That time of the year

It's December again! December has many meanings for me.

1. BONUS!!
2. Christmas!!
3. First Christmas for Raine, second for Roy.
4. Shopping spree at Shu Uemura
5. My birthday!!

Ok, bonus = lump sum of money = nice Christmas gifts for the kids, hubby and myself and of course not forgetting all the good friends I have made during my time with TMALS. They're probably not going to see this entry, but really thanks to Kristy, Vivian and Venus for giving me all that moral support when I much needed it. Thanks to Ervinna when I needed someone to talk to at 6.45 in the morning because of a stupid bitch who was going to spoil my life but thankfully also because of her, and I mean the stupid bitch, my life is a bed of roses again. Ok, how did I get here? I was supposed to be talking about why my bonus is good for me, man. So much for digressing.

So, Christmas means I will get to shop for gifts, indulge in the festive mood, and of course, to receive Christmas presents. Christmas also means I have an excuse to buy expensive things for people I really love. Like Hubby. Like Roy. Like Raine.

Christmas does not have any special meaning for the kids, because they do not understand. But I will help them understand my meaning of Christmas. Ha ha ha.

And, point 5 and 6 come hand in hand. After Christmas comes my birthday. Ok, that's not really relevant. What's relevant is, December is the only time I can get my favourite cosmetics and skincare items from Shu Uemura at 80% of the usual price because it's my birthday month! Yay! I'm running out of loose powder, premium A/O purifier and my staple skincare item, the Classic purifier. It's also time to try out new colours, buy some makeup tools, get my moisturiser, change my foundation type .... what else?? Get a new job? Ok not relevant.

Anyway, next month's gonna be appraisal time again. I hope I get the review I want. If not, I'm leaving this company. If they can't appreciate someone who is serious in making real contributions to the company, then I'm gonna take my ideas somewhere else cos it's really no joke working till 10 or 11pm but being paid low wages and even worse, all efforts unknown to the higher management.

Brought the kids to the pool today, Roy was really giving me a hard time while Raine put on the sweetest behaviour I have ever seen in her entire lifetime. Anyway, we had dinner at Swensen's and headed home after that cos Hubby and I were going to catch The Tattooist at the cinema. I can't believe this. This is the first time in ages where I really felt like blogging. Look how my words and ideas are flowing? Haha. Anyway the movie was quite good though it wasn't thrilling enough. It didn't really make my heart race or startle me as much as The Vacancy did.

I'm supposed to be sleeping now. What am I doing at this hour?? Roy's not sleeping well now because the laptop is on and my fingers are tapping furiously on the keyboard. I suddenly feel like going to bed. How? Feel like shopping as well.

Then I also feel like doing nasty things to someone. You know how some things happen and you can't really get over it and you just feel like hurting the other person to the same extent as how you were hurt by them but you just know you shouldn't, cos it would bring you to the same level as them and, it probably wouldn't do much for the hurt. But you just want to hurt that person anyway.

Ok, I think I should stop thinking about this now and go to sleep. It's already 4am. I know this is a lousy way to end this entry but I know I have to stop or it'll probably go on and on, for another 2 weeks and 4 days.

Goodnight, or rather, good morning.
