Christmas Story - Church production.
Haha ... really nice performance by the Chior.. our very own city harvest actors and actresses as well as the musicians ... not forgetting the special effects team. Really great... Matchable to TCS production i must say =P. Well, it'll be good if they carried out the X'mas Drama production before X'mas day ... where the x'mas spirit is still rich and strong. Nevertheless the church staff really work hard to bring about the success of the play. So did the mobile Carolers who went about the church singing carols and really dancing to the tune!! :) I am glad that i saw one ofr my primary school friend - Boon How there ... too bad his twin brother boon keat aint there. :P Well haha .. it seems like my whole blog entry today is about Credits for our church stuff.. but really they i did an aweseom job ... You will agree if you were there with me. I emjoyed myself ... got free dougnuts and drinks at the end :) [ sponsored by the church. ] Men i have to start doing homework :P

Finally the pay check is ready .. have to go down to pluto tech to collect our pays tomorrow
X'mas
Today is supposed to be my happiest day in this season. I get to eat great food from my uncle's place ... Fried noodles ... pizzas .... colesaws ... bread sticks ... X'mas log cakes .... so much more good and yummy food. I also get a chance to see my newborn baby cousin .. Grace :) ... amazing grace indeed. She was very happy to see so many people in the house and you can always catch her bright happy baby smile.My uncles says she likes clocks. It looks to be she likes people. My uncle confirmed that. She is really adorable. After feasting, we watch one chinese drama on TV which is pretty lame .. but effectively funny. After that , i went home with the remianing log cake, some kentucky fried chickens and fried noodles. So far so good. The day is quite well spent and i enjoyed myself.

Later, i went to watch some performances in Esplanade. We are supposed to watch a drama, some carollings and a musical. Well, we were partially late but we managed to watch a group of chior's performance there and then. They sang really well and it is quite entertaining.. watching them liven up the crowd's spirit with their songs. A while later, i met the rest of the gang .. so now there are a total of 6 of us. 5 guys and a girl. We witnessed another performance by another group of chior which was pretty cool too. The sway side by side while singing and they got some of the kids to dance in one corner. cool rite?? :). Some of the gang left for a while to find our cell group leader ... and at the same time eat somewhere as well. I went to explore the place for a while to find the location of the next performance. Sadly i can't find it in my 1st exploration alone. On my 2nd go, this time with Ah hui, we manged to find the drama performance near the colours of the bay. We watch for a while before karista, our cell group leader, contcted us. We met and got to found out they had to leave 'cos it's getting late. And later we found out some of the sisters that i invited who did not turn up ... actually turned up but din join us. Instead it seems like they are avoiding us. At this point of time, i was really saddened and disappointed by their attitude. Well, i got again a strong feeling which came back from the chalet ... that people did not like to attend the activities that i organise. And even with the group that i am with, they don't seem to enjoy the carolling's at all. Well i don't wanna explain why i felt like that. Maybe i am thinking too much. But maybe not. So it that period of time .. i seperated from the gang ... and watch the performance by myself[ which is the last item of the day : Caroling again since we missed both the musical and drama performance. It ain't that bad watching the performance by myself. At least i don't have to care whether others enjoy the performance or not. Well you might think this outing is just hearing carols and all. But to me, what i observe from the performance is that different bands of chiors have a unique way of bringing about the carols and x'mas songs. It's not just about the singing ... it's about their expression . The performance by the Vocal associates, which is the last caroling chior i am listening, is quite different from the previous 2 i have witnessed. The 1st one was erm.. quite normal. The 2nd band was quite jolly and youthful. And the 3rd band was abit more matured and they do not focus so much on synchronised singing to produce the effects that chiors normally produce. They instead have very good vocalist to lead soem parts of the songs. Some of the carols, they had soloist to sing it. Don't be mistaken that i have insightful knowledge of chior bands or deep understanding in this kinda art. All i know is i appreciate their music.

And at that point of time .... i made up my mind ... not to invite any friends of mine to such concerts or performances. Well i rather appreciate them alone by myself than have to worry about whether my friends are coming etc.. At that moment .. a pretty little soloist was singing Have yourself a merry little Christmas. And ironically, i wish i could. I don't know wat's wrong with me but this small little stupid things just make me feel incompetent and .... i dunnoe. I just sat there and listen to that vocalist singing and the other lady playing on the musical keyboard. The gang joined me later to watch the band finish the rest of the chior

Have yourself a merry little Christmas ...
Let your heart be light ...
From now on our troubles will be out of sight ...
Have yourself a merry little Christmas ...
Make the yuletide gay ...
From now on our troubles will be far away ...

