It's 3 weeks and counting...

To Christmas that is...

I haven't really felt the Christmas spirit ever since I got here, don't know why. Probably didn't know about the hoo-ha going on, so wasn't really psyched up. (In fact I was only psyched up about my 10 days off and probably the party before that.)

Now now...when Becky & Becky decided to put up and decorate the Christmas tree today, the atmosphere at work somehow changed. Christmas songs were even played in the main lab for a good first part of the day.

They're just putting the trees up.

Tadaa~! Bright and decorated!

Soon there'll be presents underneath the tree as well, I think. Coz there's this Secret Santa that's going on. And the people taking part will have to draw out a person's name and buy him/her a present. So everyone will get a present! YAY!

And Darren got lots of us into the Christmas quiz as well. Usually I'm not into quizzes but it's different this time. The winners get cash prizes. CASH!!! Like Darren said, my eyes practically lit up when I heard that. (Who in their right minds wouldn't?)

So not bad then, I keep myself occupied with the quiz in the meantime, and if everything goes well, I might just win something. If not, I'll just have a very nice holiday in Marseille then. It's a win-win situation for me anyway. HAHA!

******************
Oh yeah, last Saturday's weather over at Cardiff was mad. MAD, I tell you!

It was a bright and sunny morning...I opened my eyes, and was juuuuust about to get up...when it rained cats and dogs.

SO. I plopped back down onto my bed and carried up sleeping until 11.

Then I washed up and got ready to go out. (Supposed to meet Rushmi for shopping.) Bloody hell, this time it's even worse than raining cats and dogs.

There was practically a hailstorm when I stepped right out the door!!!

This was taken only after the hails started to thaw.

If I had been 2 minutes earlier, I might be in the hospital now with a concussion.

But the weather forecast said that the weather on Sunday would be even worse (which was right) so we went ahead with our plans anyway.
My God, I was practically frozen by the time I got there.

No mood to shop anymore. So went looking for food.

Stumbled into this cosy little restaurant called La Boheme, which sells Italian Food (Surprise!!!), but currently has only the Christmas menu for us to choose from. :( But then again, the food was quite good, so I'm still happy with it. Hehehe...


Need to go to bed now. Getting sleepy...

And btw, I FINALLY started my first Supervised Conjugation today.

I'm getting there!!!
