Does 12 Days of Christmas Exist?

So, it's currenltly the 5th day of Christmas eh? That's if anyone believes in 12 days of Christmas, cause I sure do. The tree is still up and glowing. I didn't really take notice of the tree until last night. It was Thursday, so there isn't much to watch after Amazing Race Asia, Hope&Faith, According To Jim and Two and A Half Men. Yeap, that was all! So, was sitting on the couch, dazed at the tree. Then, I was like "WOW", the tree looks pretty. *slaps my forehead* What on earth am I talking about...

Anyway, I got my results back yesterday. I can't describe how 'sick' I felt the night before yesterday's. Was feeling so sick in my stomach. Almost every five minutes, I felt like throwing up. Didn't even laugh at the silly stunts of Tom&Jerry (don't ask!). I felt a sudden dreadful feeling. It's like I'm gonna be totally disappointed of my results the next day. I couldn't sleep till 3am. The next morning I had no appetite whatsoever to eat, so I just ate two half-boiled egg and felt like throwing up all over again. I even found it hard to breathe when I was about 400 metres away from my school. Results were supposed to be released at 10am. But it was delayed, THANK GOODNESS! It gave me time to calm down and to keep my nerves steady, or I thought so. Ended up, went at 12pm, my nerves started to freeze up! I couldn't feel my steps, seriously! I felt so giddy that I wasn't paying any attention to the people around me until I saw a few familiar faces then I started to calm down. That's when I bumped into my primary school teacher *gulp*, Pn Nurhaizan. She was there as an invigilator for the Form 6's examinations. Immediately after, I began shaking nervously. I felt my face going completely red! By the time I got to the canteen I saw tonnes of students already holding a piece of paper. And quite a number of them were crying. The worse part is, I had to take the results from our class teacher, Pn Grace, whom I dislike. I couldn't remember what really happened when I took my results, but I remember sobbing in my dad's arm right after. It was a relieved cry. Thank the Lord Jesus!!! So, I'm thankful for my results, come what may.

And for those who are not satisfied with their results, I know I can't say anything that can really make you feel better. I just want ya'll to know that I understand completely how you feel and you're definitely going to get through it. You have my support!

And did I mention how effing HOT it is, today??? It's like the sun rays are about to peel my skin of my body. The sun was and still IS so freaking scorching!!! A cold bath doesn't help either. At this matter of time, I'm wishing that I live in Antartica!!!

The Sleigh's Leaving The Roof

Merry Christmas Ya'll!!! Did Santa fill your sock with plenty of hohoho's this year?? GOSH! I've gotta stop saying that! I've been saying that non-stop for the past 2 days, it's starting to annoy me... Anyway, Christmas wasn't as good as I expected this year. It was quite meaningless because we didn't go to church. So christmas wasn't exactly Christmas with the capital "C". We celebrated at my aunt's house in USJ as usual. I wasn't really enjoying myself because there wasn't anyone suitable to talk to. My cousin had her boyfriend over, so I didn't wanna "lamp-post" between them. Plus, she was busy watching over her new Shi-tzu puppy named Hazel, who's so so so cute! Damn, which reminds me, I forgot to take a picture! Anyway, my uncle's white friend and his wife didn't come this year. I had fun talking to them last year, they were so funny and entertaining till' I sat with them and a bunch of adults instead of my cousins. So, that was missing. My other cousin and his wife wasn't invited this year. I click easily with that cousin because of my interest in football, he's another football fanatic. The funny part is, they weren't invited because my aunt thinks that they always turn her invitation down. Erm, the fact is, she seldom invites them. Or maybe there's another personal reason.

