Mood: Bordering between having nothing to do and feeling ill
Song: Mariah Carey - My Saving Grace

Had our annual X'Mas dinner at Val's place last night, and the food was great. For those out there who had the misfortune of not being able to attend, let me just tantalize your tastebuds with a short rundown of the dishes. Haha. We had the traditional roast turkey, of course. (Brought by moi after a lost bus trip to Tampines, and me having to take a cab through the mercilessly pouring rain and traffic congestion to Parkway Parade, just to collect a cold turkey.) Thank God Val had a microwave. There was also a dish called caramelized pumpkin which Mark-Kate made, potatoes and lots and lots of pasta salad. LOL. Hmmmm... food fit for more than 5 people.

Which brings an issue to mind. (Note: I am NOT complaining here, and I vehemently protest against any discrepancies!) Both Fen and Elaine cancelled out at the last minute, which sorta pissed us off a lil'. Elaine cancelled out on Wednesday, and Fen on the day itself at 11.38am. Darn. We'd already bought the food, etc, and were expecting payment from them. Tough and sensitive issue here. In the end, we managed to save some food for Fen, and got her to transfer her share of the cost to Jo. Sometimes I really wonder about our friendship and the closeness that we supposedly share. I admit that I am not equally close to each of my friends, but I thought that among this particular group of friends since Sec. Sch, we should be close enough to host a X'Mas dinner together, and not quit at the last minute. Apparently it's not the case. (I guess?) MK even said something about not inviting them next year. What's the point?

Slept over at Val's place after everything ended, and I'm sorta feeling kinda feverish now. Might be the red wine, or lack of sleep. I don't know, and I don't wish to find out. Right now I just wish to curl up in bed with a book of my choice, and indulge in my fantasy world. Matters of reality can wait another day.
