Christmas is overr. I'm suddenly saddened as I think of that 'cause Christmas is my favourite season of the year. But anyhow, Christmas this year was pretty good. As all Christmases are, in my opinion!
Let's start from Christmas eve. Went for midnight mass with the family plus Christian. Then headed to Clement's place for the party. I can't believe I walked there! I talked alot and ate alot. Oh, and Victor asked me if I'd heard of a Jed Elliot Ong in my school. I was like, I think so, why? Then he told me about some inter-jc pageant thing. Hmmm never knew such a thing existed before! Saw Melissa for the first time in the longest time ever too! :) Wish I had more time to catch up with her but the place was so crowded and noisy that I couldn't talk very much. Anyway. One of my New Year's resolutions will be to keep in touch with people who mean alot to me 'cause I seriously suck at keeping in touch with people. So I'll call more, talk more, and in the case of Khin who's overseas, I'll write more and I'll email more.
Left his house at about 330am then came back home to have a hot steaming cup of milo and ham with dad and Carol. By the time I went to bed, it was probably close to 5am, but I was to excited to fall asleep! Told you I love Christmas haha. Got up at 11am on Christmas Day then went up to my grandma's place for my Christmas lunch! Then went to the room for a nice long nap 'cause we were just waiting for the rest of the extended family to come along so we could all open our presents together. Then headed downstairs for the nice Christmas barbeque and to meet the extended extended family! Meaning my dad's cousins and their kids. Oh and my little cousin Ethan who's Chinese-American Eurasian just came back from America and he was so jet-lagged, the poor kid! He was rather grouchy. And I just found out that he's not even one yet. Gosh, all this while I was thinking he's bigger than that, 'cause he's so mature looking. (Can you even call a baby mature? Hmm.) Left the barbeque early to go to Ee-ee Bridget's place to say hello to my mother's folks and to open presents there too. Oh and Koko Jo's family left on the 26th for Vietnam. That means no more Darren and Tania 'til Chinese New Year. :( On one hand, that means I'm happily free from Barney and Bob the Builder, but on the other hand, I'll really miss them.
And so my Christmas's over. I was happy-sad 'cause I really enjoyed myself.. But I didn't wanna say goodbye to Christmas yet. Ohwell, there's next year's Christmas to look forward to.
Spent Boxing Day clearing up the mess on mom's table. The mess I'd made while making Koko Maggie's present and while writing my Christmas cards. Oh speaking of which, I really HAVE to draw up a list of people I wanna send my cards to next year. It was terrible this year! I missed out so many people. Then I started on one of the gp comprehensions and did a bit of the 1100 words book. Resolved to finish the compre yesterday but Trina called and I ended up talking to her for quuuitee a long time 'cause we hadn't spoken for a bit. Then Cheryl called while I was yakking away to Trina so I had to call Cheryl back again. So there went my resolve. And there went my afternoon nap. Cheryl's probably in Malaysia now.. Have a good trip dear! :) Went for mass at Novena Church then went down to Raffles City. Indulged in a major shopping spree and bought two tops and black skirt from Mango (they were having their end-of-season sale by the way) and a pair of jeans from Giordano. Okay, so that didn't look very major, but I wouldn't spend the amount I spent last night when I go out shopping alone. So it's pretty major to me, in financial terms.
Speaking of Raffles City last night. The most appalling thing happened. This woman crashed headfirst into me as I was walking and she scraped my foot. To my utter amazement, she didn't even look the least bit apologetic for nearly maiming me for life. You know what she did? She immediately turned to clutch tightly at her boyfriend as if I was about to scratch her face. And only when she was in the safety of his scrawny frame did she dare to turn to look at me hostilely. I was like what the HELL. I mean seriously. Two reasons why she clutched at him in vain. Okay, maybe three. Number one, he probably couldn't have protected her anyway if I'd really wanted to scratch her. Number two, it was her fault!! (I think.) Lady, you weren't exactly a fairy that floated with pretty fairy-lightness over my foot. Try an elephant maybe, seeing how badly you scraped my poor tortured appendage with your considerable weight. And number three, she looked utterly completely totally ridiculous. It's a personal conviction of mine that girls should never never clutch on to their boyfriends as if he's the only thing that's stopping her from tipping over. If I ever ever EVER have a boyfriend and I ever forget, I may just kill myself. Stomped into Mango feeling severely severely outraged then retail therapy kicked in and I felt better.
Homework now then gonna go down to town or something with mom before meeting Gillian and Koko Rosa. And I wanna sleep.