After the last performance.. we made our way to suntec to watch LOTR : The Return of the King. The show starts at 1210 ... yup a midnight show. Very nice show i must say. The best installment of the season. The war-epic is cool. The storyline is fantastic. The twist is there at times. The fighting scenes are sensational. The grapics are great. And the ending was quite suitable for the show. I must say the ending movie for the triology is A must-watch for LOTR fans!! the show ended at 0330. Pretty early rite ?? There aint a single bus back home for us!! Even the NR [ Night-rider] Bus are not servicing today since they only serve on midnights of fri, Sat and eve of public holidays. So in the end ... we slept at Esplanade .. The gang slept in the outdoor theatre. For me, i prefer to sleep next to the sea. It was cooling ... and noisy at first. I did my quiet time there ... real nice place to do my quiet time. Then i stare at the sea for awhile before i fall away to sleepy-land. I was soon awoken up but it isn't bright yet. My friend said that we can now take the morning early bus or MRT home. We walked to City Hall MRT ... and the gang took MRT home. For me it's a bus ride home to doom. I didn't get the chance to tell my grandma how late i'lll be back. So i got alot of scolding from her when i am back.I reached home at 0615 and i began to sneak into my bed. What i am really irritated about her is that she likes to compare me. She tells me none of my uncles are so naughty and rebellious like me. But i mean i cant come back after the show ... since all the bus service has been halted. haiz ... trouble trouble .....

~Eve oF X'mas~
I just came back from chalet. Very tired. Slept very late last night as i actually intended to learn guitar lesson from miss wan of our cell group. We ended up singing X'mas carols and worship songs. My cell group chalet, was really activity packed. We actually planned everything ... from the activities, food-wise to the sleeping area of the brothers and sisters. But what i think i must say is, i dun enjoy this chalet as much as my class chalet. It seems like things planned din work out well for us ... or maybe for me i guess. I cant stop thinking about what when wrong and the process of disappointment is just too great. Sometimes ... i got a such a strong neg feeling that people do not appreciate my work ... or that people have little faith in me. Well my doubt is somewhat confirmed on X'mas day

Men ... hmm since its over 12 ... yEsT~~ Was The X'mas concert and men out of all 7 or 8 friends i have invited ... only 1 showed up~!!. Menz, definitely i felt disappointed ... budden wat to do ? So we went to CHC for the X'mas concert and boy was the place pack. Really Ren shan ren hai [ people mountain people sea . It was so crowded dat we had to start queueing from basement 2. The service is at Basement 4 [--]'. So there we go .... i met some kids who were students of our cell group leader. Tink about 7 of them are there. We went down togetehr to start queuing. After a while, i felt hunger bangs ... and so i nudge my fren to go up with me to buy food. Zhiming also followed me up to buy food from the cafe. What we din realise is once you come out of basement 2, you can't go back there because it is too crowded and the management put a limit on pple entering there. So sadly we ended up queueing in the 3rd storey~!. Haha ... not so bad anyway cos i get a chance to meet turtle~!! and also catch with a old friend of mine who work with me in EXpo in Sitex. He is also invited into this concert :)

Well, luckily i managed to rejoin my friends later in basement 4 ... and get an opportunity to sit in the front rows :P. Soon the service start ... and for the 1st 1/2 hr .. we did the usual praise and worship. Soon .. i realise that actually the concert wasn't totally a x'mas concert. It was more of a pastor sun's concert. So my freind and i was abit shocked. We get to learn a dance move frm that concert and get to hear pastor sun's great testimonial which really moved me. Her experience was somehow ........ haiz anyway i am glad she pulled thru' her odeal and become such an influential person today. The concert lasted for 2 hrs ... and at the end of it we had free ice-creams :P yumzz. Anyway, i had a great time .... :) got x'mas gifts from the sisters and Chua our regular host for cell groups. :) thx for everything ... dun think i'll be bloggin for a while until after X'mas ~! So meRRy X'mas my Friends ... & God bless~!

" I have to knock 100 doors, and 99 of them may close, but the 100th door may open. And if i didn't knock on those first 99 doors, then I would never have found the one that will open for me" =)

I also bought gifts for my mortal [ u noe the angel - mortal game ?? ] and also for gift exchange in the upcoming chalet. SO I AM OFFICIALLY BROKE ...

