So, I thought I could get back to my so-called normal blogging schedule after Pink for October, but no, I realized I haven’t had the luxury to write any decent blog posts in November. Blogging used to come so naturally to me during those days when I did not have to work on the computer for 8-straight-hours.

Anyway, a lot of things have happened in past month, and for the same reason, November seemed to pass me by so quickly.

First of all, we organized a Turtle Research and Rehabilitation Group Annual Reunion at Aquaria KLCC on Nov 5th. Some 60 ex-volunteers turned up at the reunion, and we had some light dinner, a live auction and we managed to raise about RM 1.5K (gross) on that day :D The next day, I attended a National Sea Turtle Symposium held at Legend Hotel by the Department of Fisheries, and after the symposium, I took an evening bus back to Melaka.

I then spent the following weekend in Genting Highlands, catching up with Mum and my cutie pie sister who wanted to watch Hacken Lee’s concert, paid some “tuition fees” at the casino and donated a lot of money to the machines at the arcade, playing basketball, LOL. Oh, and we also went Karaoke-ing.

I went to Penang to attend a friend’s wedding dinner on Nov 22nd, and upon arriving in Penang, Mum called to inform me about my maternal grandmother’s passing. She was 86. The wake — my second ever since I know what death was — lasted for 3 nights, and after a combination of Buddhist-and-Taoist rites, we buried my grandmother on Nov 24th.

The rest of the month was spent creating a database using Microsoft Access and of course, data entry. We have been accumulating a lot of research data since 2004, and I am determined to have them all entered into the database before the next season begins in January 2009 (otherwise there will be more work next year).

So how did your November go? :)
