Gregorian calendar. It is the 7th year in the 21st century, and the 7th year in the 3rd millennium. It is also the current year. It has been designated:

• International Polar Year
• International Heliophysical Year

Most of 2007 overlaps with the Year of the Pig in the Chinese calendar. 2007 is the year of the sign Pisces in Western Astrology.

Spent my NYE at Nyan’s house. Too tired to go out today. Stayed at home with little Bro, Pa and Ma. Dad made me some nice breakfast in the morning :)

Thinking back, 2006 was overall a very fruitful year for me.

Tuesday

I can’t remember what I did today. Most probably I did nothing.

Wednesday

Went to return my library books today, then met up with keen, seb and his gf for dinner. Always nice to hang out with them :) Wanted to play some bowling, but SAFRA was having some League, played pool instead.

This was my supper.

Thursday

Woke up late today. Then went to my Bro’s sch, TP Design School, for lunch. Yes.. I went there for lunch! It’s cheap and good, I’m bored, hungry and I can have some eye candy, why not!

Went home and started working on the new NaughtyBananas website. It’s long overdue.. Supposed to finish it by the end of the holidays. Seb and I are still working on it, but things are going fine.

Friday
Went gym with Seb and a special guest today! Keen! Today’s gym was especially fun, the 3 of us talked more then we workout hahaha! Dinner was Shabu-Shabu at Bugis. Bowling and Pool followed.

Saturday

Woke up kinda late today. Lunch was my Mom’s fried rice. It think it’s not qualified to be called fried rice. I think it’s more of a chinese sausage rice with diced mushroom and some other stuffs. Nonetheless, it’s damn good :) Brought some stuffs back to my townhouse. Went to Meidi-Ya with my Bro to check out some product packaging ideas (for his course). I must say, Japanese are really creative and, their attention to details are also reflected in the packaging.

Met Keen to jalan jalan at the Pasar Malam near our house. Bought a lot and ate a lot!

See the 6 patties? They are all ours! 3 x Double-Patty Ramly burgers!

Lastly
I think I have a very boring life…

Unusually, I had quite a number of nice dreams in December (2006). They were as real as they get. How I wished they were true.

But they often say dream and reality are opposite of each other.

Is it true?
