Christmas 2007
Merry Christmas all!
A day late but nevermind.
So how was your Christmas this year?
Mine went by without much fanfare or bright lights or very fancy parties.
But very special nevertheless.
The night before, the Ling said she'd pick me up at 9.30 am.
I woke up at 9.36 am, woken up by the text message of the Ling standing right outside my gate.
Went to church, stomach growling like crazy due to not having had breakfast, and after it ended, Ling and I decided to go have lunch at Satellite Chicken Rice near Jalan Gasing. For old time's sake.
And no drive to Jalan Gasing can end without a walk back to Catholic High, riiiight?
We ended up going to the reading corner, and spending a long time there Talking.
Frankly, I've not Talked like that since 2007 begun.
Weirdly, 2007 had been a very, very peaceful year for myself. No unnecessary drama, no tears, no urgent need to call up a friend to complain about something or other.
Until of course, yesterday, when I realize I haven't been sharing much about myself to my friends.
And so back at the reading corner (that place back in high school where many, many secrets were exchanged), I shared much more than I thought I ever would.
Man I miss the times when I'd go to the Ling's place, or she'd come into my room, get into my bed in her school uniform ("I told you dun mess up my blanket loh!"), and we'd talk and talk, about Things and Life In General.
It still amazes me how the things she says are so deep and insightful.
Had a very, very wonderful Christmas dinner.
Roast lamb, jacket potatoes and sour cream, garden salad, errr broccoli (eww), sparkling wine. And a very lovely Christmas log cake.
Speaking of Christmas dinner, Chooiyen single-handedly kind of ruined Christmas Eve Dinner!
Because she was supposed to be looking after the chicken in the oven, but was too busy surfing the web and the chicken ended up getting a little burnt.
Partially to blame is my sister who has managed to contract chicken pox so that my parents have to get her to the clinic and leave me at home to attend to the chicken.
We ended up having dinner at 9.15 pm.
I never had chicken pox.
I took a vaccine shot 3 years ago.
So did my sister.
But she still has chicken pox now.
Chicken pox is highly contagious.
I might get chicken pox.
Incubation period is 2 weeks.
2.5 weeks = my birthday!
Shit shit I will probably have chicken pox on my birthday!
I thought vaccines were suppose to prevent you from contracting the disease?
Merry Christmas y'all!
