This City Never Sleeps
Saturday, December 24, 2005 @ 1 Day before X'mas...
And i am sipping my chamomile tea away, with the scent of shortcrust pastry linger around my finger. Bet that some of the keys on the keyboard smell of mince fruit pie that i had just now.

Just wonder: is X'mas eve and X'mas itself a day for people to eat and drink? If that's so, then one of the 7 sins - gluttony, has been committed by all people celebrating X'mas, since X'mas is the day where people feast on turkey, ham, pies, log cakes, chocolates, beers and spirits...

9.10am: hit the school gym and learnt to pick up the pieces, after failing my NAPFA miserably.

10am: out of the gym, head down to the opposite street to get some protein from soy milk at 7-11, but, it happened to run out of it, except the 1L pack that is sitting quietly at the corner of the fridge.

11.25am: had another serving of Hydroxycut and watched Eros - The Hands again, together with a bit of Rice Rhapsody. Just feel that i had a penchant on Wong Kar Wai and his actress in cheongsam in his previous works. Gong Li is still that cheo in cheongsam, even though she looks like she is dying soon at the end of the show. (In fact, she died in the story.)

1pm: Last minute X'mas rush shopping. Cold Storage Parkway runs out of Fruit Mince Pie, so went to get it at CS Taka, since i am going to Borders.

2pm: Heaven shows no sympathy for people doing the last minute rush shopping. It rained heavily and many were caught in the rain. But in the end, i found several box of Fruit Mince Pies lying on the shelves. My instant reaction: as excited as Daniel Bruhl who found his mothers' old Eadt Germany marks that worth several thousands in the old wooden cabinet that has been thrown out of their house.

3.30pm: Pull myself out of the madding crowd and head towards Borders. Apparently, the makan guide on M'sia published by Sunday Times food reviewer are not only selling like hot cakes, but also it has been wiped out totally by food lovers. This gives me one signal: i must throw in tonnes of X'mas greetings into Wong Ah Yoke's mailbox.

3.55pm: Buy a X'mas present for myself, even though i bought 2 big presents for myself: my Creative Zen Neeon and my new spectacles. Bought a red tee from FRGL, where the design was featured in FHM.

5pm: Back to Cold Storage PP to fight for my can of cranberry sauce, milk and yoghurt. Bought 2 cans of Ski yoghurt, and i didn't know that the 2 new flavours are out in the market for long: Caramel Cheesecake and Chocolate Orange. Collect honey glazed ham from Giant a while later.

6pm: Sis sliced the ham, her bf came for dinner, had ham with cranberry sauce, fruits and fresh uncook veggie.

7.30pm: Just do not know what to do for X'mas eve. So drowned myself in Once Upon a Time In Mexico and Ski Caramel Cheesecake. The result: a pretty violent thriller with soury taste in my mouth. Not really ideal for X'mas eve. Cos, cheesecake is sour, yoghurt is sour, mix them together and you get an extra sour yoghurt. Mix a bit with caramel, and you get... omg, the taste is unimaginable. Tash never liked caramel, and definitely this is not a yoghurt for him.

9.30pm: check my mail, and both Rabil and Jeremy from PRDS wished me a lovely X'mas. Oh, you guys still remeber me. I am so touched, sob sob...

To all, Merry X'mas.


To Tash, i remember you. Learnt to love X'mas. Merry X'mas. =)

Somewhere around the corner in the city lies a man with some past...
