This Christmas has been a somewhat quieter christmas.It came and went like the wind and honestly maybe its because I am getting older but christmas doesnt seem so sentimental to me anymore.It is still special though.This year was different.A bit different.As usual,had mom's birthday celebration on the eve.Went to a damn nice jap restaurant as a change instead of western food and inflated prices.The different part this year was doin the countdown to christmas at Cherie toh's hse.It was a nice change to see her family stay up till 12 and open their presents.haha.Its my first time at her annual christmas get together.Just spent time talking and catching up.It was good to see all of them after a long while.
Christmas in church was somewhat nostalgic.The same old familiar thing every year.I never tire of hearing how christmas is about a baby born in a manger.Seeing the younger kids exchange presents brought back memories of how I used to spend so much time writing cards and making presents of the whole world.As I grew older,the circle of close friends grew smaller and I didnt have so much effort.Thinking about it,I almost wanted to not write cards this year.But decided against it.
Watched Family Stone with Joel and Serene after service.It was a damn messy movie,where there are so many subtle hints to the plot that you dont know where the story is going.It was supposed to be a story surrounding relationships and christmas but I guess the writer sort of lost focus with the plot.Spent the night having dinner with the family and then went down to Zouk with the guys.Met this british guy from Leeds who is like travelling around the world,backpacking with friends.Supposedly our age.Quite cool talking to him and like finding out what makes our 2 cultures diff.
Its been a good christmas nonetheless,one spent with family and friends.Something old,yet something new.It came and went too fast.Cant wait for next christmas!
