after wrapping almost 20 over presents straight, i felt like a wrapping machine. but its all joy and fun i had plus some backache while wrapping the pressies. just as i thought that i bought fewer gifts this year, i was wrong!! i bought a few more and more friends are getting into the "no limit" monetary category.
i bought nice presents for everyone, or at least i hope everyone who got my presents are pleased with it!! last year, it was crabtree and evelyn, this year, i bought most of my stuff from marks and spencer...hmm..where to get presents next year then?
buying gifts is really a bit of pain, joy coupled with body aches and hunger as you try to wheeze through the crowd in the malls. but i still love christmas, nothing beats the christmas spirit, its an official reason to binge on shopping.
i emceed for ivy's wedding last night, it was held at my favourite place, chijmes. she had the navy officers in their number 1 marching in and she walked under the swords they lifted up. it is every girl's dream come true, to hold a wedding at such a nice chapel, smart officers marching in for you and have yourself surrounded by good friends...ahh...sweet.
i think kei will have something like that too, cant wait to see her wedding!! this silly kei keep having this mindset that im such a terror, you so scared of me meh?? ok then, i will terrorise you more!!!
such an eventful 2007, im going to look ahead and make sure that i will be happier in 2008.
一定要更开心，一定要更幸福，我才是那永远灿烂的纳纳！！！
to a greater year and nothing less that that, everyone, cheers!!

here's how you know christmas is in the air you breathe...
- you start to buy things for yourself unreasonably.
- you start to "sieve" out people from your life.
- your friends start to fall into monetary categories like the "$15-$20" cat, "below $50" cat and "no limit" cat.
- your credit card gets swiped as if you have an unlimited amout in your bank.
- you feel victorious lugging many shopping bags.
- everywhere makes bee line in the toilets, in front of the cashier, in front of all the possible restuarants you can find in town.
- you hear christmas songs ringing in your ears, everywhere you go.
- and you are not tired of singing or humming along to the same christmas song you just heard in another shop.
- you freeze no matter where you go.
- trying to find another present for yourself and maybe for another friend.
christmas is sweet..i love christmas...

i wonder if my health is deteriorating...i never fail to feel a deep strain in my chest and a racing heartbeat whenever i hear or see something unjust aka when im provoked. or when i feel troubled, i will have this pain in between my eyebrows, unusual as compared the normal migraine i get. deep breaths my dear, calm down, these idiots are just not worth it. somehow i know i still cant forget what has happened, like what twinnie said but i really want to put it all behind. friends, a part of me which strongly lives for it has suddenly died but i will not bury myself in it. i will walk out of this and stand tall.i hate the sight of you. you and your naive friends, please get away as far as yr legs could carry you. i and my beloved friends will live happily ever after in lala land. you may kiss our footprints.ok nah, be nice.

the weather denotes the season for hibernating under the sheets and for hunger pangs. it has been a habit to get hungry after 1am and the sara lee pound cake in the fridge has found a new owner, me.
ok..till the next post..nah nah out.

i watched golden compass today, was a little disappointed with the storyline, perhaps i had high hopes for the show but it fell below my expectations, unexpectedly. i thought the som parts didnt link up well, eg,why did nicole kidman suddenly appear at the dinner? why did she take lara to the north? is she really her daughter? why did they have to be separated? why is everyone so bothered by "dust" other than they make people sneezed? to me, some characters make every word that they said sounded so "memorised".
oh well, i guess many will flock to the bookstores to check out the next instalment and like what the speaker at the reading seminar said, these authors will then only need to write and publish one book each year and they are on their way to "living happily ever after".
well..i did "publish"my essays too..haahah..maybe when i get my hands on hanshen, i can post them!! im actually extremely amazed at my ability to prose!! now..i cant even think of anything nice to say..hahah..and im supposed to teach essays? heh heh..using what?
i learnt a few lines at the movies,
THE BEE MOVIE --"do the small things right and the big thing will be better" (ermm..something like that la..)
ENCHANTED -- "how does she know you love her if you dont show her?"
i do remember more but i just cant recall any now..anyhow go watch movies people!! sometimes its enlightening you know..
does losing hair makes me lose my memory as well?
many things to do and yes..time is catching up..school is starting in 3 weeks' time!!! argh!!! have u rested for weeks oredi? and its just 4 weeks hols after a long year's work? i really do feel like a b*******, maybe they are better off than me.

i have been thinking a lot recently. i wonder what is most inportant in life? what is most important in a relationship? what is most important in an office environment? what is most important in teaching? what is most important in a family?
it sounds very cliche to bear all these thoughts in my mind but these few months really demand me to revisit my perspectives and my values.
i hold on firmly to what i believe is right and i stick to my principles no matter what others say or do to me. i disagree with doing thgs just for the sake of gaining popularity. however, it seems that people who have been receiving popular votes are those who are out to please.
why do we yearn to be a people pleaser ? cos we feel insecure? so its always "anything la" will do? then start critisizing when thgs go wrong? "anything la" is always the best bet cos you will always have the last say. what happen to having a mind of your own?
if it is decided, i will be in another session next year, separated from my beautiful twinnie, my kei kei and yoyo. "isnt this what i wanted?" i asked myself, to be able to watch over ah boy and do somethign different? but im not happy at all, simply cos i will be away from those i love. even though im tired and all, having them around gives me strength to go on another day.
this is not what i want, i dont want to prove anything to people who are not worth it, i dont want to be separated from my loved ones, i dont want to "watch over" people who are incompetent and give an account of their work, i dont want to pioneer any projects, i just want to teach together with friends who truly cares for their pupils and not lamenting over their inabilities to score a 100.

while at home...
mum has been extremely naggy, to the point of being simply irritating. to the point which i dont feel like going home.
she doesnt seem to understand what any other mothers would and that simply breaks my heart. each time i talk to her, i just feel like a part of my heart just breaks into pieces, sigh...how much more to break?
bro wants to stay out to register his displease. i cant believe it, she can actually kick up an enormous fuss just cos of a perfect stranger..she is driving us out of our minds and also out of the house.
please pray for my family, for love and harmony that should exist in a family.

the accident on wednesday freaked me out a little. i actually saw the van coming towards me and just as i thought it was going to stop, it hit our car. the impact shook the car a little. i was overwhlemed by shock than anything else.
i was still in the car, watching the blaming game then the pain in my chest came. i felt very tight in my chest, afterwhich giddiness took over. i supposed the impact came much later. i was fine after a while. thank god there wasnt any serious injuries.
so much for the price of a car, we are not that protected after all. it wasnt such a great hit yet i was shaken for that split second. i cant imagine those who are trapped in the car or those who died in fatal accidents, the pain must be unbearable. the minor accident reminded me that insurance is really important, you really never know what is going to happen next, no matter how careful you are. please pay a visit to your insurance agent now if you have not insured yourself. please avoid having optimistic bias, thinking that it wont happen to you.
and be nice to your agent.

we had too much leftovers so i asked everyone to bring some food back. well it was good that there were remains..means everyone had enuff to eat!! yeah!! i love BBQ!! but somehow, we tend to eat less at BBQ, perhaps the waiting time just make us forget our hunger.
i think kei and twin had an overdose of salt..ahahah eating the "generously salted" shitake mushrooms...hahah
