Had to go back to work today due to some urgent matters that didn't took too long to resolve. I thought it was a shame just to go straight home so I went shopping. I didn't really trawl the mall, just went to John Little. The crowd there was unbelievable. Although there have been reports that this year's sales weren't as enticing as last years', its obvious that the fire in the Singaporean Shopper is by no means doused. There were queues to the fitting room, to the cashier; there were even a queue to look at clothes! Quite amazing really. John Little had shirts(quite decent looking) going for $8 and T-shirts(I got one) going for $5. I did snagged some stuff but I think I'll probably drop by again during a weekday next week, because I'm sure there are stuff I've missed out due to the unbelievable human congestion in the store today.

Anyway, had a good after-Christmas gathering with the old class today. It was a damper for me that we couldn't go to Prive, our original destination due to unforseen circumstances, so we had to settle for some other place around the area. We ended up at Marché at Vivocity. Although the turnout wasn't as good as expected, it was nice to catch up again. Talk of the day of course was Jamie's recent development on the relationship front. Turns out the girl has gotten herself a boyfriend. So it was understandable that we were all curious to know more about the guy, how did it happen,etc. It was interesting to see her reactions throughout the grilling though.

Anyway, the last few days have been quite enjoyable for me, with little work to do and plenty of time to think. And now, the last week of the year is upon us. Pretty soon, people will be coming back from their vacations and it'll be back to the same 'ol hustle and bustle again. What I wouldn't give for some peace and quiet!
