I'm so pumped up right now... i just got back from my Kundasang Trip.. well it was splendid none the less.. i'm starting to think that this Christmas is gonna turn things around for me.. in a positive way that is.. if you looked at my previous post.. it's just naggin bout how i don't feel merry for Christmas anymore.. well things change.. and i'm starting to believe again..
Anyway.. no i didn't spend my Christmas in LD like i always do.. but these few days has really.. i mean wow.. it's been an amazing few days.. of course there are bad times.. but even those can't bring me down right now... i might just say this is one of the best Christmas i've ever had.. but i'm gonna emphasize on the word might here.. which also means.. Posibilities.. Probability..
Well there's lots of things that can happen in a few days.... anyway here i go..
It's been a long year for 2010 and we deserve this Christmas more than ever.. after all the crap we've been through.. this is the one thing that can light us up for all those hard things we went through.. for sticking together.. for making the best out of the worst in situations...
So first of all.. Mostly the things happens in the Resort.. that place is Dreamworld..
We've got there pretty late.. but then again.. we also kicked off pretty late.. it was 5PM in the evening and it was traffic jam and there's slow cars ahead of the road.. and we reach there exactly at 8PM that's 3 hours drive which usually take 2 hours.. well on the drive.. mostly there's gossip.. and i don't really do eaves dropping but i can't help it.. i was even on my earphones and i can still hear them talking.. well anyway.. one of the things.. which is a good news anyway.. remember when i was a kid i used to spent my christmas in Lahad Datu.. that was like my favorite place for spending Christmas.. like every year i would go there.. in fact i even went there on advance right after my school ended and it was holiday.. i would just spend my holiday in the house.. and it's not like for some days or few weeks.. but it's for a month.. there's nothing special bout that place.. but it does really make me feel at home.. it used to be the house of my grandparents.. well before they passed.. i still remember when i was a kid.. and it was my cousin birthday but it's also my grandfather birthday so they would spend it together and they would have 2 cakes on the table, one for my cousin and one for my grandfather.. but i've only remember it happened one time.. it was on 26 december right after Christmas.. and i was a kid so i don't know anything.. so they we're singing Happy Birthday and i was standing right next to my cousin.. back then we we're really close.. some people even mistaken us for twins.. but we are not more than cousins.. anyway.. after they finish singing.. i blew my cousin birthday candles.. i don't know why i did that.. but i guess it's a little funny and one of those things you've remember from your childhood.. of course then they light it up..
Anyway.. one of the good news is that.. even though i stopped spending Christmas in LD anymore... but there's someone who's taking my tradition.. It's my little cousin.. somehow i'm proud of him for doing that.. cause it's been a while since i've done that.. so i know that it's not totally gone.. well it's been a rough year for him anyway.. and he has changed.. and i'm glad this is one of those things..
Okay not so much but at Dreamworld resort.. it was actually cold.. even at the car all i can think of is how bad i really needed to pee.. it's really cold.. but the last time i went there it wasn't as cold as last night.. so there i was.. feeling alone.. no one really talks to me.. they have their own company and i don't really mind.. dinner was great.. i ordered the Grilled Chicken Chop.. and it's one of the best Chicken Chop i've ever eaten.. other chicken chops i've tasted usually have mushroom gravy or black pepper sauce or tartar sauce.. but last night was my first time eating a Grilled Chicken Chop with a Terragon sauce.. it' this sliced mushroom sauce with shallots.. it's really delicious.. that's the best i can describe it on such short notice..
Then all of us took a walk out to the deck.. it's friggin cold.. we did have small talks and my uncle really knows how to surprise me... when i was a kid.. he told me that he's gonna buy a Mercedes.. well he didn't .. but he's working on it.. then he said he's gonna give me a Ford Ranger that he bought for the Mushroom Company.. of course that didn't happened either.. well last night.. he said that he's gonna buy me a Macbook Pro.. okay it does seem like it's getting smaller.. i mean from a car to a laptop.. yeah but there's the thing... he might just give me a Macbook Pro if he got the deal.. i think he does deserve it.. he worked too long for his life.. he had his rough moments and he finally got married and i think he need this one..
At dinner.. before we went to the deck my uncle told us another news.. which i think is good cause it's a house.. it's actually a Semi-Detached house.. and it's selling for RM 600K.. sure it's expensive.. but we might just be able to buy it.. my uncle says that the house is worth it cause it's a Semi-Detached and at the back there's a land area that is big enough to build a nother house just as big as the house.. well we might buy it.. there's a posibilities if.. we sell two of our house.. i've always hear my parents complaining bout our current house with the guards not working properly.. how we have to pay for service that we rarely use.. and most of all.. how we don't have a friggin Gate.. yeah.. my current house is weird.. they don't have any gates.. and the worst part is we can't even build it even if we wanted to build it..
Well here's to Might.. Posibilities and Probability.. And we're gonna see the house tomorrow.. apparently there's people who already live there and having a Christmas Open House tomorrow so we can check out the house..
Then the night ended.. i can barely sleep last night.. actually i didn't actually sleep.. but i did sleep for an hour.. but it barely counts as sleep.. cause i was tired.. and i didn't sleep till 5 or 6am in the morning.. cause during sleep.. my uncle friend who is his bestman from the wedding really snores loudly.. i was sleeping with my earphones on listening to songs.. and the bed vibrated from his snoring.. it was friggin loud.. and he didn't even hear it.. cause he didn't wake up..
Today.. my aunt was suppose to go to the dentist with her daughter.. and i had a problems with my teeth so she says i could squeeze in.. but we missed that appointment.. so instead.. we stayed for hours at her office.. which my parents we're complaining.. cause they had to make a cake.. and we had to prepare for church.. we could actually make it.. but my aunt got a called for a delivery and the guy couldn't wait so she had to take it.. and it was actually a phone.. a BlackBerry Torch 9800.. well i've tested it and.. it's okay i guess... it's no iPhone.. but it's the next best thing.. the web surfing was great.. kinda like the iPhone where you can use finger gesture to enlarge or make the web go smaller.. and it cost bout RM 1088.. which original price was RM2188 as stated in Celcom Website.. here it is..
Yeah.. but the RRP is RM 2188.. but they're selling it RM 1388.. so RM 1088 is still cheap considering that the phone is worth twice the price..
I don't know.. i might wanna buy one.. just have to wait for my aunt.. cause she's the one who bought it..
After countless hours of waiting.. the office finally closed and we were the only one left at the office.. then we went home.. but we actually went to church.. unprepared.. thank god for my uncle cause he saved us some seats in St. Simon.. and there were no place to park the car.. that place is packed.. i guess we we're lucky that my aunt sent us cause she doesn't go to church..
We arrived at 6PM and the Mass started at 8PM.. and we were just sitting there waiting for the mass to begin.. and i just can't help myself.. i was just too tired.. i didn't had enough sleep last night.. and i fell asleep involuntarily.. my head just drop and i was awaken.. the funny thing is that.. i wasn't the only one who was sleepy.. so was my uncle and his friend.. looking around.. all the people play with their phones.. which later the priest commented on them.. well it's pretty funny when i heard it.. but i'm not a good describer.. i can't describe it.. damn..
Then we went to my cousin house for a Christmas gathering.. but it wasn't really a gathering.. i mean.. the food was Fried Rice and CupCakes.. well i guess we should be thankful that there's food.. but there's still tomorrow.. plan didn't go as plan cause my other uncle got sick and they couldn't really cook food for the gathering.. hope you get well soon uncle..
And that's pretty much what happened to me before Christmas..
Happy Holidays!
