Hi, yes, I’ve decided to write about a few of the things I wrote on in my notebook on my iPhone. It’ll be short, though (somewhat short). 1. Chess. Everyone in Norway has been obsessed with chess ever after Magnus Carlsen won that championship. I’m not that into it, because I was not watching the championship, nor do I know the rules for the game. But Grepper had apparently told Lynx that he wanted to learn, so we (Lynx, Monchita and I) went for a search for a chess set. He definitely laughed when he unwrapped it on Christmas Eve. Ever since, Lynx and Grepper was sat in deep concentration playing chess on the dining table. It wasn’t until yesterday evening that he managed to beat Lynx, and he cheered in joy. 2. Gin’n’rummy. Whilst the soon to be wedded couple were sat playing chess, the rest of the people (Volla, Lumba, Monchita and I) were sat playing gin’n’rummy (a card game). In the games we’ve played I’ve never won the total win. However, I’ve won the most rounds. And it’s not actually intended? I keep waiting for people to be smart and win. But they never are. Once I even decided to not win a round, though I could. I just felt bad about winning all the time. But the final rounds are always a bitch to me. Can’t seem to win it. 3. Dad listening to dubstep. The other day when Grepper and Lynx were sitting at one end of the dining table and playing a game of chess, my dad was sitting on the other end with his iPad in his hands. And then suddenly there were loud music coming from the iPad, and I thought it was a mistake. That my dad had clicked on something not intended. When I got up from the chair to help him turn the volume lower, I took a look at what he was listening to, and had a laugh. Because he was listening to dubstep—which I exclaimed out loudly to Lynx and Grepper who were looking up from their game of chess by that time. 4. twenty six people in our living room. On Christmas day we had a get-together at our house. Which only happens once a year. We spent the whole day making food (well, not me) and cleaning (definitely me). And of course my dad made too much for the whole gang. Though we were actually 26 people with the kids included. And my living room isn’t that big. Grepper looked scarred for his life—the tallest person in midst of all the Asian people (Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, etc.). 5. Lynx snorting. I don’t remember what we were doing—but I have a feeling we were watching a funny movie. And then something funny happened, obviously. And we all started laughing. Lynx laughed a bit too hard and snorted, which made Lynx, Grepper and I laugh even more. 6. David putting his puzzle in between the Christmas tree, and Lynx doing the same. David got a puzzle for Christmas from one of his aunts (one of Grepper’s sisters). And he started leaving it in between the branches of the Christmas tree, like it was his personal shelf. And he continued doing so, after he’d played around with the puzzle. And then one day Lynx did the same automatically. And I was like “erm, did you just put the puzzle in the tree?”. And she did a double-take, before she answered: “I guess I did”. 7. Looking for the car with Grepper. Yesterday we were at the mall. Lynx and Grepper were already there after having a training session (health freaks kept up with their usual training regime throughout the holiday). And the first thing the rest of us wanted to do, was to place our jackets and coats in the car. So I got the keys from Lynx, and then went to find Grepper, because Lynx said he could show me where the car was. He was talking on the phone when I spotted him, and I was just awkwardly looking at a nice jumper whilst waiting for him to finish the conversation. When it ended I told him what Lynx had said, and we walked to the parking. At the mall we have two parking houses with different floors. Both Lynx and Grepper insisted that they had parked in the ground floor. But after walking around the whole floor three times, and me suggesting that maybe the car was in another floor, we went up one floor. Immediately when we got to that floor, Grepper said “oh, right, this is the correct floor”. I could have said “told you so”, but I’m far too nice for that (at least I’d like to think so).
