I'll be Home this Christmas

All it took was 2 weeks of holing up at the client's place from dawn to dusk.
With minimal human contact. Just difficult clients in the day and cab drivers at night:P
Catching snatches of carols - only in the washroom.
Hurriedly staving off meals & hunger with packets aft packets of biscuits.

To make me spend the eve of Christmas eve in a way I never thought I would.
To make the usually extremely crowd averse me raring/determined to step into Orchard on Friday:

- To witness and get shoved and pushed by the crowds
- To after a few knocks, learn how to retaliate by brazenly squeezing and snaking through the crowds. The only advantage of being short:)
- To partake in the queues - to get into cabs, to gift wrap presents, to find seats. Also to have the luxurious option of walking away haughtily snubbing the queue.
- To engage in a massive festive christmas food spree- even if its just feasting for the eyes:).
- To eat a fried instant noodle dish for dinner that turned out to be surprisingly good when I wouldn't be caught eating instant noodles even at home

Alright, I wasn't as boisterous as I expressed it. In fact,only 15 minutes of being swamped by the hoardes, I was already pleading to leave the place . But still..I consider it a feat that I was actually there:)

Thank you best fren, for braving the crowds with me. And painting the town red...well, maybe only with our loud voices. But that's enough:P

You can count on me."

Yes, I am so glad I am home for Christmas. And it needn't be only in my dreams.* Big grinz*

Have a blessed Christmas, everyone. May you take the time to feel the warmth, joy and love of the season. And help spread the cheer too.

Merry Christmas!
