Unlike previous years, this christmas was alittle different to me. It was some weird feeling which I can't describe.
It was raining Cats & Dogs in the morning. As usual, John sent me to work but I only reached office @ 9.15am (it's like 1h 15 mins late!!!), which means John reached office even later than me!!! We were stucked in the traffic along Mandai Road because some trees had fallen down and landed on the 3 lanes. None of the cars were able to move. Some drivers who didn't listen to Class 95 had no idea what caused the congestion. Hence, they got off their car with their umbrellas and made their way to the front to find out what happened. I definitely wouldn't get my butt off the car in such weather!
In fact, many people were late (not that they were stuck @ Mandai). Practically all the expressways have congestion. What's new? It was raining!!!
I am so tempted to take leave and just head home to sleep. Anyway, it was already so late... ... and I am so paisei to arrive late for work :(
MA came back from the medical centre shortly after I reached. He have had fever for many days and doesn't seems to recover even though he had seen the doctor and taken medication – Doctor from hospital said that he was suspected of Dengue! Guess he was still feeling unwell when he came to work so he made an appt to see the MO and was given 1-day MC.
I've served 3 MAs and he is the 1st one who goes on MC when boss is around. *heh* Anyway, boss stayed til about 3pm before going home. I bet he has forgotten that all employees are entitled to work for 4 hrs on Christmas Eve!!!
I went off around 12.30pm and took a ride from Hsi Lyiang to Ms Yeo's house. It has been almost 2 years since I last meet up with her. I have always wanted to pay her a visit during Mooncake festival but never had the time to do so. I was determined to visit her this Christmas and I did it! I bought some gifts for her and her family. We had a chat but I hope we could still chat longer. I have got so much to tell her and I still needed lotsa her advice. She has watched me entered into this society at the age of 19 and seeing me grew up till 28! When she recalled, she also feel that it has been many years and I have definitely changed a lot. She also commented that I have become prettier and I dress better :) Good to hear that. Recently at Choon How's wedding, Sue also complimented that I have become prettier. Why did they only realise now?? *haha.. shameless me* Before I left, we gave me a hug.
I still remember that the first time she gave me a hug was on our last working day and the feeling wasn't good. Saddness crept into me. The 2nd time when she gave me a hug before I took my leave, I was alittle relief but alittle sad at the same time too.
No one was around when I reached home. I began to wrap the remaining pressies and start preparing dinner when everyone came home. There were many more pressies this year for everyone :) I thank Buddha that life is slowly improving for us :)
Johnson helped to prepare the soup of the day while I re-heat the Smoked Chicken, Ham & Saugages. Dinner was good but it could be merrier if we had everyone joining us. Yogi had to return to Ipoh as his brother was getting married on that Sat. My brother had to meet his friends for Christmas dinner.
After dinner, it was Santa's time! Santa is supposed to give out pressies to everyone at home :) Mavis bought me a Piglet. *Hehe* I had actually pestered her to buy me one since my b'day in Nov this year! I love the Piglet very much because it is from my lovely Princess!!!
Little Joy had a pressie from us too. I believed she loves her new toy very much too :)
After Santa's time, each of us had a Magnum Ice Cream! *Yum Yum* We began to snack, drank beer (while Johnson had his Raspberry Volka *Yucks* and Mavis sipped on her F&N Grape) and watched TV.
Lastly, Thank you Santa Casper for taking the trouble to purposely make a trip over to my place on Christmas eve night to distribute pressies to us!!! :)
