Christmas...
Went to my uni friend's baby full-month party on 17Dec, was reminded that we have known each other for 10 years!!! Yup, it has been 10 years since we entered uni, and we are now leading our own lives, many of them married & with kids. How time really flies...
Had Christmas lunch with my colleagues last Friday in office, was a simple thing with plenty of food, gift exchanges and kids running about. The office looks like a childcare centre then.. :) But it was fun, a nice end to the year, since many of them will be on leave till next year!!!
It was a very peaceful Christmas for me this year. Was lazing at home on Christmas eve, watching the Korean drama "my royal princess", & on Christmas a short trip to raffles city, some shopping then back to my VCDs again... Got me thinking about how I used to celebrate Christmas with my uni hostel friends: we will usually gather at a friend's place (her parents will very kindly stay away for the night for us to create havoc), whip up a few dishes, exchange gifts and spent the night playing games like hide & seek, card games & "Truth or Dare".. Those were the days when we don't have to think much about commitments, money or anything of that nature... but now it is very difficult to even have a gathering since most of them have set up their own family and have a lot more commitments. How I miss those days...
