One Week of Laziness

Today marks the start of the one week Christmas shutdown my company effects every year.

One week during which I could sleep until awaken naturally, not by the annoying tinny beeps by the hand phone.

So what are my plans? I don't plan to join the exodus out of the country. Furthermore it's crazy to travel in this period, what with the screaming kids/brats on school holiday and absurd peak period surcharges.

The year I went to Taiwan, I paid a large sum of money to spend 60% of the journey riding the bus, 30% being dragged through local shopping outlets so that the tour guide could get fat on commissions.

So I'm going to while away the week, reading and drinking tea when it rains, binging on DVDs and visit the Louvre exhibits on loan in the National Museum of Singapore.

Sounds good, no?
