2007

Genesis; 2007 started with a very sticky and extremely uncomfortable situation; countdown at Gurney with white foam sprays with the youths. NOT fun. That was when I vowed to never go to a public countdown again, albeit I DID go for the Christmas countdown a few days ago. That was a mistake, in many ways.

School; My class, 4A was undoubtedly THE best class ever. It was an experience, the whole schooling year, with all these witty girls who have a wicked sense of humour; namely ShuMei, Sarah R., Sarah S., Afi, Patrick, Muz and Sam. Never a dull moment, really. These people are insane, and I'm proud to say that they make me go high all the freaking time. Haha :P

Showbiz; 2007 is also definitely the year which I'm most involved in dancing, cheerleading and performances. Having performed this year in more than 30 dances and big events, being on the newspaper more than like 20 times, it has definitely been an eye opener for me in the entertainment world. Also, first time being on TV; first time having my very own music video. Ahem, big shot this year :P Haha joke.

Contributions; I could've been more generous this year, in terms of time, effort and cash. Of course, I donated to several organizations that I truly believe in, and want to make a change in. I had fun most during the Interact Children Camp, where we took time to plan TWO full days out for the orphans from different homes. I insanely adore kids, and truly find it difficult to say no to them, especially when they stare at you with those longing big eyes and pout. Ahhhh. Lol :P I would do anything for these kids, really.

Love; Lmao. That's not something that happened this year. Although I did (still do) feel the love and grace of God amazingly & most abundantly. Nothing serious this year, although there were a lot of drama. Yes, a lot wouldn't even come close, to say the least. Aha. So that's that.

Family; I've definitely became and drew closer to my family, especially my mom. Some people are at constant logger heads with their moms, and seriously I don't get it. I can't imagine how one survives without talking to their mom. My family is just about the greatest thing that's ever happened to me -smiles sheepishly- Haha. Every hug and kiss and form of affection I receive from my parents. (Eww, I don't kiss my sisters man. That's just.. not right. :|) Of course they are pretty damn demanding and tyrannic as well, no doubt! But still; family's family =]

This year also marks the leaving of my 2nd eldest sister, XiaoWen, to Auckland for Engineering. She's just such a ball of brain, truly. Oh how I cried my eyes out at her departure in the airport. Hahh. Well here she is back in Malaysia for summer break and going back tomorrow! :O

Pictures earlier this year;

Okay, enough reminiscing about 07,
time to move on, baby! :P

Let's toast to 2008! :D

Penang Turf Club Annual Dinner.

Family portrait

Candid. Bhahaha.

It was an event attended by upper class people of Penang and other parts of the world. Everyone looked extremely well dressed, and as Mom would say, "Dress to kill". I hope it's a metaphor :P
Met Mei's parents, Gen's parents, and many of Dad's friends.
The most eye catching thing (well, to me at least) was the Lucky Draw. Oh goodness, the items sponsored by all these high society people are insane. Seeing as pictures says a thousand words, have fun OMG-ing :P

There were five cars to be won as well. Lol.
Okay, maybe it's ordinary for some of you readers, but I was really appalled and stunned! Haha really! Just imagine what good the amount of cash spent on this event would do for charities. Pshh. Not that I'll be complaining if I would have gotten the grand prize of the lucky draw that night; RM100,000. I KNOW. WHAT. THE. HELL. But apparently it wasn't an eyebrow raiser to others, seeing as a seat that night costed RM250. Seriously, I don't know what was I doing there. Lol.

Later on during the night, there were a few performances. And one of the performances typed on the programme, said The Ultimate Kylie Minogue Show. I was wondering what could this be. A videoclip? (Which would be [VERY] lame) The REAL Kylie? (I didn't even think that this thought was preposterous, seeing how these people are insane. Silly me)
Turns out to be..

AN IMPOSTOR :O

Haha. Kylie Minogue wannabe.
The weirdest thing was that she ACTED like she was Kylie!
"Okay, the next song was writt'n for me a few yearhhs back. Some of you might remembahh it"
She had this really strange Southern accent, which was funny, seeing as Kylie is Australian. -.-'

After having a few laughs about 'Kylie Minogue', I went to the toilet with XiaoWen. Guess who I bumped into? TANIA! =) She was waiting outside my cubicle, and I was really surprised to see her! A small world, really. Heard from her that Joel and TerMin would be coming, to pass her her Christmas present (which I helped to choose :P). Seeing as I had nothing to do besides eat, NiWen and I joined her to the lobby; where we met up with the dudes.

