Christmas!!!

It's finally here! And it's been a long time since I last posted here. So many things to write, but I don't know where to start and which ones to include in this post.

I'm starting to feel the pressure of treating everyone in my family because (1) I've just received my bonus, and (2) I've just received my bonus. It's not that big, though, compared to some of my older officemates whose bonuses have already reached the 'taxable' state (but I've heard some complains 'coz the tax is too high). Anyway, contrary to what people say of me as kuripot, I'm now more of a buyer than a saver, so it's ok with me if the whole bonus is gone by the 1st of January next year.

Last night I went to my second Christmas party, this time with my batchmates in college (the first one was with the company-that-must-not-be-named that I work for) and... honestly, I didn't enjoy it that much compared to last year where we really had loads of fun. I could think of a number of reasons for that: (1) One of my classmate's mom just passed away last week, (2) Many peeps didn't make it this time, (3) The venue hasn't changed (we were planning on holding it out-of-town, but due to unavoidable circumstances, we had to settle with holding it at Tin Tan's house again, which is the best venue next to an out-of-town venue). Nevertheless, I'm glad to see them again. Hope that the summer trip will push through next year.
