2.劉關張古城相會

三國時代，劉關張三人投靠袁紹被曹操打散，劉備敗走，關羽與劉備的二位妻子同留曹操處、張飛不知去向，後來關羽得知劉備尚在，即過五關斬六將前往相會，在古城遇見張飛，又打聽到劉備消息將他迎來，三人於古城相會。

so apart from my own decision making, i've sought advices from 3 who are closest to me and finally i've decided to go for it. hopefully, like what the lot says... 此卦衣冠重整之象。凡事先難后易也。
不用憂疑。自有佳期。若問前程。前路可宜。

thanks to all the dearest who have filled me in with helpful information, advice and encouragement!

had a stroll down the street with Mommy and she got a cute pair of spectacles for her presbyopia (老花眼) then NeuNeu drove us to Suntec for the PC Show.

like i was telling Nick, it was crowded like toot.
all u see are human heads and smelling smelly pits.
luckily, NeuNeu already knew what he needed, so it was pretty effortless.

had our late lunches then headed to Carrefour to grab some stuff and headed off.
before getting home, we stopped by 201 to buy lottery, and munchies for work next morning.

and to get myself started, i asked NeuNeu to accompany me for a short jog. and i mean really short.
it was so tiring and uncomfortable, i felt like dying.
but if i were to spend the rest of my life living with high cholesterol and no yummy food, i'd rather die jogging.
oh alright, that's besides the point.

discussed a little on our getaway trip, and i must give NeuNeu the credit for being extremely accommodating.
decided to give to Cambodia a miss this time 'round coz after speaking to the WorldVision official, arrangements to visit Seyha will take around 3 months to complete.
ho hum.

so we're still a little undecided now.
stuck between two choices - a relaxing beach resort or some intense shopping and office-wear stockup at Bangkok?
