Chapter 19: white christmas
to all my readers out there, wishing you a Merry Christmas in advance. it’s christmas eve. things feel alive and joyous, but i am quite unperturbed by the changes this season brings. i’ve seen my fair share of smiling faces and jolly laughter. why am i feeling this way? well, i guess it’s because it will be another lonely celebration i have to pass. everyone else is so occupied. i guess i maybe jealous and crave my meagre share of the holiday spirit, but i have nothing to cheer me up.
well, i know how ol’ Scrooge must have felt now. at least he had companionship of his cold hard coins. i don’t have any gifts to buy and exchange. don’t have anywhere to go or visit. so, it’s another episode of ‘Home Alone’ i guess. come midnight of 31st Dec 04, it will be another vicious replay of events to pass, ‘Home Alone 2′.
i wish it would snow here. beyond my wildest imagination. think thick, fluffy, white powdery snow blanketing everything in it’s magical way. it reminds me of Neil Gaiman’s book, American Gods. hmm…i think i’ll read it again to pass my christmas. come to think of it, i have yet to finish Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath. i should also make a trip to the book store to stock up on reading material. all my other titles have been devoured and spat out by my brains. yes, a shopping spree for books sounds like fun.
i think, i’m listening to some Rob guy and the song titled Clubbed to Death. it was on the Matrix soundtrack and the same song we used for the World Hiroshima Day dance performance for the United Nations. kinda catchy tune although the whole song is basically instrumental. i still recall a bit of the dance moves. practiced our butts off for nearly 2 months and was a constant nomad at my friends’ homes. good times they were. nights were filled with sessions at the local ‘mamaks’. well, most of them have gone now. a good number are scattered in the Land Down Under. to all of them, G’day mates. All is Bob!
i think it’s time to end now. to everyone, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and stay safe.
