This blog shall cease to update. A brand new year, a brand new beginning!
If anyone wants to know where I've gone to, I can be emailed
here.
So, with that, have a spankin new year, everybody!
Here's the reason why I was being stared at yesterday.
Yup, I was wearing that about. How cool :)
And our cousin Christmas Eve tradition was to be kept. Hence,
I was feeling a bit self-obsessed yesterday, so we were taking lots of pictures on my camera. On top of that, we went to take neoprints for momento. I happen to love the neoprints! We were going a little psychotic. I don't think we've gone out much since forever. And I was suddenly bursting out laughing for no apparent reason. It's dangerous. Imagine if I emerge to be some sort of businesswoman and we have to hold a meeting and I have a cup of coffee. Note to self, don't touch it till the meeting's over. I may just blow off every bit of the chance I have.
So anyway, at night, coussie came down while we caught A Blessed Christmas on tv which was kind of lame, some bits were funny, and most importantly there were quite a few local singers who can...
really... sing. That, I thought, was pretty rare. :p Cough.
We carolled to ourselves thereafter. It was still a long way to midnight, so she taught me a bit of french. I was having more troubles remembering the pronunciation as opposed to the word. French may be sexy but it's hard. HARD. We then proceeded to play boggle as we had nothing better to do, and finally counted down before she left. After midnight, Power98 was playing non-stop Christmas hits, and I was delightedly singing to myself before I fell asleep. It was very Christmasy!
This morning, I woke up doe-eyed, semi-blind without my glasses and saw a present sitting on my table. I just took it to my parents room and madly ripping it apart. A top. No trace of who the sender might be. I was going crazy, asking my mum and dad and they both had no clue. Finally the lazy ass brother woke up and walked into the room and said, "It's from me lah. You think Santa really came and left you a gift is it?"
But...
But...
:p
Just made Christmas brownies that weren't very successful. Still.
Merry Christmas everybody!
As of the second year of my cousin tradition, I'm high on caffeine again. What's new? :)
Coussie and I were out for a wee bit to walk about and I got stared at
a lot. I'm gonna get used to this whole staring scene soon. Please, people, stare at me. I love it. Not.
Merry Christmas!
I feel like I've done more today than I've done in the last 5 days. Or maybe the shopping was more satisfying the previous days. But hey, I meant in terms of constructive work. :p
Let's see...
- helped mum with laundry
- changed the bedsheets for me and bro
- experimented in the kitchen with bro with beef patties and eggs (oh yeah we were trying to make sunny side ups yesterday. complete failure. It's tough!)
- watched 5 episodes of Laguna Beach on the computer and 1 episode on MTV
- wrote 4 more christmas cards today
- filled up the huge container outside with water to water the plants. trust me, it took 3-4 times of filling up the pail from the kitchen to the balcony.
- cleared half the shelf on my table
- filled up a huge recycling bag with books
- called up juniors to ask if they want my books - none.
Why does NOBODY want ANYTHING? Should I really throw all these hard work, these notes away? Trust me to be
kiasu enough to accept all the seniors' notes. I just realised I never referred to any of them at any point of time. They're just taking up space under my bed. UGHH.
By February, my room should be spick and span cos I'd have finally managed to throw out everything possible.
I'm so tired but I can't wait for tomorrow. *innocent*
Oh yeah I'm actually getting into the Christmas mood. Been singing a lot of Christmas songs, have plans with coussie on Christmas Eve and perhaps do some Christmas cookies on Christmas itself! HOLLA!! ;-)
And then I'll most likely see everybody again on Tuesday when I have to go back to school to select subjects. That'd be cool, I miss everybody! My only complain is to have to put on that uniform again. I thought I'd have rid of it already! I mean yeah a weeny teeny bit does miss that uniform but heaven forbid, I don't like wearing it really. lol
It's the eve of the eve of the eve of Christmas! How cute! I officially turn 16 years and 4 months. :)
A point to make. I usually get disappointed when it's something
I've done, or something
I organised or suggested that didn't turn out as good as I wanted it to be. Yes, me me me. When it's something that is someone else's responsibility, I usually don't have as high expectations as I do on myself, thus I usually don't get disappointed otherwise. Even though I aim low most of the time, I do actually have high expectations of myself, it's just that people can't tell sometimes. Okay I'm done with the point I needed to make.
Moving along, I was bunking out last night away from the comfort of my bed - oh the soft cushions and mattress, the abundance of clean water, the isolation from strange creepy people and places. No doubt it wasn't as fun as I hoped for it to be, it was a really nice experience sharing time with people. I had a lovely time lying on my back, gazing at what is supposedly called a starry night in Singapore with an extremely golden yellow glowing moon. (Don't correct me, I know we see the moon cos of the reflection of light. I choose to call it the glowing moon here.) It was a pretty sight. It was creepy though cos I'm a wuss when it comes to hanging out outside when it's extremely dark and there are lots of trees around. My imagination can kill. If I'm to go to the toilet alone, I imagine looking at the mirror and seeing more than just me in the reflection. When I'm in the cubicle, I imagine some random door clicking open or close though nobody seems to be the culprit of the actions. When I turn on the tap, I imagine some
thing creeping up from behind with a rope to strangle me while I wash my hands.
Second point to note, I should never ever watch horror films.
So there, I am a wimp. :)
Anyhow, I had about an hour or so of sleep tops. I had a hard time making my eyelids not shut back immediately when it's open. I was yawning away, somewhere between the conscious world and the unconscious one, somewhere between dream and reality. But by the afternoon, I was like *snap* awake. I still am right now, and it's almost like I had double shots of espresso or something. Thing is, I didn't. So it's extremely odd that my body isn't screaming at me for depriving it of sleep. Hmm. I think I should sleep for 12 hours straight tonight. :p If I were studying and had only that little amount of sleep, I would
so be grouchy right now and demanding sleep right away. Funny how holidays twist your body reactions.
Last night was nearly like how it felt on the last day of the O's, crashing at Brenda's place. It was that bad, wide awake. I think I suffer from insomnia when I'm away from home. Or maybe I just can't live without my bed.
And I never knew Pasir Ris beach forbids swimming in the sea. Hmm.
Despite the slightly uneventful night, it was so laidback, it's almost like I haven't been out and feel this laidback in ages. It feels good. It feels like I'm on a holiday, and I haven't truthfully felt like that since the holidays began. While it really was a lovely night and I truly liked the feeling of it last night, I just wished it'd been better. Still, even though I was so deprived of sleep, I would do it again... it's just gonna need a whole lot more planning. :p
And when I returned home today, I found 3 cards lying on my table. Oh bless! I LOVE receiving stuff by mail. Heh. I'm just gonna have to rush through this stack of unwritten christmas cards. So gonna reach everybody late. Erp. And in 5 days advance, Merry Christmas!