Talked for some time, and we went back inside.
Oh yeah, we won something from the Lucky Draw.

Some gold bracelet worth RM920 =| It's not pretty. Lol. We were the 233rd winner. Not very lucky. Tania's dad got the laptop! 66th winner. Grrr. Haha. No fair! :P
Other people from our table were luckier. This woman* got some heart shaped diamond necklace worth almost RM5000 =|
And Uncle ~* got a Longines watch worth like RM12,000.
Uncle X* from our table got the grand prize; RM100,000! Not like he needs it anyway, he's like this high&mighty billionaire. Pshh.
*Name removed for privacy sake :P

So yes, that was basically the night.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, READERS :)

This year's Christmas is definitely different than last year's Christmas celebration.
And definitely better.
This year was extremely hectic. Starting from 12am, till well, 12am. Yep.
Was spending the night at Joel's, and we didn't know what to do to celebrate the first few seconds of the much anticipated Christmas Day. We were at Joel's after one bloody hectic day of last minute shopping; and due to that, we were pretty much broke. We spent a bomb on 60 presents in total. It was not just a hole in my bloody pocket, it practically bombed my entire self. :|

So we were starting to gift wrap the presents (we didn't send it to a shop, as Joel was confident we could wrap it ourselves. righttttt.) in an EXTREMELY unorganized way. Haha :P To add to the enormous bulk of pressure we had about the thought of not finishing the presents in time, YitHaang came over.

YitHaang and his bloody antics. Lol.

And he was the most distracting thing ever; fooling around and making us laugh our asses off. We had a couple of plans that night, but after Tania called, we decided to go to Gurney for the countdown. I had a horrifying experience of countdowns in Gurney last year, and it wasn't a pretty sight. I hated snow sprays.

But anyways, we went to pick Tania up, parked at her place, and walked to Gurney, considering the very short distance of the both locations. We reached there, and obviously we got sprayed. Lucky for me, YitHaang was beside me the entire time and pushes me down everytime he sees someone targeting me from behind. Yeah, LUCKY. -.- I was screaming my lungs out the entire time. NOT fun.
I still had AWFUL gasps of nothing but aerosol down my throat and nasal cavities. It was utterly horrendous, and I never want to spend another countdown at Gurney ever again. I am serious. Well, I said that last year, but wtheck.

Anyway, we were so drenched and sticky with the spray that we went to Secret Recipe for shelter. Met and bumped into a number of people there, namely YiMei and gang, MingYu, LeeYip, and some others whom I forgot for the time being. Went into SR, and ordered 3 bottles of plain water since none of us had any cash on us. Lol. The bill turned out to be slightly less than 10 bx. -.- What a rip off, really.

RIP OFF! :(

But we managed to pay it off anyway, so yes. Went out of SR again into the world of uncivilized people, and went back to Tania's place to wash and clean up. Got some pretty amazing night shots at her place, while everyone's emo-ing around and not talking. =|

I actually do think it's amazing, so shut up :P

I love this shot.

This weirdo. Bah :P

Went back to Joel's, and took a long shower. Tried wrapping the presents, but it looked so never-ending, I did it halfheartedly.
I called SK, and he came over. We walked around and talked, and yeah. I shall skip this part, but it was amazing. =) Well, he is. Lol. How flattering ey.
Before I know it, it was 6am. LOL. How time flies. So I went back into the house, and watched Joel and Niwen wrapping the presents. At 7am-ish, they felt sleepy and went to sleep. Felt guilty that they were wrapping the presents while I was talking outside, so I made the cards. Haha. Woke Joel up to wrap NiWen's secret present. Lol. We did the stupidest things. Wrapped with newspaper, and stuck bits of rubbish, receipts, leftover crepe paper, and everything you can think of. We were laughing quietly, afraid that we might wake NiWen up. It was really fun, to say the least.

The mad present-wrapping experience.

Went to sleep at 7.30am, expecting to wake up at 9-ish. By the time we woke up, Termin and Moy were all dressed, knocking on our bedroom door! We were LATE to the extreme. Was screaming, writing and labeling every present, and trying to multitask (and sadly failed). Forgot that I had a dance performance that morning before service! By the time we reached there, we were late and had to skip the performance. Pragas wasn't very happy about that.
Oh well. We were on time for the service though. After that, we exchanged presents and went to Queens for lunch.

