Christmas Cheers…
Hmmm..…
What can I say?…
The weather sucks…
Simple logic of H2O falling from the sky to the ground…
In the northern hemisphere, people call it snow. White, soft, beautiful crystals float gently across the scenic landscape and eventually cover entire road, trees, houses and gardens. Gradually, everyone puts on their coats and sweaters and comes out to play. Kids and adults alike laugh ecstatically as they build snowmen, play snowball fights, roll about and make snow angels on the ground….
At the equator, the people here call this rain. Wet, wet, rain….
Darn the stupid downpours…
But, munching on HER homemade star-shaped chocolate chip cookies made my insides feel so warm and cozy in spite of the cold winds and rain pelting on the windows. It was as if the freak thunderstorms were non-existent at all. I am cuddled up in my chair, wrapped up in my blanket, listening to my favorite songs and thinking about the movie “The Holiday” we watched yesterday. Oh well, it is the holiday season, a season of giving and sharing, a time of happiness and celebration, so I kind of expected a happy ending to the romantic film. But it was very nice nonetheless, as the good people got what they deserved, which was each other, and the bad people probably got screwed by karma. After that, we went for a not-so-appetizing dinner at sushi tei. It was so amusing watching her poke and play around with her jap curry soba like a curious child experimenting with a worm. Simply adorable! Wished I have gotten all that on video…..
Soon after, we searched around orchard for some stuff we wanted to buy, while braving the strong winds and fierce rain under her little green umbrella. All thanks to her, I finally found the giant cookie monster plush I have been searching high and low for. It was entirely her idea to go takashimaya, and it was as if fate has blessed me with… Err… This wonderful girl… To find the one thing that was so hard to… Errr… Find…. Haha… Funny, I have been to almost every toys‘r’us on the island for the past few weeks and it was all sold out. Finally, on the long but enjoyable bus ride home, I managed to give her the stuff that I have gotten for her donkey years ago. A harry potter poster from JB two years ago, an orange bottle from Taiwan one year ago, a glass necklace for her birthday five months ago, and a calendar with breathtaking pictures of Scotland for her Christmas present. (See, if we went out MORE OFTEN, I would not have saved up so many gifts for you until now) Anyway, besides having enjoyed the cookies and the movie, and finding the perfect Christmas present for my sis, I got something else too. Something a sane human being would never think of. And it was crazily spontaneous coming from her incomprehensibly complex mind. Better still, she also did not know why and how she came up with it. Something that sounds sweet but super gay at the same time. Guess what it is…..
A new nickname…
(Let’s just keep it a secret between us okay? But fine, you can call me that whenever you want. But be sure to lower your voice slightly when we are in a publicly accessible place. I know I am cute, but you don’t have to shout. And I will call you by your new nickname too… =p)
Happy Holidays Everyone!…
