A Different Kind of Christmas

Sister C was telling me how different this year's Christmas is. Maybe because a lot of things happened this year and that most of them were beyond our control. Or maybe, time just took us by surprise!

Most of our friends are not in Singapore. Some permanently, some on vacation. We wouldn't be spending Christmas Eve at friend B's place because she's in New Zealand. We will be spending it at home with family. My cousin R and her hubby will be coming here from the US. It has been so long since I spent Christmas with her. I remember one Christmas when we were still kids (let me stress the word KIDS), we presented a dance to our lolos and lolas. That was hilarious! But, fond memory of one of my early Christmases.

Side note : Bebi A is so cute whenever I tell her that I am putting a Christmas present for her at our Christmas tree. She thinks that all the presents are from me and says "Thank you, Mommy!" One day I left her Ninong D's present beside her pillow so that she will see it when she wakes up, Ate A told me that when Bebi A saw it, she shouted "Thank you, Mommy" as she run to the living room.

Nyamy Nyamy

Our Bebe A is at the stage of being cheeky and endearing.  She can speak so many words now, some clear, some not.  Hehehe.  She likes to sing as well.  She actually has a good tone.  One of the songs that she likes is the one from Wiggles --- Fruit Salad.  Her version though is : Mom : Fruit Salad Bebe A :  Nyamy Nyamy (Yummy Yummy)

Dress Code

If wearing jeans every day of the week is the gauge for a great workplace, my new job would have a tie with my last workplace in the Philippines. Yes, we can dress down the whole week. I am so thrilled with this prospect. First day was ok. My boss took a picture of me from camera phone and sent this picture in an email to the global team. Oh man! Workwise, I find the team to be so organized and that scares me. After being lawless for a year, it's a big turnaround. When I opened my email this morning, I got almost 70+ mails, and my training plan already laid out. They also gave me a web camera and headset for team web conferencing. (I really need to lose weight now, the camera will add a few more pounds hahaha) Then, I found out that they don't come to work on time and we can leave at exactly 545pm. Woohoo! That's one of the things that were nagging me but I was so pleased to learn that. We even had a 1 and a half hour of lunch time. Hmmm... This could be very...

Busy

Bebi A : Daddy, can you make me an airplane? Daddy : Later Ava, I am busy Bebi A : You always say you're busy, you're hurting my feelings... She then put her face down on the sofa. Drama queen!
