Christmas pressie

Musical waterglobe with self-swirling snowflakes!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!! christmas is NOT the birthday of santa clauses, u fools!!!! nor reindeers!!! who cares wat color their noses are or whether they get discriminated for having red noses... It's not about sturdy christmas fir trees or festive carols. It's about LOVE! about a gift.. from God, and that gift, JESUS CHRIST... Christmas -- "With Christ, Man Are Saved"
There's a time for everything... and in this season, on this day, it's the perfect time to share the Love of God! wahahaha... Almost 2000 years ago, God gave his one and only son, Jesus to come on earth. He was crucified so as to deliver us from our sins...okie, i shall stop preaching ;p
Leave u with this http://www.new-life.net/chrtms19.htm

KungFu Hustle was funny, but absurd..well, tat's what makes it comical, haha.. i especially liked the part where stephen chow tried to throw daggers at this fat landlady and in the end, all ended up in his flesh, heh heh... (for award-winning photo of Stephen, see Dec21's post, hiakhiak...)

After the movie, the 10 of us went Zion food centre for some desserts before proceeding to Zouk. And guess what, we can't go in cos I didn't bring my ID along. YES Yes yes, it's my FIRST time.. (special permission somemore to break my MNcurfew) believe it or not. Anyway no queue was in sight albeit being Christmas eve! Perhaps it was due to the overpriced charge of $38 pax...and the unpopular DJ tat night.. We went Mdm Wong instead. Xiangying lent me her ID as a form of verification, but the authorities didnt even bother to check..
it was so noisy.. and YUKS..the stench of cigarette smoke.. well, i should have known, but i went just to experience something i haven for 23 years of my life. Two big men, instead of girls in skimpy clothes *mind u, were on the platform dancing in the most horrible way u could imagine. swaying and dancing with the music very 'shiok' mehH? haha, and you get odd-looking men coming to ask for your number. I just tell them IM NOT LEAST INTERESTED, THANK U..
Disco wasn't that great afterall... *bleah

I plopped onto bed after i cleared the junk (make-up) on my face the minute i reached home @ 3am. Didn't even bother to bathe even thou my hair reeked of the smoke...cos i was just too too sleepy..zzz

A man walks into a library and proceeds to the desk and says, "I'd like to have a beer and a bag of chips."
The librarian looks at him and says, "Sir, this is a library."
"Oh right. " the man says sheepishly. "Sorry," and he whispers politely, "I'd like to have a beer and a bag of chips, please."

Did that joke make you laugh? If not, you must be feeling way too uptight or have simply lost the instinct to laugh oddly without guilt. Read an article about 'Laughter-Clubs' flowering in the midst of glommy economies and high stress. 'Laughter is the best medicine'.. how true is that! a cancer-striken patient actually laughed his way through 20 more years of life! More people are finding themselves not laughing enough and are joining these clubs.

Personally find it rather stupid to pay someone else so that you can laugh..not as if that person is gonna put up a side-splitting performance for you or act stupid like a clown to entertain your too grave soul... No witty puns or slapsticks, people gather together to laugh like mad cows for no particular reason.. yes, for NO reason.

Actually, i find people who cannot laugh very pitiful. All you need to do is to find humor in every and any circumstance..be it good or bad.. and it will make your problem look really really small, trust me.

Anyway, that article i read while waiting for the queue number to be called at the polyclicnic with grandma. She went for her regular health-check up. We were seated in the pharmacy beside this Teochew ahma who didnt know how to look at her queue-number..well, being the only literate one within her one-metre range, i smiled at her politely and said in mandarin, "Ahma, later i help you see hor.." She was so happy, smiling gratefully at me, she asked pointing to my grandma, "Your PoPO arh?" i nodded.
The ahma stretched forward to look at grandma and said, "Wah..your granddaughter so guai ah?"
They started their dialogue..yes, it is a dilogue.. *note i'm not talking.. damn my poor teochew*

"Ya lor, my granddaughter."

"Aiyoh, my grandchildren dun have so guai one.. Everytime sleep only. Very guai hor she... ."(pats my shoulder) "How old is she?"

"23 liao lah.. she is a TEACHER (that word is particularly louder)"

"WAH, teacher ah? so 'kiang' ah? (people turn around and looked at me. i squrimed down my seat..*oh god, please stop them...)

God answered my prayer. i shot up the seat immediately when my grandma's queue number was called and we proceeded to take grandma's pills. Just then, dear called me on my handphone. What a timing... read on..

"hello dear ah.."
"aey, tomorrow watching KungFu with weiguang they all leh..730pm great world."
"these are your pills, ahpo! everyday take one in the morning"
"okay, so after that where are we going?"
"Aey, are these Vitamin B12 pills? these yellow colour ones."
"most probably zouk. Not confirmed yet leh.."
"Erm, wait ah...excus' me mdm, are these VitB pills?"
"What to wear tomolo?"
"Yes, they are.."
"Up to you. But make up must be nice la...Smoky eyes are in wor...make dark dark.. wah, sexy leh.."
"I only got brown eyeliner leh..how to make??? i dunno!!"
"Then these green ones are the Cholesterol pills?"
"Yes, (looking at the labelling) they are."
"aiyah, later i go orchard and see wat they have...aey, i am so confused now call u back..."

that was it...Hey! I CAN ACTUALLY MULTI-TASK, HAHA..talking to 3 people at the same time, heh....
i gotta go and grab a short nap now...before i go for countdown tonight hehe... B)
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!!

