"Have Yourself, a Merry little Christmas...."



It's probably snowing away at the other half of the hemisphere yet here we're constantly inconvenienced by torrential rain. what a dread to leave home when you know it's safe and sound at home.

Tell me about the number of times you're about to leave your flat and the rain just starts pouring away at your door step. your pretty pair of shoes are drenched like the way your mood is the moment the sky darkens...

And as if you'll feel much consolation, Christmas is on its way! i'd like to think that since it's a season of giving, then God must have wanted to bless S'pore with more water. i can't think of a better explanation than this.

Or can the incessant rain be the tropical version of a snowy christmas???
Instead of a WHITE christmas, we're having a WET one. nowonder people get kinda depressed during this period. like cracking our heads for gift ideas are not enough, we have to put up with bad weather...this also means we have one hand less to carry the shopping bags cus you'll probably have to use one to hold an umbrella.

I hate crowds. that explains why i was drinking coffee at starbucks, people-watching with glynis on christmas eve. we couldn't think of a more innovative way to celebrate christmas, and there was nothing quite merry about it. the countdown was kinda random cus who knows which clock to follow? and off went the poppers...i don't do poppers btw...it's the next closest thing to a bomb, followed by balloons. if there's a device to measure my excitement level seconds before and after the countdown, it should read "anti-climax". at best, we settled with a movie marathon. it could've been on any ordinary day but that's the best alternative to avoid the smelly crowd yet not bore ourselves at home.


Orchard Road in the morning was disgusting. On christmas day, that is. the smell of party ribbons and sticky foam on the ground was unbearable. the aftermath is really not a tourist-friendly sight, considering our clean history. the eves of special occassions is like a ticket to destroy. i can't help but wonder if s'poreans are really that oppressed on the other 363 days in the island. it's a real pity for the cleaning personnels. they must be cursing away at those people.

the only thing that was so chrismassy about this christmas was that christmas songs are ringing continuosly in my head, except for the time i fell asleep on the first train back.

"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...Jackfrost snipping at your nose..."

@ Balcony Bar

am i tired or am i just bad at drinking? well, take me drinking someday to find out k? i'm curious too...cus i really don't think 2 glasses of vodka lime can knock me out...haha. i wasn't knocked out lah, if i am then i won't be blogging now.

Anyways, was at Balcony Bar for my volleyball senior's 21st birthday.
it kinda set me thinking how i should plan mine next year... chalet's a bit cliche but it's the most convenient....blah blah blah.... maybe it's still early to be brooding over such stuff.

Balcony Bar is at the Heeren's [f.y.i]. it costs like $2000+ for 20 to 30+ guests....what a bomb! but my lucky senior's got a rich and doting dad...
if i were to hold my birthday there i'll not invite those "SaiKang" friends for sure. don't waste my money man...but if they don't drink also a bit wasted cus it's all in the package.

Totally in our own world...haha!
...Glyn and me

***just recieved a msg from jiayi lim. it reads "i miss you. Good Night!"
realised how i've been "neglecting" her for tv....i'm such a lousy friend.

boo. i better sleep now. i can actually feel the vessels breaking out in my eyeballs....

Heels are so Lovely.

They make me taller, make my legs seem longer and my esteem higher.

BUT!

They cause so much pain and discomfort. i had a hard time getting used to.

Still, i'm proud of myself. i donned this dainty pair of heels for half a day.


New Best Friends...

when i was 9, i had 5 best friends...now, i'm still friends with 4 and lost 1 [she's "MIA"].

when i was 14, i had 3 best friends....now, i've had 2 of them in my friendster contacts, and had fallen-out with 1.

when i was 16, i had 2 best friends....they're still with me now but i'm closer to 1.

when i was 18, i had 2 best friends....one of them's attached and we hardly meet, and i always hang out with the other until today.

Now that i'm 20, i have ANOTHER 2 best friends....haha.....


Meet my New Best Friends...

