Home for Christmas...

After endless bouts of waiting around and uncertainties I finally got on to Elle's car for my trip home for Christmas.I was feeling nothing but "R"elief with the capital R.It had been a trying week or rather weeks for me as I wade through exams (yes,yet again!),class cancellations,class replacements,assignments,public speaking and a drama in between.So..the last thing on my mind was...

to walk into a dog kennel (aka my home) and have mom yelling at me that I should have just stayed back in KL for Christmas.What a nice start for Christmas huh? (smirks)

If the above scenario had happen as early as a year ago,I would have did just that.Pack my bags and hop onto the earliest bus back to KL.But that day,I was just too tired to argue.I was still clutching the bag containing mom's Christmas present which I had hunted all over Carrefour barely 24 hours earlier.I chucked that aside and found sleep at 4am.

I awoke to have mom feeling slightly guilty as she sat at the edge of my bed nudging me to wake up for breakfast.Instead of flashing her my "Ignore" signal,I decided I did just let the situation slip.Perhaps I have finally learnt that to forgive is divine.Or perhaps,I have changed for the better.

I decided to drive over to Gurney Plaza to do some really last minute Christmas shopping on the eve.Tough luck.As YK mentioned on the phone,I could hardly get past the security guards let alone park mom's bulky car.One wonders where the heck all the cars are coming from.Penang was practically flooded with cars and people!!!

I rushed home after having tea with my insurance agent at Dome and was again stuck for a good hour at the now infamous Gurney roundabout.I was practically late for Lich's party and had thought of skipping it had it not been Elyse's insistence on going.Hmm..could it be because of that new guy?Anyhow,the cream of the night or the entire trip had to be the countdown to Christmas...









I haven't had such a blast for ages during Christmas and this year definitely was the best Christmas since time immemorial.Thank you to YK and YN!!!(Muaks!!!Luv u gal lots!!!)We arrived about 45 minutes to midnight to find the whole Upper Penang Road aka the clubbing circuit choked with cars and flesh.Fortunately we managed to squeezed YK's Kelisa at an empty lot.From then on,there was no stopping us.Eventhough only a few of us could make it,we had such a great time.It was the first time me and YN actually saw YK wearing a spaghetti top and boy...can she dance...YN was equally sweet and sportingly jiggle the night away as the party heats up to Christmas.



We danced till 1.30 am before heading home reeking of cigarette smoke and alcohol.



I paid the price for partying and as a result woke up the next morning to realise I had missed the Christmas service.Something which I was not proud off.When I was finally on the driver's seat,I had to rush off to several places.Drop in at Uncle's place for lunch,get a cake for dad,buy tau sar biscuits,meet up with Kar Wai(I only get to see her once a year) and pick up bro from the airport from his trip back from Hong Kong.Throw in the traffic jams and the queues,I was dead tired by the time I finally reached home at 11pm.

And the next morning,a walking zombie was seen lugging around a backpack and a bright red handcarry with 3 boxes of tau sar biscuits boarding a cramped bus to KL...
