Christmas Celebrations

On Christmas Eve, i got let off an hour earlier than usual. Was back home at 5pm because my driver got lost while trying to pick me up. Yes, he still gets lost on the island. don't know why... Made some tiramisu for a party on Christmas day while watching Madagascar and waiting for time to pass. We decided we weren't going to the crowded 6pm mass with the kids (!) and their poor parents, so the only other option was the midnight mass. But their midnight mass STARTS at midnight, unlike the 11pm mass at home which ENDS at midnight. so i was yawning away by the time we got to church. nowadays, my bedtime is granny 11pm. this was way past bedtime!! it was still enjoyable and we got to wish father jerry a merry christmas. that was nice.

Yesterday we went to F and C's house for turkey lunch/tea. there were sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts and parsnips too. bursting at the seams after that meal. then we watched national treasure on DVD. it was a pretty exciting show and i liked it although nicholas cage isn't one of my favourites. then we went off for another party. one of our friend's mother and mother-in-law were in town so we had some really delicious chinese food for dinner!! both mums were super cute, reminded us of our own mums in fact. i guess all mums are the same!!

Today we are having a lazy day. it's still a holiday here - Boxing Day. just lazing around.

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)