Match With AJC - Hockey
A fantastic match ... y .. cos ... hmm i shall say the outcome 1st :P .. WE won !!! haha 1-0 to AJC, even when 2 of their seniors [tat is the J2's hockey players] are he;ping the, .. .when our seniors didn't help us at all. I must say we have an excellent goal keeper .. and everyone really played aggressively today against AJC. One of the senior is abit violent .... the way he swing his stick ... certainly shows he meant business. We also scored the most number of short corners .... ermm to the opposing team ... haha which means they get alot of chance to do short -corners at us ... [ short corner is something like a corner kick in football .. erm dunno how to xplain .... but its something like tat ] Well, i am quite blur in the match ... so i played pretty badly ... there is a "leg rule" that is if the hockey ball touches your leg ... yr team lsoes possession. So i got leg TwicE~!! in a row :(. Well my friends are not surprise since they seen me foul alot of times during training. Anyway, a good game :P

Haha ... and one more thing ... my hockey stick fell into the mrt track. Boy did i really panic when i found out that the hockey stick wasn't in the train .. and not on the platform as well .... it fell into the gap between the train and platform ... The worst part is its my fren's hockey stick 'cos i am in-charged of their sticks temp. [ dun ask me why i am i/c of their sticks .. its a long story ] The mrt staff told me he can only retrieve it in the night .. where the service is close. Menz ... a real crazy day ~[@@]~

After that we had a break and we play a couple of matches. Den *poof*. time flies .. after 3 and 1/2 hrs of training ... its lunch time.

So we went bugis junction to play CS .. haha .... the rate is good ... and we ecen get free drinks after playing :).

Well, this is where it gets fun. We retreated back to the audience stand ... and we did training there. WE jjog up and down the stairs ... from one end to the other. At first i feel okay .. den soon i had stitch ... so i felt terrible ... and later my legs become really tired. We did alot of sets .... including sprinting up the stairs exercise. well i am glad i din leave any undigested remains of my lunch in delta complex. :)

The begining of 2nd day at Downtown East
Well i woke up at around 9pm :) cool timing huh. Tink all my frens tink i am a pig in de chalet ^['(oo)']^( )~~ Anyway, hong, moo, dan, gambit and kiang were deciding where to spend de day after our late breakfast. We pondered on whether to go swimming, or to go cycling .... or go eXcape themepark ?? We went Xcape in the end. :) Well basically we tried simple simple rides at first like those merry go round - superman version ... We also tried de inverter .. a ride wheere u will be spinned 360 deg and even hang momentarily upside down. It wasn't really exciting ... but more of aching cos of the pressure of the seat barrier on my thigh. We also tried Go kart [ which we split ourselves into 3 groups to join other party of four infront]. And guess what ... we came in first for all 3 events or racing. hehehe ... we also tried pirate ship ... the ride which never fails to give me the falling ... zero gravity effect . After the rides .. we bought some drinks and went back to the chalet to rest. I found out today that my little finger has grown bigger :). Awesome men. I called ny friend to buy clamaine lotion to stop the itch on my finger. Thru'out the day b4 de barbecue... i watch ppple play heart attack .. [ cant play at this state] and listen to jay chou songs. Very boring indeed. When i went down for de bbq, all de satays were gone... Seriously speaking ... the bbq really is bad. No planning at all. All last minute buying of tools and food. Really disappointing.... and erm hungry at that point of time. I ate potato and Otah only out of de bbq. No chickent wings .. no satay ... no hot dogs ... haiz ....

After my bbq dinner, we went Xcape again to try other rides. The queue was really short now .. at around 9 compared to tat during de day time. We tried the indoor roller coaster and wet and wild .. which really is wet and wild. We took lotsa pirate ships at the end cos its the most enjoyable ride afterall. We went off at 10 back to our chalet to join de rest of the gang.

After a while, we went off to the beach .. and men .. the night scene was simply fabulous ... there are lotsa stars .... i can see the orion belt .. and blah blah from there and planes flying by. Ships moving slowly across the horizon. The sound of ocean waves washing the shores. The breeze was real cooling. We stayed there for quite a while .. talking crap ... but cool crap ... eating potato chips and admiring the scenery. We soon went back to the chalet and we met back our friend .. who went back to take his Xbox games... !!! cool men .. so its gaming time for us .... We played a ninja kinda game which is very very funny and most of the time i was laughin my heads offf rather than playing the game. The characters were cute and well animated ... and the game is qutie easily picked up. Totally cool game i must say. We also played versus-kinda games and games whioch fight zombie .. I watched my friends played for a while b4 i finally succumb to weariness and fall asleep.

