a few things that made me really hairpee in the first week of 2006:

ethel came back from the US

talked to my sister online / she is buying birkenstocks for me / she is selected for an exchange programme that she wanted very much

eating carrot cake (the angmoh version) 2 days in a row

eating mummy's homecooked food after horrendously oily camp fare over the new year weekend

had my first driving lesson - mostly spent yakking away with my funny instructor while driving in the rain around the circuit

and finally..

mandy getting the job at hooters!!!

thank God for all of the above. He is good.
