Christmas Carolling TMC

My, my, what a long and tiring day today… still, it was fun. ^^ There was a  last minute carolling venue at Tropicana Medical Centre today. Haha~ Seems that we rarely carol at these places. My friend said long ago we’ve only carolled once at a shopping mall and once at Victoria Station… that was loong ago~

Well, today was an interesting day. Woke up earlier in the morning (lately i’ve been waking up at 10am) and met up at church for some practice before we went to the hospital for carolling. Hmm… i wonder whether i should be calling it a hospital… well, i shall just call it hospital here. Okay, after some time warming up we went there and started carolling! Wow, the place really looked like a hotel! Well, what do you expect from a private medical centre. =P Okay first up, we carolled at the entrance. We were to carol four times at different places it seems. Haha, as we were carolling, we saw a slim Santa! XD Really funny~ Perhaps Santa has lost weight due to stress. Maybe there’s just so many naughty children this year. :P Haha~ As we were carolling, the Santa and the staff went around giving bags of goodies. Next up, we were brought up one floor to the… hmm… an open space with a huge window behind us and the bright warm morning sunlight shone upon our backs! Haha~ Felt kinda hot right there though the place was air conditioned. There we carolled some more and then we were brought nearby to the children playroom where we carolled outside near a small cafe. Next, up we go to the maternity… err… fertility? place and we carolled there too. ^^ All of a sudden, i noticed the Santa has grown fatter! O.O gasp~ Wow! He must have eaten lots of cookies and milk on the way! Haha~ Actually it was another person in the same Santa suit. :P You know what was really funny about him? The Santa suit was actually tailored for a thinner guy so when the fatter Santa put that suit on the belt couldn’t fit! XD Guess what? they cellophane taped the back of the belt to extend its length. XD XD lols~ Later, i thought we were done but we weren’t! We were brought up some more to the children ward and the elderly ward… i think it was the elderly ward cause i see some… one elderly lady. Oh well~ Haha~ Well, it really feels nice having able to sing carols and perhaps cheer some people up bringing warmth to them. =)

After all the carolling was done we were brought up stairs to the auditorium for lunch. There, to our surprise we were instead entertained by another carolling group way larger than our small one. =) Interesting way they were singing the songs in their parts. All of a sudden they sprang out to sing Jin Jia Ho Lai Xin Yah Saw Jin Jia Ho~ Wow! Shocked but amazed! XD Quite random i’d say. Haha.

When we were done for lunch we still had about 2 hours or so before i had music practice for Sunday service. We wanted to go to 1U but the traffic made us change our mind. Instead we went to Centrepoint for Starbucks. That would be my 3rd time going there. Wah, my friend suddenly belanja me drink Starbucks as a Christmas present. So now i have to find her a Christmas present. @@ Hopefully i remember.

And a after music practice we had carolling practice! Wow, so much carolling today. I’ve been out almost the whole day. Since 9am till 7pm. I’m tired, but it’s good to feel tired. Your muscles aching, your eyelids heavy, helps you sleep better. =) Well, that’s about it for my day today. Christmas is one week away! =D Yay~ So, what are your plans this Christmas? =) Anything is good as long as you can have a great time together and feel the warmth of Christmas. =) Merry Christmas! =D

Sorrow

I stride by the river of sorrow,
Its dark waters reflect ones sorrowful heart,
I see darkness and despair,
How bitter is my heart.

In my sleep,
I hide my despair,
In the depths of my dreams,
I drown my sorrows.

Christmas lights…

Ah~ The chilly nights~ Wind so cold and soothing. The air is moist from the rain just passed. It feels like Christmas alright. Haha~ Well, yesterday night i saw a house with Christmas lights decorating outside of the house. Christmas light… i think you can rarely find that around houses anymore… well i don’t see them or perhaps i’m not out enough. The lights… its soft glow in the dark gives a calm feeling of the merry holidays of December. Reminds me of Christmas trees. Hmm… i don’t think i’ve see any around. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GREEN CHRISTMAS TREES!!! When i was young, my house had a plastic Christmas tree where my family and i fixed up and decorated it together. Put on the lights and turned it on. I just love looking at the lights blinking ever so tenderly. Haha~ Hmm… i want to… but i don’t feel like to… hmm… inspiration is leaving me. Haha~ In the end, i think this blog post is kinda… hmm… pointless. I don’t know, doesn’t seem right. Haha~ My blogging days are gone. Oh well~ just some random rantings then. =)

Here you are December! =D … wait, you look different

It’s the beginning of the merry month of December! ^^ And it has been ages since i last blogged. ^^ Well, what can one do right now, in the midst of an immensely long holiday… 3 months to be exact… of cause boredom starts to creep into your soul and it TAKES OVER and you get so BORED that you’d find anything and everything you can possibly get yourself to do. XD Haha~ I just felt like blogging that’s all. A seemingly rare occasion, i know, ever since university started. Oh so what oh what will become of my blog in the future to come.

Okay, as i was saying, IT’S DECEMBER!!! =D =D =D It’s actually my favourite time of the year. Where the merry Christmas spirit spreads forth and the happiness and joy, the blissfulness of ones soul, the carols ringing in the air and the weather oh so cold it seems as though it might snow. =) December is special to me, the very last month of the year, the holidays, Christmas carolling, visiting houses, the food, the friends, the high-ness… but alas, December seems to be ever so… well, it just doesn’t feel the same anymore. The youths are missing, carolling isn’t as fun as it used to be. No more high friends, in the car, travelling by the night, to houses for carolling, with great joy and happiness, with all the laughter you’d get from the ever so funny jokes… ah the laughter… the smiles… it  just makes ones heart so happy. Reminiscence~ The good times… will Christmas be ever that special again? I wonder~

^^ Well, why this mood of gloom? Haha~ I should be happy i’m not working right now. XD It’s kind of true, what my friend said. Why should we work right now when we have choice not to? In the future ever so close, the responsibility of working, will once become inevitable. Thus, i am trying to find what can i do right now, that i can’t do in the future where i’ll be working. =) So far, i’ve just been at home, waking up at 10am, watching TV, going online, playing games, gardening, learning stuff i’m interested but to no avail… hmm, rarely going out with friends… oh the long holidays just makes it more dull. @@ I’m sure i can think of something to do. Haha~

Oh hey, results are out. ^^ I was really worried and afraid of checking it. But after long delaying the inevitable, playing around, having fun, just to find the courage to check it, i finally did. And of course, the inevitable fact was revealed. I really got i expected… and i’d say, i’m satisfied. (But then why do have these thoughts of ‘Oh~ If only i did this i know i could have done a lot better) Haha~ Well, regret, i bet everyone has through that before. =) I hope my friends did well. ^^
