This Christmas Eve has gotta be the best one I've spent in a long time!! Had Grandpa's birthday celebration in the afternoon. Had good food, but was wise enough not to eat too much..Had a nice time talking to my cousins =) Was really nice to laugh at all the funny things,talk about girl stuff.
Serene(my other Sec 1 cousin who's in RV next year also) was so funny too! Really haven't felt the warmth of family for so long already. I wonder why? We went swimming at Auntie Cindy's house. Everyone was wild actually! All of us girls were competing against the boys in the mock water polo game. Hmm. A modified one actually. Yup..and my nice uncles went out to get Haagen Daz ice-cream and everyone ate by the pool... We swam in the pool and made lots of noise for about 3 hours? From 6.30pm to abt 9.30pm! =)It's really been a long long time since I swam with my cousins... I really had lots of fun with them, taking them on my back with me being the "Polar Express".
We went back to Auntie Cindy's house for a good, refreshing bath. All of us had hor fun and fried rice for dinner! Yummy! =) We then sat down and watched the remaining part of Blue Devils' (Channel 8, 9pm). After that, some suggested watching Home Run on DVD. We had a good laugh over it.. but it reminded me of the tension that existed betweeen S'pore and Malaysia around that period of time over the issue of water. After the 1st disc, it was already 11pm. So Uncle Jason drove us back home... *I was snoring in the back seat!* =S
When I came back home, I was greeted with another surprise! A huge one, actually. I learnt from my maid that Songhua delivered my Christmas card to my doorstep personally. At first, she wasn't really sure of opening the door to him, but seeing that he was really persistant and kept ringing our house bell, she opened and asked what he wanted. It was actually about the Christmas card... =)
TO songhua: The words inside were really touching and warm... I was smiling the entire way from the time I set my eyes on the words! Truthfully, it really did melt my heart and for the first time in my 15 years, I truly felt the power of friendship that kept me sooooo warm and touched on Christmas Eve. Thanks so much, Songhua, for cheering me up! =) I really had the BEST Christmas Eve this year with the addition of your card!
Merry Christmas to all! =)
