Got to hand it to Wolverine (Hugh Jackman). He played Jean Valjean the main character sooo amazingly in Les Miserables - the musical movie. I loved this movie - much more so than the musical I saw 15-20 years ago? It moved me to tears.
Our holiday trip to Toronto for two weeks was as usual, a bit chilly but a very good time. We spent quality time with friends and family - didn't feel "too" rushed like usual. Spent a lot of time in car (inevitable) and way too much time eating (I walk more in one morning in HK than in 3 weeks in US and Canada - no joke). At times I get nostalgic about life in Toronto (not nearly as much as hubby though :) ). As expected the kiddies grew much bigger, more talkative and sadly, some were in and out of clinics all holidays. Wish them fast recovery.
I also quit my job the week before Xmas while with my bosses in the U.S. It was liberating. 4.5 years and two countries later, the 'two year itch' is definitely kicking in now! Anyway, I'm going to take a Asia Pacific strategy role in HK; starting in late January. Not that excited to be honest. I was way more excited to quit than to ramp up steep learning curve in a new job. So...I have at least another week off. Haven't had time off in .... YEARS (last time I switched jobs, i only took the weekend off!)
Need to find more errands or hobbies; reading? running! buying work clothes? cleaning? Will take a short weekend trip to China... but to be honest... i'm kind of tired as I had not been home for 3+ weeks.
All the best to my friends and family in 2013. Its the Year of the Snake!
