A birthday Wish for Alvin

While you're away

Another year has passed,
and you're getting older, my friend.
Another year is behind the present,
but you, my dearest friend, is still my Godsent.

Laughing, as we always have,
and I hope you'll most of the time be :)
My precious, far-away friend,
At your doorstep, thousands of hugs are delivered.

So this year, one of my closest friends, Alvin is having his birthday far away from home. I hope, wherever you are, Vinka, you are always in good shape, and most of all - happy and blessed. Cheers :)

After-Christmas slow motion days

So, it's a day after Christmas and here I am enjoying my lazy afternoon at a cafe in Wijaya street, De Lemos Cafe and Meeting Pod - Oscar's recommendation. It's cozy here; the air is still thick with Christmas theme - a Christmas tree, ornaments hanging on the ceiling and the good, old Christmas songs. It's not too crowded or quiet - basically just "purrfect" for our Cumi-Cumi game. (hhhm..Cumi-cumi.. a silly but fun game we always look forward to. This is a jargon only a few know..)

So I went here with my lovely sister and Oscar - having failed to see Madagascar 2 in PIM - to kill the time and spend the slow motion days in between Christmas and New Year. Anyway, no one could agree more, I guess - this is the best time of the year! (Especially when your pocket is loaded with your Christmas bonuses *hehe..*)

Whiny Oscar complained only for one thing - the absence of marshmallows for his chocolate fondue. Not a big deal, I suppose, unless you're a big fan of those soft, gooey, spongy thingy :)

Anyway..anyway.., five more days to New Year's eve. How about reserving our New Year's eve dinner here, guys?

Merry Christmas everyone!
