It's the Christmas season.

Many thoughts have been swimming around in my head the past weeks but now, as I try to put them down in words, I don't know where to start. So many thoughts. The end of yet another year. I's overwhelming having to experience the multitude of emotions that comes with the reflections.

Like many other people, I am sick at this time of the year. It's a bit disappointing because there's plenty of celebrating and shopping to do and I can't seem to find the energy when I can't sleep or eat well. So many presents to buy and so many cards to write. Big headache.

There's the department party tomorrow night where people are supposed to go dressed in Christmas colours (red/green etc.) or Santa/Santarina/elves' costumes. I was thinking it would be fun to go in a costume but I think it's a waste of money buying a costume which would probably earn me some unwanted attention and then gather dust in my cupboard.

Wows! A mosquito just flew past and scared me.

Anyway, I got a few surprises this week. It was first Couz who asked me to meet her so she could pass me her present. Then a thank-you X'mas card from this member of the public whom I had helped early this year which made me happy for about half the day (hahaha. Buddy was amused at how little it took to make me happy). Then it was the Broadway Christmas carol at the Arts house which was highly entertaining and I had a great, great time with Au. It was a really surreal experience meeting a friend for the first time though and I was quite lost. Then late at night, H sent me this saying he was going away for a long holiday and just wanted to wish me first. Today, there were four presents plus sweet cards and notes from the folks at the office (V, Y, Au and D), and an sms from Danielle (whom I have not met since JC) to wish me. Seems like 15 Dec is a special day and it isn't even Saturday yet. It was a really heartwarming feeling but at the same time, I try not to think too much of it.

Talk more about this feeling in my next entry.

p.s. The mentors didn't meet up tonight as KL couldn't make it and we thought it would be better to meet another time.
