Hello there again! Another long awaited post huh..
The 2-week long 'battle' was kinda an eventful one, as predicted. As much as I would love to rant, I still need to keep things confidential (and to protect my ass too). I just hope people realise that the examination is not something they can have it their own way anyhow.
I managed to squeeze in a short respite in Bangkok right after the 'battle'. Good to meet up with my Thai friends again. It has been 12 long years. :) I miss the (budget) shopping at Chatuchak market and Terminal 21 shopping mall. Love the cheap but awesome traditional Thai massage as well.
I guess the most unique experience was the chat with 2 local tour guides while having a cuppa coffee opposite the Grand Palace. They turned out to be Chinese-Thais who came from my father's hometown, Betong (South Thailand). A pity that I did not take a photo with them, perhaps my father might have known them.
And right after that I was back into the whirlwind of work again. But I guess the Christmas mood helped to relieve the stress a little. Been meeting with friends here and there as well, a good time reminiscing the past, a good time for laughter. :)
If time and money is not an issue, I would have flown to the Philippines to spend Christmas there. I still miss spending Christmas there. The entire atmosphere and mood is so different from here, too commercialised, sadly. Hopefully there will be another time I could spend Christmas there, and I definitely look forward to that.
But anyways, a very Merry Christmas to all, and to all my Pinoy friends in Bago City, Manila, here in Singapore, and in other parts of the world, Maligayang Pasko!
Hohoho!
