This is the most un-Christmas Christmas I’ve ever had.
We don’t have a tree – we have no space, and I do not count a 1-foot high fir cutting placed in a pot, as a tree.
I didn’t send out a single card this year.
I am not going to do anything fancy with this site for Christmas, because I haven’t had time.
I just spent 2 hours – after attending the midnight church service – ironing clothes.
Merry Christmas, anyway.
This morning, I intend to: 1. Wake up at 7am or latest, 7.30am after taking lolling-around time into account 2. Run on the treadmill to burn off fat accumulated from consuming too much German beer and sausages 3. Shower and get my hair into some semblance of neatness 4. Have juice and freshly-ground coffee 5….
The Marketing to Women conference Day 1 was generally good. As mainstream marketing is not my core function, I learnt more than the average Marketing graduate working in a Marketing role. Day 2 tomorrow should be good too. As can be expected, there are many more women than men attending the event. I couldn’t help…
My referral software occasionally points me back to sgblog.com, which keeps a top 10 list of Singapore blogs. I’ve been on the list for a year or two, but have no idea how I got there. Not surprisingly though, XX is there, along with SPG and a model who appeared in FHM (against her will)….
Yesterday, two good things happened to me: I signed my new work contract, and Macromedia enabled me to re-activate Studio MX on my new Mac. Today, I started my new job and things seem to be working out fine, with God’s grace. The working hours are humane – I actually get to see the sun…
Had a good, quick flight to Austin. Took a taxi straight to Kristen and Mark’s place, played with Alexander, had dinner. Will meet my conference roommates later. Typing this on my iPhone. Excuse the terseness while I get used to the keyboard. i’m not getting 100% functionality on Movabletype 4. And speaking of the iPhone:…
My mum, sis and I had lunch at Magma, the German restaurant. While we were deciding what to eat, my mother looked around and commented that this would be a nice place to bring the Tan clan. We asked how many tables the restaurant could seat, and noted that it could accommodate all 30 of…

Oh, Vanessa, I’m sorry that your Christmas holiday has been less spectacular than the traditional holiday. However, much of the cheer of Christmas is a state of mind–and it looks like you still have a lot of things to be cheerful and grateful for (although ironing for 2 hours is a bit of a drag).
Merry Christmas. May your clothes remain unwrinkled.
Happy Christmas Vanessa, sometimes Christmas is not in the things around us but in our spirit. I am spending Christmas eve alone and Christmas day, we’re driving 14 hours to Texas. So we’ve postponed Christmas till the weekend. 🙂 Hang in there.
Hey, didn’t see you at service, but have a Blessed Christmas! Hope work isn’t bogging you down today.
Merry Christmas to everyone 😛 I do have many things I am still grateful for. It has been a year of miracles and blessings in fact. Perhaps I shouldn’t expect too much of the tangibles – we still have family time together, after all.
Ben – I saw you at the midnight service. I was sitting further back, on the right.
Merry Christmas Van!!!
sending cheer from germany…. :C)
