Apparently the 90% 'aye' has turned into a 'nay', through no doing of mine.
I owe my Aussie friends big time. Shall be making some overseas calls soon. I had better prepare my defense.

Christmas eve dinner last night was at a -church- auntie's house. Usually the unspoken dress code for dinners at her place was *ahem* dresses and a dolly-ed up appearance. Thanks to the bruises on my legs from fencing and bite scars of bed bugs and mozzies, I was saved from the torture of wearing a short skirt.
Had a Christmas dinner today at a family friend's place. Played nearly two hours of chess while waiting for the dishes... and played a rather discouraging game of Monopoly after that. There's not much of a Christmasy atmosphere though, or at least I can't feel it here in S'pore. This year, it's just not there. I haven't taken to unwrapping my gifts with as much zest as I used to in years past. My church doesn't even have a proper Christmas service! Just a lunch...
