I feel somehow that the rainy day calls for a short but proper update. Okay, prehaps not the rainy day but this dead blog is calling for a update. Whichever way, there will be an update.

I just returned home from a in my opinion fantastic team outing with the girls at peishan's place. There were so much fun and laughter just now that I am raelly glad I was present, in the house at that very moment. The dinner was simple, no fanciful stuff, the joy, apparent. Although there were some strings attached(flight to catch and other places to go), but everyone just put aside the 'outside' things for the dinner and enjoyed ourselves.

I met Jasmin and Mich earlier to go peishan's place to cook. Before you start voicing concern about my culinary skills and whether or not I burned her place down, ask everyone about the pasta and fried nuggets I cook! It is very nice, in Mindy's words. *beams* Actually I am beginning to think that I may have quite a flair for cooking? Alright maybe not but it was fun preparing the food with them. Jasmin and I went a bit crazy and peishan's concerns about the both of us in a same kitchen became justified. Damn. Anyhow, their salads were good and so was the brocolli.

Desserts were even better. Today I get my way. FINALLY. I GET MY WAY! YAY! *beams* This is why I love the 11 of them. They say yes to what I want, not because they are spoiling me but because they appreciate my choice. Finally I get to pick the brands of the ice cream I want. And yes! I oot my Haagen Daz's Strawberry Cheesecake and some B&J flavour. Nice. (:

Gift exchange was fun too. I felt like I am the game master because I kind of knew who is getting present for who. Some I asked, some told me themselves. I will give a clue, and usually a very obvious clue, to whoever is guessing. So the exchange was successful. I can't believe chiteng knew I was buying for her already! To think me and leepeng secretly applauded ourselves for our brillant plot of leading chit to choose her own present. So she knew! But anyway, it doesnt matter as long as she likes the present. I like my *ahem* present too, because I appreciate the person who bought the present. But the second piece is a bit erm, naughty? I don't think anyone of you should expect to see me doning it.

After that we sat in the living room, sipping red wine and talking. Actually I didnt really sip the red wine I just sort of gulp it down. I seemed to have this problem of not slowly finishing my drink. The red wine was good because it wasn't bitter. The talking part was even better, because we talked about way too many things. From boys to love lives(which both are non existent in my life), to the past nj canoeing days, to my tyranny ways(which I have forgotten but many remembered -_-"), to hall life and to so many other things. We just laughed and laughed and laughed. And I know if time had permitted us to, we would have gone on and on. But sadly, we had to say our goodbyes.

Today is a good day I hope, even to you whom you know who you are. And I hope even with school starting, every thing will start to look up. Today I realised that maybe I am mildly domesticated. Today I had my strawberry cheesecake. Today I went back home with shumin! Today I fried food without having oil splattered on me. Today I received a super interesting christmas present. Today, I thank God for today. (:
