My company’s having their annual Christmas lunch this afternoon. It’s supposed to be a potluck thing. Each department is in charge of bringing something. Being the lazy Singaporeans when it comes to cooking, I think everyone has paid someone else to do the cooking. I’ll be running along to Subway with my colleague in about an hour’s time to buy three or maybe four of those foot-long sandwiches.
\nAnyway, there’s also going to be a gift exchange. Two weeks ago, we had to do this lucky dip thing and pick a name from the bag to see who you would be buying the gift for. It’s supposed to be worth about $10.
\nThings I hate to receive:
\n1) Mugs (Boring!!! And I have no need for anymore! It’s such a no-brainer. Mugs should only be gotten as the last resort.)
\n2) Air fresheners (I know a colleague bought this for another colleague ‘cos I was there when she bought it!)
\n3) Photo frames (not unless they are supernice or super unique. But for $10? I doubt it.)
\n4) Some useless and ugly ornament. No cutesy stuff either please!
\nThings I wouldn’t mind receiving:
\n1) A $10 voucher from Kinokoniya \/ Borders
\n2) A good book that somebody wants to get rid of. I don’t mind recycled gifts.
\n3) Pens — at least they’re useful!
\nAnyhow, let’s see what I’ll receive later. I hope it’ll be something I like! hee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
