Merry Xmas

Xmas 2007 came and went. Potluck-cum-housewarming @ sec sch pal's abode, buffet dinner @ Carousel with IE buddies, drinks @ Dempsey, sushi tei with dad, midnite movie 'I am Legend' @ orchard, gym, a sprinkling of work, some pages of Paulo Coelho and afternoon naps. Nice. =)

The scene along Orchard Rd on xmas eve was not so nice though. Granted, there were definitely more groups of policemen making their patrols. But the foam spray cans remained a common sight, their pungently sweet contents (& ozone-destroying ingredients) filled the air every other second, accompanied by that terrible hissing sound. Metal cans & plastic bottles littered the pavements. Large groups of angsty teens with coloured, spiked hair, multiple piercings and challenging stares gathered and stared.. For a long long moment, it was hard to believe that I am in Singapore. I feel ashamed. Threatened. And pained. =P

Xmas - a time to appreciate & forgive.. Merry Xmas to you. =)
