So, i've realised that i haven't actually blogged since like 10 days ago. Life's been running at quite a pace here and there that i haven't been able to find time to sit down, relax and put my hands to the keyboard. And come to think of it, the days ahead for the new year will be real hectic considering all the project submissions. Dang, guess the poly just doesn't seem to like the Christmas and New year season. Just a little of what's been happening.
Cameron and KL trip
6 families, 6 cars, 25 people (if i'm not wrong, but still a huge group), 2 apartments, very little real beds but a million air beds, jackets and sweaters, guitar (and a baby taylor at that) and carols, really cheap peanut pancake (22cents for one), shopping, eating, shopping, eating, shopping, eating and of course, not forgetting shopping and eating. That should about sum up the whole trip. hahhah. It was fun i would say, celebrating christmas with 5 other families, and leaving singapore to forget the hustle and bustle. Rather than the fun you would find with friends at the usual hangouts, its actually real heartwarming to celebrate it together with people close to your heart, and people you can be real with, like your family. And i'm glad i did. Cameron and KL was one hell of a holiday that i really needed to relax and thank God for the great company. Shall post the pictures up soon when i do get a hold of them.
27th Outreach
So, the whole convoy of cars rushed back together early in the morning from KL to make it possible that a few of us youths could attend this event at church. No regrets. The production was great, the decorations, the flow. Congrats to the planning committee. Despite being a Christian for a really long time and sometimes being immune to sermons (you all know what i mean), the production actually caused me to really think about myself, how i sometimes give in without thought. For the fact that it did, all i can say, is that the production was a success to me.
Somewhere around here, school comes in to spoil the holiday mood. To be exact, on the 29th of Jan. As if school starting wasn't bad enough, they even made this a submission date for one of our assignments. *@^*#!(##*$! Well, its over now, and at least we have 2 days break for the new year. But school starts on Fri again. I'm glad my lecturer thinks the board is out of their mind too when i was sharing with her how i felt, at least the teaching staff still had some sane people. Half a sem more till the holidays. As the ting tings would say," SHUT UP AND LET ME GO!"
Cousin's ROM
Technically, i actually have a 3 day break for the new year cause i didn't go to school on tues as well to attend my cousin's ROM. At 23, and she's getting married. Wow. Not what you guys are thinking of right now, she easily fits into her gown without any trouble at her hips or waist, so get those thoughts off your minds. Its quite unbelievable still that she's getting married, when i could still remember the times we went to holidays together to have fun as kids, all naive and childish, and suddenly, here comes the bride. Reminds you how fast life runs when you don't stop to think. Lucky for us, events like that sometimes cause us to realise and make sure our life, although running fast, runs right. Mmhmm. The growing up stage never fails to draw you closer to your friends, and further from your cousins. We have to make amends to hang out more often cousins, and the fact that you guys stay all the way in Bukit Batok really isn't helping.
So, 11 of us got together to celebrate bernie's birthday last night, which so happens to fall on new year's eve, the 31st of Dec. We went to this buffet at marina that i thought was really good. You have your own steamboat to yourself (meaning you can dump whatever you want in there without any worries) and there's ala carte orders as well. We ate like kings, mmmmmmmm. And the funny part is that you can make them play a birthday song and present a cake. haha. We took quite a few pictures (because niki came along also). Due to the financial crisis, we gave up the idea of spending money and proceeded to hang out at a playground. haha. A provided the drinks. Oh yes, haha, earlier in the night, we talked about cops coming to check on us and bernie being able to shut them up since she just turned 18. It really happened. hahahah. Talking, laughing, sharing, counselling, encouragement, that were sometimes serious. haha. Cabbed home with bernie, miao and nuo when the night ended. Before i forget, sorry i told the whole world about the tear in your heirloom top nuo, hahahahaha.
Well bernie, we hope you enjoyed yourself, on this very special day. Thank you for all the times you sent me home, being someone i can always rely on, someone i can talk to, someone i can laugh with, and just for being someone that's a somebody. Happy 18th Birthday! (=
Ok that was a mouthful. I shall post up the pictures soon enough. 9 hours and 15min to the new year. Here we come 2009!
