I just checked my diary from pre-Christmas onwards right up to Chinese New Year and my goodness, I have so many gatherings and yumcha sessions to attend that the only thought that crossed me mind is that I will be FAT. A lot fatter than I am now.

Actually, these dates were set a long time ago, with friends coming back to Ipoh from other states and even overseas and I told them that I really can't tell if I would be free then. Just let me know when YOU will be available and if I could make it, I will let you know a day or two before.

As you know, my work the hours I work are so erratic, I really couldn't tell the future so far ahead and it would be bad if I am absent from these, that's why I am never the organizer. LOL

In any case, even if I join them, I would probably keep thinking of pending work, or the income that I am going to lose. Maybe it's a good opportunity to take a break but my pocketbook will suffer!
