christmas thoughts...
i must be one of the few losers around posting blogs on Christmas day....
ah well, no ppl close frens to go out with... and so i am spending the whole day in my room perhaps.
christmas generally do not mean anything to the japanese. i asked a band fren of mine what she will be doing today, and she said "stay in dorm, cos xmas dun mean anything to me"... felt kinda sad after hearing that. i asked another fren the same, and she said that she will be going back to band room to practise together with another fren of ours.
although japanese dun do treat christmas with importance, it doesnt mean they dun do anything special. the latter gal asked me whether i will be having lots of cakes. i was stumped when i first heard... but later realised that she was talking about Christmas cakes. yes... when it comes to christmas, the streets will be littered with booths selling Christmas cakes and chicken (be it bbq or fried)... i swear i could smell chicken when i walked on the streets last nite. they treat such eating practices with such great importance that i was surprised that most of japanese have not eaten turkey before.
perhaps one of the more recent christmas days that i can recall well was the 2002 christmas... i remember i was at washington dc/ new york city at that time. it was a very simple christmas eve dinner... at wendy's eating fast food. but i guess the food wasnt important.. it was more about the frens ard you rite? 2 of my best frens, keli and huiting, were there as well... and it was indeed a very heart warming christmas dinner.... and we drove back down to NYC that nite, and just went we thought that it wont be a white xmas that year, it started snowing when we were at Rockefellar!!
shall dedicate the song below to every of you family and frens who are dear to me... may you have a merry little Christmas now....
Update:
just when i was thinking about keli and huiting just now, one of the cards i received was from keli!.. surprise surprise... hope she's having a wonderful xmas with her boy boy now in singapore ;)
