It's
Boxing Day and the sun in Sydney is as
bright as ever. Of course there's plenty of
Yuletide decorations all over the city.
Despite my "ban" on Christmas decorations in the
kitchen someone still managed to sneak in a
window sticker of Santa Claus.
This has got to be the nicest gift I got this
year. Yup... a lot nicer than the
Sophie Monk nude calendar I got for my
birthday. Hehehe!
It's from Jayne, our SUPER admin consultant. It
says "Remember
Kath-Kim 2006". You'll know if you've seen
the tv show. Cool! :)
And
this is what I got from
Emma! Gosh! I could hardly see the other
end! It took me a whole day to eat it all up. (A
Snickers bar usually takes me 90 seconds to
devour.)
I'll always remember her because she's the one
who re-introduced me to
Vegemite. For those of you who are
wondering... yes, it is edible! And it tastes
nice too!!! :)
She
described it as something too big to carry in
her bag, something that I can eat, something
sweet. I got really excited 'coz I thought she
was referring to her friend whom I really,
really like. Hehehe! :)
I
love it so much that I took it home with me.
Even while in the train I still ate it. Yummy!!!
The other passengers were staring at and taking
about me. They're probably just jealous.
Every year after Christmas Day the big malls in
the city puts everything on sale. I thought I'd
pop in to buy a cologne for 50% less and maybe a
few other cheap expensive stuffs but there's
just too many people!
So
I decided to have a White Chocolate Mocha
instead. And because it's a really nice day I
decided to sit on a bench outside the coffee
shop and watch girls walk by (and scratch their
bums!).
With all the shopping, the gift-giving and
plentiful food it's easy to forget what the 25th
is all about. I don't think I will though...
because it's the only day when I allow myself to
remember someone I dearly miss. Hopefully one
day we'll finally get to spend Christmas
together. :)
If I'm not working on the 25th then I usually leave
the day blank. This year I had to turn down an
invitation. It was one of those special events that
if it were on any other day I would've certainly
attended. What made it all the more difficult to
refuse was that it was an invitation by someone I
think highly of.
But I did turn it down. Because it's the only day
when I allow myself to remember someone I dearly
miss. If I were to think about her every day then I
would cease to function. I won't be able to carry
on.
And every year I make it a point to light a candle
and just think of her and nothing else. For it is
because of her that Christmas to me means more than
just a festive holiday.
Season's Greetings! :)
