Christmas

My favourite time of the year: CHRISTMAS!

I went for a Christmas gathering with my JC gang. It's been sometime I've met some of them. Sorry for all my absence! Anyway, all of us (but 1 who went UK to study) were there. It was so cosy eating around the table. Really felt the love and warmth of Christmas from these very dear friends.
I left early, so didn't have many pictures...

Xiefiee, me & Lyd.
Accountant, Psychologist, Dentist






Xiefen made spring rolls. They tasted great! Last Christmas she made almond jelly with longan which was awesome too. Hmms... but this picture doesn't do justice to the spring roll =(


The salad that lyd and kasster made - which cause our dinner to start late. Haha. But with all honesty, it's one of the best salads I've eaten. Good things are worth the wait!

City Harvest is the best place to spend Christmas. I'm bias but I believe it's true for 51,000 people that came. Full of joy (from the drama), peace (from the candlelights) and hope (from the preaching)... elements of the Christmas Spirit.





Joyce, thanks for coming. It's great to spend xmas eve with you. So glad that we've been gr8 frens for 10years and counting... Love you always!


Bestie!


Charis (Beautiful name, it means grace) & Cindy (Sisters! They look quite alike) and Shihui.


My Dad joined my siblings & I this Christmas. We went to the Christmas fiesta where there were numerous stalls selling clothes at very low prices! Bought a Christmas gift for a friend there and a top for myself - Christmas present for myself. Hees. My sister and I tried to make our dad buy stuff for us but failed! Haha.



It was snowing at Expo... But only on Kit =D

Of course Christmas is about giving... But everyone wants to receive presents. And I have many awesome gifts from many special friends:


I absolutely love this necklace. It's a lollipop, NOT a microphone! It's cute, yet cool because of it's glitter! I'm into blink blink and shiny clothes and accessories.
Rina, thank you so much! I'm so touched by your love.


Cherry necklace. It's sweet! I plan to wear it to school. Thanks Des!


G - keychain




Angel Cookie! So beautiful and sweet...can't bear to eat it. Thanks Bestie!


I organized a Christmas gift exchange among my family members. Got everybody to write down 3 things they hope to receive on a piece of paper. Then we draw lots to see who are we giving to. Everyone was so happy to receive a gift that they want. Aunty Doris, thanks for the gift!


Another Christmas gift exchange. Got 2 tops...so in time because school is starting! New clothes for new semester. Thanks to my angel Mingyao and Marlin who help choose it!

Jessica

On the 17th Dec, my NUS psy friends celebrated Jes 21st bday. It's the first time we hang outside of school and spend a wonderful day together. First time we're not together in lecture halls or canteen. Haha. And we're planning to have a bowling seesion before school starts. I really had a great time and enjoyed myself. Most importantly, the star of the day is Jes. So glad she had fun too... This is a very late post. But Happy 21st Birthday Jes!



K-BOX at Cineleisure




K-Box Session: My first time at K-box. Felt a lil' awkward at first cause I don't listen to music so I don't know how to sing the songs. But after awhile, I found some familiar song and have a great time singing. We ended the k-box session singing "Peng You" =) When a man finds a friend, he finds treasure!

After that we went to take neo-prints...haha! 20plus yr olds taking neo-prints. Hees. Being youthful again. Haven't done that for almost 3years. But it's fun and we all look gr8. Yuhui, email us the pictures!

Next is the hippo tour opposite Heeren. Toured Orchard Road on a roofless double deck bus. The wind was strong and cold. It really relaxing. Pictures are in Cheryl's camera. EMAIL THE PICS TO ME!!!

Then we had dinner at Thai Express... I really like the food at Thai Express. But I think the outlet at PS is not as good as the one at Katong.




Jiamin & Me. Jiamin looks very pretty in this picture ~ photogenic


Phadre & Jes


21 donuts for a bday cake. Special huh~ Oh! And the bday gift is a personalized shirt designed by Jiamin & Huiqi. It's cute and sweet.




May all your wishes come true!

Live the dream

These are things that could stiffle you from doing great things...

1) Criticisms of others
2) Fear
3) Broken relationships
4) Financial poverty
5) A backward mindset
6) No faith, hope and love!

How then?

1) Recall previous successes... You've done it once, you can do it again! People say it's impossible, it can't be done! But adiddas says, Impossible is nothing. Know there will always be people criticizing whatever you do... so Just do it! Nike is right after all. Well, of course, there will be those darlings who will always appreciate your dreams!

