Usually by end of Nov, I would perhaps have my list of presents ready.
However, for this year, it’s a little bit different.
The list is not yet even halfway ready!
My schedule for this year seemed to be “packier” than last year or even year before last.
The month of November and December has seen me packed with training and meetings at work.
After being trained, I have to come back to my clinic to train the rest.
I feel quite ding-donging. Sometimes, I don’t even remember whether am I on duty at clinic or supposed to be in another clinic for training!
At the same time, end of the year is usually THE time for meet ups – the ONCE a year type of meet ups!
Over the past couple of weeks, I have been meeting my old friends from Poly, Uni & Hope Brisbane.
Can you imagine the “hoo-ha” when we met up?
Minus away the hugs (Cause primarily, we Asians are shy), questions were thrown all over the floor!
The meet up with my Polytechnic friends is like a session of “Mummies & Daddies” catch up.
My friend wanted to bring along his kiddo and that got me SO excited!
However the bad news is she can’t come. Well, next time!
Though the kiddo didn’t come, it doesn’t mean we don’t have “Parents” talk!
We talked about the Education system, OUR growing up years, Media impacting lives, Diapers, etc.
I simply can’t contribute much about the diapers part since the ONLY hands on I had was 2 weeks back! My FIRST time changing a diaper & it’s the VERY advanced PULL up type so how difficult can it be?
Just the weekend that just passed, I met up my Brisbane friends at Parkway Parade.
Poor Edward who came along was bullied by 5-sharp-tongued gals!
We questioned him till he blushed! Thankfully, he is very good-natured!
It is amazing how time & NS can change a person. One year ago, he looked so boyish. One year later, we were awed by his handsome, hard & well-defined face.
We are still the crazy gang. Though the memory of Brisbane is slowly fading, the friendship that we share still goes on strong. Nothing changed.
We have a fun time exchanging presents and opening it up.
I shared with mummy about how time really flies.
When I was a kid about 3-5yrs of age, I remember my mum will always bring me & sister to dinners/lunches to meet her friends.
I felt at this moment, it’s NOW our generation to bring OUR kids (not that I have) to meet our friends!
Gosh… Time flies!
I took a break and went to JB yesterday. Sort of needed to be out of Singapore, have a good time with my friend and THOUGHT I could do some shopping for myself.
After seeing the stuffs, I still can’t bear to part with my cash.
I don’t wish for the time to come when I am jobless (IF I am jobless) next year then realized that “Aiya! I shouldn’t have bought this & that!”
Ok… Some say I am a worrier.
Some say I am a planner.
Whichever can be true…! Haha!! I am quite a little of BOTH!
Neber mind! There will be NEXT YEAR! Haha!!!!
Now, I can’t wait for next Sat’s Unit event. Seeing a lot of our friends saying Yes to our invitation. And with the Christmas deco up in church already, I am already feeling the Christmas mood!
Oh… Speaking of that, it’s time to put MY Christmas tree out in my living room!
Anyway, I have yet prepared my Emcee speech.
I REALLY hope that this time, I won’t blush again.
And I really hope that it will be more successful than 3 years back!
Haha!!!
I must say, looking back, I have grown a TINY WITSY WEENY bit braver, stronger and calmer in respect to speaking in crowds.
That’s my life the last couple of weeks in a NUTSHELL!
Below are a few favourite photos I’ve grown to love over the weeks.
This star has captured my heart totally! I find myself looking forward to seeing him weekly. Amazing things how kids can capture anybody’s heart.
This is the LONG awaited photos from last year’s meet up. All of them are my churchmates from Brisbane.
Now, am waiting for this year’s photo. Hmm… I wonder do I have to wait till next year!
