Christmas is 'Round the Corner!

Oh hello! I feel so sorry for this blog. I haven't touched it for more than a month now. Been rather busy during the past month with all the courseworks and what not. My brain was on over-clock mode more often than ever before while doing those courseworks. And yet, I feel like I didn't do enough to get good marks out of them.

Anyway, Christmas is almost here! Woohoo! Again, my parents decided not to have an open house for Christmas this year. Main reason is that my relatives decided to celebrated Christmas in KL again this year and nobody would be coming down to Melaka. I miss that! I miss having the whole family on Christmas Eve at my grandparents' house and having barbequed food for dinner and then gathering round to collect our presents. Then the next day there would be an open house at my place where there's booze and my mom's chicken pie! =) Nothing's better than celebrating Christmas in Melaka ok?! I must insist my parents to celebrate Christmas back in Melaka next year!

Finally got my present a few days back. I usually don't have a list of what I want for Christmas but this year I thought I wanted either a pair of jogging shoes or an away Liverpool jersey. But since Liverpool is VERY SUCKY this season I'd thought better of getting the jersey. Went to Mahkota Parade to look for one but in the end I got myself a perfume instead. This was because my brother said that I could find cheap shoes like Umbro or something. And since I always end up tearing my sports shoes, I figured he's right - might as well buy a cheap pair of shoes with my own money.

I haven't been to the Portuguese Settlement to see the Christmas decorations there yet but I bet it's the same as always - lots of colourful lights, some big-ass inflatable Santa(s) and lots and lots of locals/tourists walking around at night taking pictures. Mahkota Parade's decorations weren't that grand. Here's some pictures.

Yeah, I know it's actually pictures of the same place but what the heck! Haha

Here's 3 pictures of some simple decorations my mom put up for Christmas at home. =)

It's actually supposed to be my study break now and I've not touched my notes yet. Exams start in January and I've got lots to study. I hate exams in January! 'Cause I know I can hardly study before Christmas anyway. How do the students in UK deal with this, I wonder. Oh well, I guess I have to start somehow. And sooner rather than later or else I'd be screwed for my exams! That's all for now, peeps! Will update again when I'm free.
