So What If I'm Solipsistic?!!: Buon Natale Folks Plus The Summation Of A Day.

Buon Natale!

Christmas mood was certainly in the air today as I was shopping. I've met many shoppers humming along to the Christmas carols blaring out of the shops, and whilst I was walking around with the hat, many people seem to be smiling at it, or it could be that they were just laughing at my eccentric-ness. (that's not a real word by the way)

But hey, to each its own right? I shall wear whatever head gear I like to the mall.

So anyway like I was saying the Christmas mood certainly has arrived early, and I constantly have to stop myself from humming "here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus" because I can see my sister is at the end of her rope having continuously listened to carols for more than an hour. Christmas, like any other national holiday, has evolved from a simple celebration to a full blown holiday extravaganza which involves us spending lots and lots of moo-lah. Though I try not to be materialistic, but the sight of so many wonderfully shiny trinkets on sale made me delve into my purse time and time again. It seems like every shop window I passed I can automatically here myself saying 'ooooh I want that!' or 'I MUST get that!'. So I guess I'm really just another materialistic teenage girl.

*sheds a little tear at having finally joined the dark side but brightens up a moment later when she realises the dark side has cookies!*

Anyway it has come to my mind that I haven't really done a proper summation to my 'end of the exams' day, I'm not sure if anyone here really remembers or even has the vaguest hint as to what examinations I'm taking, well it's A levels actually. It's kinda..ok it's grueling.

This is proof that I'm actually enrolled in a college doing this A levels thingy.

Well the examination consists of 5 subjects and 13 papers altogether, and since we're staggered with other examinations so it took quite awhile to finish all these papers.I can't comment on how I did because I'm not really sure, good news is there seemed to be an answer to the questions, bad news is I'm not sure if it's the answer their looking for. I take the 3 sciences, math, and thinking skills which is a compulsory subject in college. Needless to say everyone was really really relieved when it ended, and the moment it ended, on that day itself I jetted of to Midvalley with my long time friend Vivian.

It was actually pretty amusing as both of us did not know the actual way to Midvalley, and we assumed that the other party knew. So after a lot of mix ups we managed to find the place, and even luckier managed to find a parking there. Hoo boy did we shop, there were no pics, neither of us were particularly in the photo snapping mood, but rest assured there will be more about why we are shopping coming up.

So anyway, while I was there, I found this at the highest level of the mall where World of Feng Shui is, and this dish is actually a popular Taiwanese snack affectionately named 'Coffin Bread', recently a new twist has been put to this dish, whereupon usually a savoury snack it's now a sweet dessert, toast with ice cream and caramel, yam meh!

So I'm eating the savoury version, and well, to be honest it wasn't really that nice after the initial 5 bites or so, the toast is deep fried, so the outer layer is golden and crunchy while the inside remains soft and fluffy, the filling is a starchy salty soup like filling with mix veg and crab meat, it sounds nice and all, but can be a little sickening after a few bites. As the bread is really oily and the soup just a little too starchy. Oh well, thumbs up for the strawberry tea though.

And that's how I spent the last day of examinations, pretty tame right? Some of my peers have interesting ways in which they spent their last day, I also have first hand versions of the spectacle they displayed, and that totally made my day cause it was hilarious, with the capital H.

Till then people of the world, one must take over the world one hat at the time!
