Last day of work prior to chrissy. There’s two days left. I am so glad Christmas day falls on a Sunday this year. At least I won’t have to go to work. Rocked up late to work due to a doctor’s appointment, had a 2-hour long lunch with the whole team and a few extras, and then continued on “working” for a couple of hours before calling it a week.
Lunch was at Glenmore Hotel at the Rocks. The rooftop beer garden had fab views. I had calamari with a side of salad, but it was more like an order of salad with a side of calamari. We had Secret Santa. My Secret Santa which ain’t so secret got me the numero uno album in Australia: Human Nature’s latest, which is a cover of select Motown Hits.
I honestly gave Human Nature more credit than they deserve, hence I am so disappointed. The album’s a bit on the cheesy side, and they totally murdered a good number of Motown Hits, including Jackson 5’s I Wank You Back. I wonder what Jacko has to say about this.
Was meant to have coffee with a friend who was on the verge of tears due to recent happenings, and also go to the movies with another friend just cos we both ended up having nothing to do on a Friday night and also cos we have to do some catching up before he flies to North Carolina and be MIA for a full 12 months!
Friend number one decided he’s fine and perhaps thought he was hassling me to meet up and have coffee with him, but seriously, I’ll take any (almost) excuse to go hang out with my friends! I had to cancel with friend number two as I feel bad leaving mom at home the whole night. Dad and bro comes Sunday (yay! Can’t wait!) so next week mom won’t ever be alone.
I’ve never been so emotional over Christmas. It’s usually such a hyped up season. This year’s just gone the other way. Perhaps cos a lot of my friends have gone overseas. Some have actually come to Sydney from overseas but that just doesn’t make up for the fact that a good many have left, although it could have. Sigh.
