The Academy Is-After the Last Midnight Show

I was right. This Christmas was probably the worst ever. Christmas Eve especially sucked, going to my parents' friend's house for dinner. I never met them before, and the only people I knew there were Jon yong's family, and my sister, Jon, Juliana, some other kids and I ended up watching TV. We watched The Family Stone on Channel 5, reminded me of when I watched it in the cinema. We went there around 6.30pm, and we left at 12mn plus. Imagine watching TV and adverts for 6 hours. Sigh. And some adult was there too, her son is the ACSI rugby captain (year 6). Wow. So, anyway, I went home, talked to Ben while writing my Christmas notes, which turned out to be wasted, cos I didn't manage to catch some of them while they were in church, like Yao Qi and Andrew, so I just threw the notes away. 

On Christmas Day, went to Church, talked to Ben for a while, went for service, gave out cards and letters, collected notes and presents, ate lunch, went home and slept. Then went for the Christmas party at Jon Yong's house. Before that there was some chaos at home. My sis didn't wrap the Christmas gift exchange gift, so my mum was panicking, there was no wrapping paper, I got needlessly shouted at, my mum kept shouting and complaining, it was horrible. I just stood there, took all of it, grudgingly. I felt horrible. Cried on the way there. Cried when I was there. No one knew and no one bothered, obviously. Except for Marianne, who knew smthg was wrong. Thanks for caring =) 

I just felt like I didn't have to take all this crap after what I've been going thru. But I took it. Like I always do. 

The movie after the Christmas party with the other young adults made it a little better though. I sat separately from the rest with Jon, cos Andrew didn't book my ticket beforehand so he booked my ticket separately after I dragged Jon to go with me. Reached home around 1 plus and slept at 2 plus. Going Kinabalu tomorrow. Not looking forward to it, yet I'm glad there's something to keep me busy. Ok, i'm almost done with my TOK essay, time to finish it up.