2) Start having confidence. Focus on the possibilities. What you focus on will prosper (by my dad!)

3) Resotre relationships that are important.. or else just move on and be wise in who you make friends with. Hang around dream destroyers, you'll lose your dream. Hang around dream builders, you'll find yourself closer to your dream.

4) Start giving and be generous... Plant an apple seed, reap an apple tree. Plant your money, reap a money tree =D

5) Get some knowlegde that will help you achieve your dreams.

6) Find unconditional love, mountain moving faith and hope. There's only one way... And I've found Him. My life was never the same again =) Thank you Jesus.

Little things that got me excited...

i LOVE this pair of heels from ZARA! It's so cooool... Man! It's in my Christmas wish list! Santa, I've been good this year...give me this pair of heels! =D


Me-to-you bear. I still rmb there is a secondary school craze to give and receive this bear as a gift. I have 2 small ones at home. This is the bear I like best. But then again, I don't like soft toys. Nice to look, not nice to keep.

Of course, a baby is many times over cuter...


Rina & Ivan's little boy - Asher! He's so adorable. And his name is so cool and sounds like a hot guy's name. Hehe. Asher means happy! Great name, just like the name Gloria =)


I like digital speedometers...think it just look cool. Got my friend to drive at 7km/h so that I can capture this shot. Woohoo...


That's me by me! Haha. I was bored studying. So i stood infront of my mirror and tried to draw my portriat. Hmmzx... mmm... got potential. Hahaha

Couzs

At my cousin's wedding...

Food?

Baked rice from Engine canteen


Famous Indo food from Engine too!


Hall dinner... not very appetizing. But it's overly negatively rated. Food can be not bad too.


Hee! Just a new way of holding a spoon. It's quite easy and you really can eat with the chopstick holding the spoon. Ok...I'm abit boliao.

The most exciting, heart-throbbing time of the year is here! End-of-sem exams! Woohoo... Tonight is the 1st friday night I'm staying over in hall. And I didn't even realize that until one of the D3 girl (can't rmb her name, sorry!) was surprised to see me just a few moments ago and i couldn't understand her surprise at first. Well, Saturday is here even before I knew it. I've not left school the entire week, except twice - last night i went to NTU to send bday wishes to Yueze and this morning when I had breakfast with my dad.
I don't like to have exams at this time of the year. It's so near X'mas! I should be preparing for christmas instead. Oh well, exams will be over before I know it. Feeling the pressure and heat of exams, especially when time is not on your side... I'm hard-pressed but crushed!
I've lotsa pictures in my hp to upload but that's for a much a later time. And I wanna do up a facebook! Ppl say it's fun and a good way to hook up with friends. But for now, I'm gonna finish up my final revision for psy stats. Woohoo...

Lydia!

It's quite a number of days since i last posted something. Well, exams are coming and time is tight. Besides, I can only post pictures when I'm home (which is hardly) =D Yes... I need to spend more time with my family. Even my siblings are complaining now. Sorry Wongers! Give me 3 more weeks...

Here are some pictures that are taken when my HC clique went to celebrate Lydia's birthday on Nov 2nd (1 day b4 her actual bday)... Happy Birthday Girl! You're really special and a gift from heaven.



This is just half of my HC gang. The rest couldn't make it. Actually, most of the time I didn't make it to our gatherings. Very sorry guys! pls pardon my absence...


We went to eat at a restaurant at Novena Square - "Bungalow". I think it sells Italian or issit Spanish food?!


This is escargot in garlic herb butter. It is very delicious! Unforgettable taste... the tenderness of the escargot, mixed with cheese and olive oil and served with fresh, tasty, toasted french loaf! Man, heaven on earth!


Kass & Lyd just enjoying the escargots.






Alwyn & Filbert - High Flyers of the gang. Congrats on ORDing!


Welcome to the 20club!


Lyd's a very special friend to me.


May you have the desires of your heart. Have the most fruitful and blessed year yet!


This is desert! We want to an ice cream shop (can't rmb the name). Every of your ice cream flavour is mixed with an ingredient of your choice. For example, we added gummy bears to choc ice cream. Bad choice! The bears became rock hard. There are many ingredients you can add, like M&NMs, orea, orange peel, mashmallow... It's a fun and different way to eat ice cream. Kinda like Ben and Jerry's ice cream with its chunks. Just that now you can choose the ingredients you wanna add and of course, the ice cream aint as rich as B&J's.



Look at his tannline!!! The result of constant outdoor cycling... woohoo...
