christmas

december. one of my favorite months of the year. next to my birthday month of course :)

how time flies fast. and if i continue to go about my daily routine between work and home, for sure, december 25 would pass without me noticing. but i wouldn't let that happen.

it's going to be my first christmas spent away from my family. and maybe because of that, i couldn't quite feel the christmas spirit. is it because i am in this country where the season of christmas is associated with extravagant christmas street lights and endless shopping sales? everytime i walk along orchard road, i get dazzled by the street lights and the big christmas tree just outside Paragon. however, it's all empty. i don't get the same feeling compared when i see our own christmas tree at home. i can't feel the warmth when i see us, gathering around and getting busy for the christmas season. even if there were christmas songs going about on every streets i go, it isn't just going to be the same.

this christmas would be all about missing my family and close friends.
