It's been about three weeks since I last blogged. What was I busy with? I guess I was busy packing my room. Guess what, holidays is coming to an end, and I've yet to watch any DVDs that I had bought from Batam... :(
I started watching 9pm show, 破天网, 11pm 台湾龙卷风 and 12 midnight 包青天... Thus, every night I will sleep at 1am or even later. Usually I would not be able to sleep. Just like now, so I would be playing with my iPhone games. I'm pretty sure first week of school will be terrible for me. I will definitely knock out by 9pm everyday or have naps in the afternoon.
Anyway, it's boxing day today!!! But my best friends and I have no habits of buying gifts for one another. So well, only got one gift from my sis-in-law. :) But it's totally fine for me. As I grow older, I realized I was never really quite fascinated with Christmas and definitely not gift giving and receiving. Maybe it was because I used to be very poor. It is a very stressful thing to go for gifts exchange. And why was I poor? I never received anymore allowance since I was 19 yrs old because I was paid by MOE in my nie days. But life was really tough then trying to keep myself alive. Even when I started teaching at 21, there were still times that I did not have enough to get a meal. God blessed me with wonderful friends that provided food and transport for me when I had nothing in my pockets. So gift giving was never my forte. To me, food and transport are more practical. I would rather spend my money to give my friends a treat. Christmas to me, is just a day that my Jesus was born 2010 yrs ago.. I celebrate this day knowing that the Messiah came to set us free and that He is the One who has been blessing me all this while.
On this boxing day, I unwrapped the box of gratitude to thank all my dearest friends for your love, warmth and care all these while. Some of my closest friends had grown distant, but I will never forget how each one of them had blessed me at different points in my life. Lastly, I thank God for all these wonderful ones that He had placed in my life. Thank You, Jesus!
