On exchange gifts and some other things

Our exchange gifts last night was marred by the I want to have a GC(Gift Certicates) for Christmas fever. Exchange gifts does not look good when there are a lot of people wishing/giving gift certificates. It's too impersonal(although I am guilty of this myself for wishing/giving GCs). I actually had fun looking for the gifts. GCs are too easy.

So for next year, no more GCs!

I have two Home album by The Corrs. One I received from as an exchange gift(thanks Sym!). The other I received from Cris(thanks!). I think Cris saw it when I was browsing Amazon.

I just finished About a Boy(I received this one last week as an exchange gift) last Wednesday. Funny book. It's the story of Will Freeman who is hunting for single mothers to date and who in his hilarious search met a kid who changed his life. The book is also about losing other things to gain something.

A quote from the book:

There was no ulterior motive here. He didn't want to sleep with Fiona, but he did want her to feel better, and he hadn't realized that in order to make her feel better he had to act in exactly the same way as if he did want to sleep with her.

I was so full yesterday! I had a buffet lunch at Saisaki/Dads with the CBIT team and had a seafood dinner with Supplier Portal.
