I am almost rotting at home... With the help of the wet and cold weather which Singapore had experienced for the past 3 days... But this rainy season could not dampen my festival mood... Yeah! It's going to be Christmas!!

Strictly speaking, I am not one person who would be crazy about Christmas... In fact, my family never celebrate any Christmas before... Not till the presence of the two little devils... Shopping around for a suitable gift for them became the most important event for every Decembers... And especially for me this year... Someone who is counting the passing days and waiting for the commencement of IA... I actually enjoyed going down to Causeway Point and indulged myself in the shopping mood of those ever growing crowds... Yes... People all around me are spending their dollars liked there is no tomorrow... And the items they are grabbing off the shelves are things that would had cost me almost the entire of my savings ... No wonder the government said that economy is turning for the better...

I am contented with the spendings on the little devils' presents... And for Sailor Jupital... Furthermore, meeting up with a colleague from the place where I used to work made me realized just how long I had cooped myself up at home... I am becoming such a "hiding" person that even the tiniest shopping spree I witnessed was enough to brighten up my day... Amazing rite? But that was what happened to me!

For now, enjoying this special Christmas season is all I ever needed...

*******************************************

Finally received the email about the reporting details for first day of work... The reporting time stated was 8.45a.m. and I need to be dressed in smart causal... The email also reminded me the need to invest in a pair of covered shoes... Should had thought so earlier since I would be staying inside a lab... Anyway, I am confused over the duration of my attachment... An email from the school informed me that they were changing my IA option to EIA... And yet during the last round of allocation result and in the email I had received regarding the reporting details, the period of attachment is still the same for IA... Which should I trust? Consulting the school proved to be futile as the email I had sent ages ago to clarify never came back... Only hope that the staff at IME could verify when they receive my personal declaration form... And guess what? I am going to be tagged during my stay at IME!

**going off to imagine how a card hanging around the neck all day long feels like**

*******************************************

I’ve held my peace, but that time’s over.
I have to say what I want to say.
While waiting at the bus stop on the way home,
The sun sets, taking my burdens with it.

Show me your fighting pose, come on!

I saw a new world in my waking dreams,
Where peace and quiet are the way of life.
But back in reality the world is cold and harsh,
I sin and regret it each and everyday.
That’s how the days roll along...

I fall over and over but it doesn't faze me.
I laugh at myself and get back up.
As I board the bus that'll take me home
I gaze out the window and crack a smile.

I'm putting all my trust in you.

My dream world is my little secret club,
I lock myself inside, but my friends lift me out of it.
Reality can't be what I want it to be...
But I’ll keep believing, though the days are lonely.

Oh yeah, yeah!
I stumble, but I pick myself up...
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Stardust falls from a Rolling Star

I want to live with a smile on my face,
But I have to give that up if I want to protect you.

Everything feels like a lie.
Not a drop of meaning in it all.
All my loving...
That's all I’ve got in this life.

I saw a new world in my waking dreams,
Where peace and quiet are the way of life.
But back in reality the world is cold and harsh,
I sin and regret it each and everyday.
That’s how the days roll along...

Oh yeah, yeah!
I know what I'm talking about...
Oh yeah, yeah!
I stumble, but I pick myself up...
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Stardust falls from a Rolling Star!
