I don't know what gets into me lately.
I am not (that) excited to go home (not like I used to) and to celebrate Christmas. (I love Jesus and I miss being in His house but the fact that people makes it commercial not religious anymore, that annoyed the hell out of me). Instead I want to be somewhere else, as remote as Cambodia.
I get annoyed easily when people keep doing the countdown on Facebook or matter of fact Twitter everyday. I mean lets be logical, if it's 14 days yesterday obviously it is going to be 13 today, what is so hard about it? Don't let me start rambling about the Christmas shopping update, I get enough of what people shop and how many days spent in shopping. When particularly here in Kuching you can't really shop- not only the choices are limited but also not worth the price, I rather run amok shopping on last few days before Christmas in KK- knowing that there have more than 1 malls to be crazy with.
Anyway it just that, people missing the whole point about Christmas, it is about you and Jesus. About what it is mean celebrating His birthday (religiously), not exactly about the myth of Santa Clause, and nightmare of Christmas gifts. O well, when come to this I am too serious, just excuse how irrationally serious I reacted about these whole thing, it just disappoint me personally.
I've been reading quite a lot lately.
I am still reading The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenidas. I take my own sweet time for books I love, because I have this habit going back to pages trying to understand the connection of the story- or unavoidable trying to read behind the words. I am half-way done though. But in the mean time, I am also reading Charles Dickens story The Old Curiosity Shop (Weekly serial in Master Humphrey's Clock, 25 April 1840, to 6 February 1841). When I am reading 2 books at the same period of time, I will read one classic and one contemporary, it easy to remember the story when I resume where I stop. I am planning to re-read The Catcher in the Rye, I find it amusing on my first read.
Maybe the reason why I can easily throw my annoyance lately, (maybe) because I am trying to find peace to myself. Accepting how things fall apart, why people behave certain behavior, and how complicated my family background is. Perhaps, when the real picture came into place, it scared you a little bit of how you gonna move on from there. There are things that we can't choose to keep, but forced to learn to let it go. Perhaps that's what make life difficult, other than people.
But, I still want to go home for Christmas. Having dinner and supper with family and siblings is the best time in my life. I am sure it is time for family, that you can not buy even with expensive book.
