Merry belated Christmas!!! Sorry for the lake of updates. But anyway, since I am here now~ ^^

I had decided to delete some of my posts maybe this year. No particular reasons for that, just feel like ‘cleaning up’ stuffs. And don’t worry, I will ‘clean up’ my Facebook friend requests too. And by the way, I think Brunei is banning Facebook for real! We know the reason why and my brother is sure that they (as in the relevant authorities)wouldn’t do that because they do not have a reason to do so. But my dad says China banned Facebook without a particular reason too!!! =’( So if Facebook is banned, I am considering Twitter and the other what-do-you-call-it? Oh yeah, MySpace. But let just hope for the best.

About Christmas, I had mine really simple and relaxing this year. Which is really unusual because usually my family had it big during Christmas. But we decided to go for a simple one this year which is okay for me. Let me share how I had it over the years… (Some details are left out due to personal reasons.)

For all the years as I remembered it, we had nothing really much special during Christmas Eves. Sometimes maybe went to a friend’s house or two for a Christmas gathering and of course, turkey! Then we will hang up our Christmas-decorated socks (which can’t be worn) at the end of our bed or on the door for the Santa. (Although we had known that he doesn’t really exist, but that is where my parents left our presents.) The next morning once we woke up, we will reached for the socks and it is always filled right up to the top. Then we will change into something new and go to the church together.

Back in 2007, that is when our little ‘tradition’ was broken. I was on the plane back to Brunei from KL early on Christmas morning. Me and a few of my friends shopped till deep midnight of Christmas Eve. Actually we decided not to sleep and go straight to the airport at around 4 in the morning. But I do not know why we all ended up on our beds at 2 in the morning. But anyway, I had a real ‘unforgettable’ Christmas Eve that year and every Christmas now, I will think of this guy and the stuffs that he said. More later on.

In 2008, nothing much special happened that year. I think I went to a friend’s house for count down or something. I can’t really remember much.

In 2009, once again I did not had my Christmas on Brunei. I was somewhere in a land where no one knows – Mukah. But that was a really fun Christmas too. And once again I stayed up late with my friends singing off-tune Christmas carols (almost the entire hotel was booked by us and we have a few halls to ourselves.) and pretending to get married to one another. Of course we did all these without knowing we were being recorded. And when we were back, HAHA. It was up on Facebook. Then we exchanged presents with one another. I got a really special present from ‘someone’ special. That is to mark our first Christmas together as a ‘married couple’. I got something from my dearest elder sister too. To think back about it now, I really had fun and those times was cherished as everyone is heading their own ways now.

In 2010, that is this year, I was not in Brunei (again) for Christmas. Someone promised to accompany me for Christmas this year but flunked during Christmas Eve. But luckily I still have my other cousin who is back from UK. We didn’t do anything stupid this year. Just sat around and talked about stuffs, Then on Christmas Day I went for lunch with two of my another cousins. I didn’t receive any presents this year but I was still quite contented. Which I can’t understand why.

Back to the guy in 2007, I did something which is quite daring of me this year. Let me say more about him first. We hadn’t been talking since that ‘faithful’ evening of 24^th Dec. 2007. So this year, I wrote him a tiny note with the words ‘三年了，圣诞快乐’. I do not know where I took up the courage to, but I still did it. I just want him to know that I had long forgiven him and hope he can too, forget about that evening and let everything return back to the night before.

So yeah, that is how I had my Christmas! School is starting soon. I once hope the day would come quickly, but now I feel like dreading going back to school. *Sigh* Books and nerds. Ready to face it? I am not…