Sam dropped us at Joel's, and opened presents with TerMin, Moy, Joel and NiWen =) Just like last year!

The best thing is that I got YET another item on my wishlist! :D

Persuasion - Jane Austen

♥
Thanks, SK :)

The presents were amazing, people. Thanks a bunch! =]
Oh well. Anyway, we stayed until quite late, and Joel's family was gonna have a family reunion dinner, so TerMin, Moy and I were like errr.. Lol. But his mom insisted, so we stayed.

Turkey.

TerMin waiting in anticipation for the turkey :P

His face AFTER consuming the turkey x]

After dinner, we went back to Joel's room and chatted and lmao. Was bored, decided to go to the pool area.

Was bored again, so went back to Joel's place and packed our stuff, and TerMin dropped us home. Didn't realize how tired I was until I slept in the car the entire journey.
Yep. That was my Christmas.
A lot of drama not inserted here.
So yes, I do realize that it's a few days AFTER Christmas already, but yeah. Better late than never. Was just so terribly busy! Ahhh!

CAROLING :D

Went caroling yesterday and today. It's such a joyous event, truly.

DAY 1
Firstly, we went to Tesco Extra, where the crowd didn't exactly sing together with us. But that's okay, we got to spread some Yultide cheer for the holiday season. And give out some tiny gifts as well =)
Then seeing as it was raining heavily, we couldn't do it in Gurney Drive as planned. So we joined Kenny's group in Gurney Plaza. This time, it was louder and a crowd gathered around us. We were caroling outside Toy'r'us, you see. So all the last minute Christmas shoppers got to enjoy a seasoning of our celebration of Christmas as well!
Then we headed to GSC; by the ticket booth. It was fun, really =)

After GSC, we went to the main entrance; by the Christmas tree. Whoah. The crowd was amazing, and they sang along. :D

Lmao.
-coughDarrencough- :P :P

I like this candid of my sister.
I think it's stunning :)

In the midst of caroling :| Lol.

Walked around GP like that.
Needless to say, we received glares.

She's adorable to the maxxx. An England fan as well! Red devil. Haha :D

Model wannabes. HAH :P

Another shot.

Nicky joined in as well. Lol.

GAHHHH. 3 inches :'(

DAY 2

Christmas shopping with Sam, Joel and NiWen at Queens.
Everyone was so undecisive, it took ages to decide what to buy. Grrr. Lol.
We had 60 people on our list. HAHA. We're not even done with HALF of it, but we're getting along fine. Uhm, I hope =|
Went everywhere to hunt for items the people on our list might want. Haha.
Bought several things, a bit pricey, but it's okay since we're splitting it =)
Finally went to Starbucks and sat down, and did rubbish. Lol. Tried to personalize Christmas ornaments, but uhm. I think we failed. Sadly :(
& we took so much crappy pictures of random objects. Seriously, I think we were all bored out of our minds.

LOL he's such a poser ;P

Failed ornament. LOL.

Here come's the rubbish pictures.
Joel's doodles. Tsk tsk :P

We made so many, and we didn't know where to put them.
Innovative people x)

Godwin.
I don't think you'll read this, so I won't ruin your present, would i? :P

Uhm. Random shot of my bangle by NiWen.
She was bored :|

Candid by NiWen.

At last, we had to rush back;
so sadly we had to keep them.
LOL. Bad planning :P
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted :P

Sam fetched us back to church at 5:30pm, so we could get ready for caroling. Met up with all the carolers there, had prayer session, and off we went! =)
Went to Tesco Extra, and Gurney again.
By the time EiLeen got a parking space in front of GP, it was quite late, and the rest of the carolers started in MPH. We ran there and just joined in. ;)
Then we went to the main entrance and caroled again, and this time there were even more people than before. It was great, & I bet the joyful carols were enjoyed by the crowd. Aha ;)

Went for supper after that, and JingYi and Helena were teaching Samuel, TzeSeong, NiWen and I Korean; and laughing at us :| Koreans. Hmphh. Haha it was insanely fun though.
Apart from the fact that I was wearing 3-inches heels for about a total of 11 hours+. My feet still hurts.
EiLeen dropped us home, and I cleared my room. :O HAHA.
It's almost 4am. WTH. GAHHHH :(
Night.

Picture Of The Day

Cutest thing ever :D
