celebrating christmas in July

it felt as it was already Christmas lat nite.

my flatmate and i kept talking about giving cookies of sweets or something at all to all our fellow 70 Ferry Road residences since we moved in two weeks ago as an excuse to getting to know everyone... but we never got about doing it.... till last nite.

my friend and i baked a cake... (okay.. my friend baked a cake and i did the testing part as usual), which was a bit too much for us to finish. so we abruptly thought of giving that cake to everyone.

instead of just cutting pieces of cakes and putting it in plastic bags or watever simple way there is, we (I) wrapped it up in foil paper like it was a christmas present,


had it all lined up (had to line it up cos different sizes of cakes for different flats according to the number of ppl that we estimated),

wrote a note and stuck it on all 7 little parcels,



and went sneaking out at 1am to hang it on our neighbours' doors so that they will see it in the morning.



it really felt just like christmas..


its been 24 hours since we did all that... our greedy neighbours havent even bothered acknowledging!!! we even spent time thinking of appropriate things to write u know!

a quiz that is at least 75% accurate... in my case

Finally... i come across a survey or quiz thingy that is at least 75% accurate. I've never really been a fan of these things, but i sort of do it anyways cos i think its a good laugh in the end when u read wat a computerized program tells about u. give it a try... it hardly takes more than 5 minutes...n d questions are pretty interesting. http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx the link is called 'get to know urself better'. if u need a computer and a webpage to tell u about urself.. then u seriously need help. i'd rather call this thing as '............' *five minutes later* okay... i dont know wat i'd call it, but i'd definitely not want to call it as 'get to know urself better' anyways, this is wat it said about me.. not all is true, but 75% of it is... Your view on yourself: You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally at

i feel like i've missed a lot all these years.. like i do today

this is a very spontaneous post. i never even thought about things like this before... In my quarter of a century of lifetime... never have i ever felt missing out on something being the only child. but today i do. almost all my friends in malaysia have siblings... infact ALL of them had/have siblings... i was d only one who didnt. most of my friends in india have siblings and it didnt bother me. at that time, i felt having a sibling was not all that important. (even now i dont think its all that important). even when i used to go to India for holidays every year ( all the members from my mum's side of the family was there... now most of them are all around the world.. just like my dad's side of the family), i never really felt like i've been missing out in the sibling thing. all my mum's siblings are very closely attached and the love they have for each other is so obvious even when they are talking about them to ppl not in the family. like, one of my aunt would say.
