tis the season to be busy...

2 months to Xmas!

Season for gift hunting again...

it's actually quite a difficult task to get gifts, especially for colleagues...close in proximity but sometimes we dun really know their likes and dislikes...i mean superficially yes. So getting a gift they would like is not always possible. i guess all of us have experienced this before - getting a gift you dun particularly like..you dunno where to keep it cuz you know you won't be using it... but cuz you appreciate the thought greatly, you are still thankful for it...dilemma...

someone told me in his workplace, they decided to just stop buying gifts for each other. they would only do a gift exchange for the department, where each buys a present for just 1 person. this sounds like a good idea i guess.

i tink i tend to buy for too many people in the past...make myself too busy. then dunno if last yr i bought and if i dun this year, wld people be offended. and in a way, for me, buying a gift for ppl during Xmas is my way of thanking them for their help over the past year and look forward to working together again next year. And cuz i work with many people in the company and routinely need favours from many people...haha...i tend to buy many gifts...small ones but still many la...

resources-wise, can be a concern too...Xmas shopping plus year-end shopping for CNY can eat alot into the 13th month bonus. haha..well..let's see how i can optimise it this year!

Another thing...Year end also means D & D! Time to shop for a nice outfit and put aside money to doll up!

And when I think back, I have been involved in some way or another in previous DnDs ever since I joined the company...and this is the 1st time I am going as an attendee! Amazing? Is that super ON or wat?
