you are worthless in my eyes
you are worthless in my eyes
My Mom, sister and I had a full day out last Thursday. Shopping at Supré... I kinda went crazy! Really happy with my purchases though. Truly satisfying retail therapy! =)) Ikea after that for lunch and some shopping before going to the supermarket for groceries. Last stop was the DVD rental shop to pick up a few movies!
Here's a picture of all my lovely gorgeous new clothes.
I also picked up a box of soft 3 ply tissues at the supermarket for my nose. Isn't the box the prettiest ever?! Pink, purple, white and black! Hun and I had Peking duck with chinese pancakes and baked cup mushrooms the other day. Yum!
Hun and I went to the wildlife sanctuary in his school on Tuesday to see the animals there. We saw kangaroos, an emu, ducks, swans and other birds during our walk. It was awesome! Pity the kangaroos hopped away whenever we got closer though, they were so cute! It was also our 3 years and 3 months (monthiversary/monthsary/monthversary?) so it was really nice to spend it at the sanctuary. =)) By the way, I have no idea which one's the proper term or if the words even exist, but that's not the point right now. LOL.
Christmas is literally around the corner and I think it's pretty sad that a lot of us are not in the Christmas spirit. Everyone's just saying that it doesn't feel like Christmas, or that they're not in the mood for it. What's wrong with everybody!?
I remember when I was younger, I would sit down in the living room, dim the lights and look at the Christmas tree. With its twinkling glow of lights, lovely ornaments and nicely wrapped presents at the bottom, it's truly a gorgeous sight to behold. Play some Christmas carols in the background and it's pretty much perfect.
I think the problem is, no one decorates their home with Christmas ornaments and decorations anymore. They don't even bother to put up a Christmas tree, let alone play a Christmas carol! I think that's what's killing the Christmas spirit. How can ANYONE feel Christmassy if there are no Christmas-related stuff around? I don't think we grow out of Christmas. We let it seep away and slip out of our grasp till it's too late and before we even realize it, we've become the Grinch or Scrooge. It's simply heartbreaking.
No matter. Christmas is and always will be one of my favourite holidays, and even though there's no Christmas tree or decorations up and everyone's being a Grinch, I will not let it dampen my mood. Simply listening to Christmas songs is enough to warm my heart with a happy Christmassy cheer.
