i let you go

another day out. went around wif mom and daniel.. first went white sands for breakfast, then we headed down sleepily to city hall to walk walk. goodness everywhere was having sales lah.
mango was still having their 70% sale. but i didn't realli find anything suitable there. and the one and only thing i like.. was still rather ex after the 70% discount and mom was like.." dun wan lah so ex!"
perlini's was having their post-christmas sale. 30%. but we were kinda rushing off so didn't even walk in.
esprit. were they having a sale? can't remember. there were so many nice things there lah! but i tink they weren't having a sale and the stuff was ... sigh expensive.
u2 was having a 50% sale! and saw lotsa nice bottoms wif belts. but.. the longs were realli long. and i realised the three-quarts will look weird on me so oh well.
giordano was having some sale too.. but it was like.. hadta buy two tops/two bottoms.
so in the end..

i came home empty-handed.

i let you fly

aniwae. went out gift shopping ytd wif ivee ivan & guonian @ SKS outram. not christmas shopping. but welcome-gift shopping and farewell-gift shopping. welcome the new sec 1s coming in this sunday... and farewell to the antiochers leaving this sunday. sighsigh. antioch is left with... how many ppl? oh well. and next yr the number of ppl goin to YAM is like. 1 2 3 4? 5? i dont know.

why do i keep on wondering why

on another topic, 'm working again on jan 4 5 6th :) haha... boss called me back to work on those days. haha i was so amused when i received mom's sms informing me that boss was looking for me. right. so there. i'm working again on those 3 days.

2005 is almost over.one more day tmr and that's the end of it all. and the cycle repeats itself. another 365 starts all over again. a whole new year.. i dont know what to expect... and i dont know what will become of 2006. but the lessons of 2005 shall be carried over

to learn
to work
to strive
to trust
to hope
to realise
to fall
to get up again
to look the other way
to end things
to let go

no one can live on a diet of hope

christmas was beautiful :) just .... beautiful :)

didn't realli get into the spirit till the eve of christmas when we were driving along orchard road.. seeing all the chaos and madness there... and me shouting merry christmas out of the window. daddy said i must have been drunk. haha... that night i slept at 5am man. all the card-writing and present-wrapping!! oh wells :) but somehow i feel the joy of giving this christmas.

went to church ytd.. and massive present exchange the moment i arrived. it was a rushy yet memorable moment.. only once a year do you get people running to you and go "sophie!!merry christmas!!" with presents in their hands :) haha. went up for service after waiting for *ahem* cor.

i opened my last present like.. one hour ago. haha i like the thrill and suspense of unwrapping prezzies see. right. all the presents were so delightful!! some were super touching... some made me laugh on my bed :D at night was the family gathering at aunt's place. we were high i tell u. and it was a super hilarious session i must say :) we counted down to er-jiu's bdae and stuck candles on the log cake-which acted as his bdae cake. btw i ate alot ytd.. and 2 slices of log cake plus ice cream! goodness i'm BOM! ahh.

today had brunch @ cartel with mom gracekoh ship.. it was actually supposed to be just 3 of them... but all my friends were late so i just tagged along. ate ALOT. goodness me felt so full havent eaten anything since then. but it ws nice esp the waffles :) then met the 7 wanderers except chuwen at tm.. and i saw jeremy without hair! poor jeremy.. the army's killing you eh. and i got a bdae prezzie from them !! thank you guys really. and guess what they got me. PAPA SMURF!!!! hahahhahah...... so papa smurf found his way to his son eh. now i haf 2 smurfs at home :) they can play with each other when i'm busy.

and yes. adriel deserves special mention for his prezzie. adriel, my heart stopped when i opened that cornflakes box. would never think of getting such a prezzie from you. thanks!

and an open apology to charis and charlene. i was at tecman and i spotted prezzies for you two. but i really dont know how i lost it! maybe i forgot to bring it to the counter for payment.. maybe. ahh.. i'm really so sorry esp charis!! ahh. u can ask selene she was with me!

