Christmas in a few days' time

It's that time of the year again. Christmas will be here in a few days' time and the festive mood now hangs in the air. In a short while more, year 2007 will silently fade away, to be forever tucked in a minute corner of our minds, as did all the years that had passed before, while we busy ourselves in ushering the new year.

I haven't been able to blog frequently as my internet connection was down for the past 2 weeks. Now in the midst of job hunting and participating in the upcoming festive season, I had kept myself busy.

The last few days of my attachment coincided with a Christmas bash by my attachment company. Had plenty of good food in and out, and somehow I happened to patronize Sakae Sushi at Icon Building for 3 consecutive days. Each visit was with different ladies, and I believed the cashier had recognized me. Took some online test and got labeled as THE FLIRT, gosh!!!

Very budgeted meal at Sakae Sushi with a colleague:

With pretty ghost, I guessed she must have been waiting for this picture for some time:

Speaking of Christmas, there were some gift exchanges. For some reason, I had been cracking my head over what gift to purchase, and in the end, I got this:

I wonder what would the recipient's reaction be.

The other day, I was at Orchard with some friends. One of them casually commented that I'm in a way diplomatic, much to my astonishment. On some reflection thereafter, I probably agreed.

Unknowingly, I've changed into being diplomatic. I still remember the trivial tiff in my friend's car then, and I, surprisingly, stood on the fence, leaving the "victim" fuming for a while, and the rest cheering. Conventionally I would point out the outright wrong, but I chose not to then. Maybe I have become more cautious and timid.

Another friend remarked I would always have something nice and soothing to say about something or somebody. Sometimes I feel like a little hypocrite. Barely a few months ago, I couldn't believe I would speak and act in such manner, but lately it had always been the case. Hmm, have I really changed?
