Status so far...

Watched Lord of the Rings.
One of the few film adaptions of books which i feel retains very much the essense and even enhances the original literature. Not at all disappointed despite having a high expection of it after all the hype and being generally critical of such attempts.

Prepared for new school term.
Sorted out my timetable but quite sure that there will be changes. Found out that I will be more involved in training and also learning a new assessment tool so have to also mentally gear myself up for it. Bought trays for making tasks for therapy.

Met up with some friends.
Saw babes and her sibs for new year. And even some friends that i have not seen for a while. Quite a nice start to a brand new year. I believe what we do on new years eve heralds for what is to come for the new year. For example, i spent last new years eve watching tv and 2001 had been one where i found myself slavishly catching tv series. It could just be me. But a good start is always nice. Certainly don't want to spend new year day with a hangover.

Gave aunt bag of goodies.
Some clothes alil big but generally she was happy with the choices for chinese new year. And abit surprised to receive one frozen chicken. My mom have to greatest ability to pack enough food to feed an army into a tv carton. To date, no one in our family had dared to refused her "packages" for fear of eternal retribution. Hence, i bought back with me, amongst my already stuffed backpack, a tv carton comprises of 8 frozen chickens, 1 giant fish (of unknown species but suppose to be really good i.e. was swimming in south china sea just this morning) which was at least a meter in length and width of my big thigh, 4 packs of dried chinese mushroom, 4 packs of dried scallops, 4 packs of mushroom stalky thingys for soup, 2 packs of root thingy for soup, 1 frozen pack of pig's intestines, 2 pack of preserved sausages, 2 packs of rice biscuits, 1 giant piece of yellow ginger and 3 rack of roast pork and 1 rack of char sieu. Not surprisingly our luggage was overweight (60kg of which 30kg came from the carton).

Hence, i need now to find time to write about my trip, watch spirted away and meet up with the rest of my friends. Hopefully this weekend will suffice.
