"XXX"

Are you wondering what XXX all about? It’s Xmas Xchange Xtraordinaire, aXiao's creation. Very creative, right?

Today is our department’s Xmas gifts Xchange gathering. Woo huu!
Although this event is not made official, there were many members participated this year round. After all, it’s not expensive, RM20~ only. To me, what matters most is the thought that counts.

This year unlike past years, we agreed to forbid some gift items thus making it Xtraordinaire. Hehe. See quotes from AXiao’s email.

Gifts know how:
From past years’ experience, these are the things that are FORBIDDEN (bold letters ha) to be bought again for this year’s gift exchange:
1) CUPS/MUGS or things alike. Don’t care if they have cute printing on them or not.
2) CHOCOLATES. Reason forgot chor.


One might ask why it cannot be chocos? What’s the rationale? Ok. From past experience, the person who gets the chocos normally shares it with other members. (As the saying goes, sharing is caring). In the end he/she has got nothing left for keep. Sound pathetic right? It’s just not like getting chocos from your partner. Notice the word 'partner' --> sharing between 2 of you only. (Sharing here simply means romantic). Conclusion is, getting chocos from colleagues is not romantic. Hence, chocolate is banned this year. Wah…. =)

By the way, AXiao is the organizer this year. She labeled me the Santarina because I sent her a funny Christmas’s song I got from my sis. Enjoy the lyrics & sing along. Hahaha.

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town.

It's hitting you once,
It's hitting you twice
It doesn't care if you've been careful and wise
Recession is coming to town

It's worthless if you've got shares
It's worthless if you've got bonds
It's safe when you've got cash in hand
So keep cash for goodness sake, HEY!

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town!

Finance products are confusing
Finance products are so vague
The banks make you bear the cost of risk
So keep out for goodness sake, OH!

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town....


HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS & A BLESSED NEW YEAR!!

The gift I bought from Sunway: Cute right? =)

This is what I get in Xchange:
