Christmas

Merry Christmas to you!

My mood has certainly recovered a little. I went out shopping with my mum last Saturday to AMK Hub. Although I didn't get anything for myself, we bought a lot of food home. We also met up my brother, who got off work to eat at New York New York.

On Sunday, I met up with my JC friends at Sentosa. I am no longer crazy over getting tanned. In contrast, I am trying to avoid sun these days. However, for the sake of the company, I went down to Sentosa. I do enjoy watching them play beach volleyball, while I just chat and rest.

I stayed for a few hours only though because I made an appointment to meet a good friend for Golden Compass, a movie I always wanted to watch this December. I think if you don't hold too much expectation on this movie, you will enjoy the show better. Luckily, we watched the movie at The Cathay. It was not too crowded for my liking. After the movie, my friend accompanied me to buy some cards for my colleagues at PS. We then headed to City Hall for some drinks at Starbucks (the new one at Raffles City, which we managed to find seats).

Then I went to the northeast of Singapore (Kovan and Hougang area) to meet up my JC mates (including those who went Sentosa and those who didn't) at Hougang Mall for dinner. It's been a long time since I met most of them, so it was enjoyable catching up on one another's latest updates in life.

I must say the whole weekend was certainly fulfiling. I truly enjoy myself.

There was a festive mood at work on Monday. A few of the graduate trainees, including me were like Santa Claus, giving out cards and gifts. Although someone irritated me in the morning, I made a discovery after lunch. I had a short briefing session with one of my colleagues, which lasted only 15 min. We ended up chatting about Latin America and Spanish for another fifteen minutes. He is a Japanese expatriate, who studied in an university in Spain. That's so cool! He only took Spanish for a half a year, but when he speaks in the language, he certainly sounds fantastic. He was jokingly saying that his Spanish is probably better than his English. It just got me excited that I found someone who can speak fluent Spanish at work because it's SPANISH! Ok, I admit I am a little obsessed over the language. I really want to return to learn Spanish soon.