Anywaaaay, so I didn't talk much, which was so agonizing because I NEEDED to talk. Instead, I drank lots of cheap red wine at a corner watching my parents barbeque-ing which was a funny sight because we don't have a barbeque pit. And then my political uncle came by talking about politics and flooding issues which I didn't quite mind because I desperately needed to talk to someone. Actually, there were a few 'second' cousins around. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't being anti-social or anything like that, I love socializing. BUT the things that they talk about and the topics they find funny and even the jokes they crack up leaves me sitting there stunned with crickets in my head, you know that *twit twit*. Anyway, I had a couple of refills throughout the night. I didn't even care about the fact that the wine doesn't taste good, I just needed some alcohol that night. So, time ticked by... Hour by hour... I finally gave in and joined crowd. Had a couple of laughs and a couple of stunned silence. Then the KIDS came down to open their presents when it's 2 hours before the clock struck 12. Kids were cheering in excitment, snatching each other's toys and running around the house, SCARING Hazel (the dog) and ME!!! So, I HAD to grab another refill of wine. Then my cousin noticed that it was no joke that I really WANTED to drink. People started asking me if I was still sane and conscious, especially my dad, which eventually annoyed me. I don't remember getting drunk, but I do remember feeling giddy and was having a hard time fumbling for the car's door handle. And I sure remember my dad saying I was flushed and was testing me like a traffic police.

In the end we went home at 12, earlier every year. We opened our presents at home. Got some pretty stuff this year. Mostly bags. At least I didn't get anything childish like a Barbie doll pencil case last year, which made me laugh my freaking ass off all the way to bed. The best part, my parents gave me a Patrick plushie that I've been trying to buy for months!!! Everytime I wanted to stop by a shop to actually purchase it, they rush me off, saying it's silly for me to buy a "soft toy". Thankfully, they ended up buying it for me. Love it! I actually GAVE my brother all my Poke'mon cards, which were in the cupboard collecting dust. Well, not exactly all... I took out the hollow cards xD What? My brother isn't exactly a 'responsible' boy, at least not yet. As for my youngest brother, that poor thing... He's presents were a bunch of stationaries like pencil cases, crayons, colouring book... Not a single toy for him. While his older brother received a Bionicle. Justin, my youngest brother, was like "I don't like this... I want this... and that... and that..." looking all cute and emo at the toys. Poor thing!! I mean, he's only 4 years old. They should be getting him toys and not school stuff. Oh well, thankfully my parents bought him a bunch of HotWheels which made him hysterically happy. LoL. So, all is good. Could have been BETTER though. Well, next year then. We'll try and host our own party with lots and lots and LOTS of WINE!!! I guess tomorrow I'll write about what we did on Christmas day itself. Which also reminds me that PMR results are two days away. *Gulps*

I Want A Glowing Red Nose

...Omgz Omgz Omgz... Can you believe it? It's Chrismas Eve! Which means it's less than 12hours till Christmas, and less than 36 hours till Boxing Day! I hearing Jingles and HoHoHo's already. I'm currently at home, doing nothing besides watching TV and franctically waiting till it's 12 o' clock, which is 10 hours awaaay! As each hour passes by, I'm feeling soooo sleepy. Even though I woke up at 12pm today, mind you, I seldom wake up that late. Was watching football, AGAIN, last night. I don't friggin know why, but I've been watching too much football these days. Until every morning I would rush for the newspaper just to glance at the sport section. I'm telling ya, watching football is Bad Bad Bad for health. Here's why :

