Oh I'm finally back home! Its been a hell long Christmas, so i've have to slowly write down all the details!

24th Dec 2004

12pm
At work at Etc. Had a very small celebration with all the people at work (Eddy, Amanda, Phyllis, Janice, Bobby, Micheal, Sharon etc.) Had a small piece of cake (those kind with sugar icing).. Its very nice and sweet. I love the raisins in the cake. They also ordered pizza. Very heart warming, though i've only been working there for a very short period of time.

5pm
Sally and Justin came to pick me from work.. We went shopping around Suntec and Raffles city for Yanwen's bday present. Couldn't find the purple Nike bag that she wanted so we ended up reserving a purple Levi's jacket at Great World for her.

Saw a black top at Esprit which i liked. Its off shoulder.. casual but kinda sexy. Very suitable for clubbing! But i think its really very ex cause its $69.90. I think Esprit is over rated in Singapore. Sometimes their prices are so high but the cutting and quality is not that great. *shrug* I wun pay that amount for that kind of quality.

6++pm
Met Yanwen at Suntec. Finally we are on our way to Sally's fren party.

7pm
Arrived at Sally's fren place at Gentle Drive. Don't know anyone there so felt quite strange. Apparently they are all from the same cell group.

*tIng flops onto the floor*

Seriously, i felt abit cheated. I didn't want to spend Christmas listening to Christians preachings. *sighs* Couldn't be rude so we (Yanwen & me) had to endure the next 3 hours listening to them talk. It was fun initially. We had some food and they played pictionary and some ice-breaker games. But when they started singing Christmas songs, Yanwen gave me THE LOOK. I couldn't say much cause i don't want to be rude. But also, i'm open-minded about such things. As long as i feel that they respect me and my religion, i'm fine. I jus don't like it when they get too aggressive. *shrugs*

10++pm
Finally left the place... *phews & hurrays!* Justin sent Yanwen home before he sent us to Sentosa. Sally's frens are all at Sentosa campsite already so we tried to rush there before midnight for the gift exchange. I din really bought anything for the gift exchange. But I gave away the bear soap that Phyllis gave me for Christmas. Its not that I’m stingy or wat. But I jus don’t have the money to buy so many presents. Anyway, I also don’t use bar soap. =P


11.30pm
Reached the campsite. Met Sally’s frens (Jaclyn, Ang Sun and Da-ge). I’ve never seen them before so its kinda weird to join them for Christmas. We took a quick shower and went back to the tent at 12.02am. 2 minutes late! Nevertheless, we sat down outside the tent and exchanged presents. I got a small photo album that has Forever Friends on the cover. Its really nice! *hmm..* Strangely, I’m reminded of Jon’s gf (who loves Forever Friends). Not a very comforting thought though.

I have nothing against Forever Friends. *tIng holds her both hands up* I mean, I think its cute and stuff. But I kinda outgrown in when I was in Primary 6. *tIng shrugs* I guess I’m not really a girly girl.

But I really like Pooh bear though. I think I’m somehow like Pooh. Fat and abit blur at times. But we always look on the bright side of the problems we have. Its more of how I relate to Pooh rather than just liking it because its cute. You get what I mean?

12.30pm
Started to crap around with the rest of the gang.. Really tired but we had fun cooking chucky potato soup in the mess tin. *tIng laughs* Long time never use mess tin liao.. reminds me of all the things we used to do during camps and all the “food” we cooked with it. It’s a miracle that we are still ALIVE!

2am
Shagged out… Fell aslp in the tent even though it was quite uncomfortable.

25th Dec 2004 (Morning)

7.30am!!!! Argh.. So early! *yawnz* Sun is big and bright! Perfect way to start Christmas! *grinz* Washed up, changed to my bikini and cooked spaghetti, baked beans and luncheon meat for breakfast.

After breakfast, we packed the tent and returned it to the office. Headed down to the beach! I’m so excited! The sun’s perfect for a day at the beach! Absolutely PERFECT! Sun tanned and played volleyball… got bruises on my hand to prove what a GOOD player I am! Haha.. I love how the sun feels on my skin!

Got to know new friends at the beach (Kim, Tingting and Darren). They wanted to join us when they saw Jaclyn and me playing volleyball. Quite nice people.. Found out that they are graduates from SP as well. Wah.. Its amazing how small this world is.

2.30pm
Time to go home lor!! My skin’s red from tanning! I don’t wanna leave but Sally and friends had to go off cause they had other progs. I WILL BE BACK!

Had lunch at the market near the bus terminal. Went to buy Yanwen’s present at Great World. I was waiting for bus at the bus stop outside HMV. All of a sudden, this blue car out of nowhere started to honk. These guys in the car waved and shouted some things. I din really catch what they said and neither did I see who they are (I’m blind without my glasses!) Anyway, maybe they are shouting for someone else at the bus stop even though nobody bothered about them.

*tIng laughs and shakes her head*

We share the world with strange people.

4pm
Reached home.. but the sun’s too good to miss so I went to the pool for a dip. Soaked ard for an hour.. Too crowded with kids.. So I came home and took a nice long shower! I took a nap but ended up sleeping all the way till 11pm!

Gosh.. This means that I’ll be staring wide-eyed at my ceiling all nite! @-@
