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.

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...

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

Very happy to say that I've settled nicely into the new place. Everything's set up and unpacked and it finally feels like home. Everyone's very friendly here. So helpful. Traffic isn't that bad. Places are close by. We get everything we need. The only downside is that there's no cinema here. Which means I'll be traveling up north frequently now and I can't wait. This semester doesn't exactly seem like a particularly busy one so am really looking forward to some traveling.  Just finished watching Northanger Abbey. Was checking my hair with the phone's front cam and one thing led to another and I took about twelve selfies just like that. Heh. I tell you the things I do when I'm alone. Completely hooked on Downton Abbey. Finished season four and half of season three yesterday. Can't wait for season five to start. Also waiting for season eleven of Grey's Anatomy.  I  have unlimited WiFi. No more quota nonsense so have been ca...
