Christmas Weekend

Unusual Party

Orchard Road was the place to be if you want to experience a remarkable Christmas celebration in Singapore. Yes, they do celebrate Christmas though majority of its people are non-Christian. But it’s just so sad that they are not actually celebrating the event in a meaningful way. Just imagine a birthday party where the celebrant is not even invited! Ah, okay… They are not Christian. I understand. But how we, Christians? Was the celebrant invited when we had the Christmas party? I hope He was… and I hope He did receive a present from all of us. (Oh, you forgot???)

Far and Away

This year was the first time I celebrated Christmas away from home and my family. I went to a friend’s house where some other Filipinos were present. I also had a chance to call home to greet my family. Yesterday (Christmas day), I sleep almost the whole day.

Fair “Fair Price”

Yesterday night, we went to Fair Price at Bukit Merah and went home just after buying some stuff. We unknowingly left one plastic bag containing most of the meat worth $40 at the cashier. I only learned about this after I got home tonight from office. So I thought maybe they still have a record and that I could still try to ask them whether it is possible that I could collect the products. So I went back and learned they did found the bag. They told me to just pick and choose all items that were left behind. And so I did. What amazed me was that the employee in-charge did not even checked what I have and just asked me, “Are they all in?” After I said “yes”, she just said, “Okay, you can go now.”
