Merry Christmas one and all! (before u say anything… let me remind u that there are 12 days of Christmas )

So, what have I been up to this Christmas? Nothing much really… the usual stuff. House hopping on Christmas Eve for food… church on Christmas morning… oh… and lunch together. Most years, the Tiongs also invite us over to their house for buffet, singing, fellowship etc… etc…  but this year, they went on holiday. (I wanna go holiday oso!! )

Anyway, it was a good thing… coz this year, Nachammai got married!!! Her wedding reception was held on Christmas night at the Royal Kedah Club. Wonderful eh? The first one of the bunch to tie the knot. Best of all was that many of us were back for the hols… great opportunity for a reunion! Goodness knows when will be our next? … or an even bigger question… WHO will be next? Hahah… Nachammai makes such a beautiful bride… I haven’t seen her since we got our SPM results I think! That’s like… 6 years? As for the rest, I have managed to meet up with them at least once or twice when I was back for hols.

They all ‘pakat’ to wear punjabi suits for the wedding… for me, it was really a last minute decision. I don’t have one myself, neither did I have the time to go borrow one. My sister’s was too small, and my mom’s was too big… dig dig dig deeper into my mom’s wardrobe… and I found one that my aunt bought for her in India. Just the right size for me… but rather shiny… coz there were soooooooooo many sequins!! I was so afraid that I would be shinier than the bride… HAHAH! But I found out later that I can never outshine an Indian bride… she has waaaaaaaaaaaaay more sparkly, dangly jewellery on her. LOL. Food was yummy… coz it was Indian food. Yaye. I like! There was Indian music, a sax player, a few singers and a keyboardist to entertain the guests. The whole reception was a pretty simple one. Not too many speeches and all. Short and sweet.

With the happy couple

Must camwhore abit since we're all dressed up

Needed some distraction yesterday…. So Theresia and I popped over to Orchard after her work to watch Avatar in 3D! In the afternoon, she checked online for all the timings of the show at every cinema… SMS me with a different place every few minutes coz the seats were either full or not the 3D version… haha… thanks yar gurl! Finally one place which wasn’t full. Lido. The show itself was totally amazing. The effects are just breathtaking. I can almost feel them next to me. we kept trying to grab the ash and jellyfishy things… So much action… fighting, slashing, smashing… adrenaline rush! Great. Haha… Please go and watch it if you haven’t. I would watch it again if I weren’t going home today. Here’s the theme song, I See You, by Leona Lewis. Sat through the credits just to listen to the song again.

I’m giving myself 3 days. 3 days to heal. Nothing more. After which, I shall be renewed by the Spirit and things of the past shall stay locked up in the past. As in Lea Salonga’s song… “Onward always onward… forward always up”. My future awaits and I shall look up for the help I need.

Warning first… this is going to be a bimbotic post….

Went shopping… 2 days in a row…

First day, I blame it on Theresia… coz we went to Somerset… tried some new Indonesian cafe… for the first time I tried bakmee… it’s really really full of MSG… so freaking thirsty after that! The martabak is not too bad… but pretty oily. But this isn’t the really sinful stuff… I bought a dress and skirt from Forever 21… the WONDERFUL MAGNIFICENT 4 STOREY FOREVER21 that just opened a week or so ago!!!!!!!!!!!! Skirt for Christmas, and dress for my next partaaaaaaaaayyy. Dawei’s New Year party perhaps? That is if I decide to go…

Second day, I blame it on Siew Kee…. she altered some pants she bought at Mango a week plus ago and asked me to help her collect. So, I went to do some shopping solo today. Wah wah wah!!! SALE SALE SALE everywhere I turn!! *faintz* But really, I hate shopping on Sundays. So freakin many ppl. Every shop I enter, I feel like going one quick round and getting out of there. At least the ventilation at Vivocity isn’t too bad. It was hot and stuffy at Wisma Atria yesterday. Ugh…buay tahan. Bought a blouse at some random shop called Nichii. Versatile. Can wear to work (as if I have a job now.. hahaha…) but works well pairing it with something casual too. Great.

Got some Christmas prezzies for ppl… and a truckload of chocolate and candy from Candy Empire!!! Hehehehehehe Yum yum… finally they have brought in fudge!!! I LOVE fudge! So much that I made Paro bring them back all the way from London for me! I’ve only managed to buy fudge once at Candy Empire… at Changi Airport… All other times, no more stock. This time, I kiasu… bought 2 kinds… One with Bundaberg rum in it… and another with Johnnie Walker Old Scotch Whisky… hehe… later mabuk. High on candy and alcohol.
