exams are were over (a week back?), and i'm feeling quite displaced. some things seem amiss without school - no readings, no essays, no common tests... maybe i'm a freakazoid. there isn't even holiday homework now, not that i'm complaining. so the post exam itinery has been quite wild. barbecue with the cj dancers, home club, alcohol infested nights, catching up with ann, spring cleaning my filthy room, and movie marathons. a nice balance between home, self, family, friends and party. i like it. there's more to come though, so much catching up to do with so many people. i'm counting down to dell's and sah's arrival. that'd be the finest Christmas present. :) if you girls are reading this, i cannot. CANNOT wait. i'm already planning the slumber party, sah. (read: i might just kidnap you in my house and not let you go anywhere). so everyone's drawing up their Christmas list for Santa friends. Some people say not wanting anything is the key to happiness (not that i believe happiness exists in the first place). I used to think that way. all the if i didnt crave for this, that or whatever else those consumer suckers put out on the retail shelves, then i'd be contented. AHHH. Materialism. Others also believe that if one were to compare themselves to the 'lesser fortunate' then they'd see life as more than fulfilling. This is the way i see it, though. Yes. The list of wants, if dissolved, will make us more contented. Yet, the basic act of wanting is human nature. And it's probably that which confirms our existence in the here and now. Because it is so human to want something more, it humanizes us, draws us back down to earth. Perhaps it's the only way we can feel as the world gradually becomes more decadent. So draw up your Christmas list friends, but don't thrive your soul on it. If Santa thinks you've been good, I'm sure he'll place it in your stocking this Christmas eve. :)
