christmas in singapore was usual, and boring. christmas or generally public holidays always have horrible elements hiding somewhere, and i'm more or less immune after all these years. so christmas was alright, normal. ended on quite a good note i think, because drinks are always so much fun. and the lychee martinis at harry's are heavenly.
vegitating at home is very indulgent, after all the orientation prep and christmas shopping and being out for manymany hours. holidays used to be about this, sleeping and rotting, watching tv and dvds and more sleeping and rotting. but these holidays have been about orientation, rap SATs(or at least attempts at starting SAT prep), S paper readings, school (ALOT of school) and whatever else. and good busy things too, like the US trip. which i miss truckloads. i was wishing for snow this christmas, and giant trees like the one at the rockerfeller centre and the bright lights of nyc, and of course the wonderful company that i enjoyed on the trip. which made the boring, hot/rainy, and rather lonely christmas quite hard to accept. but family (sometimes) makes good company and thankyou all you nice people for the msgs, cards, christmas greetings, presents and whatever else. shall not name, you know who you are :]
i must find time to blog a very long entry about the year in retrospect, and it will be very very long indeed, cuz there's too much to say. clearing out my memory drawer today was rather bittersweet, alot of things i didnt feel like chucking away in giant shoeboxes but i had to make space for new letters,cards and other memory-related things, ticket stubs or whatever. shall save that very long entry for a time closer to the 31st :]
i dont want to go for opacking :( i want to vegitate at home until i officially become a j2 and have to drag myself down to school at 6am/6:45am every morning for a week. -sniffles.
