i hope you all had a very merry christmas. i know i did.
another christmas has passed. and i think i've grown up. well, i think i really should grow up even more. and not be so rebellious and be a person i would have hated back then.
christmas eve at school was exciting. i was yihan's secret santa. ayes, i'm glad you like the present. it's so damn pretty lah. i love the feeling of giving. hey girls, thanks for all the presents yeah. all the earrings. soooo prettaye! and after school, i rushed home to help mum with the preparations for christmas dinner that night.
christmas dinner was fantastic. mummy's roasted turkeys were yum yum. did you know you need about 4 hours to roast one turkey? the mashed potatoes, roasted chicken, spring rolls, curry chicken, fried noodles and rice, and garden salad and a ton of other food were heavenly. my mum's a super woman. i'm so proud of her. she managed to whip up a wonderful dinner for 27 people. do you think i'll be like that next time? will i be a great cook? but wait, i wanna be a taitai lah.
we took loads of pictures that night, hung out with the sisters and cousins, had present exchange, got pissed at the bratty lil cousins, got pissed at some of the relatvies, some of them are really a buncha ungrateful asses, ate alot of junk, shit, it'll go straight to the ass, replied some of the christmas sms-es, and there was cake cutting for dad's birthday. my dad's a christmas baby. haha, yeah that's about it. about 1am plus, they all left except for xiao shu who was staying at our place that night, cos most of the relatives came down from north malaysia, which is penang that side, for those poor in geog. hehe. =]
it was to the parents' room after we cleared up all the mess. it was about 2am, and we had gift exchange. we bought a lovely comforter set for mum&dad. it costs a bomb. but, at least mum said that's the first useful christmas present we've gotten them. and the sisters' got one another gifts. small but meaningful stuff. i like. doreen&daphne shared a white belt and four pairs of earrings for me. elaine got me some nice tribal looking bangles from sarawak. =] i've counted- i received 8 pairs of earrings this christmas. haha.
we left mum&dad to sleep then the four of us, sisters, had a heart-to-heart talk in my room till nearly 5am in the morning. tears&laughter were present. i realised they really care and are worried for me. i shouldn't take my family for granted. and i'm glad they understand me. i know i've changed since i've stepped into poly. sigh. i shall not do stuff to upset them anymore. i shall club only during hols. no more clubbing during term time. cut down on unhealthy stuff like smoking and drinking. be nicer to mum&dad. i promise. and i'll take care of myself and be wary of the assholic guys out there.
poor doreen, we didn't really helped her. i really don't know how to advise her. when she's finally found someone she really likes, and whom the whole family likes, she has to give up, maybe.
i love the family, maybe, i just don't show it. i just make them cry and worry for me. all that will change. all that has to change. i think i'm really blessed. my parents forgave me regardless of what i've done. if it was some other parents, i would have been kicked outta the house. and i can still laugh and hug and kiss and joke and talk to my mum&dad. i know of many people who don't do that with their parents anymore. and all the sisters love me so much. and when i read elaine's letter for me, i cried. i'm sorry, but i know we've drifted. now that we've cleared up the mess, we shouldn't be feeling so apart anymore. and she told me of all my qualities. it was an emotional christmas. my family's the world's greatest family. i'm really proud of all of them. every single one of them. what more can i ask for?
and i promise i'll be good in 2005.
got up pretty late on christmas day cos of the late night before that. had breakfast and after that i went up to my bedroom wanting to clear up the messy room that had hardly any place to walk, but instead, i fell asleep till like 2pm. got up and had yummyfied lunch. and we were later told that we would be going out for dinner, at this place in jb whereby it was famous for nasi lemak. no, a correction. eating nasi lemak on a treetop. the food there was pretty good. but damn ex lah. i think we were like paying for the ambience.
the relatives came back to our place for some coffee before xiao shu and his family headed to the airport to go back to alor star. and i spent the rest of the night clearing up my room. it took me like 3 hours lah. cos my room's damn messy. the drawers were packed to the brim. and the floor had almost no place to walk. all the christmas wrappers were strewn all over my room. after i finished clearing, i fell asleep almost immediately waiting for siangwei's reply. and he complained that he never heard me wish him goodnight before, cos i always fall asleep. hurhur.
and just now, daphne went back to her hostel cos she had some stuff on and doreen's on her way back to kl now. so there's only my parents, elaine&i left at home. elaine&i should spend more time together. she's going through a tough time now. sigh. boys.
i watched princess diaries 2 on dvd with elaine just now. i so wanna lead a princess life. whee. =] i was swooning over the guy. he's hot lah... erm, yeah, can't remember his name. after you look at him for a longer time, he's even hotter. I WANNA BE A PRINCESS. right now, i'm only princess looloo.
i think i've been stuffing myself with loadsa food this christmas season . i feel like a sea cow, quoted from jon chia.
i've not started on graph comm yet. tell me i'm screwed. i've got till thursday to complete it. cos on friday, the whole family except for doreen (she couldn't get leave) will be heading down to cameron highlands to spend the new year's there. kinda sad, i won't be partying the night away. but i'm sure i'll have fun with all of them. we will have fun. =] quite looking forward to it.
okay, i shall post up some pictures of the christmas dinner now. whee.
