xmas greetings 2011

Heylo! How’s 2011, the first year of the new decade, been for you? Hope you’ve worked hard, studied hard, and most importantly, partied hard! :P
Firstly, an apology from me: I’d intended to send this greeting out to you on the 11th, which would give you two weeks to read and respond to it before Christmas, but yeah, unorganised me kept putting it off, and putting it off, and then suddenly, it’s like, “hey, Christmas is THIS SUNDAY! And I haven’t written anything yet! XD
But yeah … this year has been slightly steadier for me … there wasn’t the high of returning to hong kong of seeing all my beloved family for the first time since god so wantonly destroyed my life with the brain injury, nor was there the devastatingly low of rushing back to Hong Kong when my most beloved grandmother so suddenly passed away from lung cancer. Sometimes I really do wonder at the saying “it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.” I mean, is it really worth to experience such joys, only then to go through such agony?
However, that isn’t something I’ll need to dwell on, because come 20th January, 2012, my parents and I will be flying back to Hong Kong to visit all our beloved friends and family! I’m incredibly excited, especially to see my paternal grandmother, who’ll be NINETY-TWO! She had a fall recently, the poor thing, and went off her appetite, refused to eat and everything, but I said to her, “come on, grandma, you haveta eat your head off! I’m coming back to see you next year, and I’ll join you in eating till we’re big, fat happy penguins, but you start first and I’m sure I’ll catch up to you in no time at all when I come back to see you next year!” And my little cousin Mickey, who’ll almost be 4.5. He’s already promised to play with me when I get back to Hong Kong, so if he doesn’t, I’m going to sulk at him something major until he does. :P
But I’d just like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year. All the best for whatever new endeavours you may be undertaking, and hopefully whatever you’re already doing will continue to go well for you.
Take care, and all the best for 2012!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
