Happy Chinese New Year!!

It's my year!! Piggy piggy oink oink!!

I love CNY! I've missed the last 2 CNY's by being stuck in snow and under piles of books. No more of that, no more! I've been stuffing myself with loads of food, even before CNY which is awfully bad, but then, I've also been to the gym abit more lately, so not as guilty. And I went rock climbing today too, so I technically do more than just eat and sleep as most people accuse me of. I think I may have a slight fear of height. When I was going for the beginner rock climbing course, and we were bouldering (where the wall is lower, about 5 metres, and there are no ropes or harnesses, just a cushy mat beneath), and had to practice spotting (you stand under another climber and watch and perpare to catch if they fall), I had to jump down from the wall, which was pretty high. So there I was, about 3 meters up, and the co-instructor told me to jump and even with a fellow student below to catch me, I got a little scared. I looked at him and gave him a "are you kidding me?" look, and he was like jump! jump! Well, I didn't have much of a choice, so I took two steps down, and then jumped. It was pretty scary, heh. But if I'm doing top-ropes, I'm fine, no fear of heights at all. It just gets a little scary when I don't know where to go next or where to put my foot. Ok enough bout rock climbing, I digress too much.

So CNY. I miss gambling. A lot of my cousins are old and married now, leaving not many left to gamble or hang out with me. I miss playing black jack so much right now, but I'll settle for mahjong too. Though I've never been lucky in black jack and I'm not too good in mahjong (yet, I'll get there!), I still enjoy them very very much. Ok la, it seems like there is nothing much to talk about CNY anymore then.

Another thing is, I finally stopped procrastinating and have changed my flight tickets home. I'll be leaving KL on the 8th of April to go back to Chicago. But I'll probably have to stay a night in NY first. Hope K would be there and I can bunk in at her place. And then its off to Chicago to look for my apartment. Stupid me forgot to pack some spring clothes for when I go back, so now I onl have thick winter clothes (from London, Paris vacation) and also summer clothes. Nothing in between. Which means I should get a spring/autumn jacket from Malaysia, but there is nothing suitable. Nada. Argh. Someone who knows where to get nice ones please let me know. Highly appreciated.

Enough already. Gotta go eat. Ta!
