2008 December 31, 2008

Isn’t it absolutely fantastic? Finally, this year is over. In a couple of hours, it’ll be the new year! I’ve been waiting for 2009 for a couple of months now, I’m so excited to start the new year(:

In a way, there hasn’t been much to update about because even though I’ve been pretty busy doing stuff, I don’t know, just don’t really feel like updating. Did you know that the girl who acted as Harrison Ford’s daughter in Air Force 1 is the 14th richest heiress in the world? She bought herself a $2.5 mil apartment in Manhatten. Weird huh?

I’ve met up with most of my friends(: which is pretty cool(: Tonight we’re having a new year’s celebration kinda thing, and we’re gonna squeeze with the rest of the singaporeans at the merlion. Singapore’s overpopulated, which causes EVERYWHERE to be crowded. I’m talking about christmas on orchard kinda crowded, even if it isn’t christmas. It kinda feels like India or China. So really, its not nice squeezing with everyone.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! December 25, 2008

I love christmas, don’t you?(: Okay, starting from.. 2 days ago.

so.. 23 Dec 2008

We had a christmas lunch at Shiyou’s HUGE place. Kern cooked lamb shanks and roast chicken and there was honey baked ham with apple sauce. YUM! Let’s see who went.. Shiyou, Jon Lim, Diane, Tung, Fel, Jia Wen, Me, Suzy, Tim, Kern and Shiyou’s mom. Oh! The dog. The food was AWESOME. Seriously. After lunch, we had ice chocolate made by Tim. That was YUMMY! Slightly too creamy though. Probably the ice cream? But delicious all the same(: After lunch we hung around for abit before going to Bukit Timah Plaza to pick up Shiyou and D’s specs. Those that had nothing to do, mainly me, Jia Wen and Fel, went around trying on different pairs of glasses. HAHA! Fun!(: Tim made a new pair and Tung went to check his eyes. Scary stuff. Oh! Before I forget, there were 8 of us altogether and only Tim drove. Shiyou’s mom dropped us at Bukit Timah Plaza. When we were all done, we decided to go to Guthrie House for, wait for it… more food! Thus, we ALL piled into Tim’s car. Literally piled. Kern and Tim were in front, I sat on Shiyou and D’s lap, Fel sat on Shiyou and a little of Tung, and Jia Wen on me. AMAZING I tell you. It was fun though, laughing and talking in the car, though it was REALLY squeeze-y. Afterward we dropped Fel off and the 7 of us went to Urban Life. Oh, we dropped by Tim’s new place and it looks REALLY good. We didn’t go up, just around the downstairs and its SO cool. Urbs was really fun! We sang carols and Yan was so much fun! Laughing and singing. Yes, this is the way christmas should be celebrated. Food was really good as well! Made a couple of new friends and learned more about people(:

24 Dec 2008

Spent the day preparing for the party that night. We had the whole family over for dinner and games and count down and opening presents(: HAHA! That was REALLY fun. We played charades which Didi made up. HAHA! He had all the new words and random phrases he stringed together. Everyone just randomly acted it out. HAHA! We all laughed so much. Us kids then went downstairs and played with the snow spray. Some super cheap spray that got all over our clothes and hair. Don’t worry mom, we cleaned up the downstairs before we left. Then a few of us decided to do a dance and we choreographed some really silly dance to do. It was fun though(: 

25 Dec 2008

I love all my presents. Thanks guys for the presents(: I’ll definitely use the things i got(: HAHA! Went out with my parents, visited an old friend of my parents too. Went shopping with Shiyou and then tea with the rest. This christmas was really different from the other christmases. Oh boy, oh boy! I can’t wait for next christmas! I went with my cousins to watch Australia. OH OH OH! Its AWESOME. Everyone should go watch it! Really. Its really good and so cool. The young boy’s eyes are really nice. So big and such long eyelashes! I think i’ll have dreams of Australia now.

3 days to Christmas! December 21, 2008

I’m busy busy busy for the next few days! Christmas is SO NEAR and we haven’t even put up our tree yet! I reckon we’ll do it tomorrow. Ouhh, I love Christmas! This year I’ve got 2 parties to attend. Well, not exactly a party, but sama sama. Urbs tomorrow night too! 

Danzation ‘08 was really good! I never knew that there were people in Singapore who actually dares to be on stage and show what they’ve got. Its pretty cool. I mean, they aren’t from like a dance school or anything, they’re just a CCA in poly and they put up a concert. It was really good. The dancing was so cool. I really wish I could dance like that, I think I look more like a clown. Ah well. If we all got what we wanted, life wouldn’t be fun anymore. The up times are only up because the down times are not as up as the up times. You get what I’m trying to say?

