I'm spending the last day of 2007 slacking at home!
It totally beats squeezing with the countdown crowds in town. I think it's the first time in years I'm spending it at home. I will usually be out with my friends, either counting down or staying over at their place. And it feels sososo good to be at home with my family. This is the 2nd time (yes, 2nd time) I am able to slack at home this hols. You can see how much of a luxury it is to me. =)
Last week was quite a busy week for me. It's a week of reunion and reminiscence as I met up with my primary school, secondary school and JC classmates over a span of 1 week. It's like going back on a time machine to revisit my childhood and growing up days. 23rd of Dec was spent at PL's house with the 3/4 Freakz. Surprisingly, zhihui was there! I have not seen her in a million years! PL's mum was a great host. She never fails to amuse the bulk of us with her funny comments about her own son and amusing questions as well.

RVHS 4F!
X'mas eve was out having dinner at Waraku de Pasta with Vaneh and co. Janice brought me a Santa hat and we walked around Marina Square in it!

At Waraku!
X'mas Day itself was spent with my girlfriends at Settler's! I hope this tradition of meeting up on X'mas Day never dies! Can't believe we have been doing this since sec 1! =) Love u gals lots! I am waiting for xf and el to send me the pics!
And yes, I met up with my primary school friends at JP Macs on the 27th! It feels so good to see everyone again. It was a last minute decision by Wen Wen and Harry who are back on holidays. Surprisingly, around 8 of us came! We all live near JP anyway, so it's quite easy to get people to meet. We kept ourselves amused for hours by reminiscencing on those silly days back in primary school. Wee, and we are planning more meet-up sessions over the next few weeks before everyone gets busy again! =)
Went to Settler's again on the 28th, but with 04S61 this time round. Daniel, Karen, Jane and Daowei came during dinnertime. My goodness, I have not seen daowei in a million years. Sososo surprised to see him that day! Haha, Karen and I were laughing at how mismatched the guys from our class looked. They still looked so mismatched after all these years. *lol*

04S61!
All in all, 2007 had been a great year for me.
I made new friends, re-found old friends, got into the course I wanted to, grades were within my expectations, did many many things, joined many activities that widened my perspective...
Hope that 2008 will be an even better year! But, that means we will all be turning 21, something which I really dread! =(
Goodbye 2007 and Hello 2008!
X'mas Song Sign 2007

Oh my, X'mas song signing is over in a flash!
所谓“台上十分钟,台下十年功”, all the hard work we put in over the past few weeks was just for that few minutes of performance over the four days.
Our first stop this year was at Bugis Junction. The crowd was rather sparse as compared to last year's. I guess the rainy weather and location of the stage contributed to this. But nevertheless, RSPHI was very high as usual and surprisingly, all the groups did very well for their first performance! Afterwhich was a mad hunt for presents for the song sign group's gift exchange. We desperately combined all our items together in exchange for the free wrapping service provided by Action City. Everyone ended up eating desserts at the food court while waiting for their presents to be wrapped.

Perfect X'mas at Bugis
Our performance the following day was at Jurong Point. We had practice in school before heading to JP for the performance. I think JP is the best venue cos there's a nice, big stage for the juniors to perform on! The performance was great cos the general feel of each song was fantastic! I could feel the joy of X'mas in the air! =) Was actually kinda tired after such a long day, but some of them actually had the mood to go catch warlords! I decided not to join them and shopped around instead. That's when I caught sight of the fossil watch on discount and decided to buy it after much consideration. It's actually an early birthday gift from my dad. I am not that rich ok. =)

Perfect X'mas at JP!
And I got to perform at Wisma on Friday with the other seniors! The stage at Wisma is super pretty, but badly positioned cos there's not much space for the audience to stand and view the performances! But yea, it's good to perform again! The last time I performed was during Project ID in June and WSC welcome tea in August!

Perfect X'mas at Wisma!

The senior song sign group!
Went to Ding Tai Fung after the performance cos we skipped dinner to practise. Anyway, all xiao long baos taste the same to me. People kept telling me how nice the xiao long baos in Ding Tai Fung were, but I really dun see the difference between the ones here and the ones in Crystal Jade or Boss. Haha, they all taste good to me!
And before we knew it, our last performance date has arrived! We had our final practices and gift exchanges at some void decks near J8. I am super super touched by Perfect X'mas's juniors! They are really a wonderful bunch of people! Though rather quiet at times, they somehow always managed to surprise us with some unexpected stunts or initiations! Look at what they made for each of us:

It's super pretty! And very sweet of them too! =)
They treated us to Pizza Hut too after the performance. Could tell that they really love us a lot. Haha. =D

Perfect X'mas at J8
Oh, I got a Baby Pooh puppet for the gift exchange!!! It's freaking cute! Thanx Yiping! On top of that, there's also cards and messages from many others. Thanx people! And here's a big thank you to GL too. He was not able to give me his hand-made card during the senior song sign grp's card exchange session cos he had been very busy lately. Could tell that he was feeling very very bad. I was ok with that, but I diden expect him to go back to hall to finish the card and pass it to me personally on X'mas eve. I really appreciate it. He really kept his words. Now I know why he managed to win the heart of his "future happiness"! ;)
It's all over already. Crazy it might seem, but I really do miss song sign practices. Thank you RSPHI! Life in Uni would not have been the same without u guys. You guys had became an indispensible part of my Uni life. No words could express my love for you people. =)
"And if I had one wish come true, I'll spend the perfect x'mas here with you."

