December wisher

The temperature in Singapore has fallen to a minimum of 24 degrees, it is our "winter" season. No flakes of snow, supposedly the winter rain is here. Still, you wouldn't see much people covering in coats or sweaters. Having experienced a colder spring in London, I've began to like cooler weather. Heat just melts me at a rapid rate like an exposed ice cube. December weather will most likely be the same, just right for Xmas. It's a pity Singapore will never snow... I'm waiting for an opportunity to spend a white Xmas someday.

I've taken 9 days off next month. One week I'm flying to Bangkok, my third trip out of the country. It is somehow weird, I'm not traveling with my family or friends. But two cousins and an uncle. I'm looking forward to the unexpected, traveling with new people. Another stretch of period will be from Christmas day till New year day. I made a quick count and there should be only 13 working days for me. Two weeks. It does seem short since I'll not be in the office for over 3 weeks till 2004. I've a surprise present ready a resignation letter, which I'm still pondering if I should make it as a Christmas present.

For the last two years, we have made it a habit of exchanging Xmas presents among friends and family. Though it's more of giving when it comes to my family, I'm still asserting my parents should not live their life through only traditional Chinese values. Home parties are not very common practices here, but I'd like to see it as a norm sometimes.

I'm still anticipating for a call, to collect my newly custom made pink ethnic blouse...
