And I am missing them terribly.

Pardon the gap in posting again. It's the holiday blues.

Christmas may not be officially celebrated here in Cambodia but I - and the rest of the expat community - are obviously still caught in the middle of the holiday spirit. I was running around the past few days shopping stuff, especially for my nephew and nieces at home. You see, my brothers went home for the holidays and saw this opportunity to send presents home through them. This despite my disapproval of the "commercialised" nature of the holiday. Admittedly, I found myself buying presents for the kids. I think I'm just suffering from guilt and homesickness. You know, I'm a very doting Aunt and I haven't seen them for more than three years now and I miss each one of them so much. They are sweet kids and they - two girls (ages 5 and 3) and a boy (age 7) - have been waiting for me to come home for Christmas since 2008. So I just rationalised in my mind that Christmas is for kids and, as the saying goes, it is better to give than to receive... so there you go, can you blame me? ^.^

Also, I just got my new credit card so you can say that I'm giving it a test run, lol. I don't think it's one of those rfid credit cards that many people are talking about. How do you know if your card has rfid? Please someone, tell me.

Anyways, have a happy holidays, everyone.
