Season's Greetings

Finally tonight, I sent out all the season’s greetings emails to my old dear friends, who I don't have time to keep in touch with in the past one year. It this time of the year that I should “poke” my friends that I am still alive, even though I am not in the Aussie land.

You know what, I am going back to Guangzhou again, for Christmas this time. I will only be back for five days and have to be back to work on the 26^th December. There is no Boxing Day in Singapore, I am sorry. Life is unexpected as always. I was planning to spend my first Christmas in Singapore, alone. Nothing back about that, I could chill around and go to places I don't have chances to go during my normal busy working days. Until last night, I went to a client’s gala dinner with our boss. In his car, he was saying that he would go to the US to spend this festival season with his daughter for two weeks. Then he asked me if I was doing anything this Christmas. I said, the flight was so expensive at this time, double of what I used to pay so I would stay and just hang around with few friends here. Later the night, he seriously told me that he was willing to pay for half of my flight if I wanted to go back to spend time with my ailing father.

I was very grateful for his care and others from the company. Nevertheless, I have made my decision and plans for next year. Although career is important, there are many aspects in life that I should pay attention to. I am sorry, I will have to leave this tiny island soon.
