End of Confinement... Finally

Finally, the month long confinement had ended on Dec 16...

Went out for the first time on Dec 17, to get Joelle's birth cert and shopping at Junction 8. Reached home about 4 pm. Went for another hairwash before watching my new serial - The Charm Beneath. As usual, it is filled with the required twists and turns of a big family, plotting against each other. Hoping to finish it before next Friday.

On Sunday, meet the girls to for beauty therapy, all of us went for a hair treatment, both Anne and myself decide to cut our hair, need to get a new look after having straight hair for the past year and keeping it long. It is reaching the middle of my body already. Feel so much lighter after cutting it.

Back in office on Monday to give out the cake vouchers and submit all my medical, hospital, doctor's claims for 2005. Can't delay it as there is a cutoff time and the company won't accept the claims if they are late. Went shopping in town after that to get gifts for the dinner with my colleagues on the 22nd. It is a standing affair for the last few years. All of us will go for a good dinner after getting our 13th month bonus in December. A new rule was added last year, for the gift exchange, min. amount of the gift must be at least $50. Was searching high and low for a suitable gift yesterday because there is only one guy in our group and it is not fair that every year, whatever gift he receive, he can only pass it to his wife as he can't use it. Need to get some that is unisex so that no matter who receives it, can use it. I think next year, I will get gift vouchers, it is more practical and no matter if it is male or female, they can get whatever they want.

Need to look after my little one... till later....
