The festive season is here once again. An occasion filled with love, joy and lotsa gifts and wishes. And of course not to forget the true meaning of christmas: The birth of Jesus Christ. This christmas was different as compared to the past years. At orchard, on the wall of Tangs shopping center, there was this sign that said, "Even the wise men seek Jesus." It really took me by surprise when i saw that. A more interesting ones i saw were recently on friday in front of Ngee Ann City, "Jesus Is Born. The Reason for The Season." and "Heart of Christmas. Love Came Down at Christmas." Yup yup...for those of u who have noticed, either one of these two is written in the christmas card i gave.

The past two weeks had been a tiring one for me especially the past one week when i had my mid-sem tests on-going. Despite that, i had good times too. Last week even though it was 5 days after my birthday, the crusaders sang to me birthday song after the short meet-up at the ampitheatre. At first i was like singing along with them as i didn't know who was the birthday kid and i really didn't expect it to be me. It was quite pai sey la as there was a church event abt to go on at there also and they clapped and cheered along. Wah..face turned hot sia. Then after that, hansheng, klement and bo chun treated me to Swensen. Thx guys for the treat!!!

As for this week that had just passed, it was practically a period of studying and buring mid-night oil. But friday was a grt day as it was the day of my last paper. Hehe. After the paper and having fries with cheese (yum!!), i headed down to suntec city with aisha to take a look at my stuff before we went orchard. We ate at Breeks for lunch and it was aisha's treat for my birthday. So nice loh..hee ;) Thx babe!!! Nxt time ur birthday my turn to treat you. The food was ok but i will nv go there and eat again. Just not worth it.

Soon it was time to exercise. In most females' dictionary, exercising here means shopping. Rite rite?? Retail therapy after all the hard work. Heh ;P And of course in the end i bought 2 stuffs, one is a Billabong white handbag and a slipper. So...now i'm broke. Hehe.

Then we headed to Tampines where we looked ard at TM for a while before aisha went to meet her fren and i went to look at the carollers sing at CS. I tot they were gg to sing on the stage which i saw few days back but it was taken down for the product demostration. Sheesh. All their fault that tjhe carollers had to sing beside the christmas tree. Still the carollers did a wonderful job with all their beautiful voices. The attires were interesting too. Bright and colourful ties. Heh. I was surprised though to see one of my secondary junior prefects singing as well. Only knew she joining PMC during TOFU.

Didn't join the carollers yesterday neither did i went for candlelight service yesterday. I was at my cousin's house (dad's side) and i sipped a bit of wine as it was really strong liqour. The interesting thing that happened was when one of my uncles took out his golf club and the mini 'field' and told us that if we shot one in out of 5 tries, we get $1. It wasn't the money but the challenge and fun of it all. And it was really hilarious seeing the different direction the ball went when it was hit. Of course my bros and i got the $1. Haha ;P

As for today, i went for service at usual and giving out all the cards and gifts except that i cldn't give everyone that i wanted to as i didn't have the time to write the cards. Sad sia and i felt bad when they gave me. The youths gathered ard to pray for ber as well as he is leaving soon for his studies. Aww..amy jie gonna miss him. ;P

Afternoon didn't go anywhere as my fren was a late in telling me so as i was going to have dinner with my cousins (mum's side) at Cafe Cartel. I had the christmas set meal which was chicken and i didn't expect it to be so big. It's quite nice though but the best was the baked potato. Yum!! The log cake had wine inside and though it was chocolate, i didn't like it. Tasted weird. My mum bought fruit tarts for everyone as well so we ate that too. Delicious too.

Overall, this year all my celebrations were with my family as compared to the past few years. O and i noticed that i have brownies (thx faith), chocolates, cookies (thx nich and lee huan), lollipop (thx amy jie..so nice that i can't bear to eat it. Heh ;P) and even gingerbread man (Cafe Cartel). Plus is like my house is filled with ferrer rocher chocolates going in and out and in. Lol.

Okie..gonna stop here before u guys start falling aslp. Wishing you guys out there a BLESSED CHRISTMAS (belated) and have a fun and great time. Nitez.

It's been a while since i last updated this blog. Didn't really have the time to do so as i have been quite busy for the past few days. The upcoming one is the X'mas Outreach Party on the 18th dec, which is this coming sunday. The games are roughly done while the dance still needs to be settled completely. Hopefully everything will come out as planned. The next one is my upcoming mid-sem tests, which is next week, and i hvn't really started studying. My goodness...And i have my CDS individual assignment and POM project progress report due tmr.

Besides all the busyness and tiredness (physically and spiritually), i'm a happy gal. Why? My mom bought me an ipod neno for my b'dae. Whee...i din't expect her to get it for me though i asked her for a MP3. Even if she did get me one, i din't expect it to get me ipod neno when i juz casually said i liked that. Surprise manz :) O yeah..i pierced my ears as well. I actually wanted to pierce it quite a while ago but decided to make it a birthday pierce. Heehee ;)

This christmas i really dunno whether i have time to settle the presents. Tmr gg town with yap min and howe luen to shop so hopefully, can get everything by then. But then, there is still the christmas cards. Ahhh...packed sia. Dunno whether i wanna go carolling on the 24th which is to the houses and whether i want to go for the candlelight service. Sianz.

O..before i forgot, eunice z jie told me she saw someone who is both like sis n me. The top is like me, the bottom is like sis. Dotz. She finds it amusing lor while i find it freaky. Can't imagine manz.

Ok..gtg do my tutorial for tmr. Ciaoz.