1. Late nights = Eye bags and OverFlooding coffee consumption (which I'm having a cup right now)
2. CouchPotatoNess = Flatter ass and over weightness (thankfully I don't fancy chips that much)
3. Bright Tv in the dark = My power has gone up which I haven't got new glasses for and school's re-opening really soon!
4. Stress & Suspense = I don't think my heart can take it any longer! Seriously, everytime the opponent approaches the goal, my heart just stops and I find myself holding my breath. I might die of a stroke before I turn 60. AND, the stress causes my stomach to secrete more acid. Which leads to...
5. Night hunger = Empty stomach urges me to have supper which I've been avoiding for the past two months (Go Me!) and the high acidity in PH level in my Stomach doesn't help either. I might have stomach ulcer and can never consume spicy food in peace ever again, which WILL be a HUGE nightmare for I can't survive without Hott&Spicy-ness once in a while.
6. Overfilled tank - You know what they say, when you gotta go ~ YOU GOTTA GO! But that doesn't apply when every minute someone tries to score and break seems like an hour away when there's only 10 minutes to go. So it's like being glued onto the couch while you hear the toilet calling your name...
7. The last and most deadly ~ Mental illness = I usually watch football alone at night because my mom thinks watching football is like waiting for Santa to fill my sock, a complete waste of time, and the matches I watch doesn't suit my Dad because we happen to support the opposites. Plus, my bro is so annoying after the clock strikes 12. So, I'm alone on the couch, in the dark, volume down, hearing crickets, no food, no water and bathroom for 45 minutes, only a 10 minutes break... I LITERALLY TALKED TO MYSELF. I kept on telling myself to take deep breaths when the score was 2-2 at the 92nd minute last night. So, yes, I was practically going mad.

Alright, rewind and FREEZE! I AM WATCHING TOO MUCH FOOTBALL! I really need to stop. The thing is, Chelsea's only two points behind ManUnited, and the pressure of people dissing Chelsea just makes me really anxious. Plus, I can't help feeling proud of Chelsea's fighting spirit. They never ever give up until the very last minute. Take last night's match for instance. I know it may be Chelsea playing weak yesterday because Wigan seemed so good, but at least Chelsea did not fret. Oh gawd... I HAVE to stop talking about football. It's supposed to be a Guy thing. I'm starting to feel the creeps x.x

So, I can't wait for Christmas (changing the subject)!! I wondering what kinda presents I'm gonna receive this year! Plus, I miss going to church during Christmas. I used to exchange presents with fellow church-mates and carolling. Now, I don't have a church to go to. Can't find a suitable one, but I think that's such a silly excuse! Haven't been attending church for 2 years now. And I fear that if I don't continue to attend, I may fall out. That's my greatest fear. I'm really hoping that we'll find a suitable church soon, because everytime Christmas or Easter or even Sundays come up, the first feeling I get is guilt guilt guilt. Oh, God. Please forgive this sinner. I shall be running back home soon enough, I promise!!!

We're Like Cars On The Cable

*Yawns loudly* I'm so friggin' sleepy. Slept at four and woke up at eight. Feeling tortured, coffee doesn't work the same way anymore! Anyway, woke up early to help my Grandma with her "Guotong" task. I helped her make 'tong yueen'. Erm, it's like a chinese delicacy. They use dough, shape it into tiny balls and boil em in sweet ginger water. Something like that... xD Now my arms and wrists are sore. I made about total a hundred BALLS in white, red and green. It was really pretty. But I have to say, the colours make em look scary and unsafe to eat but they're perfectly safe. Chinese delicacies are so so weird! I don't even know what are these 'tong yueens' for. I just help make and eat em. I used to love em. But now I guess I've grown out of it and find it rather hard to swallow. It's not very tasty actually. Because I hate hate hate GINGER! I'm willing to eat garlic, onions, or any related but GINGER is a sure NO NO to me! My hands are so smooth and soft now. Thanks to the flour!

