Friday, December 28, 2007
It has been one of the best holiday seasons so far even though it spans for only 2 weeks. Apart from the piles of reports that i have to get through and the looming SCHOOL'S REOPENING on 31 DEC, I'd have to admit that this Christmas has been a blast. Other than parties, dinners, yada yada, the
25th of december was great.
Spending time with a whole lot of SFers in Candice's house to thank the Lord for His work in us this past year as well as sharing some of our struggles and encouraging each other to grow and strengthen ourselves in the Lord, well it was 1 amazing night. Christmas carols and the favourite song of the retreat committee
Give Me One Pure and Holy Passion were sung, games played; kudos to Eunice who taught them.
Oh yes and the Christmas Bench as well. Though i didnt manage to catch the whole programme but i must say, the drama was extremely well done. Compared to the past rehearsals...haha its improved a hundred times over. Dinner wasnt too bad either though what i had on my plate wasnt exactly satisfying. The rements of turkey, ham and...well nothing more. Heading down to Orchard to catch the lights was cool. Pretty lights and deco and the whole outing group was fantabulous as well. The guys were all high on ham and turkey and they could not stop singing christmas carols all thru the town(pun intended).
Stayover at Gracia's. I didnt realise that time passes so fast when you're coped up in a small room talking to your girlfriend and its 3 am when the last time you checked it was only 12 30am. After 4 packets of Korean instant noodles, 2 1/2 pizzas where 1 pizza turned into a blackened piece of nothingness and potato chips, everyone felt the tiredness of- washing the void deck floors bare footed, putting up deco, serving food and walking and walking and taking photos throughout the night. The guys crashed in the living room, like a mess of rubbish piled high in the dump. Smelly creatures some of them...tsk. The girls, all smelling nice and clean resided in a cosy room above the snoring pile. On mattresses and in the company of the humming aircon.
I must say, deciding on lunch the next day was the most difficult decision ive made in my entire life. Only after visiting each and every food outlet did we decide on the ultimate-McDonalds. Laugh all you want, but Mc's is such a blessing in disguise. :)
Right. So back to reality now. Bhutto is dead, the tsunami anniversary is over and marketing report is a knock knock knocking on my door. Apart from the good news that i do not have to carry my canoe over sand for a 120m and run with it in the 27th jan marathon, nothing else seems bright. Im not being a wet blanket, just thinking about whats up for me for the next month. or should i say New Year?
The shops are making full use of the festive season to make us splurge on worthless items.
SALES. such a beautiful word, yet why is it a nightmare?
