Fine. Have to accept the fact.

It's the chinese new year festive mood again. My cousin, who got married late last year is expecting her first child this year. I am feeling happy of course, it is always nice to have a baby to play with in the family.

But, the fact that i am going to be ' promoted' to be an uncle ( i regard it as a 'demotion') came as a wake up call for me! I have yet to recover from babies calling me uncle from Evelyn's party, and i have to prepare myself to be a 'real' uncle when my cousin's child arrives.

And worse of all, my attempt to pyscho my cousin and family to let my cute nephew/niece to call me 'ah keet kor kor' ( same as what my younger cousins have been calling me) foiled despite my countless appeal.

It's really amazing how fast times files. It seems just yesterday when my cousin and i were receiving ang paos from my family. It was weird receiving ang pao from my cousin yesterday. It will be very soon that my brother will be giving me ang pao ( i hope).

The reality that i am going to be a full fleged uncle status doesn't sound very appealing

Bye Ah keet kor kor, Hello Uncle Keet!

Just came back from Evelyn's Birthday Party.

Happy Birthday, Evelyn!

Well, i was called UNCLE twice during the party. I am feeling sore about it. Damn sore. Do i look like an uncle to anyone??

An uncle is one who has a beer belly/at least have visble wrinkles on their faces. I have none!!

i will force poison into anyone who calls me uncle again!

That aside, I had quite a good time.

Haven't been blogging much these days, busy with school and fyp. I really dun enjoy this last semester and i kinda wishing school will end asap. Perhaps i am getting bored after studying for past 20 years after all.

I know it's probably late for a resolution but i have a sudden urge to list down the things i want to do. Heck, i just like to do what i like.

Getting a career. Enough said and done about this. Not much luck but i am not giving up for sure. I am sure i would be able to do something which excites me and i am motivated to perform my best.

Getting a Class 3 license. I have been postponing this aim for a long time but it's high time i learn to drive.

Pick up tennis in the intermediate level. Personal goal and interest i would say. I kinda know that my level of play has stagnated and i need someone to coach me to develop my skills to a higher level. Can do. Just need a bit of money and time.

Putting aside time to do volunteer work. It's not so much of an aim but it's to mould me into a more complete person i guess. It would be good if i can spare once per month to bring some hope and smile into someone's life.

I guess it's true i have aged to some extent. i probably won't think of some things when i was 16 or 18. My focus and thinking probably evolved as i see and experience more things in life. Yes, i am proud to be a senior but not to show signs of ageing!!
