Christmas Day

December 25th, 2006 by Kemar

I must say that today was by far the worst Christmas I can remember ever having.

First I wanted to sleep through the day because for some reason I knew I was going to hate the day, but that sure as hell didn’t happen. I particularly told both my mom and little brother not to wake me up, my mom honoured my request, but my little brother made it his mission to wake me up. So after a million attempts to wake me up and him keeping so much noise I just could get back to sleep so I gave in and got up.

I had a very light breakfast consisting of a slice of sweet bread, cake and some tea. Didn’t really want much to eat anyway. So my mom and grandfather start to make the Christmas Lunch, when they realise they have absolutely no seasoning to season the fish and meat with, so they call by my grand mother to see if she had any, which she did so I had to go and get it. She only lives like a mile to a mile and a half way from me, so I rode. Get up there get the seasoning along with some other things, ohhh joy on my way back I get soaked, well not really but the rain fell and wet me.

I’m back home now, get something to drink and watch a little TV and battling with my brother to change the channel.

Now comes the Christmas Lunch, I had Macaroni Pie, Sweet Potato Pie, Rice, Fish, and some vegetables. This all went down very good, so much for me wanting to eat light today.

My mom has to work on Christmas, so she has to leaves and my little brother wants to go by his grandmother which he does. So that leaves me and my grandfather here, we watch a little TV. Then he has to leave and go back home, which leaves me home alone. Which wasn’t so bad, I got some sleep and surfed the net for a little while. At first it was great being home alone but after a while it kicks in, its Christmas and I am home bored out of my mind, the net gives me no satisfaction and there is nothing of interest on the TV. Damn.

So that’s how my Christmas went.

A night out

December 4th, 2006 by Kemar

So today on our way home my mom who is a hostess at a hotel tells me an my little brother that we are going out for dinner tonight with some of her friends that she met while working at this hotel. And this was not the first time that they have taken us to dinner or been our hosts in any way, last year when my mom went to England they took her out too, they are from England too.

So I come home and look for some thing to wear, iron them and take a bath then leave the house. We actually got there on time and they were at the bar. The one thing I didn’t like was that people were in there smoking, i just can’t stand the smell of cigarette smoke, however I just learnt to deal with it and not fuss about it.

So for my starter I had some vegetable samosas, which were very good and hot, they served it with ketchup. I think they could have made some good sauce that would have gone with it, but hey they still taste good with the ketchup.

For the Main Course, I have garlic fried shrimp with rice, the shrimp was great, I loved it. My mom was right when she told me that Garlic Shrimp does taste good, hell I can still even taste it hours later. I just have this love for shrimp.

Yeah I had some desert too, some ice cream. Which is okay as I had some of the same brand earlier today.

We all sat down and enjoyed our dinner over a good conversation, which was mainly me listening to them, but I talked and was talked to too, The gentleman asked me what I planned to do after school and I told him and he gave me some good advice. It was a great experience.

My little brother got a little restless and was running around in the restaurant, but this was only coming on to the end so it was no big deal in my opinion, or rather I didn’t make it a big deal.

I must get out of the house more often, my mom was shocked when I said I was going as I usually don’t leave home.