I’m just in the midst of wrapping up the gifts for everyone and boy, is it tiring! I guess its just the many many presents and all. There’s still a TON to wrap though.

Christmas time, Christmas time!(:

The Stand December 20, 2008

So I’ll stand with arms high

and heart abandoned

in awe, of the one who gave it all

So I’ll stand, my soul Lord

to You surrended

All I am is Yours.

 

Today was a really good day. I got a fresh sense of peace from Him. For some reason, I felt like I could relate to this song. 

I had fun today. Oh gosh, I have really missed you girls. WE BETTER MEET UP SOON!

E. E. Cunnings December 19, 2008

Oh! The joys of Christmas! Christmas shopping, and wrapping of gifts, and then the giving of these gifts. I love wrapping presents. Even though they may be torn open in the end. I still love wrapping presents. Things might not have gone according to plan, but hey! At least we tried.

Please don’t worry now, It will turn it around.

I’m hungry. I give up planning meetings.

BIG night out December 15, 2008

Check it out! We’ve got tickets for The Ting Ting’s BIG NIGHT OUT! YEAA!(: Oh, I’m SO excited, if you haven’t realised yet(:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACINTH!! Okay, one day late. You’re such an awesome girl. Full of fun and joy and I love you heaps. You’re such a blessing to me and I’m SO glad that you’re my friend. Thanks for listening all the while and talking to me and all. I LOVE YOU! The pretty Miss Low has turned 18(: FINALLY!

I’m watching The Big Bang Theory now and its so funny! HAHA! And I think that the girl is really really really pretty! Ah well. 

You know what, the weather is really weird. It suddenly rains and then stops and then rains again, even heavier! I guess Melbourne weather is even weirder. Oh oh! The Trinity Summer School people are coming back soon! YAYERS! Now I’ve got to go do my resume for IMH. Aiyoh.

laughter filled the air December 13, 2008

I realised how different we all are. Each and every single person. We’ve all got different personalities, different views, different opinions. But in the end, people are still people. We all still have feelings, emotions. However, each of us perceive the world differently. This would cause us each to have our own opinion on what anger is. We all have a general idea of what it is, but the actual feeling is just electrical signals being sent to our brain. My idea of angry might be extremely different from yours or it might be exactly the same, we’ll never really know. One of the things that I’ve always wanted to do was to change bodies, and live as someone else for a day. See the way they view the world. Kinda like Freaky Friday, except I get to control and choose who and when I want to change bodies. Now wouldn’t that be cool?

I was talking to Yihui last night, and as I was telling her things, I suddenly felt really immature. Like, I suddenly felt as though we should be talking about other things. I felt older, and then I saw how much I’ve grown this year. When I was volunteering at Church, the teacher in charge got me to cut up shirts. There must have been about.. 60 of them? The weirdest part was that the thought of complaining didn’t even cross my mind. The thought of the past did though. I thought about Gerlyn, and how we complained the last time we helped out in PK in secondary school.

Oh, I went to my grandma’s place today for lunch. Isaac, my baby cousin, is the most adorable thing, EVER. Okay, I’m biased. So what! Soon enough he’s gonna start talking and then in a couple of years, he’ll be my age. I was counting the years just now, and when I’m 36, he’ll be 18. How scary is that? SERIOUSLY. I’ll be married, with kids, and he’ll still be schooling. WOW. Its so bizarre. Now that’s a weird word. Bizarre. i wonder who came up with it! its so random and it looks… weird. 

God has something planned, something in stall. I can feel it in my spirit. Its just not the end, there’s more to come. Oh, there’s a stirring in the spirit, there’s an urgency in this hour. We your people must obey, can you hear the footsteps of God?

not just a one way thing December 12, 2008

i just spent the whole day out with the hardings and it was TONS of fun. seriously. woke up early this morning, and went to the zoo. it has unofficially become one of the 77 unofficial wonders of the world. the zoo is actually alot of fun. we all have our favorite animals. mine’s the giraffe, james’ is the cheetah, uncle chris’ is the orang utans, i don’t know about the rest though.. hmm.. anyways, we had loads of fun. after the zoo we went shopping and i got a new skirt!(: YAYERS!

videogirl rock my world December 10, 2008

i just got home from my cousin’s wedding dinner and it was actually pretty boring. seriously. i changed tables like.. 3 times? and i ate so much cos there were only 8 of us at the table, when the food was enough for 10. so yea, i’m so very full now. my cousins are really pretty. the girls larr, the guys are not bad too(: oh man! my cousin’s getting married on 12 nov, and i won’t be here): how annoying! gosh.