Anyway, I'm currently online waiting for time to pass. I've spent the whole afternoon downloading songs by artists whom I've never heard of while doing some chores in between. I'm waiting "patiently" for Grey's Anatomy to finish downloading. Says here, it takes another three hours at the speed of 21kb/sec. Oh gawd!!! So, it's true what they say : It Takes Time For Pleasure. Darn, I love love love Grey's Anatomy. It seriously takes my mind off everything! Well, sort of. It's basically a show about surgeons. And the naration revolves around a "dark and twisty" and "scary and damage" intern, Meredith Grey. I've gotta say, her fellow interns are so fun to watch! This show has bits of drama, comedy and suspense. All in one, and it doesn't look as ridiculous as Scrubs. PLUS, there's a lot of SEX! Well, of course they're clean and I mean CLEAN. Which makes it funny and entertaining. There's also really great sacarsm by Dr. Christina Yang! I really enjoy the jokes and sillyness they crack up. Then there's the life-reflecting feature. Every surgeon has a story. No matter how dark or bright it is, they have a story. Every patient has a story. No matter how painful or blissful it is, they have a story. At the end of the day, everyone in the hospital are only human and no better or worse than any other fools who ever breathe. I cried a lot watching this show. Cried even more than watching Oprah xD So, you see how touching it can be? Anyway, I really recommend this show to anyone. But it's only suitable if you are matured and open-minded. If not, you'll probably be clueless about what the heck they're all talking about. For instance, I never knew what Poison Oak is, until now *grins*

Anyway, you get the point. Gahh, I have to walk over to the nanny's house to pick up my little annoying brother now. The worst part is, I have to babbysit him for at least two hours. Been doing this for the past two months, I think the shade of my hair is lighter than usual. Gawd, I'll have PURE WHITE hair sooner than I expected!!!

Jingle Bells and Colourful Wrappers are finally here!

I'm baaaacckk! No, I did not die and resurrect from the dead, so don't ask me how Princess Diana and Elvis are getting along . No, I did not travel the world in 2 weeks. And NO, I did not GET to visit Europe =((. I just overused limited shitt-ass streamyx and had to tie myself up from the net for a while before the bill hangs from the ceiling and reaches the floor. It feels like swimming 20,000 feet from under the sea up for air!!! The worst part is, streamyx is effing slow!!! It took about 5 minutes for blogger to start. Now that I'm back, blogspot simply hates me ='(( So, I'm still thinkin how I survived those 2 weeks... I haven't been going out with friends since November. Everytime something comes up I keep turning them down (NOT ON PURPOSE, CROSS MY HEART), my silly excuse will be No Transport (because my parents are busy working, poor me!) or I have to settle my list before 2007, which is a huge current problem! I've been stuck at home during weekdays, only went out during the weekends with my parents. Hmm... seriously! HOW DID I SURVIVE THAT???

Anyway, can you believe it? Holidays are going to end in 2 weeks time and I've still got a long list of things to do!!! The only good part is Christmas is coming!!! The tree is up with blue and silver decorations this year. Didn't manage to find turtle doves, which I was frantically looking for!! Already went for pressie shopping the day before and wrapped everything today. So excited! Once again, I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. I can hear the Jingle Bells ringing in my head. So, I've got the tree, the presents and the spirit (most importantly). So now, all I need is a bag full of decorations, a Mrs. Santa suit, a turkey... No wait, that's Thanksgiving, boxes of wine, Christmas Carols, greeting cards (Oh snap! I forgot to buy those) and a new Christmas sock in case Santa decides to visit Naughty Stephay this year =D Argh, I'm not ready for Christmas yet! Still got quite a number of things to get ready. I thought of celebrating somewhere different this year but NO, I have to celebrate at my Aunt's house (full of pesky kids and NO WINE) for probably the 9th or 10th year in a row. I wanna celebrate somewhere with non-stop drinking xD and people dressed in Christmas outfits. Won't that be more exciting??? Gah, I'll probably need to wait till I'm 18 then I'll fleeeeee! I really hope Christmas won't be depressing this year, my spirit is so UP, I'll be really devastated if it doesnt turn out well!!! Anyway, I gotta go off now, have to bathe and have a few things done before going out for dinner with Bitchy SueVern who decided to leave us and go for private schoool =( Ciaozzz!!

Highlights of the week : Chelsea's hott match against Everton and ManchesterUnited's loss to Westham. HAH, suck your own words, Ronaldo, Chelsea's only two points behind cha. Here We Come!!!!
