Merry Christmas 2008 (Read only when you have a lot of time on hand)

Note: the warning in the title is not meant to frighten you but this post is dangerously long. Please do not read in the office if your boss is not on leave :D 

Hey gals! sorry that i drag till 2009 then post our 2008 Christmas celebration photos! hahaha. I saw the photos pau pau posted. so funny! especially the infernal affairs ones. so funny lor pau pau and lian rong pau's expressions! Lian rong pau is really the queen of expressions. hahaha. I only have a few photos to upload, most of it is in pau pau's camera which she has already uploaded. The special one in my camera is the video of our "Promote your Christmas Gift" variety show plus the L-I-Y-I human alphabet part!! Woots! (see the post below!!! ^o^)

I also enjoyed this Christmas very much. Totally agreed with pau pau that this Christmas seems to be different from previous years. I think it's because we shared more about our lives? Usually we tend to only have fun after the countdown and then exhaust ourselves until we dun really have energy or mood to share much that happened in our lives. This year it's kind of different. 

For me personally, i dun usually share much of my thoughts to you guys cos sometimes I feel you gals cannot understand me due to our different lifestyle and personalities and i dun want your to think of me as a complicated person who thinks too much. Neither do i want you gals to see "the dark side" of me hence i usually just share some of the happenings in my life and not my personal opinions and thoughts. But over the years i figured that friendships grow only when friends open up to one another about their feelings and thoughts and not just what happened. Cos that is when the real "getting to know another person better" process comes. 

I truly appreciate the ears you gals lent me when i talked about my struggles in my new job (i believe its pretty boring to hear and not very special or particularly enjoyable but you gals bear with me!! *touched*) and with regards to Ms groundnut's Xiao-li (guess this topic seems to be very unavoidable everytime all of us gather).  I guess it's very obvious that i am not very accepting towards Xiao-li. But i tink its very unloving of me if i always dun respect groundnut and keep asking her if she wants to rethink her relationship with Xiao-li. Hence i have already come to terms that if she is happy to be in this relationship why would i want to keep asking her to re-think. I'm sure she herself have already think thru it and also know why we want her to re-think. She has also explained to us why she is not gg to change the current situation, hence, i ought to respect her decision and wish her all the best. so right here, peanut sincerely apologise to Groundnut if i have hurt you in any way especially in my speech and the attitude i shown you. We raise our questions out of love and concern for you, hope you understand. :) Want to also tell you that we are also available for you.

Actually i wanted to write you gals Christmas cards as usual like all other years but this Christmas is really a busy period for me. mainly cos of my card making business. haha. was still rushing out Christmas cards on the 21 Dec. hehe.. I'll give your the cards another time i guess. hehe. I also want to think of creative ideas to give your the card. :) 

Hope we'll continue to keep this new level of openess within our group and may our friendshop grow even deeper and we can know each other even better in this 2009! :) 

I love you gals!
