Again, as many put it, 2006 has reached its end in a blink of an eye. It's amazing how humans lived each and every day so easily. Maybe it wasn't easy at all to some, still we all survived.
Just a little update on myself. I had so many visitors since November. Mum, aunties and a cousin came to visit us. Then my in-laws were here until the thrid week of Jan. Phew, it was a little crowded but as I said, we both survived or at least I survived!
We spent Christmas in Melbourne. I like Melbourne, though the whole holiday wasn't relaxing, as I predicted. When I came home, I was pretty much worn out. I felt worse than before I went for holiday. To sum it up, Melbourne trip was ok. The only part I like best is wrapping gifts for family members and relatives. And then Andrew came up with my new nickname, ie Elf, and because I was little (small in size), he called me Little Elf from then onwards.
There was also another incident that was so funny. One morning, we were having breakfast in a relative's home. There was a cheesebread which I have been eyeing for days. That particularly day, it was served on the table. I thought to myself, I will go for the cheesebread first! I took a small piece (didn't want to reveal my yearning) and took a bite. Munch, munch, munch.. hmm.. that cheese tasted a little different. Next bite.. munch, munch, munch.. hm.. didn't really taste like what I expected. Suddenly, I saw something that looked like greenish in colour in the bread on the table. Quickly I cut out the bread, and yuckkkssss.... it was mouldy! I felt an instant nausea. The feeling was terribly awful!! I don't think there was much harm done, but it definitely was revolting knowing that I just ate a mouldy bread. That very same night, I woke up half way through my sleep and felt really quesy. I had to wake Andrew up to get some medicine for me. Forced myself to vommit but I couldn't. It was dreadful. Took some charcoal pills and managed to go back to sleep.
Next day, we found out that my mother-in-law did in fact vomited; only difference is she didn't take the cheesebread. So it couldn't have been the cheesebread. The hilarious thing was, Andrew kept laughing by himself the whole day and teased me saying "Last night, Little Elf nearly died!".. haha!
Well, these are some of the highlights of the trip! haha.
Today is the last day of the year. I must say it was a great year because of our wedding. Another year older, am I any wiser? Don’t know. All I can say is cherish every moment, learn from your mistake and be a better person. Most importantly, do your duty on earth which God as assigned on you.
So farewell, 2006 and welcome, 2007.
