Season Greetings: 2007

The decoration at the entrance for the apartment we lived in was completed 2 weeks ago. It looked really nice and I took the kids there at night to take a few picutres. Snap, snap, and smiles. Did they look natural?? Let the picture speaks itself. Every year end seemed so busy, but this year it's kind of quiet. Perhaps it's because I am not that keen in participate for all kinds of gatherings, else I will be out almost every night for alcohols. Feel the aging thing in me when come to groups. By next mid January it will turn one year with the current company that I am working now. It has changed a lot after I joined, in a good way. I like it, and the people that I work with, they are nice. No bad guys, though sometimes some moments people tend to act odd. It happens everywhere, so it's no big deal. . . . You see, I really have nothing to write about! And Why the reason I am typing such? Merry Christmas for those who celebrate it, and happy holidays to everyone! Will be getting the stuff to make fruitcakes today.

Preparing for Christmas-to-Come

All the while, we never really decorate for Christmas, because we are not Christian. Well, we did once, I think it was after we got kids, just to have dreams for the kids, placing presents under the tree thing, but the kids didn't really understand what it was, so it was us that were excited about Christmas rather than the kids. This year, we are helping at our mansion. So, it isn't that sinful, huh? Yet, while helping out for decoration, I still wonder if I should get one to do the decoration. Since the kids have grown bigger (we the adults have not grown up from kids though!), I guess they can understand the fun of it. But, this year, two girls will go to grandma's house for holidays. So, I guess we will save the money and may be go for hotspring or for good meal at the end of the year.

Gone the 2006, Comes the 2007

We moved to a new apartment just before Christmas. Using the new year bank holidays, we managed to settled down by now. Lots of things still waiting for our unpacking management, most probably it will be left for a while, or forever. I baked fruitcake on 2nd of Jan instead of last year before Christmas. The main reason was because we were preparing for moving and was not in the mood of Christmas. At last I made it. This tradition has been on for five years.
As it says, it's better late than never! Long story, all about Fruitful Crops.
