Almost The End (of 2010)

It's the last day of November and it's creeping me out!

I've had my fair share of Ups and Downs - perhaps a lot more disappointments than pleasant surprises - but there's still one more month to go. Hopefully, December will be the chocolate syrup on the mudpie! (I've been trying to cut down on chocolate 'cos it's been destroying my teeth and waistline...)

A couple of things lined up for December: Walking with Dinosaurs show with the kids at the National Indoor Stadium and a 3 Night Best of Malaysia cruise (family of 3+2+2) on board Royal Caribbean's Legend of the Seas.

Am I looking forward to the break? Well, yes and no. I mean, who wouldn't want a holiday? Although it's a short trip (and a short reprieve from work) and I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with my kids, I'd have preferred a longer vacation and one that will allow for a little more "freedom".

But who am I to complain? I should thank my lucky stars for what I have and not compare my situation with others.

All the same, I'm waiting for the day when I can finally break the chains of constraints. Then again, perhaps when the time comes, I may *actually* miss the moments of insanity and frustration.

Whatever.

Anyway, last Saturday was the school's 20th Anniversary Dinner & Dance at The Fairmont Singapore Hotel. 10 iPads were up for grabs as lucky draw prizes but alas, I wasn't fated to win any. There were over 1,000 staff - what were the odds of me laying my hands on one of them?

But my tablemates and I did enjoy ourselves with the games despite not winning anything. I didn't take many photos either but did snap a couple and here they are:

Food for thought: will we all still be around for the 25th Anniversary D&D?
