Merry X'mas!//Listening to: Wham - Last ChristmasIt has been a long time since I last blogged. I almost thought this blog is dying, like the previous one.Anyway, here goes.Merry Christmas!!!
It has been a busy week, with the wedding dinner, company Christmas dinner, section gathering and so on. Received lots of presents, even red wine which I've not thought of any event to utilise it. Perhaps the upcoming New Year then.
As years go by, Christmas has become a nondescript event to celebrate. We do the same things every year. Watching movies, fine dining, ktv, hanging out with friends and so on. Then we go to Orchard where people are like sardines and see lots of kids spraying confetti or "snow" on strangers and wonder how the cleaners are going to clean up the place later on.
The thing about these "kids" spraying "snow" I do not understand. They spray it on strangers like nobody's business. Strangers whom they do not even say hi to on normal days. For instance, I saw a mob of kids spraying tons of "snow" on this ang moh guy while he was waiting for the traffic lights to turn green. Unfortunately, he fell prey as he was stuck while waiting. As soon as the lights turned green, he fled for life.
Then, I saw another mob of kids (notice I say kids because I think they are childish, or perhaps I'm old), spraying tons of "snow" on this poor taxi which was also waiting for the traffic lights. The "snow" literally covered all the window panes on the taxi, which made it become a "snow taxi".
Anyway, that's not the point. The point is, doing such a childish act would pose a hazard on the road. Think of the poor taxi driver who could not watch the roads properly because his window is covered in snow.
Childish kids I say.
Then again, I would not mind if you were sabotaging your friends. Friends meaning, people you hang out with often, people who know this is a joke and would not blame you. After all, it's all in the name of fun.
All that said, Christmas is still my favorite holiday. =D
For now, let's see some pictures before I meet my chums for yet another session of fine dining.

So there. Watch out this space for the last post of 2004! And perhaps more pictures to come, if I'm not lazy that is.
Enjoy your weekend.
