Time flies...
It wasn't that long ago since I got back from my holiday in Hong Kong (HK) & China, and now Christmas is coming next week! Time goes really quickly this year. As I get older, time seems to go quicker every year.
Anyway, I had a great time during my holiday and if some of you have checked out my new online photo albums, you would have noticed that I took a huge amount of photos that you'll probably fall asleep after checking out the first few days. The reason I took so many photos was to record what I've been doing during the holiday. I think this visit to HK was much more relaxing for me. I dunno, but somehow I am now a more relaxed person than 3 years ago.
The highlight of my holiday has to be the SMCS1982 gathering with my primary classmates. I don't know how the others felt about the gathering, I was really happy to see the people I knew many years ago, and some I haven't seen for over 17 years. It is of course impossible to remember everyone's faces and names, but still, it was a good opportunity for each of us to get acquainted with each other. I'm certain that I would love to organise another gathering during my next visit to HK.
The other highlight of my holiday was when I went hiking with my primary classmate Louisa. It was a lastminute thing and for those of you who knows me well, I'm not someone who does thing lastminute. I only met up with Louisa for lunch the day before the hike when she asked if I would like to go hiking with her and her friends. Normally, I would have said no as I never planned things so late. I don't know what happened to me, but I was really keen on this idea and gave Louisa a call that evening to confirm that I will go. I'm really glad that I went. I had a wonderful time seeing the countryside - a rarity in HK. The weather was great and the people were very nice and helpful. Although I had many scratches and knee pains from the hike, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I'm sure I would love to go hiking in HK again if I'm given the opportunity.
There were many other highlights from my holiday, if you want to know what I was up to, you just have to check out my many photos and read the infrequent captions I added to some of the photos.
Now I have to plan what to cook on Christmas Day. It has become a tradition in recent years that my Mum has Christmas Day off, so she doesn't need to carry out any cooking duties. So I'll be in charge cooking dinner on Christmas Day. This year would be differnt from previous years, as Connie and her family won't be coming over. So I should have more time to prepare and cook something different. We normally have roast beef, but I want to cook something different and possibly a three-course meal. I need to rummage through my cook books to find something that's not going to be too challenging. I don't want to ruin the ingredients and end up with nothing to eat as all the shops and restaurants will be closed that day. I don't want to end up eating canned chopped ham and baked beans!
