time to breathe and be merry

i'm TRYING my best to take it easy this entire week, doing nothing, gaining nutrition, and catching up with some very neglected pals. So if you're getting delayed replies, well, you know why... :p and if you're still waiting for your treelings or brooches etc.. well... yeah, wait abit more... *evil!* muahahhaha! hey, waiting abit more is better than if i won't be able to ever sew again yah?? :ppp


and here's my cute gingerbread man, gift from denise! she's so sweet! just one of the many cute little things she prepared for me in her surprise care package! ^.^ i hope you're able to get warm-n-fuzzy up soon!


and the most fantastically designed items from my swap with oneye from netherlands, in exchange for this! i love them so much! she was so generous and her plush is bigger than i thought they were - i got piet, who likes english culture, loves historic buildings, high tea, harry potter movies, fashion and of course britpop. haha! and fabulous gift tags, stickers, a keychain and postcard, all nicely designed and of great quality! piet is now one of my many sleeping buds, we're sort of alike, other than the english culture and britpop thing... hee...

and sat was great! even though our plans to mos (ministry of sound) didn't work out. shit. you should've seen those crazy people queueing up, it was soooooo fucking long! 1km snake long queue... one of my friends queued of 3 hrs before nearing the entrance... that's crazzzyy... plus we were mostly put off by the large bunch of first-timers and "kids" queueing and crowding around there... it was so unglamourous, like m.sultan all over again ppffttt

luckily our plan b to attica went great! dj danny rampling was awesome as usual. b and i went with a new bunch of people (from my side), because we were sick and tired of the we-love-drinking-too-much-and-puking-lots merry bunch of dudes we used to hang-out with (mostly from his side haha)... this time, it's with a bunch of super fun and spontaneous we-love-to-dance-til-we-drop bunch, which was definitely so much better, and healthy for the sick-and-still-recovering me ^.^

it's funny that i got the most presents this year, because this year's holiday is quite a sad one without all my best pals who're no longer staying in singapore...

we don't celebrate x'mas like it should be celebrated (other than treating it as a holiday off work! lol), except for my dad who's christian and goes to church and whatever else he does. but i did prepare a full 3 course meal for him and b, shrimp salad, black pepper steak, spicy tomato pasta, and portobello soup, and apple crumble pie (which i bought, cos... that's just wayy out of my league), and i managed to keep my dad smiling the whole evening, til today! phew. and there's usually very little gift-exchanging unless imposed upon by the company you work at or if you're a christian or something (i'm agnostic, and most of my friends are free-thinkers) or just for the fun of it! which brings me to the next point - i've always loved the warm x'mas feeling i get in and everything superficial associated with x'mas (i'm sorry to admit) - you know, with the lights and decorated streets in town, x'mas trees, x'mas songs, white color, snow, santa claus, rudolph, gifts...

thanks mao! for the huggee stash of vintage fabrics!! you know me best girl *wink* got other cool presents from mel, michelle, lana, jb, shan, meredith and tash *hugsss!* the coolest triple 5 soul purse, a cute little diesel pouch, a vintage necklace, some kinky stuff (??), a luxurious bubble bath set, and a ton of the cutest little items! and my b got me too many things (so did i! hee), but my fav is obviously my new tommy big-ass shades!! hee! smuacks! hope all of ya loved yours too... ^_^

that's too much for now i think... we're off to the pool at my mum's place! hope you're all having a wonderful time too!!
