Always trust moms to remember sending greeting cards either via email or snail mail. Thanks Moms! Really sweet of you to do that. Sorry that your kids just can’t be bothered to send out anything to virtually anyone…we don’t even have any day off work to have that holiday feeling…but you know we always think of you. 🙂

First time to everything
It is a shame that 25th December is not an official public holiday in Thailand. This would also be the 1st time ever in the history of my working life where I have to unwillingly drag my ass to work over a supposedly public holiday that’s granted almost throughout the world and I’m not too pleased at all. Ok, one could argue that I could have taken the day off…but that’s not the point. The annoying thing is that I’m actually extremely busy at work when it’s supposed to be the most lull period of the year! Christmas Eve and Christmas Eve-Eve was spent dealing with unnecessary crisis and leaving the office late. Plus the fact that clients just can’t seem to make up their minds for the longest time resulting in hours of re-work!
I’d say, I much rather work as a zookeeper picking up real crap from the animals who can’t think for themselves rather than picking up someone else’s shit! That would be more satisfying given that I like animals better. I’ll give myself a pat on the back for sticking it out, though.

Inspired!
Had Indian food for dinner today and I’m inspired to try making chapati! I’ve always had a soft-spot for this Indian flat-bread. Chapatis bring back memories when I used to grow up at a place called Chin Bee Road. As a kid, I always looked forward to home-made chapatis accompanied with keema which was usually given by our Sikh security guard’s family. If I remember correctly, it was at least a few times a week! It was the yummiest and it was one of my fondest childhood memories.
The recipes from the web seems simple enough to give it a go. One of these days it will be at the dinner table complete with keema!
