Merry Xmas!! Ho ho ho ... but for me and the family it's more like ... bored! bored! bored! Tomorrow is the Boxing Day Sale ... it would be a fun day for me (especially since it will be my Bday)... except that : my money stockpile is receeding AND I don't have anything specific in mind to buy. Plus, hubby is not very happy with the thought of having to go out very early in the morning just to queue in front of the shop to get all the good stuff in this horrible British winter weather! Actually, I don't blame him because I am the type of shopper who hates shopping in crowded places. I take my time in shopping ... my mom, son and hubby notice this and often complains ... but why should you rush when you're doing something that you love?? Therefore, I honestly am not sure whether we will go out early tomorrow.
If not because of the weather I really do feel like either going shopping at Braintree Designer outlet Centre in Colchester or driving up to Newcastle to see Aishah and her family ... but we really don't want to tempt fate in such treacherous driving conditions ... icy roads, many cars on the road due to the holidays. I guess what has added onto our pessimism is the recent death of a fellow Msian student husband here recently. I know ajal maut di tangan Tuhan ... but it's only human nature to fear the unknown.
Thus, being in such an environment has really worsened our homesickness for Malaysia. In Malaysia ... the shopping complex is open even on Xmas day and raya. The shopping complex is open till 10 pm. There are so many good eating places ... family and close friends are always there for you. OK OK ... Enough! I'm sure all of you get the idea by now. Gotta go and have breakfast ... hubby cooked nasi goreng ... hehehe. Will keep you posted!
