To Hug or Not To Hugz

These days my life is pretty stress. I guess so is everyone. Xmas is nearing and everyone are trying to finish off their work for the year. Husbands and working people might be rushing to finish their part of their work for the year, housewife might be rushing to prepare for the celebrations. Guys might be busy repairing their house or cars for the new year, while girls will be busy with shopping for Xmas.

Today was a total disaster. After the whole day sitting in front of the fumehood, only that I realised that the stuffs I was using is not the correct substances.... So means I need to start again. This doesn't sound good. Two weeks to holiday, and I need to start all over again.... I pray hard to finish it by end of this week.

Since now is the festive season, I might talk about something related to festivals. I, being a semi-conservative person; a kinda open person but still hold on to his roots, find it awkward during some of the time. Looking the locals hug and cheek-kissing each other every time they meet, makes me wonder heaps. I only hug my friends on some occasions (those who are going away, or I might see soon). Maybe it is because of our cultures. Hugging Asian gals upon meeting is definitely a no no. But hugging Aussie gals during the first meeting might be a bit awkward. This is what I felt. I am not sure about others, but I am not that person who will get close and personal in 5 minutes. Of course I have some local friends, and I do hug them (definitely gals) after awhile, only after I became closer to them.

I still remembered last year during Chinese New Year, when I was celebrating with my aunt's relative, I have this awkward vibe when my aunt's sister in-law came over to bid me goodbye. I can see she was thinking whether to hug or shake hand with me, thinking I am a Chinese and rarely do they hug with others. So it turns out to be semi-hug-semi-handshake. AWKWARD.

Okay, enough of crapping. I need to write my report...... It might be holiday and festive season for others, definitely not for me this time this year. Hope for the better future next year!
