Can't sleep somehow and it's almost 4am!

Somehow the burning desire to start revamping my room, cleaning up dirt and organising my stuff caught hold of me and now I'm having insomnia. Sounds laughable, but REALLY. I have this really bad/good/uptoyoutodecide habit of going on some cleaning spree, just that as the years pass it tends to get more and more dormant inside me.

Urgh and tomorrow's the class outing... I won't have that much energy T_T but I really can't sleep.

I just did up my organiser that I got from Nianci (from the christmas presents exchange @ mel's place). The cover was a little plain for me, so I wrapped it up in black construction paper and proceeded to doodle on it. I'll post up the picture when I can cuz I'm too lazy to snap the pic, bluetooth the picture to my laptop and send it over to my desktop which I'm typing on. I got really hyped up doing it but halfway I realised I lacked a few colours to colour the rainbow T_T now I have to wait till the stores open in the morning and I'll drag Kevin over to buy what I need :D !!!!!!!

Just recounting what I did with the cover makes me awake... =.=

Ok I guess I'll recap what I did during @ Mel's place then..

Arrived near to 6pm, and everyone was there save for Nat(overseas) and Kev (duty, poor guy). Mel's mum apparently invited her own friends as well so there was basically a swarm of people bustling around the entire house, especially the dining table, kitchen and living room. I made my way to the room(where we usually go to) and found the gang watching Little Nonya! :D

I'm not really a fan of Mediacorp stuff, but this was one of the few rare shows that really got my attention. I'm quite sure why. Maybe it's because their story plots finally improved (high time), or there were better and newer actresses(sick of Zoe Tay and Fann Wong), or it's just that the entire show was something Mediacorp had never done before. My mum says that she doesn't like the show because it was showing how low a woman's status was in society and all that(you know, kitchen only and all) but I disagree with that as a good reason to refuse watching. To me it's kind of like a documentary coupled with fiction. It's just a reflection of the Peranakan culture at that very point of time, there's nothing wrong. Well since she doesn't see it that way, that's up to her. Different views.

Anyway Nianci subscribed to MobTV so she got to access all those episodes that I didn't bother to watch (although I had the interest). And we just stayed in that little room, all the way till someone finally asked us to come out and have our dinner. We got out of the house, and apparently there was a little BBQ pit set up right outside! Very cute :D And the BBQ pit looked almost exactly like the ones the SIMS game used hahah! Bright red cover, wooden platforms and everything. There was a buffet as well, but I was really confused so I just sat down there watching Jordan continuously BBQing prawns.

Food wise, it was pretty nice. There was turkey (don't remember having one before in my life, it was a little dry for me and the spices were pretty strong), damn FAT sphagetti (never seen such fat noodles before), curry (very spicy), those little fat, cute and white mushrooms which they stuffed with some spice and nuts (very very cool! but I didn't have any). The salmon was pretty nice, not too dry for me :D

AND SPEAKING OF SPHAGETTI HAHAHHAHA! There was an incident where Jie Sheng was holding a plate of them and walking out of the house to join us. Since there were many guests, naturally there were many shoes on the floor outside the door. And Jie Sheng actually tripped over one of those shoes and overturned his entire plate of sphagetti, sauce and everything! That was really the most hilarious moment I ever had. I came to see what happened and there on the floor, was a huge mess. Slippers, sandals and even high heel shoes got covered with the sauce. Mel quickly got out some tissue papers and we started to wipe the floor away of the mess while Nianci took a bucket of water and splashed away the sauce on those unfortunate shoes. Thank goodness I wore mine when I walked out :D Nick's was totally covered with them, both I think hahahahhaa. It was a damn funny scene cuz everyone was trying to do it discreetly and quickly before any guests found out what happened and I was wiping away the water from those washed shoes so that the guests wouldn't find it wet when they wore them home hahahhahahaha!! What if later the guests say: How come my shoes are so oily? HAHAHHAHAHA THAT ONE BTH

Jie Sheng was rather sensitive to the word sphagetti the rest of the night, he even blushed ok! :DDDDDDD

Called Kevin up to wish him merry christmas using Jie Sheng's video phone call. Actually I wanted to make him jealous for not being able to be with us by showing him the BBQ pit and everything ah, but somehow I forgot once he picked up the phone. It was damn funny cuz the screen kept showing his bunk mates' heads popping in and out of the screen like rabbits HHAHAHA. And everyone at mel's was cramming into the screen trying to get a good look at Kev as well. Then I asked him to show his bunk to me and my GOD, it looked like those construction worker's bunk rooms, abeit much cleaner. KE LIAN!! T_T

Later we had gift exchange, and Nick got my humongous pen!! :D Everyone kept feeling it and saying I must have gotten chocolates again (think I'm so uncreative :( ).. then as Nick started to unwrap the present it got changed to predicting it was a huge DILDO? Perverted guys la. Then when Nick took it out Jie Sheng was going Ohhhhh what a hugeeeeeeeee dildo... and I can't remember Samuel's. Lol! But it was quite funny la. Nick was like wth.

This year's presents had tons of chocolate. Samuel tio Van Houten + some nut quote that suits him really well (ask him abt it yourself peeps), Shimei tio Dove chocolates, Jie Sheng tio Royce's champange chocolate (drools), I tio Ferrero Rocher + the diary (needed one, just nice). Nick had my humongous pen ( I'm very proud of it ok! ), Nianci got a wine carrier, Jordan's was some toothbrush holder that had a little timer on it. Very interesting cuz the timer is there to represent how long you can brush your teeth, which is ard 3mins. I never heard that you can only brush your teeth for 3 mins before hahahha ! So cool. Mel's somehow I can't remember hmm.

Went back to watching little nonya for 2 mroe episodes before we played mahjong(no money) with Mel's 1/4 tiles. Her 4 Wan went missing hahahhaha! Played halfway then we found that out. Stayed till around 12.30am, and Jordan sent all of us home in his 7 seater, cool. Mel's sister kept begging to come along sending us home as well and she finally got her wish.

Looking at Mel's sister, I sometimes see myself in her, exactly at her age now (around primary 6? ). I understand how she feels and what she yearns to have or be. When I was young, my elder sister often brought her friends home, and I really loved to be around them. In them, there was a maturity and a grown up sensation one would never get with kids around my age. I would admire them, try to mimick their actions (not so much la, abit only). There was always a feeling inside me to hurry up in getting older and becoming like them, with all the grandeur and independence they have and not having to submit to my mum's nagging about going to bathe and everything (kids have it more than the adults ok). I think that's what her sister is feeling right now.

Now that I'm 20, well things have changed of course. I have my own group of friends, and my own independence. These kind of things just comes with time. Gradually, I also grew to understand how my sister had to deal with me always asking her to take me to her gatherings and parties at her friend's house, and how she had to accomodate me. Hmm now that I think of it, I was quite a pain in the neck, ahhh whatever. :D It's all part and process of growing up isn't it?

Alright, I guess I shall head off to sleep. 4.40am already >.>... good morning to those early birds :)
