Xmas Day
Yes, you have been busy trying to create this puurrfect Xmas gift for me. But you know, life is not about creating the perfect person. Creating the perfect gift. Life is about loving the imperfect. And it ain't the perfect look that iam concerned. Instead, it's the effort, time and love that you have put in for this.
Yesterday afternoon, you were so careful in carrying the haversack that contained this present. And when you mentioned that it weighed about 3kg, i realized that you weren't kidding!! It was heavy.
The sea shells were picked up from the beaches. I know. Fang is right. I love it. I love the bigger shells in the second layer. iam particularly interested in the pure crystalized salt that you brought back from your diving stint in Indonesia. Those effort separating the sand and crystalized salt ain't easy. Afterwhich, you had to dry the salt crystals. Yes, heaven played a trick on you. They rained on your almost-dried crytsals. (:
Not forgetting to mention the time taken to melt and pour the wax into the Ikea-bottle. In which i suspected that you had actually made some mistakes here and there. Causing you to start all over. I know it was hard work. And you didn't sleep much as well. But my present for you ain't easy work too k. (:
I met up with Fang, Min and Jun at Suntec. I think our gifts are getting more and more meaningful each year. Yes jun, more xmas celebration to come. (: Was at Sin Ming in the morning. Attending some prayers session for grams. I know i will be late. Taking a cab down seemed like the only option. Anyway, iam quite a road-idiot when it comes to areas other than the west.
Anyway, fang and min late. goodness. We had lunch at Crystal Jade la mian. (yes, la mian again. Had that with my SMU friends last week). Exchanging of gifts seemed fun. My gifts may not be more as compared to last year, but you know, this year's gifts seemed more meaningful. And iam just glad that i was able to celebrate Xmas with the people i adore. He joined us for lunch and the lasses chased me outta Crystal Jade so as to take a peep at his present for me.
Jun gave this cd containing ppt slides. It felt nolstagia and i was reminiscing about the past. Those times at Year 1/2/3. Poly was fun alright. Really fun. Yes Jun, my never-comb-hair (do you know it was raining that evening?) and Min's attempt-to-act-sporty-but-failed-badly. Haha. All damm funny can. And your mini-mouse balloon. Just to let ya know this.
I deflated it. Haha.
Fang gave this handmade cross-stitch. Yes, all the same design. She is smart. And i did the same too. Whatever present that i gave them, it'ii all be the same. EOns back, the four of us went Indochine for a chillout. I gave them handmade cards. All different designs. Gotten haunted by fang and jun cause' my designs for them ain't that great. Cross-stitching may be simple. But having to complete 3 of them in a few days ain't easy. I know that amount of time and effort being put in. (: I remembered fang making us small pouches. And we used it to store our pads. Haha.
Min, as usual, gave us something from IKEA. You member of Ikea hur? Why always buy present from there? Haha. It is a kerosene oil lamp. With our pictures on the cover. Damm nice la. (: Prolly be putting pics in my next entry.
Having my last week of holiday. Shall be meeting up with Serene, Mel and gang. And prolly spending more time with my dearest as well. With the start of school, it's gonna get real busy again. And yes, before i end off, have a good xmas people. Enjoy 2005.
