'Twas the day after Christmas
So here we are, the day the after Christmas. My head hurts like hell. Hangerover from losing too many games of Mahjong. I'm horrible at it so i guess i shouldn't have started in the first first place. But it was fun so i'm not complianing, except for this crazy headache which doesn't seem to want to go away for some reason. Must be because i kept on cursing and swearing about how much i hated Christmas. Retrbution hurts like hell. Haha. Either way, i still think Christmas is quite a bad time of the year.
Anyway, Christmas meals turned out to be kind of a success. Though things started to see like the were going no where at the beginning (the souffle collasped, the pie got burnt and the soup was well, weird) it turned out alright in the end. A miracle? Maybe. At the end of the day, they were all clamouring for the bloody soup recipie (Minted pea soup with crispy pancetta and sour cream, you should try it!). I threw out the souffle and my mum salvaged the pie so it was ok in the end i guess. So after all the hectic work in the kitchen, it was time to have a little fun. I should have never started playing the bloody Mahjong!! I was like playing with semi-pro people so since we don't play with money over Christmas (only during CNY, but that's another story) we played with what my house seemed to have in relative abundance, ALCOHOL! Mandrin orange, raspberri and peach vodka anyone? And since my cousins wanted to be hardcore, we drank it straight. Every double was worth 1 shot. I won only 1 round so every round i was drinking. I take pride in myself that i can hold my liquer rather well, but i can't take the friggin hangover. I must have drank at least 15 plus shots in a period of 3 or 4 hours. Crazy. I never drank so much in my life!!
The good thing about it was that, the alcohol allowed me to sort of forget about how screwed up this Christmas seemed to be turning out. I can barely think straight right now. Shit man. I've got so much to do and i don't know how to go about doing it. And the presents this year seem to be lacking in some sense. Maybe its because.. i don't know. Argh! Weird Christmas this year.
At Christmas, you tell the truth. Truth is, i never really let you go. I've tried so hard but i cannot find it in myself to do it. I'm still trying but it tears me apart. The only thing i can do now is to pray, and hope.
Things i want for Christmas (which i didn't get of course):