Catch me song signing at Wisma Atria tomorrow if u guys happen to be there!
I can't believe that the xmas song sign performances are going to be over soon!
My holidays was basically spent at the freezing cold SAC, practising xmas songs with my beloved batchmates and juniors. =)
Amidst all that, I managed to squeeze some time out for dinner with my lovely friends as well. Met up with jinx,kia,sk and hf for dinner on Saturday night. We ended up at the hawker centre at people's park cos hf was craving for something more 'Singapore'. I bet he missed Singapore's food like crazy after spending some time away from here. But it's pretty cool for him to tour Beijing all alone! I like the idea of touring and exploring a country all on my own. And thanx for that lovely notebook. It is very very cheena indeed. 我喜欢! We idled our time away in Macs before going home to watch tv shows.
I love the holidays! =)
And..I made a lovely purchase today! A pretty fossil watch! =)
I wanna go shopping! I want new bags, new clothes and new shoes!
Time to hit the malls after I am done with xmas song signing!
Busy Busy!

*brushes cobwebs aside*
Sorry for the lack of updates, but I had been super busy with the X'mas song signing practices! And before I know it, my holidays are already halfway through. I can't believe it! There's still so much stuff I wanna do! But then again, song sign pracs are fun, so time flies when I am having the practices. =D
And boo! I am out of the house everyday! There's no one day which I stayed and slacked at home for the whole day. Was out with my THM friends last Thursday to watch the movie Enchanted. Oh, it was a hilarious movie! The princess and prince were pretty much of an airhead. Was super amused by them. =D
The farragoians held a surprise birthday party for wenqi on Saturday night at yy's house. It was pretty successful and I think wenqi was very touched! And YM's curry chicken turned out to be nice! Diden know he could cook that well.
Sunday was a long day, where we spent almost the entire day at Mountbatten CC for the Chinese Course OpenHouse. Response was lukewarm, but I think the participants did enjoyed themselves. Hope they will help spread the word and we will be able to recruit more people for our Chinese Course next year.
Met up with kia and jinx on Monday! We ate at Billy Bombers and I felt super bloated cos the Naked Gun Burger was humongous. But it was nice! =)
Was out with my HR group for the of Tuesday. It's nice to see them again after almost 2 weeks! Haha, hope they can all get the same slot as me for next semester's seminar and we can have lotsa fun again! =D
Just came back from dinner at Big Eater Zichar with my RSPHI friends. I am seeing them for almost 7 days a week. But I have never regretted my decision. RSPHI really added sparks to my Uni life. Looking back, I am thankful for having great friends from my CCA, my 1st year in Uni and both my specialisations this year. So..thanx for everything! =)
Can't wait for the week of X'mas. Having lots of meet-ups and gatherings! =)
Gathering Cobwebs!

This place is gathering cobwebs again!
Anyway, the holidays are finally here! Time to chill and relax after such a hectic semester! =)
I just finished last paper last Friday (like, finally). Frankly speaking, I couldn't be bothered with what I wrote. I was staring at the clock and counting down to the final moment of the exams. Hehe.
Had lunch at Pizza Hut with my HR friends and I must say the chicken meatball pasta there is very droolworthy! I had some time to kill before meeting the girls at KL's room and so...I decided to take the shuttle bus down to IMM to do some shopping! It's so nice to just window-shop without any projects and assignments to worry about! IMM now is so different from what it used to be. I remember it as a boring, ulu furniture mall when I was a kid. It's been ocnverted into a shopping mall now, save for a few bridal and furniture shops.
After that was a crazy night with the gals, playing settler's board games in KL's room, courtesy of the JCRC. I love Dawn Under, the game where you had to match the vampires with their graves. Can't wait for the HR group outing to Settler's next week!
We had dinner at Big Eater zichar near our house. It's the best zichar stall ever! I freaking love the food there! =)
Hotplate tofu!

sweet and sour pork!

Kangkong!

We ordered a few other dishes as well! It was a great night out with the girls! =) I can imagine us doing that 20 years down the road.
Saturday was spent at the Children's Association Charity Fair with some of my HI friends. The DJs from Yes 933 had a booth there too and almost all their DJs went down to man the stall! There were performances put up by various groups, including SADeaf as well. Oh, and I finally saw the X'mas lights this year as we were strolling down the streets after dinner!
Pretty!

And no, I didn't stay at home on Sunday. I went shopping with Kia cos we were both bored!
Monday was the start of the song-sign practices! 9 more practices to go before our performance! I love song-signing with RSPHI! =) The camaraderie and spirit forged during this period last year was really wonderful. Looking forward to experiencing the same fuzzy feeling all over again this year. Went for Wilbur Pan's concert with ade after that. Saw lots of my friends there as well. Seems like everyone loves Wilbur Pan! LKC audi was full despite it being the holidays. I thought the turnout for the campus concert would be bad. But it turned out otherwise! 潘帅真的很帅! *beams* And he sings quite well too! Woots!
My day doesn't quite end here. I went down to Bugis to meet my Yr1 friends to celebrate huifen's birthday! Happy Birthday Lao Da! Woon Ping was the only guy there cos the other guys all went on holidays! Lucky people! Goodness. He actually had a tripod stand with him and much to our amusement, he took it out and we took pictures ourselves, right in the middle of the steamboat shop. -_-
Woke up really early today cos I had a meeting with ade and elaine at woodlands library on the Loreal E-strat thingy. We submitted our decisions in a jiffy! Haha, I dun think we will even make it past the 1st round. It's like super confusing! We just joined for fun! Afterwhich was shopping with ade at Causeway Point and West Mall. We were commenting on how it feels like we were back in RV again, hanging out at shoppiing malls with nothing to do. =)
I am now wondering what to get her for her 21st. Haha, I bet she is thinking about what to get me too. Headache! Shall go shopping more often for more ideas! =D
My schedule for the whole of Dec is super duper packed! I will be out of the house practically everyday, alternating between song-sign pracs, outings and meet-ups! Hope I can get to slack at home before school starts again!
Enjoy your holidays people! Life is great for now! :)
