merry christmas!!

I'm back from Penang!! Penang was awesome!!! Will blog about it soon!!

Now, Merry Christmas everybody!!! ok, that's late but hey!! we're all still in the christmas spirit right?? hehehe....

I thought I wouldn't really be celebrating christmas this year since I'm coming back from penang on xmas eve so won't be able to plan anything. But, I thought wrong. I actually had a wonderful christmas this year.

Christmas Eve:
Left Penang in the morning. Bro texted me and said:"Any plans for christmas? Let me know you're not alone.". Awwwww... so sweet and so touched!! Love my brother a lot. I replied him and told him not to worry about me and go ahead with his plans as I was already prepared to just stay home on christmas eve at home. Plus, I did not want to trouble him and want him to have a great time with his gf.

Reached taman bahagia lrt at 2 and got picked up at 3 by matt then went to ou coz his mom was there doing christmas shopping. Finally HOME SWEET HOME for me at 5. Haven't had lunch. Thank goodness I ate the kuey teow soup for breakfast!!! Was so sleepy when I reached home but still wanting to go out during the night. Was texting miao sern and sinseanne asking about their plans for the night. Finally came to a decision that we'll be spending christmas eve together after lots of calling and texting.

After matt dropped me home, he called. Convo goes something like this...
M: my mum ask you to go for the christmas lunch with us tomorrow
S: don't want lerr.. i only know u and ur cousin
M: that's the only ppl u need to know.. go go!!
S: but but....
M: u got nothing to do tmrw right?? i know u loner marr.... plus my mom was saying "shermayne all alone at home for christmas, so poor thing. ask her to come along la..."
S: u know what my reason is right?
M: u shy!!!
S: yahhh.. i shy.. so i don't want to go
M: u know i hardly ask u for anything... for this one time i'm just asking u to come along. got nice food u know! roast lamb, chicken... and maybe turkey also....
S: *grrrr.... food!! yumm!! hard to resist* ok ok, i'll go.
so now u'll probably kno what i did on christmas day.

anyway, back to christmas eve. Went to murni with sinseanne, enghan, enghan's friend (forgotten her name... she's from barbados or smth like that, dno how to spell), yu sheng and bobby. after eating at murni, went to the food court somewhere in ss2 as well to have ramly burger nd chee cheong fun. enghan is feeding his friend heaps since her stay in msia is short and there's so much food to be tasted. haha! later, it was back to my place and waited for miaosern, pearl and matt to arrive. then, all of us (excl. enghan n his friend)were off to Asia Cafe in Subang. Played fuzball and pool till 2.

When we were reaching my house, we decided to do something crazy i.e. get down the car and start pushing it until it reaches my house. FUN!!!! gosh!! i was laughing and pushing the car at the same time. Laughed till can't even stand up. Was just leaning on the car. matt and pearl were sitting inside and it was miao sern and sinseanne that was pushing the car. I was just laughing my heart out. Definitely a night to be remembered!!! Sinseanne and pearl sleptover at my place, miaosern sleptover at matt's.

Bro came home around 2 something and gave me my xmas prezzie. Gave him his too. Got like shampoo and conditioner from him. Not just ordinary shampoo ok!! It's like some magnetite shampoo that's apparently very good. I got him a book by jeffrey archer but.................... he already read that book!! He also bought it!! Gahh!! How can i be soooooo not observant!! haihhh.... felt so bad...
Didn't sleep till 4 something as we were watching Take the Lead. Amazing I can still stay awake till so late considering I was yearning for sleep so badly during the day. Guess it was the great company that kept me awake!!

Christmas Day
Woke up at 8.45. Went to the mcds at centrepoint in BU with pearl, sinseanne, matt and miaosern and we had mcd breakkie. Food was just so-so.. but the company was great and so funny!!

In the afternoon, it was off to matt's auntie's house. Had to go to his house first to pick his mom up. On the way, I was just freaking out. Don't know why so scared also. I was just thinking how to introduce myself. I have never really met friend's relatives before at a function where it's like a family thing. Was just thinking it's going to be so weird. Was thinking of greeting them like this..." hi, merry christmas. i'm shermayne. matthew's friend, not girlfriend." haha!!! don't want to give wrong impression man!! i mean, seriously if u take a friend of the opp sex to a family function, obviously the relatives wld think they are just more than a friend, right? tell me if i'm wrong. Hehe... But yea, in the end, just said "Hi Auntie/Uncle, Merry Christmas!!!" and matt did the introducing. Haha!!
Waited quite long for the food but it was worth the wait. Wasn't boring as well. Occupied myself with TV!! Haha!! and the aunties, uncles, cousins are all friendly, easy-going, nice, friendly people. Didn't feel awkward. Ok, maybe at the start I was kinda shy but later, it was all good. Played cards after eating. Played till around 7 something. Crazy!! Laughed till tummy ache as well. Somehow the atmosphere felt a bit like cny. Really enjoyed myself.
It was just my day. I did not lose in any card games at all!! Not even once!!! Muahahahahaha!!!

Later, went to The Curve to get my brother another book. I know it's the thought of me getting him an xmas prezzie that counts but still.... I just HAD to get him another present that he will use/read. Hopefully this time he hasn't read that book and hopefully it's a good book. Kinda worried about that coz the author is not one of the familiar authors that he reads from. *fingers cross* giving the book to him tomorrow (boxing day).
Had tong sui at SS2 after that and then it was back home.

Overall, I had an awesome Christmas. It was so unexpected, unplanned and it was just GREAT!! Thanks so much to matt's mom who invited me to the lunch and matt who persuaded me to go and made sure I'm not left out. No regrets at all, no regrets. Plus, also a learning experience. In the future when I go meet my future bf's parents, relatives, I'll be a wee bit less freaked out!! bwahahahahahaha!!! What a nice xmas present from santa, eh? Haha!!

Now now... here's a text message I got from my uncle today...
