::Just came back from watching National Treasure.. kinda nice though, like something from one of Jule Verne's books... watched the 9.45pm show... so just came back... family only left the house about 8... hard to get moving once your at home... mostly we go out at round 2 or 3 if it was planned...
the day before was much better... 25th Dec, christmas... Went to me cousin's new house.. somewhere at Telok Baru or something.. near Kembagan.. was it big... has an indoor swimming pool, sundeck, plasma tvs, the works... my cousin's are rich... I'm considered the poorest... most live in private house etc... by the way, the lucky brats who live in this huge thing called their house are Dominic and Kenneth... me 2nd aunt's... by the way, this is their 4th house... they started with a 5-room HDB somewhere in marine parade area, then to a semi-detatched in Loyang Rise, to a condo in Tropical Spring in Simei, then to here... they haven't offically moved out of the condo yet... thats why the house seems so empty... probably renting out the condo when they move in here... well, ate lunch there... played with me other cousin's mostly kids.. Me, Dominic and Lynette are the oldest respectively... then it was time to open the presents... not actually open, cause we knew what was inside.. All had to write down what they wanted, not costing more than $50... so we only get one present each...
Me and me brother's were the smallest presents among the whole lot.. I asked for 10 Vandoren V12 2 and a half reeds... I think the christmas spirit is somewhat diluted and commericalized in Singapore... well the 10 reeds were not for myself,decided to give them to me section tomorrow... me brother got $50 worth of popular vouchers... dunno what he'll spend it on though...
Although we only celebrate Christmas once a year.. I believe the spirit of it should live on through out the year.. Not the funny fuzzy feeling you get when you walk down Orchard Road... Its just mega-watts of electricity thats all... But the spirit of giving.. sharing.. Especially leaders, leaders in whatever ways, should acknowledge team's effort... Give back to the team what the team has given you... A leader is nothing without his men.. (sounds like some quote from some famous dead guy..) Although I hold a high-ranking post in the band... I'm still a humble leader, I hardly make use of the rank given to me... I never shout or scream at anyone... The only time I'll raise my voice is when sectionals... Only to come above the noise and all... the 12 reeds, (luckily I bought 2 extra, cause there are 12 in me section) are just my little way of saying thank you to me section... Montfort Clarinets!!
