Time is of the essence!

it took me freaking forever to get to my blog! bloody pentium 2 ancient desktop i have at home. ..%^$#! can't wait for my new laptop to arrive!!

so anyway, have been rushing these past couple of days to get my xmas shopping done. i can safely say, it's more or less done. a little bit more to go...a bigger hole to burn in me pockets.

actually, the real fun in xmas and presents is not in the shopping, nor so much the giving. i figured, it's the wrapping that gets me really excited. thinking of how the person who is getting it will expect or not expect it...and everything that goes along with it! so i had fun wrapping the presents just now...until i ran out of tape. drats!

ok...i officially started the shopping and sussing of presents on friday noon, just before work at suntec. then, went late night shopping with evelyn, cat and their fren (forgot her name...oops!) at marina square on sat (coz they had extended hours). then went bugis after work on sunday night to look. continued today (mon - my off day) with jeremy, going all over the place to get more pressies. really tiring stuff man...poor jer had to not only walk a lot but drive a lot also...so i think his ass is sore liao. we went JB in the afternoon, then ikea where i got my wrapping stuff, then went bugis to meet tommy for a while, then went taka to finish up our present hunt.

and we are not done yet. yup...it never ends!

one last thing though...

i think xmas should be a time of joy and fun, and being surrounded by loved ones. it should be filled with happiness and appreciation for the people u love, who love you and who are around you. so i'm gonna enjoy this xmas and thank God that i have what i have. i'm not particularly religious (free-thinker actually), but i do believe that there is someone up there that sees and knows everything, and that my life will be played out exactly how He plans.

my mum told me the only thing she regrets is not giving us a religion (or something to that extent). so she told me to pray more and ask for guidance. yah...i think i will.

please stop raining...it's so dreadful!
