Merry Christmas!

Day 1 - Dec 23

Woke up feeling ‘stuffy’, unwell, didn’t go lab
A random met-up with kh in the afternoon in town, thanks buddy for coming out so last min
Took a stroll downtown, visited 313, had Tiramisu Latte at Blue Mountain Cafe, nice!
Then went Daiso, Art house, Spotlight to shop for xmas DIY stuff n stickers

Day 2 - Dec 24

It was x’mas eve, pretty cold in the morning.
Appetite zero :x
decided to purchase Ensure from TTSH, been a long time since I did that.
Whole day I was on Ensure, didn’t eat much during the xmas dinner feast, sometimes its miserable to pretend
Sent relative back to Jurong, then back to town to meet meiy and deph.
Had my first foot reflexology, felt relaxed after half n hour 
Then we walked to all the way to Bugis, then went Minds Café for the first time, reached home at 3am, had fun tho with the games.
Gave meiy a DIY xmas farm, or shd I call it a cottage, eh, unsure.
Was embarrassed cuz I didn’t stick those men well onto the ‘snow’ styroform, then they started fallin off.
Lesson learnt: The ‘elephant glue’ dissolves the styroform. Something not known to MisterLyon whu is not good with arts n crafts, but likes to experiment.
Gave Deph a TAMA kimidoll. Tama’s spirit is precious/rare.
Deph’s a great friend to meiy, a gem that she has found in her life.

Day 3 - Dec 25

Merry Xmas!
Today was a simple day spent at the airport. Contented.
Simplicity is beautiful. 
Always have the habit to visit it on NY’s eve, but brought the trip forward this time round.
Searching for tranquility? Airport is the best option.
Really miss the time travelling…

Day 4 - Dec 26

Cousin’s wedding. I was one of the drivers.
Realize that the wedding day is the most tiring day, but then it’s the happiest day of their life.
So I guess all the preparation/efforts and money spent is worth it.
Overall, it was a simple wedding and also a gathering for all the cousins. Many changed lots, perhaps we don’t really meet up often, not even on CNY these years.
When people grow up, they tend to think differently and maturely. So even their parents can’t do much abt them but to let go.
Banquet was at Expo’s Bliss Restaurant.
I was suddenly pulled to the reception table and to assign seats to the guests,
when I don’t even know most of them.
Then the seating arrangement was so funny, but frustrated me at moments.
“So ermm, u from AMK right? Okie, pls go to this table.
Hi, where are u from? Toa Payoh ah? Okie, that table pls.”
Not enough preparation and coordination for this banquet. But….
Standard of the food: 9/10

Marriage is...
a dynamic process of discovery, a journey, not an arrival.
It is a partnership in which two people can proclaim their love and commitment to each other. Marriage is starting to love, over and over again.
It is a life's work requiring trust and respect for one another, thought and effort. In marriage, being the right person is as important as finding the right person.
Marriage means...

learning to share,
learning to give and receive love generously;
learning to be open, honest and understanding, and
learning to search for the good and the beautiful in yourself and your partner.
