I'm trying to look at the brighter side of every event which happened for this Christmas...
Firstly, my mummy played me out when she told me that perhaps my sister and I should not join in for the Christmas buffet dinner at a relative's place, as the relative probably only invited my mum and dad. Which means she gave me wrong signal and asked me to keep Friday night free, only telling me not to go on Thursday night.
Fine, so when she came back, she said fortunately my sister and I didn't attend coz the food wasn't enough for everyone. My sister and I had a very full dinner at Bakerzin.
Next, amongst our clique in office, we organise another gift exchange on Thursday night, besides the official office one. It's like an Angel and Mortal concept where you have to observe your mortal and see what he/she wants or likes. The mortal will have to guess who is his/her angel. Everyone deciphered the game in their own way. While I recalled vividly from my past conversations with my own mortal, I managed to get something she likes very much, my Angel didn't treat me well and there were no signs. So I had no idea who he/she was. Ended up my angel is a male colleague.
And I got a book from him. I not only have read the book before, I also owned one myself. He gave that book to me becoz I gave him a feeling that I hate to read, so he is trying to inculcate the joy of reading in me. So after he knew I read that book before, he said I change his impression of me. I am seen as more "intellectual" to him coz I do read some good books. Though the present sucks, I got a ride from his new car home.
Just yesterday during our office celebration, I was sincerely hoping I will get a better gift. Truly, I am really super unlucky with lucky draws. I got a pair of towels. However, the best thing about the gift is it is from Lacoste. Which implies, the gift had exceeded its range of budget it should be in. The person who gave it to me is really generous, if it is hopefully not a recycled gift or a free gift after spending an amount of money at Lacoste.
Lastly, being one of the organisers for the office's Christmas eve event, I was kind enough to tell our staff at the counters that the caterer would be late. This auntie staff told me straight in the face, "We are only supposed to work for 4 hours today. We will just go off at 12.30pm." I swear that she looked super serious. So I replied, "Okay lor." What you want to expect me to reply. I can't stop her from going home without joining the rest of the office for lunch? Later I kena lecturing from my big boss if it blows up to the union.
Later, she came in for the lunch and said she was kidding and I am the type who cannot joke around. Please lah, you joke around with me, I cannot blow it up at the union. But if I were to joke with her, I willl get it. She further said that she will never talk to me ever since I cannot kid. I'm like... gosh. Who's at fault? Nvm, one of the staff at counter told me that they reprimanded her for saying that. They knew I was being kind to inform them about the late lunch. And besides saying "okay lor", there's nothing I can say. Okay at least some people out there are on my side.
I'm hoping for a good weekend with my beloved family, cousins, aunts and uncles. Santa claus, you haven't been doting on me, please grant my wish!

Why do I keep hearing bad news...
I have been having consistent gastric siince early this week. Took time off to see the doctor. He told me that I am diagnosed with Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or more commonly known as acid reflux disease. This is where the gastric juice goes up the wrong way into the esophagus (throat). This disease is chronic.
Now I can tell my appellants that I am suffering from a more serious and chronic disease than them...
Some of you may know about my cousin Roy. It is the 3rd time he is hospitalised for lung failure. And we just got news that the doctor said that he will not make it. If his parents want to extend his lifespan, he will have to suffer an excruciating pain by putting a tube through his throat into his lungs. And it only extends his lifespan by 2 weeks.
I'm terribly upset by this.
