CPI stands for Consumer Price Index, which measures inflation. Or it could stand for the Christmas Price Index, which also measures inflation -- but in a different way. It uses the items in the Twelve Days of Christmas and measures how much it costs to buy all 78 items then and now. Items: partridge in a pear tree, two turtle doves, three French hens, four calling [sic] birds, five gold(en) rings, six geese, seven swans, eight maids, nine dancing ladies, ten leaping lords, eleven pipers, and twelve drummers.


Okay, gold rings costs USD$99.99 each and dancing ladies are significantly more expensive than leaping lords. In 1984, when the CPI just started, all items costs $12 623.10 (I can still envision Aik Ann saying "...and 45 cents" with so much passion!) and today, in 2009, they cost $21 465.56. Those are in US Dollars, by the way.

Christmas@Home on 26th with mummy's cell group was one of a kind :D Little kids are easily fascinated, and are more so by 30 games in a handphone, like Mei's. Good thing my phone wasn't harassed because i didn't have cool games. But well, I was once that age, joining in the fun and the games, though I am quite certain I did not scream and demand my way or attention like Constance nor was I so silly as to play hide and seek and knock into someone's chin with my head like Janelle. It was interesting entertainment when Mei and I were trying to find things to do while the adults chatted and the kids played catching around the Thomson Ridge Bungalow. So we each took a kid in our mind and we looked at their actions then we created a conversation based on their actions; its just like Who's Line :D

Whats your christmas gift? Jesus is the best gift of all! :D