Short update about the next day
Well nothing much ... we check out and went home straight.
Well what i must say about this chalet is that it is really fun ... i must say despite the disappointing attendence and the bad planning. Well just hope i dun get stung in the near futute ................................................................ again .

Start of 1st College chalet
It was an action-packed day men. The meeting time was scheduled at 1300 and most of classmates arrived at 1330. Well, tat's ok cos i went to check in the room at chalet first with my uncle ... since he is rushing off for work later. Well i discovered a cool thign that Downtown East invest in deluxe room - a Xbox in every room ! Coolz men ... the only thing is non of us brought any games ... so we used itmostly to play audio tracks from CD. The rest of the day was ... i would say very eventful. First, after i went pack to meet my friends, we went to buy food for de barbecue and of cos drinks 2 for de chalet. Afte that, like all chalets that i've been to, we played blackjack, dai dee, bluff and heart attack . Well this is when jf and the rest come and join us in the chalet after their game of pool. We played the number game to see who gets the unlucky number. Well the punishments are quite interesting so i shall try to recall exactly what he says. "The loser, if he is a male, will have to go to the opposite room with a comdom [which he brought] and say.. " Do you have other sizes ?" For the girls, they'll have to do the same but they'll say " Can you fit into one of these?" yah that should be what he said. Well one unlucky girl got the grand honour to walk to our neighbouring unit to say that lines. haha well it was quite a blast and really its funny...Well the good thing is those people nextdoor happen to be people we knew[ they are from SAJC too] =P. Well i can tell you i definitely prefer this punishment than the following two punishments. For the next round, the loser if its a guy, has to parade around the whole chalet with a girl's inner-wear .. worn outside. Well dat definitely beats the prev punishment ... doesn't it? [--]' for the girl's punishment .. i cant remember =P ... cos the turnout happens to be our lucky boy jf ... who thought of all the spendorous punishments. He promised to wear the inner-wear later so we played the game for the last time. For the last match, idea again by jf, the loser has to kiss someone in the room. Wooo cool huh .. this should be interesting .... nice to see some *smooches* btw my frens ... wahahhaa ... well if i know what will happen next .. i will definitely take back my ...erm thoughts :( ...

Dun worry i am not the next victim to this treacherous punishment. The same girl who went next-door for the " comdom speech " got the deal. She seems very excited. Well unfortunately, somehow ... we have to play a deciding match to find her a person to kiss. Well, eventually the supreme winner of this match happens ...............................................................................to be me [--]'
Well this definitely is a conspiracy. My friends handed me condolences after another. i prepared for the worst . haha dun worry i am not saying she is a bad kisser or she is very unpretty. But ... haiya ... there were cameras here and there so i dunno where to dodge. soo ..... in the end ..... the action took place .... but i dodge the kiss ... but in the camera .. maybe b'cos of the lightning ... they thot i got kissed. Okay enuff fuss over this kissy fissy matter.

We went to play soccer after that ... We played at pasir ris park grass patch with the people nextdoor. The field was really muddy but we continued on playing.. And oh ya .... haha jf won that "inner-wear" out to play soccer. That certainly drew attnention from both the guys and de girls. Good thing for him is it isn't that crowded at the park. Or else ... haha .. Anyway, we played soccer on the muddy field ... and it is seriously funny and fun. My frend, moo, slided 5 times in the whole game on the muddy patch. His normal white white pants has obtain a new cool brown color. the opposing goal keeper was .. i would say really cool and hot. He played well .... biut at the same time get his white outfit a brand new shade of colours. Well an unfortunate thing happen after that ... was that moo lost one of his spectaccle lens on the muddy field. We comb and circled the area to find the missing lens in the dark [ cos its nightimenow duh ] And sad to say ... the shadows and mud patch are really making the situation worst. Eventually, the search was called off and everyone went back to the chalet. This is when i cant believe my luck/or maybe blessing. :)

I got sTung by a stupid little idiotic bee agian!! cool rite. 16 years of my life i got nothing .. and on my 17th year i received 2 stings ... this one ... was 2 months after my previous sting!! this time it was on my little fingle. How can i be so sure it is a bee? Actually i did not see the bee on my finger ... only felt the sharp pain on my little finger. Took a look ... saw a lil' needle-like sting ... Pluck out the sting ... and ran back to wash my hand with soap. Well i cetainly hope it ain't a bee but the fact that i am typing with my swollen little finger right now + confirmation by my doc .. dispels all my doubts. Men bet u can't be as lucky as me ..

