Father God, When your precious Son became a tiny baby in a stable in Bethlehem in poverty and simplicity, you changed our world. As we imagine those surroundings, we join with the shepherds and the wise men in wonder and praise. We thank you for our material lives, praise you for our spiritual lives, and trust in you for our eternal life.
Amen.
Aaahhh..... I want to rant about my Christmas Eve, because it was such an awesome phail on an epic scale. D:
To begin the story, I woke up close to 4.00pm after a sugar-rush hungover from the night prior. Thats half a day gone! Thank you so much Starbucks, thats the last time I'm ordering anything Venti with whip cream on in the middle of the night. Ugh.
Since I was in TTDI alone then, cause my kor had left for Port Dickson, mum called me home for dinner. I said sure, I'll go as soon as I have my shower first. It was a perfectly easy 1-2-3 step towards going home right? Bathe, pack stuff, go home. Easy right?
But oh no. I simply had to get myself locked out of my room. And my kor's room. With no keys, because we don't have the keys to rooms in the house. Sugoi desu. And as if that wasn't a problem enough, I was locked out with only my camisole and undies on. All the available clothings were inside both the rooms. Power la, me.
You may stop laughing now.
It's not like I have a habit of walking around the house naked/semi-naked all the time (or at all for that matter), but I was on my way to having a shower, and I forgot to switch on the water heater, which conveniently was outside the room because our rooms has a shared bathroom. Since there wasn't anyone else in the house, I walked out jer la through my brother's room. (What possessed me to walk through HIS room and not mine still baffles me, really)
His stupid door has issues.
As in, the lock to the door is rather stuck. Little things kor always fails to inform me. tsk tsk. So, wind blows, door slam shut. His door has a habit of doing that. =/ Its so annoying.
Considering the sticky situation I had involuntarily managed to land myself in, I was pretty darn calm about it.
Probably because my brain registers disasters at a slower pace than usual human beings. :D
I actually thought it was funny, considering I never imagined a day where I will be locked outof anywhere semi-naked. Really. Though after about half an hour it wasn't very funny anymore.
Tried everything from lock picking to scavanging for all the keys I could find in the house but the desperate attempts were futile. Two keys actually fitted perfectly into the keyhole, but neither would budge, hence I gave up in frustration. I finally called my kor, asking him if he had the keys to the room. Thank goodness he's far away in P.D celebrating Eve with friends, which means he couldn't come back straightaway to try and solve the problem.
That would have been awkward.
He didn't have the keys anyway.
In the end, turning to my last resort was the only option. praying that my scary aunt who owns the house would have em, I called her with much dread. She did, and would arrive in half an hour's time. Somewhere along the lines is where I got lucky, hm. I suppose. I found clothes. Or more like remembered that my kor had a bag of dirty laundry downstairs I was meant to bring home.
So I found his least favourite pair of khakis, cause it meant he wore them the least number of times. It still smelled funny, like fishy funny. it is so eww disgusting. As much as I love my brother, his laundry and sense of personal hygiene is obviously in a dire need of help, and I would have rather fall into a crummy drain and die a slow painful death than wear any of his dirty shirts. (=__=) Thankfully I always keep a shirt or two in the car for backup for some unknown reason, so running out of the house I grabbed my t-shirt. yays. :D
The real malu-ness of it all was when my aunt and uncle dropped by to pass me the key, reading the big fonts of MONASH UNIVERSITY splashed across my tee. Some brilliant Uni student I am, huh. Bring shame to my university jer. Well, at least my uncle complimented that the t-shirt was nice. swt.
First thing I did after they left was frickin bathe. The sooner I had the stench of kor's clothings and disgusting feeling off me, the better. Argh, the bacteria!
Arrived home to yet another empty house in Cheras because it was long after dinner, hence the rest of the family had left to meet their own agendas. Omg nobody leaves me dinner anymore, so sad. So I cooked a simple dinner and ate with only Bubbles by my side. My 10.30pm dinner was incidently my first meal of the day. :D
Well, I know I had initially wanted to spend Eve and Christmas alone and all, but God sure has a quirky way of granting it.
Christmas Cheers, and good night!
