Festive Blues

I'm having a cyclical bout of misery again. I think it's the festive blues...

Realised it's always this time of the year, that I start feeling blue, miserable, bored and lethargic.

The pushing and elbowing of christmas crowd is getting to me, the perennial blasting of "Jingle Bells" is driving me nuts, the headache of finding gifts is aggravating my migraine. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas... it's the repetitive stress syndrome that I can't bear. Getting too commercialised year after year.

The other thing I absolutely dread... the darn question. Well-meaninged relatives and friends asking the exact same question year after year... "when are you getting married?" Hello...! I'll let you all know when the time comes. Don't they get bored of the question? I'm scared of the thought of going to family gatherings... knowing I won't be able to escape the horrible interrogation and the same story of why we should get married being told again and again.

I'm so blue, that I don't feel like writing in chinese, I don't feel like doing anything, I just want to sleep... and hibernate for the rest of the festive shopping season... and escape the questioning.

I swear after the festivities, I will be back to normal again!
