MERRY CHRISTMAS!!Wa so fast already Christmas loh. Our celebration started yesterday, which is also my mum's birthday. We went over to my naggy aunt's place. I was really quiet thre cuz I wasn't close to any of my paternal cousins. We watched Polar Express in my grandmother's room. Her tv is really small. For dinner, I ate LOTS of turkey and ham. Oh my grandmother practically forced me to eat it. She says that no protein, stupid. It's kind of an insult to me because I hate meat and love vegs. But I also know that protein doesn't help the brain produce more brain cells, so, whatever. I felt really nauseous after eating the turkey and ham. I ate like the same amount of meat I would eat in a month. Then it was present time. I received 2 presents. Just opened them and found that both were from Happy House. One was a teeny tiny bag and the other is some wallet mixed with pencil box mixed with card holder. And then there was also jelly beans for the whole family.^^ My sis received panties while my mum received lingerie. My sis was swearing about it while my mum promised to buy training bra for my cousin next year. Lucky for me, my aunt didn't make me do any mind maps like I did last year. That was horrendous.
And today we went to my other grandmother's house. I'm much closer to her. Dinner was much nicer too. More vegs than meat.^^ My cousins were there too. We went upstairs to the bedroom to play the Alvin And The Chipmunks soudtrack. My sis turned off the lights and we pretended we were in a disco. I used a torch to make it look like the flashing lights in a disco. We took turns to do solo dances and used the torch as a spotlight. Hey turns out my cousin plays Audition too! I'm looking forward to the time I can play with her. Then we watched How The Grinch Stole Christmas. It was quite nice, except for the fact that everyone had funny hairdos. What's up with that? Lol. There was also present time. We didn't receive individual presents from my cousins, but rather a family gift. They gave us(me, my sis and my bro) shirts that were bought from Vietnam. It looked pretty weird but I guess it's the thought that counts. See, I'm so thoughtful and grateful!=P And who knew, my parents also bought us presents. There was this video game that I dono how it works and a new game card for the DS! It was Cooking Mama 2, my sis's dream game. She was really happy and she's playing it right now. Right after I post, haha it'll be my turn to play that game.(I'm almost done now!)
I guess the main thing about Christmas is the joy of giving. It's like the only time when kiasu Singaporeans feel happy sharing their gifts and also when foes become friends. Wow I'm getting sentimental. Haha. We should cherish Christmas because without it, there will never be a time when there are no conditions for receiving something free.
bye!
