I started to feel the Christmassy atmosphere yesterday.
-It started with the company dinner, where all of us gathered and had a good meal with the closure of 2010.
-Then the overnight stay at 'PPR' with campcomm was really fun. Gift exchange was exciting. Not to forget the great hospitality of chunhong -- the house really became our chalet again. Booze, log cake, food, card games, chocolates, christmas cards, christmas decorations etc. I'm sure everyone secretly hopes to go there again.
-And then there's the christmas trip up North with a few squadmates later. After a marred/failed trip 4 months ago (read about it HERE) , this make-up trip has to materialise. I'm sure this is a good break for the working girls and holidaying guys. Not much planning done, it shall be a chillax trip.
Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Dates: 24th December ~ 27th December

天气好，精神爽。所以一口气跑了10公里。
That was partly fuelled by the extra oil, lard and wax that i consumed yesterday with campcomm friends, at our Pre-SEP (and Pre-IA) Food Hunt around Eastern Singapore.
In fact, "Food" is THE WORD this week.
1. On Sunday, some of us OCIP peeps had a hilarious buffet dinner at Jushinjung Korean BBQ. My 3rd time there with the same people. The BBQ pork and BBQ chicken and my favourite ginger tea were still as mouth-watering. The light-heartedness and brainlessness were always the highlight.
2. On Tuesday (yesterday), there was the little Food Hunt outing on bus around the Central/Eastern Singapore, where we ate from start to end, only resting during bus travelling time.
3. Come Thursday (tomorrow), there'll be the annual company dinner, which will feature seafood, in a all-I-can-eat fashion.
4. Come weekend, the free-and-easy KL trip might just have some good food as well.
Binge and Binge and Binge.
The best part is, I have never left the "underweight" category.

I have really spotted a trend in my blog visitorship.
On the DAYS of results release, my readership will spike -- by 100% or 200%. The visitors count on results day from Semester 2 (in May 2009) to Semester 4 (in May 2010) had shown a two-fold or even three-fold increase, compared to the average daily traffic.
Today was the results release for Semester 5. I thank all for your concerns, judging by the more-than-double visitor numbers today. Be it genuine concerns or kaypohs (just kidding lah), I'm gonna disappoint you by not releasing the details of my results this semester.
It's not really that I'm too disappointed with them, as I've already expected what I would see at 7:40am this morning. It's more of accepting the fact that: It-just-doesn't-matter-anymore. By that, I mean it is impossible to raise the standards to the upper bracket anymore, so I'll be a happy 2nd Lower. Nevertheless, I should ensure it won't fall further.
Look, a 3.51 and a 3.99 makes no difference in the certificate. I would be happier getting a 2nd Lower with a score of say, 3.7, compared to the frustrating score of 3.99!
That said, I really have to take my hats off to my cohort in Chem Eng. You guys are really smart and analytical and exam-smart and diligent and productive and efficient and respectable and hardworking. You guys truly and certainly deserve the good results.
But if you are reading this now, and reckon that you are that average just like me, just don't be discouraged. The world needs the average like us. The majority of the population is average. But that does not mean there isn't a way for us at all. So, let's look inner and work hard together.
