Is Santa Coming?
With the financial crisis, major companies folding up, retrenchment woes, frozen salaries, no hope for bonus... I told myself, SANTA IS NOT COMING this year.
Well, I was wrong. He came.
Santa has crept to our house (the Christmas tree), booked our schedules (parties) and brighten up our lives for the month of December.
All of a sudden, the urge to buy presents came back, just that it came a tad too late (usually November for me). Well, I always feel for Christmas especially when I started buying presents and wrapping them up myself. I remembered I started Christmas shopping, as early as Nov, but this year, the mood didn't came until early December. When all the malls start to get squeezy and when the rain starts pouring for days without stopping.
Now, that feels like Christmas. A rainy, wet Christmas like every other year.
And not forgetting the jam-packed Orchard Road. It takes forever to park my car in Taka.
There isn't much of a Christmas mood for work yet, everyone is rushing for deadline, caught up in rat race. In fact we have a few major milestones and testing to be carried out on eve of Christmas. That is how sad for work.
Nevertheless, yes, Christmas is finally coming when one started to attend parties, lined up parties, organize parties etc. This year is no exception. Exciting, no less. On 14 Dec, we had an early christmas dinner with Dylan, Emily and bb Jayden at Kuinshin Bo, followed by a night on the overrated Singapore Flyer. We were all thrilled about the flight cause, we have not been to any of such flyer before and hearing all the raves and hype about the flyer, heighten our expectation, undoubtedly. However, when we went up there, nothing but just breathtaking views. Breathtaking views that can be also seen from a cable car, so why flyer, which in fact is more costly.
Anyway, can't complain much cause they were compliementary tickets from Emily plus, the wonderful company from the family. So what can we ask for?
20 Dec, an unexpected invitation. Kevin was invited by his long term customer whose husband is a pilot with the SIA. At this moment, we were still cracking our brains to think of what to buy for the host.
21 Dec, friends reunion. it is almost like an annual tradition event that the "usual suspects" gather at my abode, pig-out, indulge in glorious food, get juiced up (No way!) and snatch presents from one another.
25 Dec, church service and parties goes on...
More update to come.
Meantime, here's some pics at the flyer.
