the -ber months
and so the -ber months have started. brace yourselves folks; for some reason, the last third of the year always goes so fast for us, what with all the holidays and school breaks in between. jan’s got a week of school break this month, and then his birthday is coming up. once he returns to school, his schedule is somewhat all over the place - shortened classes, off-schedule school hours due to PSLE, and barely two monts into the last term, the year-end exams. as for mia- she’ll be starting her ballet classes this month!
the next several months will be a flurry of activities, we’ll be sending out personal and business holiday cards before we know it. i hope this year i manage to actually send snail mail ones, at least to close friends and family. yeah, call me old-fashioned, but i proudly belong to the diminishing species that keep the postman going. to colleagues and work contacts, electronic greetings are good enough, but if if could spare the time, i’d rather make the personal effort to send real cards to friends and family, handwritten text and all. kinda makes it more personal, especially nowadays when most of the writing people do are done by tapping on keyboards and touch screens.
