Rant & Raves

It’s just another Christmas. For me, Christmas is just another public holiday, but this time it is special because I have someone special to spend a wonderful Christmas with me. Believe it or not, this is the very first time that my girlfriend spend Christmas with me.

Another wonderful thing happened during this Christmas is that a friend of mine, Allen, came from Singapore so we hung out at Sungai Wang Plaza on Sunday afternoon. Trust me, avoid Sungai Wang Plaza at all cost during the weekend and festive seasons (public holidays). The traffic was really bad, and then it rained! The traffic turned from bad to ultra bad. And then that damn place was so crowded, as if those people are deprieved from shopping and all of them just rushed there. Damn!

Anyway, about this Allen. He is a hunk. He is tall, very handsome, witty, funny, gentle and kind at the same time. Too bad girls, he’s married to a lovely woman. Anyway, this is not an advertising space, so let’s move on.

This is actually the very first time that we met. We knew each other through Internet Relay Chat (IRC) on DALnet for many years, and both of us were in the States last time. Anyway, we talked on DALnet almost daily, and we formed a close friendship. Not many years ago, he went back to Singapore and we lost touch right after that.

Luckily, I stumbled upon his blog space [website] (thanks to Jason!) and then we started talking again. (PS: Bro, I keep advertising your page, you gotta give me some fee! :P)

It was a wonderful experience and it was like we had known each other for ages. Tonight I will be meeting him and his wife again for dinner before he goes back to Singapore tomorrow.
