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

Sweet December

I love December since young. It has always been always a nice month, leading to Christmas, followed by New year's eve. I told G-san, that Christmas Eve, is the most important day to me in each year, even more than my birthday. This is a day of love, celebration, coziness and warmth. Of course, I love the snow, the Christmas spirit, the holiday season...... This year, I will not see snow, but I am still looking forward to my year-end holiday, as long as it is not in hot Singapore. Hmmmm, I can really smell Christmas now.

Christmas started in Madeira in 2008

Christmas is here, G-san and me have managed to put up the decorations.... let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

DVD weekend

I have been watching so many shows lately, lazing at home and enjoying the air-conditioning while watching. And I am a greedy person, so I am in the middle of several shows:

English Televisions:
Weeds 3: Starting 3rd season. It is funny and not soapy.
Lipstick Jungle: Finished 1 episode only
Grey's Anatomy 4: Finished 10 of 17 episodes, my all-time favourite. I am taking my time in these as I have to wait for 1 year for Season 5.
Ugly Betty 1: I am at episode 5 now.
Ally Mcbeal 2 : Left with 1 disc (it took me 1 year to reach this :) )

Cantonese dramas: I am in between Moonlight Resonance and Beautiful 7th days.

I think I still prefer English DVDs because of the clever and witty plots. Cantonese dramas tends to drag and it is time consuming - I realised the reason I watched is due to nostagic reasons being a cantonese.

How did I manage to watch so many dramas? During the travelling time from office to home evening of course helps.......

Christmas spirit in early October.....

Suddenly, in Singapore, we can smell Christmas before the last week of October. Retailers are trying to remind us of Christmas spending before the global economic conditions declines further. Good for Singaporeans, at least, I still read that the travel fair this week is still doing robustly well and people are still purchasing electrical products like before, at least, it is not as grey as the Americans or the Europeans.

Right now, being prudent is good and cash is king. So let's all look forward to a nice Christmas, and forget the economic woes bah.

This week is a short 4-day week, hooray!

(This is my Christmas tree in 2004..... I am looking forward to putting it up again)
