Seeking Solace

I had so many things to blog about, but couldn't find the time. Now that I have got time, I don't know what to blog about. This week has been a little mad with work and all. I took a little time off to do volunteer work with dearest Yilin, shop with Florence and spent time with Xinni.

Cousin (Female) power!

Please don't tell others if you know we took this inside a neoprint machine. Oops.

And then we changed the background... lol

PS: And Mr Nasa, if you are reading this, when will it be our 'cousin power'? Chinese New Year 2007 ah?

Then there is the volunteer work with Yilin. We went to those single unit flats and held this 'party' for the elderly. I was thoroughly amused when I saw them groving. read: grooving. They dance better than so many people I know. Then there was also this 94 woman that sheded tears that I almost cried with her. I think that a person after 60 should only shed tears of joy, not sadness or regret. In a way, it is extremely heart-wrenching.

We were supposed to shop but we were too tired and I ended up at Lot 1 helping out at the roadshow. For those who didn't see me at work, thank god. By 5+, my smiles were so pretentious that even I got disgusted. Of course, I was even more turned off by the number of nose-digging shoppers. They didn;t stop until they felt their fingers poking out through their eyes through the nose. The number is shocking and I would have counted them out of boredom if not for half of them being mainlanders and the super kiasu anuties that insisted on getting freebies, even the displays.

Anyway, as mentioned, I went to help out and Yilin too. Hardly a voluteer work, but she felt sorry for Cecilia, so she led the mascot and sort of pretended that she was back at Disney Land again.

Then there was the shopping trip ith Flo. That shopping queen. I think I am going to bow to her everytime she buys something. How can she fall in love that fast? I seem to see a flaw in every accessory that catches my eye but for the easily satisfied Flo, everyting is perfect. Christmas deco is up and everywhere is filled with the magical air of unspoken peace. It is truly breath-taking. Who cares if there is no snow. The lights alone are enough.

Flo is Christmassy-dressed! (although they said it looked Indianish and I thought it was more like CNY)

And the corporate me that keeps procrastinating when it comes to job-hunting. Gee, I am a BUM. Money money, please drop from the sky.
