A holiday is a holiday- a day to rest whether or not it's a day ur religion celebrates. While i may not a christian, i think we can still adopt the fun from the special day itself- PRESENTS! Both giving and receiving that is.
As people always say "the joy in giving is much more significant than the joy in receiving". (something like that)
Arrived at work after a long holiday spent over at Genting highlands and was really astonished to find 8 little parcels sitting on my desk. Sounds logical but considering that im only a temp staff there for less than 4 months, it's just such NICE NICE NICE gestures. Totally warmed my heart!
And a prelude to the presents, they werent just chocolates or candies, mostly of them were hand chosen individually which really really melts my heart. Awww.. Got a soap&glory moisturizer mist from boss; parker pen with my name engraved, perfume, mini pouch, candy and chocolates amongst many others. Im such a blessed girl to work with nice people :))
But of cos i wasnt expecting anything at all! Thinking abt their gifts i actually felt bad for getting them only chocolates. But then again, they came together with heartfelt written notes which is priceless for sure!
Half day ytd and then spent the rest of the day at S' christmasy house. Major love his place for xmas bcos there's such a warm fuzzy cosy feeling whenever we enter. It's as though he celebrates xmas throughout the yr. His parents very nicely prepared some xmas delights for us- turkey, ham, sausage, salad, fruits and all which was REALLY REALLY sweet. Felt really bad for imposing on them so much but they were really such welcoming and brilliant hosts. :)
Did our usual catching up to fill up all e gaps of each others' lives. Enjoyed our yummy food and then had our highlight of the day- Gift Exchange! Well, i would say that we have all learnt to be better gift-getters as the years go. So all in all, i think we all had great gifts.
Photos up soon when i become slightly less lazy =x
For now, merry xmas! Bedtime!
