Not Over Yet.

Halfway through the Christmas week, I can say that everything has been great. Christmas shopping was quite eventful, Christmas wrapping was quick, Caroling was good fun and here I am taking (another) breather just before Christmas dinner tonight. Tomorrow will be Christmas itself, and at night there will be a meet up. Same goes for Saturday.

Here's the icing on the cake: 2009 is not done yet.

On top of wanting to watch Avatar for a second time and squeeze in an appointment for Sherlock Holmes, there will be more present wrapping and this time for NYE celebrations at Eu Gene's.

If you're curious about what I am looking forward to in 2010, for now it would be an interview that I managed to lock down with Cadbury on the fifth of January!

Elaine Loke YC touches down on the seventh, and although we will miss celebrating with her on the second, we will be partying (for the first time in 2010!) on the eighth. How can I not be impatient?

Here's something else: Last year Christmas was predictable, everything was expected and things were routine. This year, somehow, all the plans and events are on a different level. Life is awesome like that.

I came back from Sydney, I celebrated Christmas and NYE 2008, I went through my birthday and Chinese New Year and then there was Easter. Birthdays in between every now and then. I got dumped by an immature ex (although I have no regrets about it now). I picked myself up. I graduated. I found someone who loves and appreciates me for who I am and who reminded me of how I can write passionately, naturally when I want to. Now, I'm anxious for the rest of the year, and for 12am on the 1st of January 2010.

I hope everyone is having a great Christmas - turkey or not - and that it will be a blessed 2010 for all!

According to Uncle Kracker:

Don´t know how I lived without you
Cuz everytime that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild

Oh, you make me smile.

You Know It's Awesome When:

...You laugh more than you frown.

...Strangers look at you and you distribute free smiles all over - and they smile back.

...You manage to find two Christmas presents in ten minutes.

...You walk into Padini with the intention to find a shirt for your boyfriend - and you find it.

...Kenny G and Babyface's Everytime I Close My Eyes plays on the radio first thing in the morning when that special someone is on your mind.

...You walk into Zara with the intention to find a shirt for your boyfriend - AND YOU FIND IT AGAIN!

...It rains heavily, but just before the wedding ceremony it stops.

...There is no drama.

...During the wedding dinner, your table starts off the rounds of "yam seng" with the groom and bride when they make their rounds.

...There's a charity concert and you go for it.

...You make new friends at that charity concert (although in the end you only remember half the names of those you met T_______T ).

...You hear the Japanese Ambassador, addressed as His Excellency, sing two songs for you - in Malay.

...The man who you've trusted your heart to takes one look at you and knows what's on your mind, and tells you exactly what you need to hear.

...And he understands that having your heart is priceless.

...AVATAR DIDN'T DISAPPOINT.

...Eu Veng, out of sheer generousity foots the bill for lunch on top of the movie ticket.

...You do not KNOWINGLY get yourself tangled in thorn bushes and then cry when you've been pricked. Like this: Show encrypted text

For The Weekend.

When winter comes in summer

When theres no more forever

Yeah, that's when I'll stop loving you

I'm sure you've heard these words before

And I know it's hard for you to trust them once more

You're afraid it all might end

And a broken heart is scared of breaking again

But you've gotta believe me

I'll never leave you

You'll never cry long as I am there

And I will always be there

You will never be without love

When winter comes in summer

When there's no more forever

When lies become the truth

Oh you know then baby,

That's when I'll stop lovin'

That's when I'll stop loving you

As long as sunlight lights the sky

The light of love will be found in these eyes of mine

And I will shine that light for you

You're the only one, I'll ever give this heart to

What I'm trying to say is, nothing will change this

There'll be no time you won't find me there

Cause I will always be there

You will always have all my love

When winter comes in summer

When there's no more forever

When lies become the truth

Well you know then baby,

That's when I'll stop lovin'

That's when I'll stop loving you

And when this world doesn't turn anymore

When the stars all decide to stop shining

Til then I'm gonna to be by your side

Gonna be loving you forever

Every day of my life
