The chalet has ended too fast. Although we do meet up every now and then, it has been for yrs (since 2003) since we have our last chalet. The feeling was of cos great and exciting. The number of beds and room space was just nice for the 10 of us at Aloha Loyang.
Xmas gift exchange is something we cannot do without, but we decided to do something different this yr. Instead of buying just one general gift for random gift exchange, we bought a 2nd gift to another specific person who was determined by the lots we drew last Xmas. And we have this entire 1 yr to hunt for the gift which we think suit our 'receiver' best. In all, each person will be receiving 2 gifts.
The person that was supposed to buy me a present is Sihui. I must say she has really made a very good choice in buying me a U2 short sleeve polo tee. All along i have been wearing U2 apparels and not only does the size fits me, I love the colour very much too. This simple gift exchange has further bonded all of us up and its also a good test to show how much we understand one another.
And the annual xmas gathering always end up with everyone of us sharing our past yr reflections + new yr resolutions. Although its not uncommon for us to have gatherings, i really feel very bonded to this grp of frens during this chalet. I m glad we r still close together after this long 5 yrs. Its buddhism that has brought us together.
