Paddling furiously into the new year... without oars or a boat

Bleh, didn't go white water rafting. But did have a fun night out with friends at the National Press Club on the eve of New Year's eve... it was like a blogger's community what with the list of poeple who came are all from TV's messenger list! Haha. Of course there were journos too and one particular one was so drunk that he was really, really enjoying himself. Good for him! Unlike me, who was sober the WHOLE night coz I couldn't drink anything alcoholic. Why, you ask? Well, in my anticipation for the white water rafting trip and knowing that my period was due on the same day... yeap, I took pills to stay the floodgates. ARGH! Then when I ended up not going on this trip because one by one, my friends pulled out, as Tom had to cancel his plans because his dad was admited into the hospital, until there were just me, Estella and Midnitelily left in the original 9! WTF man... and we are girls and we were willing to go even without Tom! Blech.

Well, anyway, even without alcohol, I managed to enjoy myself as there were good company. God knows what I would have done, if I was bored and sober. Take up chain-smoking maybe. I was bored initially, but then when the group started drinking and throwing back vodka *ahem ahem, you now who you are*, things got really interesting. We had porno stuff like a lip-lock, chair humpings, lewd self-touching, and lewd others touching. Haha. We had dancing lessons from a guy who is a Senior Manager at a resort by day who moonlights as a dance instructor by night. We had rock music that got everyone's hips swaying, and we had snacks to fuel us for more serious fun. Finally fell into bed at 7am. Felt so tired. I'm getting old.

So you can understand why I'm still pissed about this. Firstly, I put myself into a freakin' state of hormonal imbalance AND I denied myself alcohol on a New Year's eve EVE celebration with friends! Such sacrifices and I didn't get to go white water rafting. *STOMP STOMP STAMP STAMP JUMP JUMP SCREAM* ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Ok, ranting and throwing fit session over.

So, today, we had to do a major house cleaning session as my new fridge will be coming in later on this weekend and we SERIOUSLY had to throw out a lot of stuff to make way for the new tank. And Omigawd, the things we unearthed... eewwwwwwWWWW! We are talking serious shit here... dead lizards, cockroaches spilling out of boxes, tons of lizard shit behind cupboads, and lots and lots of asthma-inducing dust. It was like opening Pandora's Box, where all the ills of the world came crawling out. @_@

We managed to only clean half. Will be doing the next half this Sat. *sigh* wonder what else we are gonna find...

THEN, when we threw all the junk and garbage out (read: Packed, tied NEATLY into plastic bags and propped and stacked against the fence), my NEIGHBOUR came and RUMMAGED through the piles! She started pulling everything out in her quest to look for god knows what! My sister yelled and quickly went out to stop her. She says she's just looking for "Watson plastic bags" the faker. In the end, my sister made as though to come out when she started making a mess, she quickly said, "See, no mess, just looking for Watson plastic bags... no mess..." And she quickly stuffed everything back and hurried off. Maybe she's really poor and she needs to do this. But we think that maybe she could be missing a few nuts up there. *tap tap* Lord,now we know why our garbage is always torn up and thrown about some days. We thought it was the dogs. Now we know.
