Christmas : Now and then
So, you’d ask what the hell am I doing here on a Christmas day. I should be opening presents and watching TV.
To me, Christmas is now different than those I had. Why? Come on, we’re all grown ups and you’d still be lingering around the tree to look for your present(s)? Thats only normal but nowadays there’s no more presents for me but angpau. Christmas has become like Chinese New Year. They rather give us $ than scratch they head thinking about what to buy for present.
No more ninja turtles figurines, no more tamiya model cars, no more colour pencils no more shits. It is actually the presence of family members that matter nowadays. This is a time to gather and eat like there’s no tomorrow. But many family members are not around here right now and I gotta bear with it. So, shits aside. I’m here at aunt’s house having a feast.
On another occasion, the house warming cum christmas party yesterday at Pei Wah’s saw many smiling faces. All homies were there except Lees and Ngs. We exchanged gifts.
Ok… wait.. I gotta say this. I’m a bit annoyed by people who buy stuffs thats not general. I mean, stuffs that can be used by both genders. Man, Mr. Neo bought 3 packs of cigarettes. What the fuck?! Ashtrays? What the fuck. Although I smoke but these are things I don’t wanna get as a present. Soft pillows? Dolls? Soft toys? Hmm… I think these are girly stuffs and guys who get it will wanna trade it for something else like pen, mug, etc. There’s still some people buy cheapskate stuffs when minimum RM30 worth of stuff was set.
Yesterday there are notably few items thats nice to get in my opinion and its cool for both genders:
Pen (from CC+HH to Mrs Tow Kay)
Mug (from CC+HH to Tow Kay)
Book/Comic (from the G to Ken)
Keyboard arm rest (from Min Dee to me. Its a thoughtful gift to a keyboard warrior)
Coinbox cum table clock (from Ivan/Jenni to Mrs MBA)
Luckily Mr. Neo traded back from Daniel F who got the cigarettes. He took the big red pillow from Neo.
Aren’t there any other stuffs we can get for our friend besides all these tiring dolls, pillows, soft toys? Come on, we all grown up. We don’t need soft toys to accompany us to sleep. But a dildo is accepted. Haha.