Heehee...my lecture mates, tutorial mates, lunch kakis, gossip providers, laughter generators and my best companions in NUS!!! my lovely Jiemeis!

my point is, everyone of us has different sets of best friends at different point of our lives and sometimes it can be tiring to maintain...especially when we get seperated. But best friends aren't just friends....they don't come and go....they're here to stay. it just takes effort.

sometimes you can't help feeling tired over who's gonna organise the next outing, who's not gonna make it for one, who's always busy with their own lives and boyfriends. you get pissed, you get frustrated mostly because you don't have a boyfriend. you flare and then ignore....and after that feel bad for it. you've known each other like forever yet you still hate their attitudes sometimes. of cus, you know they're like that, you know their character but you can't help getting mad. They say things you don't like to hear, or mean things to your face. you tick it off as they're just jealous. then you start to wonder, why are You all even best friends when you get so irritated with their flaws??

But at the end of the day when we get to meet, we laugh our hearts out, we make each other smile. that's what matters.

haha. maybe that's what friends are for.

Hapenning Holiday! - japanese students, glorious food and some other happening stuff....

Finally managed to put up the Christmas tree!!! we were a lil late this yr but who cares!!! and the presents at the foot of our tree are all real okay!!! just that i already know what are inside...

...this yr's Xmas resolution: EVRYTHING HAS TO BE CHRISMASSY!!! SO, to begin with, i sewed a brand new christmas collar for muffy!!!!! aaaawww..... just look at him.....isn't he adorable........




at the rate he's prancing around in the house everyday, i might as well grant him his christmas wish of being a reindeer!!! lol....and from the look on his face, his probably gratefu......right?

the chrismassy-mood inspired me so much i had to paint my nails according to the theme. but good things don't last man....i cleaned it off already.....the faceshop nail enamels ain't all perfect you know.....

it's a happenning holiday cus i've finally started my driving lessons!!!! yay!!!! driving's so fun!!! it's really a relevent skill, depite the cost-factor..... even if you have a chauffer, even if you like ppl driving you around, even if you don't think you need to learn....it's good to pick it up someday. despite the couple of blunders i've had in my first lesson, it's still fun!

the eve of my dad's flight to India [again], we went to have a sumptuous dinner at the MushroomPot at the Inoddor Stadium! wah... the food was indescribable man!!! a whole lot of mushroom cuisines to your likings!! lol. i never know mushrooms tasted soooo good! and the mushroom brewed steamboat.................speechless................... and i drank a tiny cup of sakae!
ummm.....it tasted like nail polish remover...the scent of it kinda burns ur nostrils....lol...... and you should finish it warm....i think it'll taste nicer with sushi though...


Finally....i just completed my first hosting job! at first when i recieved the preparations list i thought it's gonna be damn sian and troublesome. but lucky me!!!! it was super fun and engaging!!! the students were easy to get along with and we had lotsa fun!!! all of them even gave the hosts gifts from Japan! so nice!!! though we had some problems with communication, it doesn't stop us from oggling over the characters in Hana Yori Dango!! hee.. the worst part was the walking....and i was super tired and even fell aslp in the train back home. i think i drooled a bit too....whahaahaa.


...and did i tell you the guys in yy's group were soooooo cute??? kawaiii!!! s'porean guys r a bit um.......you know, compared to them? lol. they don't even look like they're 16 or 17 can?! hai~~ wasted.... but luckily our 2 grps took neoprint 2gether!!!! happy happy!!!

oh!!! and i went for Keith's poolside buffet the other day... he didn't change a lot i suppose...still as decent looking as ever... and nicholas teo n gang still as crappy as ever....some things just never change...conclusion drawn: NS guys r pretty much deprived...or maybe it's just them. just realised mi lu bing is keith's churchmates... and i saw their gfs...haha

k lemme think... what other happening stuff?? ooh!!! i bought 2 pairs of shoes and my mummy bought 3!! happenning right??!?!? lol...