Later in the night, we played blackjack ... this time with money. I started with a humble 5 cent bet ... and i eventually rose up to 60 cents :). Haha the banker was very fustrated with my betting because mmost of the time i lose my bet, which is only 5 cents and out of the whoel match he has to pay abt 80 cents and only gain 5 cents from me =P. Well after all its only a game .. so i dun bother betting big. Anyway .. i cant remember how i spent the rest of the nite.. The gang were playing dai dee ... mahjong ... with cash ... while i was eating potato chips ... nachos to be exact. I watched TV ... watched them play ... tried to sleep ... slept ... woke up in the middle of the night ... they were still playing ... found out that i got colgate on my face ... armed my self with a blanket over my face ... went back to sleep again. Some of my freinds din sleep at all until 6-7 am next morning ... hmm anyway i still prefer to sleep zZz despite strong objections from my friends who seems to prefer to spent the nite playing cards and mahjong.

Haiz, I am suppsoed to go KTV today .. ehh from my memory database, i had only went to ktv once and that is with my family. Ha .. but in the end, i din manage to go KTV which i heard is in K-box ... got such a KTV? Well i had to settle the numbers of the chalet today and confirm the unit number bla blah with my uncle .. Well, i hate to say but i tink our chalet attendence is really pathetic. Everyone seems to have something on .. on either one of the 3 days. No one seems to make an effort to block up 2-3 days of their buzy schedule for our class chalet.. Where is the class unity men ?? in the drain ?? I noe the chalet cost is expensive.. and erm i din noe we can actually accomodate 20+ over pple in a room. If more people are unable to come .. the chalet cost/ individual will increase .. Ultimately dun tink it's fair for those who r going .. Well i ain't blaming those who really can't make it. Just hope our chalet will be fun... and action-packed ~~ o_O

Exciting Day .... SAT 1 Test exam

Well i was scheduled to meet my friend Ah Pei so that she can bring me to St. Francis Methodist School this morning. Well, i am not sure why but all most every exam .... i am bound to meet some troubles or problems. I was scehduled to meet her at 0730 in the morning at the stop after Bukit Panjang. In the end, it was at around 0745 when i reach Bukit Banjang LRT. Well the reason i was late was not because i purposely wanna be late to show that i am de boss :) ... but ..... partly because maybe i left the house abit later and also i miss the train when i reach the station [ had to wait for 10 mins (--)' ] Haiz .... Well her father was quite angry already ..... and guess what ... i am supposed to alight and change to another LRT ... dunno la ... stupid LRT system .... so i ended up in another stop ... I had to return to Bukit panjang ... and using a cell phone to receive directions to meet Ah pei... Damn .. imagine u made 2 person angry early in the morning before a major exam .. Sigh ... And her father did not scold me .... :(
Well normally if the person remains very quiet and calm .... liek serene .... ya u can tell that things r really wrong and haiz ... I actually intended to erm say " yo wassup uncle ... sorry for being late ar" In the end ... i apologise and just sat there thru'out the journey

Well well ... exams r always full of surprise for mez ... Ah pei told me we must wear college uni to school. Well then why is everyone wearin something other than the college tee ?? Haiz, we totally out of place. Well i am just glad we arrived in school on time ... and the rest of the SAT test was smooth - sailing =)
For the 1st-time i manage to complete the whole paper without skippin a single question. The last section ... section 7 was like primary school maths :) ... so lol very cool. But i struggled alot in the anologies and the sentence completion in the paper. Think i am going to lose a whole loadful of marks in tat sections.

Well, i spent my rest of the day in church and finisng presents wif my church friends .. for our church friend :) Haiz .. tired men had 4 hrs of sleep ... so i gonna end my blog with a full stop

Monday, December 01, 2003

Well for the last day ... the sales were erm really disappointing ... I sold only 1 computer and i am feeling really miserable at that period. For the 4 days, i have sold 5 coms .. not wat i expected since i was told by the manager that an average newcomer can sell up to 33 coms [--]' .. Huge difference men. The best seller was Harula [not the real name .. of course] .. who sold 11 coms ... nearly 3 times my amt ... sigh .. I earned all in all $140 of commission after spending 40 hrs in this fair. SO i am feeling very sad .. abit cheated ... =( WHAT CAN I DO !!!???! My customers who i talk my lungs out assured me they'll be back TODAY ... on sunday ... budden ... it turns our otherwise ... Well now i am feelin quite better 'cos ah hui told me there was another guy complaining that they had no commission for the whole fair ... so i guess there is always some1 unluckier than us .. and we shld appreaciate what we are given or blessed with.
