Christmas :)

I've never been back home so close to Christmas before so it really didn't feel like it this year.
Until this morning.
Well last night. When we opened our presents. 
Heh.
Went for service this morning. Saw SOO many familiar faces. Aunties and uncles I haven't seen in bloody ages.
All the little babies I saw as a child myself are now teenagers sporting funky hair-do's and sporty outfits and short skirts and make-up. My goodness how they've all grown. How church has grown! Easily over a couple thousand people today for our English service alone. Place was packed! Really, really lovely to see all those people there. Still remember how it used to be when I was way younger. How things have changed! 
Went over to the new house to check on things. My new room is coming along nicely. By the time I'm back for my birthday next year, most of it would be done already. Wooden flooring and cupboards will be in. Wallpaper would have been put up. Looking forward to moving in next year :)
Went to Jusco with dad for a while to exchange something and ended up getting a very short pair of grey bermudas. Never actually worn something that short out of the house before but they'd go well with my Converse so am planning to try it out when I get back to JB.
Hmmm.
Had a number of people over for dinner tonight.
Caught up with Sheetal after more than a year. Twas awesome to see her again :)
Took a couple of pictures to remember. This will be our last Christmas in this house. Still hasn't sunken in yet though.
 This was just before everyone moved from the hall into the dining area.
 The patio at the back.
 Mom's handiwork on the banister.
 We got this huge box of Famous Amos cookies. All mine >:)

So many tops this year. Pretty ones, at long last. My hunt for outfits for fancy dinners has come to an end.
My Esprit handbag. FINALLY. *Beams*
Dad's gift. To be banked in as soon as possible but the Swedish House Mafia concert is coming up really soon in KL. Temptationssssssss.
Decided to go traditional this evening. Wore this with black churidar pants.
Now tell me. What traditional outfit is complete without bangles.
I think we had a wonderful Christmas this year.
Spent it at home. Just the way I like it.
Hoping for a smashing new year.

Table Topics: Judgement & Understanding

Took one of my classmates out today coz she needed to get some things. She's been through a lot. Nothing I will disclose here but we had a pretty long chat in the car once we got back. And it's really true what they say about never judging someone before getting to know them. She opened up to me about everything that was going on. How she felt about things. How she was dealing with things. And at the end of the day it all boils down to understanding. There's a reason behind the things people do. It's simply a matter of accepting that reason and understanding them for it and them helping them get through it. You hear stories about married couples going through a divorce. It's really not an option anyone should think about after marriage. After all it's for better or for worse, right? But what if sometimes it becomes too much to bear? What if sometimes things get impossible to handle? What if that's the reason divorces happen in the first plac

To Date.

I've recently been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award thanks to a friend of mine I've only known via Facebook for some years now. The blog post for that is still being drafted. I've been posed some pretty tricky questions /;) Haven't been blogging as frequently as I used to coz I didn't bring my laptop back home this time round. Didn't think I'd have much use for it. Things have been a little...crazy here to say the least. I'm actually twenty-one now. Though I must say, the word 'freedom' was never synonymous with this age. All I ever related to this milestone was responsibility. Funny. It's been such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I could never completely describe it. I've been thinking about how I've celebrated my birthdays all these years. Two birthdays I celebrated away from home. My eighteenth, which was in the UK with Aunty M and Uncle T, and my twentieth, which was in Johor with my classmates and a once

Dubai

Dubai was actually a layover. Since I have friends there I decided to spend a few days with them before flying out to London.  I took Emirates to and from Dubai & the UK & it was great. The unlimited wine was a major plus :P Only spent about 3 days in Dubai so I saw only a few of the major must-see spots.  My friend picked me up from the airport & we went to her place first. It was about 20 minutes away. More depending on traffic. Roads are very broad and each side has 6 lanes with a minimum of 3 on average. You see a lot of SUVs there. There's a lot of American influence. The UAE doesn't have their own national car.  It felt a lot like being in KL at first. Only after a while I started taking in the difference. Plenty of skyscrapers everywhere. But unlike KL, buildings here are built much closer together. & there is a LOT of development going on, still.  After washing up at home, we headed out to the Burj. The entrance is within the Dubai Mal
