Merry Christmas!
25'December 2010, a day in my life i shall always treasure...
Frankly, i did not quiet think the day will turn out the way it did. 24th morning.. i was hoping like the many years to be excited and filled with enthusiasm. But it was not. I was low when i woke up. Was already ailing with viral for a week; On the verge of recovery but throat just did not cooperate. To top it all, i had the worst dream i ever had and cant seem to forget the details of my dream.. I'd like to call it a night mare!!! I have woken up crying from my dreams..but this was worst than them all..
I was a complete zombie when i woke up this morning. I wanted to go some where far; be to myself; may be take a walk along the beach or so... [I do get into such phases and modes..especially when its the least expected out of me on an eventful & happy day.. :( ] To top it all, woke up to a bad news... rather now after some hours i will call it sad news..
This Christmas was special not just for the Telangs as we had Baby Trisha join the gang..But we had one of my brother's close friend's family here..(its like one big family). I'd like to say, we are a family of 7 now & not just 5. The sad news was that bhaiya had to leave us for India for some important and urgent issues.. Already the sad that i was...now i was even worse. [Was hoping midnight would brighten me up..nah! not after knowing all the plans are scrapped..the news was such..]
Anyways, after a few hours of my morose self..and observing everyone doing something or the other..and ma busy embroidering Trisha's dress with "MY FIRST CHRISTMAS"..I was woken up from my state when bhabhi reminded me of Trisha's socks.. oops! i had to sew frills on to them.. Realized the plans were not fully gonna be scrapped! :) Not like i was charged up at the thought of putting up Red frills on baby's socks..but at-least i was feeling some life getting back into me...Although i kept thinking..."does it make one bit sense to share happiness?"..considering the morning's experience.. I was annoyed with people...People love to know what's happening in the others life but Bloody can stand them happy ever.. the moment a person is happy there are 500 people to ask.."dude! y r u so happy?" ...I just have one thing to say to those annoying unenthusiastic ones..."boss..get a life! if u can't be happy in some one's happiness or excitement..then bloody well dont spoil it either... just ignore the happiness u see around and continue to brood like u do..." [bunch of jerks!]
Anyways, the excitement was coming back among all, especially when Ajay & Mamma went shopping for tomorrow's lunch & dinner special grocery shopping.. ;)
[the original plan was...
Lunch: Pasta, Fish Fry, Veg cutlets, Cake, & Wine
Dinner: Chicken Barbecue, veg barbecue, marshmallows, bread & wine]
The plan got revised now that one member was less..just instead of barbecue..we'll be going out for a buffet after roaming a few places! :P while the chicken got transferred to my department for my experiments.. ;)
Bhabhi & J di were busy preparing cakes. I decided to help them out. Made the Tofu special dinner ;) (ok! M not blowing my own trumpet...Okay! Honestly...But yeah its true that i have always been an emergency scenario cook & additional help...i only cook or help when every one else is busy with something equally important ! :D)
So Here is how i came back to life...
During dinner i was told we are going for mid night service.. that did the trick... now i knew there's gonna be cake & wine toasting & the secret Santa gifts opening....
I was all happy.. i like going for mid night masses.. there's much more enthusiasm & excitement among people even at church...after all, when we can stay awake at 2400hrs for our own bday and njoi every moment of it..then y not Christmas.. (truth: i hate getting up early morning to go to church)
I was dolled up..the mass was superb..sermon was good..St. Anne Church, Bukit Mertajaya @ 22:30hrs.. mass got over at 2400 hrs sharp..The crib was beautiful... the church is an ancient old church..wished each other...lots of christmas carols...simply WOW!!! [Malaysians are very happy & docile people..they need not know you to wish you or smile at you.. i like it! :)]...
As per plan it was time for us, to get back home..it was secret santa gift & cake-wine time. We opened the wine bottle...toasted to Trisha, Health & prosperity for all...grabbed on some kusvars..and all set to open the gifts.. We were excited..& anxious to know what we were all getting from our respective secret santas... lol..it was fun...25yrs + and we looked 5 years old...mom & dad were the smallest kids among us i guess... I have never seen this much excitement or craze among any of us over christmas and gifts ever.....
To our surprise, although we missed bhaiya.. we enjoyed the gift opening...the secret santas turned out funny but weirdly interesting. Here's the list:
I like getting gifts..though i dont get any.. :( so tis time i was second in line after Trisha.. :P
Feels good to be getting gifts and loved so much even now... :)
Vaise i got others gifts too...from what ever i had saved..its not yet pay back time for me...but i have my accounts well kept...I will pay back soon...
And here's a toast to my family & extended family... I love u all & thank u for this day.. it feels good! & the best news is...all's well at bhaiya's end too back in India..
So here's to love, health, & prosperity!
MERRY CHRISTMAS & a very happy & prosperous new year.... :)
Till then.....Ciao
