December has arrived, the last month of 2009. Just barely another 20 odd days before this year comes to an end. Many changes took place this year, can hardly comprehend the changes at all. Wonder what is to come in 2010.
This final month of 2009, gatherings for Xmas , travelling overseas, catch ups with friends...
Dear and me will be travelling to Bali and Osaka..2 total extreme climates, one is sunny and bright, the other is going to be cold and white. Our travel plans keep on changing because of the school holidays and air tix are hard to get..planned to do a 2-week Japan trip, but air tix are all full, so had to make a decision and cut our trip into half, just going for a week (chose Osaka over Tokyo, keeping that for next year). Then as dear has many leave days to clear, so we decided to take a short trip, a relaxing one to Bali, but this trip wouldn't just be both of us, there's bro and dad too!
Looking forward to the holidays, and the gatherings that are planted in the midst of the trips.
Last weekend has a SEC gathering, with a post birthday celebration for all the November babies. Gathering was great i guess, just that 18 people and the super long table didn't make movements and interactions that efficient. The next one is coming soon, for Xmas, but me and dear wouldn't be joining i guess, other parties clashing.
The most memorable party gathering planning i guess this year would be Extinct's Xmas party..most of us are travelling such that Erin had to use a Google calender to plot all our travelling dates to determine which are our outstanding dates left to meet up..kinda stunned us! But it was a great way to plan! And this time, partners are included, and we will be having double strength. This year is probably a year that we have been meeting up the most number of times and this is really fun and great! Our theme this year is all house gatherings, starting off at my house with BBQ, steamboat at Shiwei's, supposed baking session at Phil's been postponed and now Xmas will be at yean's house plus a house warming for her! FUN FUN FUN! :)
Dear and me will be celebrating our Xmas in Japan, though i am very sure that it wouldn't be a white one, but surely a fun and memorable one. We will be celebrating together with pam, ryan and aunt in Osaka together, because the 5 of us are all travelling together there, just that they are arriving one day before us and we are departing one day after them. This will be my 2nd overseas trip with pam, the first being in europe. A plus for me and dear, because we can have pam as our camera lady, taking couple shots for us, but i will also be their family photographer.
Let everything go well for this final month of 2009 and all things better in 2010!
:) For all........
