cash trims

Merry Christmas everyone!

It's post-Christmas today and the festive mood that took one month to build is dying away. Cause it's a mood. The reason still remains, irregardless.

It's been an explosive weekend!
-------

Friday:

Ta Yi brought bro and me out and cousin Ling Yong to shop for Lego. Haha. Didn't plan to buy as never play with Lego for so long it's like very childhood lor. But I bought one that I liked in the end. Actually 2 sets. Won't say what it is as it's limit was 14 years old. Haha. She's generous to us, that Ta Yi we have. Which is one of the many blessings. Thank you Ta Yi!

Then I went to Ling Yong's house (opposite school) to fix the Lego while Ben joined the rest of my family at Parkway as Ben and Joy had to do spectacles stuff. Didn't get to finish one set even cause soon we had to go to Ama's church (Church of Singapore) to watch her Christmas event they organised worship and message in Hokkien so very hard to follow. During worship just read the screen to know the meanings. Though I recognised some of the songs. There was a magic show in English. Quite impressive and funny lah. But it's hard to be involved in such services more meant for the older people. But glad to see that Ama was so involved in worship even when she didn't know the words and stuff cause she's illiterate. That means she can't read the Bible or the screen for the lyrics. But still she enjoys a relationship with God. Her illiteracy's not a barrier thanks be to God.

Saturday:

Dad brought us to Campus Crusade for Christ Media Ministry. Basically a bookshop. Bought two CDs so got more CCM to listen to! Though no Planetshakers argh so funny don't have Planetshakers. Everyone else got their own stuff too.

Then after that went to eat Heng Hua noodle at the hawker centre near Farrer Park MRT Station. Then went of to Funan where Joy was looking for The Sims expansions. I got iPod Nano plastic covers which were a hassle to put on but now is generally okay lah. Joy got her expansions though it came with the original which we already had but it was ultra cheap so good. And now got new stuff to play on The Sims so fun but holiday is nearing its end. Dunno what happened to wanting to play Warcraft III with Timothy haha.

Sunday (Christmas Eve):

Christmas Eve service in the morning. Church was so packed that in the end we had to sit at the haven there cause waiting for "later" friends. Everyone was so happy that's one of the reason's why it's fun to hang around church and church people!

After that went to Jabezzy's house! Haha. He was alone at first. His sis came home and his bro soon after. Ben wanted to come along ended up playing Kingdom Hearts 2 on Bezzy's PS2 for the whole afternoon. Tried out his Rhythm Traveller drums haha now I know why it's so cheap. But Bezzy is still pro drummer okay keep on emulating Travis Barker in his Blink 182 songs. Just chatted most of the time. His dad and mum came back much later and was very hospitable. And the "Jonk" on my camp T-shirt is from his church. It's a nickname, apparently. Near the end he showed me some guy called JoJo Mayer his video got some double bass and triple bass pedalling with only one pedal and another one with him just playing drums very pro. Bezzy it's been nice catching up!

Monday (Christmas):

Christmas Day! Christmas service in the morning. Everyone was wearing so formal and I felt so out of place cause I don't have those Zara or Topman stuff. Only T-shirts. So boring right? What to do. Determined not to sit at the Haven, we went to the chapel. Service as usual everyone was as happy and giving cards and presents.

Then family went off to Junction 8 for lunch before going to Ama's (father's side this time) house. He surprised us by bringing us to Din Tai Fung weee xiaolongbaos! So long never eat at DTF already!

After that went to Ama's house but she was sleeping so ended up falling asleep myself on the sofa cause I was so tired. Barely got to be with Ama when she got up as I was sleeping. And her memory is failing her as she's getting old. Hope she remains fine.

Tuesday:

Today went to Ikea in the morning all the way till late afternoon. Breakfast was rather nice. Then when to look at shelves cause we wanted to get shelves so that we can make our rooms tidier and prepare for new stuff in JC and other reasons. Time passed quickly and soon it was lunch. Ultra-crowded man! I very much enjoyed the fish and chips that they were selling and the chicken wings. Didn't enjoy the Swedish meatballs as much this time. But we had a great time out and got new shelves and stuff. The shelves are arriving on Thurday cause we had to get delivery as they were too tall for our car.

-------

This has been the most fulfilling holiday so far. Mostly because of the China trip and the church camp. But it's been a fun time with all of you! Strangely I've only watched one movie during this holiday. Though perhaps I'll be watching Charlotte's Web with my P6geper friends this Thursday (revisiting our past education haha). And a stayover at Junen's house is confirmed! Hurrah! Tomorrow must go JC and do some stuff. Haha.

Have a Happy Rest of the Year everyone!
