I've had good holidays, so the thought going back to work is still rather distant.

I went to Ubin!

the stuff that atap chee comes from, and a starfish from chek jawa

while we were on the way back; the view from house number one 

Christmas is happy chaos. with food

christmas dinner; some fugu in Rakuzen

my aunt's sushi salad; ice kachang 

and family.

Had to opportunity to spend time with beloved friends :)

Like now, I'm watching a melodramatic chinese serial (that I recorded for Clo while she was away and thus learnt how to work the DVD recorder) with Clo and laughing at all the wrong places. And making stupid comments to make us laugh. I think we're at our 5th episode now. Still got quite a few to go.

I was thinking about new songs and why we want to listen to new songs, even though the songs we already know are nice. I realise that songs are attached to memories, old memories. Some we want to remember, and some that we want to forget. If I listen to certain songs or CDs, I get reminded of a happy time, or a sad time, or certain people, and a certain place. But then there must be new songs, untainted by old memories- so I listen to new music.
