Nothing much happened these past few days... I'm either at home, or I'm somewhere around in Bishan. Like what Luke would always complain about me, I'm "like a hermit stuck in the Bishan shell"... Haha, not really. Went down to Sentosa's beaches with a few friends to play beach soccer in the rain... Came back with sores and bruises and scratches and blisters on my toes... Ouchie... Nutseed is driving me nuts, cos it's eating five hundred thousand sunflower seeds everyday. And yup, New Year's coming. Suddenly everyone that I know of is starting to rush all their holiday homework... While for ME, I'm sitting down here completely relaxed, looking forward to new school days... But what crap, even though I don't have homework, people are still asking me for help in their homework. Worse still, ask me do their "brainless Maths homework", but turned out to be a nerve-wrecking tedious work... Grr...

I've got a new life to take care of now... Andre and Coleman and Felix and Cheryn "ganged up" together to give me a hamster for Christmas... Oh well, the hamster was named Nutseed, because it's basic diet consisted only of nuts and sunflower seeds. It refuses to eat anything else.

It's the time of the year for Christmas again. I don't know... I am NOT looking forward to Christmas-es anymore, especially when I received some bad news on Christmas last year... Well, not to say I'm not celebrating it at all, cos I know Christ was borned on this day to die for our sins and stuff. It's just my personal phobia that something bad will happen again...

Um, anyway, this festive period was okay so far. For one thing, I managed to convince Yicheng to come for the Christmas Musical. I haven't followed up with him yet, but he seemed interested in the whole musical thing... For another thing, this year's Christmas party was much much better than last year's. I ended up involved in the planning again for the second year in a row, and became the "unofficial lead" for the worship. The whole worship was quite abrupt, cos I was entering and exiting all the songs anywhere and everywhere... The treasure hunt was also surprisingly fun, even though it seemed messy and hectic... Most of all, the response and enthusiasm was G-O-O-D...

I don't know what I'm supposed to be feeling right now... Puzzled? Relieved? Calm? Frustrated? I guess I'll just settle for mixed feelings... Well, it takes a lot for me to trust people, and even if I do, there's always still a stumbling block somewhere. Communication was never an option to me. I had to FORCE IT to become an obligation... Sorry if I chose not to divulge much of my personal thoughts, but I couldn't force myself to do it... What can I say?? I'm learning... I'm still learning... It's going to take some time, and a lot of hard work...

Tuesday 21 December 2004

Whee... I'm so proud of myself. I actually managed to do some shopping on my own!! Haha, I know it's only shopping, but you must know that I normally cannot get any shopping done ON MY OWN, unless there's someone like my mum who'll drag me around... So yup! I managed all my Christmas shopping on my own this time round, except for one or two single souls whom I've yet to got a present for them yet... But of course, a lot of the gifts were like "what should I get for this person??" Then after half an hour of aimless shopping, I'll "just buy the first bird I spot"...

I'm feeling very sickly now... I'm hit with a terrible bout of diarrhoea for the past few night. Goodness knows what I ate, but I'm really crapping the toiet like nuts... And if I'm not in the toilet, then I'll be spotting a stomachache for most of the time. Ugh...

I got posted to NJC, Arts course, for my first three months next year. The guys at MOE put me through straight to NJC on my first choice, and yup, I'm contented enough... Other than that, I'm still bogged down with Christmas activities... I'm supposed to be the unofficial-interim-in-charge of the planning of Christmas Eve activities, but I'm not really up to doing anything... Chicken... And I've still not done my Christmas shopping with less than a week to go... And I'm still short on cash. It's going to be horrible for the next few days for me. And all I wish for my Christmas now is to stop this nonsensical and untimely diarrhoea...

Thursday 16 December 2004

Yes, it's another one of those moments when I'm still awake even though it's past midnight already... Um, I DID try to sleep earlier, but I ended up tossing and turning on my bed so much that I gave up trying to sleep...

Let's see, today was the table soccer tournament at Jericho. Yup, I made it all the way to the semi-finals, but I only settled for 4th. And needless to say, Yurong and I killed off all our opponents in the doubles pairing to emerge unbeatable again!! MUAHAHAHA... Haha, I would definitely love to describe every single detail of the tournament, but I'm not in the right mood now. Table soccer has reduced me to an EXTREMELY TIRED state, my arms are aching, my eyes are sliding out of focus everywhere I try to focus... I call this the "table-soccer hangover" syndrome... Anyway, I promised Kathryn that I'll write a report / account of today's tournament for the Jericho website, so I think I'll fill in the details in that report / account instead... Go read it at the Jericho website when it's ready. =D

I've gotta start my Christmas shopping soon. But the major problem is, as always, FINANCE... I definitely won't be able to spend money on presents for everyone, cos this year I forgot to save up for Christmas shopping. No choice, I'll only be giving presents to my family and special friends only. So if you're expecting a present from me this Christmas, don't. And yar, I've updated some details of my blog as well... It's good to keep this site in tandem and in relevance to whatever is happening in my life now...

Saturday 11 December 2004

Hmm... At least I'm not slacking a lot this week, unlike the previous weeks where I've been an absolute lazy bum... Yup, I went out shoppinga couple of times, been to J8 3 times this week, been all the way down to Sun Plaza at Sembawang which was so uninteresting... Yar, the rest of my time is spent online, earning money by the thousands on Neopets, or I'll be fighting Pokemon on Pokemon Crater. My life seriously needs some kick, or else I'll be hooked on all these lame online games targeted for KIDS...

Yawn. I had a good night's sleep last night. Instead of service/cell last night, we were gone to invite people and distribute postcards about the Christmas musical around the neighbourhood... Was assigned to the same block of apartments as Jericho's block. Gosh, out of the many times that Cheryn and me were ringing the dorrbells, only FOUR apartments opened the door for us... Sheesh, guess that they're just not that friendly...

And yes, the music is changed again. It's a Kutless song.

Tuesday 7 December 2004

Brr... I'm feeling very cold now. Been raining almost non-stop for the past 2 days already, and I'm really shivering... Uh huh. I was at Changi Airport yesterday with Yicheng, sending off Luke, Fred and Alex to Indonesia on a holiday to Basuki's hometown. The airport thermometers were registering 22.2°C outside, but it was definitely colder with the air-con inside... And Yichy was late, so I was waiting/shivering at the spacious Changi Airport MRT for 20 minutes... Funny thing was, all three of them who are flying off all wore checker-ed shirts, so it was kinda funny to see them in a common checker-ed dress-code checking in at the counter. Haha...

I'm also feeling very fortunate and honoured now. (wink!) Oh well, sometimes as time goes by, you really learn to appreciate the stuff that God has put in your life, and I can't say how much more fortunate and honoured I am right now...

Um, yar... I'm not really up to much nowadays. Since there's nothing to do, I'm back to playing Neopets again. Yar, it's lame, but it's fun to earn money and grow rich... I've got more than 100,000 NP now after playing for one week. Eh, and Felix is bugging me to change the song back to Powerpuff Girls... Ooooooooo-kie... I will in another week or so... =D

Saturday 4 December 2004

Hmm... A lot of stuff are happening right now. I don't really know how to deal with them, and I'm going to take one step at a time. Interesting-ly enough, most of the events happening aren't happening to ME, but to all my good friends... Sigh... I'm getting really worried for all of them. Take care, all you people... While me, I'm going to take care of myself first. Top on the list is to eat and sleep well. Second, shower all my friends with loads of love.

Changed the quackie music. Go listen to it yourself.
