Feliz Navidad

Always a joyous festive season, come year end.

It's that time of the year where Orchard Road (and almost everywhere else) gets humungus traffic & human jams... Shopping malls decked with Christmas decos, twinkling lights here, there, everywhere... Long queues at the cashiers, fitting rooms, even the toilets...

This year, looks like many, many people 'ahbo' duit (pulau linggo for spend like crazy!). Pay check berat, shopping bags pon berat... Most people got big fat bonuses+++ this year & apa lagi? Joli katak ah...

No bonus for me lah... Sourcream... Hee hee hee... Sour grape...

Anyways... My Sayang (eleh... nyampah), ermmm, jangan jeles lah... Dat's how he wants me to call him mah...

Ok, ok... He's brought back a small Christmas tree. It is a tradition for the Copsey family to have a tree during the Christmas celebrations. They would usually buy a fresh tree from the grocer's at Billericay. They'll trim & decorate the tree a few days before Christmas. I've never ever trim a tree in my entire life before, but it was good fun. More like jakon gitu...

So, we've got a tree in the house. A fake one. Mock tree lah, gitu... I don't celebrate Hari Natal, but my husband macam feeling sedih for not being able to go back to be with his beloved family (although he did not tell me). He's been back to the UK or celebrating Christmas at Chamonix with the rest of the Copseys, every single year since he came back to Singapore to work - this is the first in ten years he tak balik kampong. So korang imagine lah perasaan dia...

To him, at least, ada penawar. Pokok bedek pon pokok bedek lah... So he's not home now, as I'm typing these. The boys had gone out to Skate Park & while Danish skates, Sayang go shopping. He said he would be cooking us some Christmas lunch & dinner. He'll be baking mince meat pies as well. How sweet... I am so touched... Tak leh angkat beb... Touching betol...

I've got some surprises for them. I've put their pressies under the tree. All this are for fun, peace & laughter. We've got some pressies from the rest of the Copseys that arrived about 2 weeks ago. I hope it will terubat hati dia yang sedang sayu.

But at the same time, sayu pon sayu, he's super excited about the arrival of baby Copsey...

To each & all, have a Happy, Merry Christmas & a Merry, Happy New Year! Kepada yang tak celebrate - celibate... eh! Enjoy the holidays & have lots of good fun!

In the meantime... gua menyelanak... budak tet ni kalau dah dilahirkan, gua nak pehpat dia...
