I went to Dick Smith’s to get iPods for Tristan and Lara. I pointed at the merchandise and said “I will have a blue one and a green one” and the salesman responded “is that for different moods or different people?”</p> <p> Thursday I did the rest of my Christmas shopping, including getting a gift for Secret Santa ritual at work. Usually stuff in Australia closes at 5 or 5:30pm, but Thursday before Christmas everything is open till midnight practically, if not in actuality. It was a mad rush! Friday we had Christmas lunch at work. The food was really nice and we had Christmas crackers and everything. Then everyone drew numbers and picked gifts and/or stole gifts from others. I never want to steal other people’s gifts because it seems rude somehow (I realize it is just a game meant for fun of course), but it is always entertaining to watch other people steal gifts. My gift was the last one to get unwrapped. Can I just mention here how awesome my new coworkers are and my new work environment is?</p> <p> Friday I flew down to Canberra. The airport was surprisingly uncrowded for this time of year. The aeroplane was mostly empty. When I got to Canberra, Tristan had his earphones on listening to music, and I thoughts to myself, I definitely got him the right gift. Lara was excited about her iPod too, although I think she was more excited about the games and the possibility of putting music on it. Dad already has the DVD I got him, which was unfortunate.</p> <div class="JournalEntryLinks">public [<A HREF="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/entry/20071222.0721#comment">comment</A>, <A HREF="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/entry/20071222.0721">link</A>, gj, <A HREF="http://plicease.livejournal.com/331625.html">lj</A>, <A HREF="http://plicease.deadjournal.com/308189.html">dj</A>]</div><div class="JournalTags">tags: <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/airport"><nobr>airport</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/australia"><nobr>australia</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/blue"><nobr>blue</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/canberra"><nobr>canberra</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/christmas"><nobr>christmas</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/christmas_crackers"><nobr>christmas crackers</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/colour"><nobr>colour</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/coworker"><nobr>coworker</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/disk_smith"><nobr>disk smith</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/family"><nobr>family</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/green"><nobr>green</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/ipod"><nobr>ipod</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/lara"><nobr>lara</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/s-mart"><nobr>s-mart</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/salesman"><nobr>salesman</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/sealing_gifts"><nobr>sealing gifts</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/secret_santa_ritual"><nobr>secret santa ritual</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/tristan"><nobr>tristan</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/work"><nobr>work</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/瑞恩"><nobr>瑞恩</nobr></a>, <a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/tag/賢"><nobr>賢</nobr></a> </div> </div>
