Christmas AAR (after action review).

This is one of the most low key christmas i ever had.

Had a lot of random thoughts running through my head. Don't really know where to start.

*start Random thoughts*

Christmas eve dinner was fun! I cooked japanese curry! 1st attempt and i'm gald it turn out well. All thanks to avia. I was observing how she cook the other day when she was preparing for puipui's birthday party and realised it is not so hard anyway. MummyHelen's chicken cutlets save a great deal of time too! Just pop into the toaster , 15 mins later ...viola! Black peppered chicken cutlet! hehehehhehe.

Ser, jp, xing, teck and jac came over for dinner. It is a small but nice group of friends. And i prepared the food. Felt a sense of accomplishment.

After which, we just exchange presents and chill out playing x box, watching TV and surfing net.

Jianxing came over around 10ish just to chill out and by midnight, after christmas is here, everyone left, either to go home or to carry on round 2 of celebration.

R4 and i pack up the house and then he carry on playing his new game and i carry on playing my king of chaos( a new rpg that i am addicted to) .

Received some great christmas gifts. A big thank you to you guys! *muack*

Ser gave me what i wanted all year long - the lomo action sampler with FLASH! Hehehehhehe Can carry on with my lomographer dream.

Jac gave me a barbie that i once commented that the face is nice. Was surprised and touched that she even remembered it.

Xing baked some cookies for R4, furkids and me. Taste great and the furkids gobbled down their specially requested non chocolate vanilla cookies. She even got me a photoframe which i only discovered after she left. hehhehehe i even thought she left it behind. Wahahhahaha.

Krisy got me a emily coin pouch before she left for Hong Kong. It is so dainty and cute.

My 70s sisters got me a precious moment jewellery box. It is so sweet... too bad i don't have much jewellery though.

As for R4's gift for me, i went back to LV to change it to an organiser instead. I think i will use the organiser more than the pen.

But i think the best gift he gave me this christmas are the time and the moments we shared these few days. I really enjoy shopping with him, having long conversations in the car ( due to the massive jams) and playing and discussing King of chaos with him . I think i am going to miss the" i coming up to your office now" moments as he had already finish his course and will be going back to his unit already.

Sigh.

And though i never tell him this . But i think his new haircut is very nice . It is spunky and it is so outta the world. Not the norm. That's him. That's the R4 that i fall in love with.

He once told me this ( but i doubt he remember it anyway) ," Stay the way you are. Do not conform. that's what make you special."

I will always remember it.

Have a Merry Chirstmas! And 2005 is just round the corner! Woo Woo Woo!!! :p
