Merry Christmas Eve!

I love Christmas, particularly Christmas eve night, when you have your wonderful friends with you for a nice meal and cozy gathering. It must be the most important evening for me, for the entire year. And even more important than my own wedding. I can always smell the love, friendship and fun under the Christmas Tree!

Those are the food we have and some pictures I have taken. I can't wait for the next one to come!

Hmmm, time to control spendings :)

Today there was an Ermenegildo Zegna sale in my office building of up to 70%. I can't help but bought a shirt, nothing too expensive. Then I realised I bought another white elephant :) It is ok but in turbulent times like this, it is better to hold cash than white elephants. Next time, I will control bah :)

Life has certainly many ups and downs. All the rainy seasons will come to a stop, and we are not alone. So let's not get too worried and upset as they are not within our controls. Let's hold our hands together and celebrate this Christmas happily :)

My words to a lost friend and another wonderless teenage girl

Both of you are smart people, but you refuse to see what is ahead. You knew the obstacles ahead, but you chose take the easy way. You have the sword in your hands, but you tend to let your inner-self betray you. Many have succeeded in overcome their own problems and rise to be successful in their lives, so can you. Provided you try! Your future is bright, but don't avoid it because you are not the ones who have the downs of the day.

For me, I will also take the remaining weeks of this year to do some soul-searching and ensure another good year in 2009. Gambarimasho.

Happily Ever After

This entry is specially for my friend A-Wonder & Steve, on their special day, and happily every after!

Happy Christmas Present

Christmas is a time for presents. There is always hope and love in this beautiful season.

I was not expecting much for the next 12 months, considering the gloom around us. But there is always a ray of light amidst the cloud, and I got a big surprise today. Something I didn't dare to dream of. My heart really popped out when I opened this present. I will cherish it, knowing that I am the lucky few. Suddenly, I am happy and relieved.....

Cheers, everyone!

(My apologies if I am not able to reveal this surprise, but the message here is, there is always hope, even when things seems to turn bad.)

The Sword in The Stone

In the above story, the young boy used his bravery to pull out the sword. 2008 is a year of disasters, be it earthquake or terrorist attack or the financial turmoil, as we are nearing December, let's all take out the sword and cast away the evils and the negativities..... and of course, have a nice Christmas, filled with hope, love and dreams.....

If we cannot solve those problems, leave it, take a rest for the year, and fight again in 2009!

3 MORE WEEKS TO CHRISTMAS.....

I was tempted to buy this from disneyoutlet online, but I have successfully resisted it. I am happily proud to claim that I have been saving all this while. I will conserve my reserves for Hong Kong trip this year end. I will see no snow, but G-san and me will enjoy a cooling weather.

We have a long weekend this week. I have not gone out at all, but lazing through the weekend. It is raining outside now, and the cool weather makes it feels like a nice december afternoon (and G-san is sleeping soundly on the couch now) :P
