Coming Soon!

Could you believe it? It's already NOVEMBER!!! I feel almost sad as I write this: sad at how time flies, sad at how the present will soon fade to be a memory, sad at how things change so fast without us being aware of them.

Anyway, I didn't intend for this to be another gripy post. What I really wanted to say is:

Christmas is coming!!!


Last year's Christmas!!!


Christmas used to be just another public holiday for me - we never celebrated it so it was just another day for me. Recently, however, Sis and I decided that we would make it a point to celebrate this occasion - and provide an excuse for the whole family, extended members included, to gather and just be merry! The religious factor..uh...isn't the reason actually, rather because I come from a rather orthodox faith which doesn't talk about celebrating Christmas. If you think that's weird, click here.

So la la la...Christmas is coming!!! and so I made it known over dinner today.

Bro-in-law: Eh, my phone is giving me problems - it's spoilt.
Sis: All I want is a GPS for my car.

I tell you - my family is commercialised.

Oh well, if you can't beat 'em, you join 'em right? Hehehe. So, so, so (I'm coming to my favourite part now), what do I want for Christmas???

Shit. This can't be happening to me. I'm a girl. I'm supposed to think of a whole list of stuff like clothes, makeup, shoes and the like. But I'm not. Damn, what's happening to me? I must be having some weird hormonal imbalance but my time of the month is over!

Urgh. *Slaps myself* *Hard*

I must be stressed. Because I can only think of one thing right NOW. (and it doesn't start with "s")

Books!

Yes, books! That's what I want! I'm definitely getting geeky. (Ze: What are you talking about? You've always been a nerd.)

I'm getting rather obsessed over books these days. I find it really really tough to put down a book unless I'm nearly half asleep and the words all look like "chocolatechocolatechocolatechocolatechocolate" to me. I can exercise self-control over just about anything, except books. I don't understand it myself. I simply adore reading.

Probably because this is something that I really do out of sheer enjoyment. 100% enjoyment. And I'm getting slightly irritated now because I want to read but I'm typing this post. So I shall abruptly end it here. Goodnight.

Well you could also ask for a GPS enabled phone, for example!

Reading is good. One of my new year resolution is to break from the Malaysians' curse of not reading enough book. Yes, I am excited of reading I am still reading. My next new year resolution is to read more books.. haha!

Aiyaa...don't need all these express music thingy. I just want a functional phone. Plus I like the E66. It looks very very nice.
