Again, today is another irritated day because mio minore fratello is too lazy to go downstairs to practise his football on very cool and windy day. That's so silly, since the environment here is fantastic! Maybe should get some mates to come here and play some football...

But let's come back to the topic. Yes, it will be a recall of the Xmas celebrations and like many others, a review of the year with my yearly resolution post. By the way, this is the 268th entry since the inconception of this space... I suppose it's a good way to end such an unbelievable year.

Xmas celebrations began with the 7Seas steamboat gathering at Jinki's place on the 22nd (as usual), and that there was really so much food, and top it up, sponsored by Jinki! Haha, thanks a million to mio majore fratello... The food was fantastic, the people were unusually interesting this time... why? We met Ah Kai's beau, Kevin's beau! Haha, too bad Ah Kai's beau needs more time with us, and Kevin and co came too late. I really cannot imagine the table with the 7Seas and the wives, plus the 7Seas sisters and their husband... it would be a huge table! Nonetheless, the next 10 years we will be looking at weddings, babies and probably many many new experiences as individuals and as a group... hahaha.

Next up on the 23rd was a simple day ktving with the army chaps. Charles kept singing until he complained of some discomfort in his throat =p =p =p Then the amazing thing was to have a newcomer for our ktv pursuits, but he was really too quiet.. and too bad David and co couldnt' come... Overall the guys improved in their singing...esp JX and Heng... haha. I sang a few couple weird songs and a couple of my specialties.. yep. We then went to Yishun central to eat dinner...fantastic chicken rice~

Then until around 9+, Pika summoned me out for a last minute bout of shopping. We went to J8, which surely was insincere in their extended shopping hours, but Marina Square was much better. We managed to see some shops and had a long drive home.. and got some pressies.. I'm really sorry if you got a really silly pressie... or if you got none, =p (c'mon, i'm not Santa nor Bill Gates)

Then the next day was another interesting day at Princess Cow's home (soon to be upgraded to Empress Hippo) with the rabbit family... First up I went to fetch the folks from Bishan and then round up the remaining at YCK. XM (thinking of a title for her..) joined us on Grace's invitation and that upped the interest factor 5-fold. Haha. The trouble began when I missed Pika and Princess Pooh blatantly at YCK as I was driving off due to a full load because of the wet windows on my van... OOPS, anyway, that was destined since I already mentioned it was getting squeezy behind (I drove a van) and our dear Wizardress has yet to reach so the 2nd trip was inevitable. Then we wrote Princess Cow's card and went up in a noisy fashion... It began with some ice cream, and my disastrous attempt at making cheese dip... haha. Disastro! But all was well on my 2nd attempt, and the ice cream was so to say, just good... I guess it was my tastebud. Then the games galore began.... the dai dee was of no-kick until Rachel and Ed came. Ed upped the level with some amazing throws, and yes, perhaps the group had been too cautious all the while..

On the other side, The monopoly group created a ruckus with their mad screaming and laughing.... poor Sir Nihongo... but they sure enjoyed it. XM had to return home before the clock struck 12.... yes, mabbe she should be known as Princess Sing-a-Bella, so I received the honour to send her home with an extra incentive to have Goddess of Trouble of being her escort and my return journey mate... Then we had to run back to the party because 25 Dec was arriving at any moment... The next thing was that I had to dial 1711 to get the correct time because we couldn't agree on our watches.....and guess what, after all the stupid advertisements, the announcer read, 23 59 and 50 secs~! So the countdown began right away....to only culminate into a anticlimax....nobody bothered less Princess Cow.... lol. Funny funny... Then after the games galore the prize presentation began...really sorry to His Majesty Emperor Proko, cos he got a froggy bin from me. haha..but hope it will come in hand in Birmingham where he can throw his frustrations into the bin... that was my idea (and since it's really light, it should save on your shipping costs). Then I got special presents from the Goddess herself.. man, I have yet to bet a single match all the while and her pressie fortifies the idea that I should refrain somemore...haha. Nonetheless everything was really really nicely made, written and just sums up a great day. Took a long ride home driving up northwards together with Rachel and Ed as well, hope the guys enjoyed the chat in the van~~

Interestingly, the day itself was nothing much....just slacked the day away. And also the several days post Xmas, except for those days we went to shop for post Xmas sales and had some ups-and-downs within the group.... and today arrives in a smack on my face....so many stuff yet to complete..

Explained to the Wizardress that the terms on my blog referred to footballing terms like "Board Expectations" meant targets for the football club for the season and in my idea, it means targets for my birth year staring and ending in Aug. Transfer Targets are stuff I wish to get in the short term... and so on so forth. Let's take a look at them again and see what should I do in the upcoming months..

Well, looking at it, I have yet to lose enough fats (as of now, I've even gained more.. sigh) and yet to set up a new business nor visited any new destination. Yes, losing fats is a ever-ongoing goal that has been on my mind for dunno how many donkey years but if i drafted a chart, you could see a sharp drop in 2002, followed by plateaus in 2003-2005 until it begins to slowly creep up in 2006 (luckily it's slower than the STI =x) Here, in 2007, I am 1000% sure it will fall spectacularly, so come on guys, you can start shortselling me. With that, I will again update my image on and off, to give a fresh look to myself. Yeah.. that's the plan... as for the business part... i have yet to find a concrete plan... not too sure to join the FnB or retailing.. these are some industries with the lower barriers to entry..

As for 2007, other plans include becoming a better chef, a better sportsman, and yes, better time management with more discipline... I guess the details I will keep it in my brain but you can take a look at the board expectation column and stuff..

Oh well, I need to go do some preparations for the EOY celebration..... may all of you enjoy a great year ahead. Again, please let me highlight several Jeffirean services available for the new year... they include:

a. Jeffirean Counselling Services.. (though not professional, we offer a really weird perspective to life and maybe you will learn to live better)
