After Christmas

Dear diary

Christmas is over and New year is coming up next. This year christmas was the most peaceful one I had in the sense that I do not have anymore projects/homework to worry about. My family had steamboat on chirstmas eve and it was so nice, and I think the next steamboat will be on Chinese New Year , can’t wait for it (I don’t really love steamboat in the past but now I enjoy it so much, that’s why people say taste will change as you grow up).

I also met up with my primary school classmate in school and my secondary classmate at Vivo City. I am glad we are still the same. I enjoyed talking with Tzin Ling, at least we can still relate to each other life, and we both love korean dramas.  The Swensens dinner I had with Xiu Mei was so delicious, I haven’t dine at Swensens for so long. I love the salad buffet that comes with the fish and chips meal, it was the best salad I ever had in my life. I just feel that Xiu Mei has become so capable, she knows/ is learning so many foreign language and when I ask her about study tips, she just told me she can remember the study notes by just reading through once (which I can never achieve because my memory is so bad ahahahaha), that accounts for her good results. I can’t help being envious of her but  I am happy for her at the same time. When I reached home that night, I don’t know why I suddenly have mixed feelings( a little sadness), was it because of my camera that has spoilt (I sent it for repair earlier), or was it because I miss those happy times I spent with Xiu Mei in school, or was it I felt that Xiu Mei has achieved so much whereas I am so lacking behind, or was it because of the card she wrote to me saying that she was happy that I was doing fine all the while(I felt abit guilty because she didn’t know that I ever had a hard time, sometimes it’s so hard to tell these things to a close friend that you haven’t met for a year, I just want to let her see the happy side of me), or is it I suddenly feel that I have changed so much inside……….it’s so hard to figure out myself.

What’s “steamboat”? I’ve never heard of it before. Here in Canada, we always have roast turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, perogies, and salads for Christmas. That’s great that you got to hang out with an old friend again. Wouldn’t it be great to have a good memory like her? You probably felt sad because of all those things, not just one. RYN: Thanks for saying that about my grampa, it…