Yoo hoo... breezy morning.. and the birds are chriping gaily... wah lao... and i smell the horrible cigarette smoke from my neighbour.. trying to kill all in the vicinity early in the morning! Went NSC with dear yesterday for both of our appointments again.. it has been 3 months... met him at the busstop near his attachment workplace. From his bag, he passed me a small little calendar.. the traditional china-red red kind.. it looks outdated but i still cradled it happily in my hands, much to his amusement... present from him wor... hey it's quite rare that he would give something lor, so i treasured it 8)
We spent the time on the bus removing the post-it tags he bookmarked in his library books on our way to his school when he suddenly asked to check my teeth. When he got me to say "Ahhh....", he threw all the post-it tags into my mouth!!! AAGGRHHH...and he chuckled wickedly at my stupidity while i walloped him... HARD

Cineleisure was having the Movie Gala for Stephen Chow's Kung-Fu Hustle. Dear was so excited to meet his idol--- Stephen Chow.. so we stood at the barricades at where the stars would walk pass. First, it was Taufik and Sylvester. As usual, the latter was clad in a white long-sleeved shirt and black pants.. (the symbolic attire of an ah-beng) heh... posing for the cameras with his classic 'one side of cheek turned-up' smile... the fans were screaming and shaking the barricades at one time i was afraid they would give way...
at around 830, the King of Comedy and his entourage finally arrived! dear managed to snatch a snapshot of him. He even said "Hi" to us!!! wahahhaa... and the photo was so clear i believe his fans would pay loads to get it..hehe..

We left cine satisfied and walked over to Meridian Hotel where Cousin Kaya was selling Christmas lightsticks and stuff. dear was so shy he was reluctant to go at first but i 'forced' him there..dun ask me how, but i've got my own way *heh heh*... we bought 2 battery-operated stirrers that could emit light (nice!!!) and 5 lightsticks for only 10 bucks..haha... such a good bargain!! heh... thanks ah Kaya! So peeps, if u are free, do pay her a visit at the stall *hiak hiak...*

brother flew to HK this morning for a business trip..woke up at 530am just to see him off (only at the back gate lah), ain't I a good sister? hehe..
dad and mom flying back only on the 11th.. they must be having such a jolly-great time over at NZ..going for morning's country trail walks, having bbq buffer meals, visiting wine factories and staying over in the farms...so shiok huh... while I’m munching instant Udon noodles for lunch now… sigh..well, this weekend! THIS weekend would be our turn!! wahaha...going sunway lagoon with aunts and cousins
:D
the ultimate embarrassing moment ... went shopping yesterday with my all-time fave shopping buddy, esther... met Yvonne and her cute 'saccharine-pie' who were transiting to city hall when we reached dhoby ghaut. Had a hard time ridding the young one cos she just refuses to part from us, haha..in the end, esther and i had to rush into the other train going to orchard at the very last second... we ...didnt ...quite make it.. and so you could imagine what happened.. 2 frantic 'meats' being squashed together by the rapid closing doors..and they reopened immediately again.. wide-eyed horrified expressions greeted us in the train…we turned very, very red..and under our breath, we echoed in unanimity, "Yvonne 的女儿... "
took photo stickers again..yes, A..G..A..I..N.. guessed we were both addicted to the machine at FarEastPlaza.. the machine that could make ur skin look perfectly flawless from every other odd angle *Awww...* we came to the conclusion that we have not changed much over the past few months...am getting abit sick of taking photos already, hahaha...
met dear after that..he wanted to watch the movie Shutter...i actually watched it with my little friend aka student, Emily, a couple of weeks ago..hehe... the movie received much high-rated reviews that it only become more popular now.. it was full-house even on a Tue evening! darn! so we ended up in a HK 点心 house.. the chef was full of praises for his delicacies.. dear tried to uphold the conversation rather unsuccessfully with his less-than-average Cantonese.. dun wish upon me.. i guess i’m even worse at the language..haha… after the dinner, dear was telling me how his words were all ‘constipated’ at his throat.. yuck!! how disgusting the analogy! hahaha…
Finally got my guitar restrung… im just an amateur…. brought back memories as i played worship songs into the wee hours… after so many years… all sensitivity was gone… totally… i think God lost me… and i cried myself to sleep
Enjoying Life @ YaKun Kaya toast house

i'm so relieved the 'Habits of Mind' course has finally concluded... My mind has reached to a point of saturation. I’m gonna write down what I’ll learnt these 4 days.. cos I know information taught will soon fade away if I don’t make an effort to retain it. You can say that it’s a form of reflection :) “We never truly learn until we reflect”. I really love this quote!
The 12 Habits of Mind presented to us were heavy stuff… that can certainly jam your thinking. Argghhh…the thought of segregating all I’ve learnt is dreadful! The objective of the course is actually to introduce these good thinking habits to the teachers so that we can cultivate them in our kids… I see it more for my own benefit, hehe… especially the Habit of ‘Managing Impulsivity’ and ‘Flexibility in Thinking’.
:D
Dear met with a car accident on Tuesday. He and his schoolmate were posted to a design company for a month’s attachment. Both of them had not driven since they got their license… this was their first.. and they collided with another vehicle whilst changing lanes. Thank God no one was hurt.. but dear was badly traumatised after the whole incident. Met him yesterday and we ate our dinners in absolute silence. He was listless and clearly distracted… and I didn’t dare to speak. It hurt me to see him like that but I didn’t know how I could help.
