Happy Holidays!

I have come to the conclusion that I can't have any habit. I tried several times to set up a routine, like wake up early in the morning, finish work out, get into work by 8.30 am, get out by 6.00 pm, cook nice warm dinner, spend sometime reading books/watching tv, get a good night's sleep. Unfortunately, hasn't quite happened. I manage to do some one day and the rest the other day, not all the same day. Anyway, holidays time! I believe a lot of offices have allowed their employees to work from home next week until Jan 2nd 2008. It was weird leaving work today. This would technically be my third new year at this client site. As I look back, I've crossed some miles(tones), learnt some things, frustrated at some more. I wonder how the next year will look like.
As I started my car, I realized a tiny feeling of excitement in my stomach. This was like the one I used to have after I hand in my last exam paper. With that funny feeling in my tummy, I used to walk out of the exam hall reminding myself the list of things to do before I pack my bags and leave the campus for the semester. To say I miss those days doesn't quite capture the feeling.
Anyway, back to 2007, I am excited about this break. It might not be a real break, as I would be still working. Nevertheless, to me it means waking up and not doing the same things over and over again (or feeling guilty of having missed doing a few things). It means doing things that I might never do on regular days. I am definitely looking forward to these days. I am hoping that when I get into the train to get to work, I will think of these days as one of the most wonderful times of all.
So Happy Holidays everyone! Hope you find happiness and spread it as you go along.
Cheers!

ps: I think my car is growing bigger day by day. I find it difficult to park into my carport with ease ( I used to be able to do it before). Isn't supposed to shrink in winter?
