Christmas is my favourite time of the year...twinkling lights, Christmas trees, carols, santa clauses, elves, and all the wonderful shopping displays...and the presents of course...kekeke. It marks the end of another year, and just the time to reflect on what you have done the past year. I have to say that I have no regrets in coming back to Melbourne, I miss every single person at home (no, wait...or is it the food...??), and even though I don't get to spend it with my favourite people, they are always on my thoughts. Christmas this year was spent celebrating with close friends. We had a nice pre-christmas dinner and presents -- Nic, Tim , Joko, Roger & Jean, at the Union pub in Fitzroy. Got Tim & Rog some anitpasto, Nic & Joko travel pillows cos they were going to India for a holiday, and Jean a photo frame. And I got a book on "How to quit smoking the easy way" by Allen Carr (kinda only read that half way through, pretty pathetic effort...wasn't brave enough to quit yet back then).
Then on Chritmas itself, joined Wil & Max for a bbq at one of Lucy's friend's place, Maggie & Chun (cosy little house in Box Hill). (Max by the way, was Wil's ex-housemate, I have taken over his room now, and Lucy is Wil's cousin and she's going out with Ray, my other housemate. So how many housemates do I have I hear you ask? 3 and a half - Wil, Ray, Lucy, and Spike her german shepherd). Just the best way to spend Christmas....

The irony of the How to Quit Smoking the Easy Way book is that the author, died shortly after from lung cancer. @_@
But so far, how's the quitting going?
Damn...really? Well, I've been pretty good until the weekends come along and then my willpower wavers and I succumb to it under the influence of the "few" drinks that I often have...*sigh*...but at least now I know its all in the mind and not as hard as I always thought it was...
It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am master of my fate:
I am captain of my soul.
"Invictus" W.E. Henley
