ah… so that’s how it is to celebrate christmas and new year in singapore. hm. ho-hum.

note to self: start making plans soon to spend the next holiday season elsewhere.

come to think of it, we’ve had lots of fun, recreating german christmas traditions here in the tropics. my in-laws sent a package of goodies: dresdner christstollen (most of the 2 kg sugary cake now rests on my hips), dominosteine, lebkuchen, and marzipankartoffeln. in addition, we also ordered a box of treats from schmidt and have been making our own glühwein and kinderpunsch, never mind the fact that it’s 35 degrees outside!

we slid into 2008 peacefully, too. i wouldn’t describe it as festive or racuous, but it was a smooth transition. 2007 has been an extremely eventful and exhilarating ride and i’m glad it has come to a close. or has it? who knows what’s in store for 2008?

happy new year, yaaah!

here’s wishing everyone a bountiful and fun-filled year ahead!
