christmas was... wet. i can't remember how we got to it, but we started talking about nanny (my grandmother). & aunty esther started crying, then jackie, then both my mum & aunty patsy. though i feel pretty bad saying this, but i was tearing up because i couldn't stop thinking about arwah izwan. i mean, yeah i'm sad nanny's not around anymore. she's cool i tell you. but she passed away less than a month after arwah apiq. i haven't recovered from the first blow. & the fact that i was away at kem perdana didn't help. i just... didn't feel it. or maybe i felt it, but it blended in with those of arwah apiq. then just now when jackie was talking about nanny, & aunty esther was saying she should spend some time at her grave tomorrow, i just really couldn't help myself thinking of those time spent at arwah izwan's grave. when everyone was talking about dreaming of nanny, i thought of my dreams of arwah izwan. then jackie turned to me & asked "when are you going to cry?". "i've had enough of crying" i said. nobody asked anything else, so i pushed it from my head. yes. jackie's right. what's the point of crying at their grave. it doesn't change anything.
oh well.. enough with depressing stuff. the overall celebration was good! arrived just in time for lunch, & immediately i was "bathed" in beer. uncle stanley came to hug me merry christmas, & spilled his mug of beer all over my right feet. nice. we had lunch outside, a bbq. then everyone lazed around, as usual. had the dirty jokes session, as usual. the turkey almost got burnt, not really usual, but expected. had turkey for dinner, finally. then oms turned up. yea, oms as in the shah alam debate ex-coach. i don't know how he got to know uncle stanley, but he was there. small world.
the question of the day was "so you have boyfriend already ah?". you see, kenny & david brought their girlfriends. so the rest of us young adults (me, my brother, jillian, sheryl) got pestered about it quite a lot. nahh didn't bug me much, especially when aunty eliza went "you so pretty la hilyah. got boyfriend already ah?" oohh pretty ah? of course la! huhuhu
the day's ending in 23minutes. aaa so fast! but still, i'll be meeting aunty esther, uncle george, aunty patsy & jillian this sunday most probably. till then! oh! did i mention it rained half the day? they bbq-ed the rest of the chicken & lamb for dinner under a payung ('cause the bbq pit couldn't be moved). good times, good times :)
