a week of christmas

this is so overdue. everyone's doing their new year resolutions or recap of 2009 or some sort. and here i am posting about christmas. december has always been the craziest month of the bunch. too many things to do, too little time. albeit all the hassle for christmas, it always leaves me with the best memories. :D

1st stop: caroling!!

out of a sudden cmcckl decided to have a change this year. no more visiting 22 houses in 3 days like we did last year. it's 7 houses in 4 days this year. it was part of the church's plan to boost the attendees of parish groups.

everyone went to datuk tay's house the 1st night. and the remaining 3 days we were split into 2 groups. which means i only sang at 4 houses this year. 4 houses in 4 days. plus all the mad people weren't around to help bring the house down. rachel and peaypei were in australia. valerie and ben were in hongkong. the rest were just too old or busy for caroling. -.- kinda killed my christmas spirit to be honest.

despite it all, we still had a fun time forcing all the food down our throat and singing our hearts out (especially at the last house. last dy marr :P). i just hope next year's caroling will be back like usual. miss those times a lot.

2nd stop: christmas!!

church service was 10 am at chin woo stadium. dad was in charged of parking and mum had rehearsal. so we were there by 8.30am. sleepy sleepy.

valerie that woman wore a dress that day. hahahah. everyone was like 'WOWWWWWWW' and making a whole lot of unrecognizable noises when she walked in. centre of attention yo. ben asked me to wear all black for christmas. so sad right. like funeral only. i thought the stadium would be hot so i didn't. but the air cond was so cold. luckily there's ben, the heat generator. :P

as usual, camwhore camwhore and more camwhore. with dslr some more. woooooooooooot. but i can't seem to find those pictures anywhere. boon ho, upload!!!! :P the highlight of the day was definitely the carolers singing on stage. fun!! only at that moment i could really feel that 'this is christmas!'. kinda ironic isn't it. i could only feel christmas after the church service and caroling and everything.

didn't stay back for christmas luncheon this year. had family gathering over at my aunt's in puchong and another dinner gathering at my cousin's in taman tun later at night. the day before that, christmas eve, we went to dad's old classmates house for a reunion sorta thing. so it's eat eat eat and more eating. i swear i've gained extra weight through the festive. but you must agree with me, what is christmas without turkeys, cheese cakes, shephard pies, salads, carbonara and omg the list is endless. and to think of it chinese new year is only 2 months away = MORE eating!! hahaha. this is part of our chinese culture. so embrace it people.

got loads of presents this year. THANK YOU, LOVES~~
