Merry Christmas to You

Back home, we have been trying hard to return to our normal routine. The weather was the greatest contrast; from a sub-zero environment in Japan to an average of 28 deg C at home.

There was a flurry of activities: we attended an official dinner hosted by Vietnam. Since J has been overseas often this year, we have missed such dinner hosted by Korea, Japan and other countries. At the dinner, we met again soem old familiar faces. The gentlemen had a great time networking ie catching up with each other, and the ladies had a fun time too.

There was a trip to Farmart located at Chua Chu Kang. Uncle William gave a very interesting tour on this farm. He was humourous in his presentation. Both adults and kids enjoyed very much. We were treated with quail eggs and fried quail too.

Then followed by a bbq dinner hosted by J's colleagues. Again, it was another gathering where there was plenty of food and drinks. I am sure to put on weight as I have been eating plenty of rice/noodles in Japan. With the festive season round the corner, more food especially meat was consumed.

Tonight is christmas eve. As usual, we will be having our christmas dinner at D's home. D told me her menu for the dinner; again more meat such as turkey, ham, sausages etc.

I wish I can find time to starve myself but it seems impossible during the last few days of year 2009.
