DEAR DIARY. I AM STOKED FOR CHRISTMAS.
Christmas is the best event of the year! oh i'm saying this partially because thanksgiving was recently over. heh. anyway, the best thing about Christmas has got to be family gatherings. we've got a couple of them going on right now, because Christmas time is also birthday time for those in my family, especially so as half of it is made up of Sagittariuses!
yeah so ER's birthday was just the day before. sometimes it's really hard to decide how to celebrate a birthday, especially since our family is rather big and we all have differing views. and since it is ER's birthday, we'll have to do it HER way. hh. and just like she likes it, we had steamboat and after that we went to the Mind Cafe!~~
I guess the reason why my sis likes the MC so much is partially because she worked part time there last time. i like that place too. as my dad puts it, it is a place where adults can relive their childhood and feel young again. and that means being able to break down the walls between different generations and also being able communicate better with others. well, we played a couple of games, mainly those which were mentally stimulating to a small extent. hh. the downside of the MC is that it seems that their standard of customer service has decreased drastically since the last time we patronized them. We had to wait so long just to get someone to explain a game to us, and in the end, we gave it up and played some game involving chickens instead. hh. it was really interesting, i teamed up with Ting. and I guess that too much brainpower is not too good, cause we advanced too fast in the game and caught up with DJ's hen and eventually dad's (which possessed two tails) However, due to our hesitance and anxiety, we could not quite remember which tile to choose next and hence, picked the wrong one, causing us to fall into a pile of chicken droppings. lol. don't take me literally. so DJ, being such a brainiac, managed to overtake us, and hence she won. hh.
oh and i forgot to mention, the cake we had was really delicious!~ there was a drop of wine or two in it and crunch chocolate too! hh. alright, can't wait for dad's and ting's birthday.
what we could have been, 2:44 AM.
