simple fun

it was a rather simple but interesting christmas i must say. i didn't plan to do anything or specially meet anyone this festive season, but somehow, it was still quite enriching.

jess house on wednesday! we chatted, joked around, cam-whored, watched movies, played cards, did the usual stuff basically but it was really enjoyable. drank a bit too but i got damn red and slightly high after that. ah well, good way to wake me up actually. haha!

photos will be up soon! i'm so lazy to post them up now cos it's sooo late now.

and then christmas day!! woke up, went with mum to send dad to work, and then went to vivo. saw mr siva performing on stage! wondered if he actually saw me looking at his performance, but ah well. mum forced me to treat her to gloria jeans coffee (i've been often forced to treat ever since i started having excess cash from tuition.=X)

the main thing is, I DROVE TODAY!! haha i must say it's quite an achievement. i drove from tanjong pagar to home, and from home to the pasir ris courts/ikea/giant megastores. ok lar, the ride was rather smooth cos of three reasons:
(1) it was a public holiday so roads were extra empty
(2) i could park cos it was a head straight in kinda lot
(3) the car had a total of 3 drivers 'driving' at the same time, namely my bro, mum and myself

i'm still not confident of my driving though (i didn't want to say this, but even though i've passed for 1 year 3 months, i still put up the p-plates JUST IN CASE.=X). but anyhow, i haven't driven since september i think, and so i should think it was quite a breakthrough. my mum and bro should be glad i can't drive on my own yet so i won't fight with them for the car. i shall be contented with public transport at the moment. heh.

had quite a nice dinner too! home-made steak + sausage + campbell soup + (special for the day) red wine! i must say first that my family members, other than my bro and i who drink very occasionally for the fun of it, do not drink alcohol at home, so this was actually the first time we did so. somehow, i feel that it was a nice day spent with my family. we never really did celebrate christmas (or any other festivals or bdays or anniversaries for that matter), so even if it was just a simple meal at home, it still felt good. =)

then, i went to become a 'santa claus' by playing mahjong. those who had played money with me before would know that i NEVER EVER win money from mahjong before. i always lose money, and am always the biggest loser.=( played with ja marcus and bess for 1/4 round and i lost $3.80. so people love to play with me rite, cos i always finance their winnings. =X luckily it was a short game, if not i'd have lost A LOT more. haha!

two days of simple fun. time to really treasure my holidays and make better use of the time! special thanks to jocelin for planning our timetable! omg i was how lazy the entire holidays and she just did everything for us. and thank goodness she's helping me to bid when cors open. if not i really dunno what to do when i'm in taiwan.

and and...i must say dennis is really such a lovely freshie. he msged me from indo wishing me merry christmas and we ended up msging each other even though each sms is probably like 10 times more expensive than if he were to be in s'pore. somehow, his smses or the things he say will always brighten up my day.=) thank goodness for black rose. i really really REALLY appreciate having such a wonderful og.

i think this must have been the third or fourth time someone asked me this holidays, "why are you not getting a bf?" wow.
