All I don't want for Christmas...
...Is one that is screwed up and forgettable. I've tasted this bitter pill once when some inconsiderate person totally ruined my Christmas. I'm determined never to taste it again but hey who is to say it won't happen again right! So I'm going to be less greedy this year, I just want to have a happy, memorable and special Christmas somewhere out there in Hong Kong. The primary reason why I choosed to spend Christmas this year in Hong Kong is to escape the extremely predictable and boring festive season in Singapore. I want something new, something with more of a Christmas feel, somewhere where it's at least cold if there isn't any snow. I think I will be spending the next few Christmas out of Singapore.
This year certainly passed really fast, only yesterday it was excatly 1 year since I enlisted into NS. And in another 365 days, I'd be a freed birdie. I haven't really thought about ORD, unlike most people who tend to do countdowns or kept looking at the calendar and feel sorry for themselves. I tend to look at the calendar too, but it's always about my next trip or other important appointments. Maybe time passes faster this way?
It's quite scary actually, after the next 365 days I will begin another new chapter in my life. I have a year to prepare myself mentally for the adventure and challenges that lies ahead. But for now, I'm only interested in having 8 days of fun out there in Hong Kong and Macau! It's really exciting going on a holiday, and u know what? The most exciting part is the planning of the schedule itself. I learnt so much new things like culture, places and so on just by planning the entire schedule. I love planning, it gives me a sense of assurance and security when I go overseas. I may not follow excatly to the schedule but at least I know where I'm supposed to go each day and how much time I should spend at each place. It's of course not easy, u have to research all the places, check their opening/closing times, check the maps, and plan where to go each day. I've put in so much effort in this planning that if I had a screwed up x'Mas I'd be really disappointed! So dear Santa, u've heard me.....I've been a good boy this year so do grant me a great x'Mas this season!
