Time	Event
12:39a	CRACK-post! This morning, I was awoken by quite a lot of noise. It sounded as if aliens had broken in and wanted to steal my racket away to sell it to Saturnians at a high price! The HORROR! As I awoke and my vision focussed, I was greeted to a much more spectacular surprise! Valiantly working elves had set up a workshop in my room in the middle of the night, already busy making all manners of trinkets! The first words -and almost only words- I heard from them were 'Santa'. Yes, Santa! I reached into my wardrobe and donned the bright, rich red and snowy white garments designating me as such! Since I was missing shoes, the elves made me a pair of big fuzzy slippers. They actually look like giant panther paws. Quite lovely! I now begin a new life, and I have a new mission! make children of the world -at least tokyo, my designated area- happy on the 24th! All this, of course, while continuing to flawlessly play my own tennis. Hm, what awaits me after the 24th then, after my mission is done? Emperor of Japan...? (7 Comments | Comment on this)
3:08p	A few Thoughts This song will now always make me laugh. Yesterday was the Christmas Ball, which was a long-awaited event. I am still in quite a strange mood from all this. What happened there was simply beyond my expectations. This day was perhaps the best I had this week. I do have some presents left to give away, but in case it fails, I hardly think belated presents will be refused. I can hardly express all of my thoughts here. They pass by so fast... My verdict on the evening: It beats Paintball. I am looking forward to christmas eve and the following day. In fact I have been anticipating it since the beginning of the month. What it means for our family is two full days in our secondary residence with the whole extended family. What it means for me is a whole evening of piano playing, along with my cousin accompanying and occasionally relaying me with his violin. It usually comes to a close once everyone simply passes out from exhaustion. I don't think any other annual event brings fonder memories. Except maybe a few tennis matches...