went christmas shopping wif selene ytd.. lunch first @ mos then off to town. wanted to alight at bugis but both of us were stoning on the train... hence we missed the stop and alighted at city hall.. then decided to shop at tecman first. managed to get some prezzies there... and then off to bugis. got even more prezzies there... but i'm still left with many many. but it was the first time i was so productive on a shopping trip... the amt of things i bought in that few hours far exceeded the no. of things i bought for myself this entire year.

oh yah i gotta thank my syc roomies + adriel+guonian for my wonderful gift.. and for singing the happy birthday song on sunday at the back of rol attracting lots of attention. thank you for the present maeyan siqi mayanne jolencia adriel guonian.. thank you for giving me the one and only present i've received.



why on earth am i forcing myself to blog when i'm upset

nite before last was online.. when dad handed me a letter. what did the envelope say? CDC & CCC. and at the bottom of it was GOOD PROGRESS AWARD. hahah i laughed to myself and was like.. what's this man what's inside? another of those funny letters where the contents isn't realli what the envelope states huh? so left it aside and con'td chatting and doin stuff. then after awhile started 2 feel bored so i ripped open the letter.

ohmygoodness what a shock of my life it was seriously. it was simple and straightforward - like all other letters from the ministry.

i congratulate you for making good progress in your studies.

ok now abt the experience @ trinity methodist. we were over there to lead a worship session dis morn. and 5 of us stayed overnite over there. our soundcheck was at 1030pm so yup! was super tired the whole of today man. sleeping everywhere my parents brought me. was sleeping/sleepwalking frm the car to lunch dining place to church. and came home and slept awhile more! oh wells. it was a good experience for me and nearly everyone there was so nice and welcoming!! :) hahahh they gave us a nice room all to ourselves. a room called ONESIMUS. and everything there is hightech can. i opened the toilet door and it was dark. i stepped in and the lights came on ;) cool eh! hahah... but yes i felt quite lost since the church was like... in serangoon or sth. totally alienated!

alritey babes. i'm back from my mini vacation-not that many of u know abt. haha a rather last minute decision by the wong parents. aniwaes. it was super enjoyable and lovely and quiet and peaceful yet interesting. where to? sebana cove malaysia. the firefiles were so lovely and amazing lighting those mangrove trees like christmas lights :) what a sight! we had to go on a journey of trust to see the fireflies i tell u. absolute darkness. just the river, mangrove trees, the sky, human beings, and darkness. but was great! hahhaa... the room service was not bad too! but i'm currently traumatised by the silly

BLOODY MARY which i ordered. arukch. tomato juice with alcohol and a wedge of lemon to improve its taste. wish i ordered sth else. at least adriel's SINGAPORE SLING had bubbles and a cocktail and it was pink not bloody red. arukch.

i'm abit burnt now hehe :)

will be off to syc tmr. 4 days 3 nites till 12th december.

and finally-i bought new bottoms can. the last time i bought clothes for myself was chinese new year. yes pathetic me. was at TM shopping wif mom today and @ Giordano there was a 1 for $35, 2 for $70 deal. mom wanted to get 2 bottoms but after coming out of the fitting room (and maybe seeing her daughter so pathetic sitting there holding the clothes, or maybe it was just outta pure love) she said i tink i'll take onli one lah u go choose one for urself. dont want to be so greedy! must share. and after repeated askings on my part she insisted so yea thanks mom! (cos i alr bought a similar pair some days ago) i kept pushing things till after As and NOW is after As so :) mom's been pestering me to go register to do relief teaching. hhahaha can u imagine me shouting at a class of primary school kids? hmph. maybe. maybe not. but anyway it'll be good to earn some dollars lah.

alrites i just heard some shocking news and i realli DO HOPE ITS NOT TRUE!!! ahhh. but i'll know if it is tmr. for now... cya all soon!

oh holy night! the stars are brightly shi-ning. it is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.
