It’s been awhile, I know.
What have I done, you asked. Well, let me count the days.

Holidays spent.
We went around Auckland suburbs to look at houses that participated in the annual Christmas Lights Spectacular contest in December 2007. There are some amazing displays every year! These people spent months and months planning for the competition to keep the Christmas spirit up! The lightings are usually up for over a month and you’d see people queuing outside with kids getting candies from the host. Very festive indeed!
Family rejoiced.
Both my parents and in-laws visited from November 2007 through to January 2008. We had a delightful time enjoying the company of our parents. What magical times!
Places revisited.
We took a trip to the beautiful garden city Christchurch again in November 2007. The serenity of the Cathedral never seizes to amaze me. Since we’re already in the area, someone proposed to go to the nearby small town of Kaikoura, which is famous for whale watching. Did we see any whales you ask. Well, let’s just say at the end of the day, there were 4 very seasick people and leave it at that. Heh.
Dream concert realised.
On 9 Jan 2008, Auckland witnessed the powerhouse of the Asian superstar, Jacky Cheung. After a logistical delay, we finally got to enjoy what could only be described as the sound of an angel. It was a dream come true for me as I’ve always wanted to go to his concert after having grown up listening to his songs. It was totally mind-boggling and heart-warming. We were simply overwhelmed. A great night to remember.
Places visited.
Mr K and I visited Taiwan for the first time in February 2008 and spent 11 days in Tainan, Hualian and Taipei. We celebrated Chinese New Year there with my parents for the first time in about 7 years. It was a great trip filled with little surprises. I’ll write about the trip in a separate post.
Festival celebrated.
Friends cherished.
In March 2008, a dear friend from Malaysia visited and brought along such warm and fond memories. Love you SY! Looking forward to your next visit! 
Seasons changed. Blog kaki missed. 
Time goes by so quickly, almost half of 2008 has gone by before you could say ‘boo’. I’ve been doing great. Well, at least I try to. How have you been? My dear friends. Yes, I am back and ready to share snippets of my life with you again.
