I'm in my shop now, it's 5am and i just finish sorting out a set of wedding photos that i took 2 weeks ago. And i owe them the prints. Tommorrow is going to be a busy day, a trip to the carpenters, then to send in the cds for printing, send a package to Dublin to a couple that i took wedding pictures in dec... and then other stuffs to do at the shop.

I was just at alywin's place earlier at night, delivering my prawn paste chicken that i promised. I don't even know if anyone ate them. Or rather if anyone cared. Oh whatever, i guess i've done my part as a friend, in the ways that i think should be right. And if they can't accept me for who i am, then forget it. Alywin, if you're reading this, all the best for your trip to australia. I really do wished i was there at your dinner, but as you know circumstances - like what you said - doesn't permit it to happen. It's okie really. You've been really nice and understanding all this while; and i totally appreciate all that you've done. Mel too thinks that you're such the nice guy, and we both thank you for sticking around for us. Anyway, my deepest thanks to you, my friend, and i'll always be sticking ard for you too.

Sel, thanks for coming out to say hi to us, it meant something to me and mel. It's a pleasure having you as a friend who sees the both sides of a coin before deciding. Thanks for extending your invitation to stay a while longer. And thanks for coming down to my shop that day, when i wasn't there. It was busy, and i was held up somewhere else. Appreciate it fully.

It's been a tiring few days since i got back from thailand. But it's getting better. I'm re-building my darkroom and things are moving as planned.

I was at adrian's place last nite fer dinner. Things were not surprisingly awkward; there was your fair share of absolutely childish behaviour, and your nice people. In anycase, i've tried, and i guess i haven't done anything wrong. If all the narrow heads are remaining narrow, then let them be. I figured it's not worth being hurt, by the stupid actions of others. If i'm not respected as a friend, then forget pretending and being PR about it. Let me know, sort it out if neccessary and move on - as simple as that. I think ultimately, it takes courage to be honest, and cowardace to put a false mask on. It's simple stupid.

Thanks to adrian and his parents for hosting the wonderful dinner, and letting us have a smashin good time with the x-box.

Happy Chinese New Year, The rooster year. My year.
