Holiday Humbug

Dear readers,

Yes ... it is that time of the year again, where enterprising businessmen take advantage of unsuspecting holiday makers with silly trinkets and bogus sales.

Christmas deco at the Curve

It is sad how commercialized Christmas has become, with the whole Santa Clause gimmick. Well, I know for certain that he is just a fat guy in a suit. Just so you know, Christmas is about Jesus Christ and Him alone. Anyway, I was going through the internet and found this article about the origin of "the angel" on top of the christmas tree that I thought would make quite an interesting convesation during parties, aside from the weather of course. Enjoy!

The Angel

Not long ago and far away, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip, but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the sick elves. Santa was begiining to feel the pressure of being behind schedule.
Then Mrs. Clause told Santa that her mum was going to come and visit. This stressed santa even more.


When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows where. More Stress.
Then he began to load his sleigh, when one of the boards cracked and the toy bag fell to the floor and scattered the toys.


Totally frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of tea and a shot of sherry. When he went to the cupboard, he found the elves had drank all his liquor and there was nothing to drink.
In his frustration, he dropped his tea pot and it shattered into a million pieces and all over the kitchen floor. He got his broom to sweep all the bits up only to find that the mice had eaten the straw off the end of the broom.


Just then the door bell rang and Santa cussed on his way to the door. He opened the door to see a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said: "Where would you like to put this tree fat man?"

And that my friends, is how the little angel came to be on top of the Christmas tree.

Dear readers, I must beg your pardon. This might be a sight of me that you have never seen. I was taken by a whim. Yes, I was overwhelmed by a sudden urge to draw that I offered to help my cousin design a birthday card for her friend. FOR FREE!! I must have been struck with temporary insanity. Front Inside Ah boy, I sure miss drawing! But I need a project ... hmmm ...

Destressing 101

I have my own way of taking stress off. My true roomates (sworn to the allegiance of the A1-0-2 sisterhood) might know of it. It can turn messy at times but it is really calms me down. At this point if some of you are getting a little nervous or uptight, let me assure you that it is something decent. What on earth is it, you might wonder? Why, it's rearranging stuff of course. Every box will be opened and inspected and rearranged; not a single one is spared. These boxes for books, magazines, shoes, bags, toiletries, and miscellaneous items, in turn, will be piled up accordingly. It's somewhat like a major spring cleaning with indexing and proper labeling. Well, at least it is not shopping! Ugh ...

Heart Broken

My heart is bleeding. My external hard drive is not working! Gone the 9.2 GB of mp3s, project backups and not to forget, other vital documents. Funny isn't it, that hard drive was suppose to be my backup! Argh! What happened? Well, I had this "window file delayed" ballon on my system tray. So I took out the USB cable and connected it back. That's when things went absolute cuckoo. I saw the blue screen of death! Then suddenly, that awful message "dumping physical memory .... 10%". The number kept increasing and I freaked. So I restarted my laptop again but that was probably not the best thing to do, because now it is not even reading it! WHY?!!!! I have never been so heart broken before! Oh yea, okay, I felt the same when I lost my 128 MB mp3 player+pen drive+FM radio with a 256 MB SD card inside. The loss of appetite, the intense depression .... Well, I am going to watch 'Harold & Kumar Go To The White Castle'. Hopefully that would take my mind o...
