2009 - a New Year has begun. May it be a healthy and prosperous year.

Although I like the idea of journalling, I’m not so great at it. When I have to think about what to write, it doesn’t really come naturally. When I’m just thinking about out loud (yes … I guess I do talk to myself …), on the other hand, the words just flow, and by the time I’ve realized that I should have written it all down, the words are no longer stuck in my head and I’ve forgotten what I’ve just said.

So, having said that, here goes …

To sum up the first 19 days of January –
It was really cold! Hey, that is what winter is all about, the cold weather and hoping for an earlier Spring.



January 3, 2009 – Bowling here we come!



Every year, on the first Saturday, we participate in an annual bowling tournament. It all started in the year 2003. I actually won a trophy in 2004! It is a great way to see family and friends over the holidays, and also to have some fun. After the tournament, trophies & medals are awarded to the winners of the tournament. Certificates of participation are also presented to each player. Oh yeah … and to preserve the memory, we have a group photo taken. The group just gets bigger and bigger every year!

After the tournament, we’re off to Restaurant Fu Lam for a dinner gathering (it’s optional … hey, you gotta eat, right? I’d be too tired to cook). We eat, chat, and eat some more.
