Yesterday went to catch THE HOLIDAY with Wendy at Vivo City, as well as did some window shopping and had our dinner the new Crystal Jade Dine In. All these thanks to our 2 days off from both our previous flights, but poor Wendy got a Jakata turn today! haha... I feel for u gal, but it's a turn lah! very fast over liao lah, before u know it u will be back reading this! hahaha... Oh... U reading this already? welcome back!
But i'm not anywhere that fortunate as well since i'm stuck home alone now, my sister got called up for a Dubai - Moscow last night, pax up somemore! lucky gal, i always wanna do a paxing long flight! u can actually watch 3 inflight movies and finish reading a magazine before landing! haha...
As for mom, she is at work now! So what the...
Then tomolo i'll be doing a Penang Turn, which is a good thing for once, coz i'll be back by evening, just in time to go shopping for Ah Bee's Christmas celebration at her place on the 24th. One thing though... i forgot to ask if it was dinner or lunch! Duh... I always forgot my 5 W's from my army days- the "Who", "What", "When", "Where", "Why"...
Eh... the "Why" part not so important lah.
Anyway back to THE HOLIDAY. This movie actually touches on the innermost fear of humans during the holiday season. Which is to spend Christmas or New Year Day alone by yourself. Sucks right?
Frankly if u were to view Christmas or New Year Day like any other day, it would appear over-rated and such depressing sentiments would be uncalled for. But the fact that it only appear once a year in the calendar and most importantly, everyone has someone to spend it with makes all the difference.
One funny thing though, people would rather spend it with someone special on that day as opposed to spending it with their friends. Well, ofcoz u could spend it together with that "someone special" and your friends at the same time but there will always be those fleeting moments whereby just the both of u will together in your own world, oblivious to the rest of the world.
Just u and her/him in your own world on chirstmas day / new year day, while the rest of the world drift past u like snowflakes.
If u ask me, i do not want to spend Christmas alone too, but this is the fact of life, what's your's is your's. U can't force things, nothing good will come out of it as i've come to learn. Life still goes on. The sun will still rise and a new day will come forth.
Given a choice between having someone for the holiday seasons and someone for the rest of my life without the holiday seasons, i would choose the later one. I would rather share as many days as i can with that someone, than share a handful of fleeting days and fear the coming of tomolo.
But then again, people always say that it's better to live a short life in ultimate bliss, than to live a long life without events.
Human live for the moment.
My god... Humans are so complex.
Alright enough of my confused thoughts! Update on the recent trip- Auckland.
Flew with Denise, one of my sister's batchmate. Had a boring stay at Auckland, i just watched TV and ate throughout my stay there and Auckland is now in my list of most tiring flights to do. Though the allowance is good, u really earn it with your sweat and blood.
Speaking of blood, on my flight back, my left tumb got clipped by the drink cart before the flight even take off, and if that's not bad enough, my right index finger got clipped by a meal cart during the 2nd meal service. Duh... WTH right? haha... Came back to Singapore with a bloody tumb and finger. Hurt like mad!
Shopping wise, not much to do there, but i bought a bottle of Nederburg Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot. The 4 day pattern allows me 1 bottle of wine into Singapore. Anyway wine is cheaper is NZ, it's like almost 50% cheaper lor.
Didn't take any photo as well, nothing much to take anyway. What i see this trip i see during my last trip. haha... hmmm... maybe if we don't do that 1 day standby we might have a chance to travel further out. haha...
