I slept at 6am just now, and woke up not too long ago. Didn’t really slept well over the night (or rather morning), it was a pretty on and off thing. All the waking up and turning around in bed kind of stuff. I think it must be that coffee I had yesterday night with Jimmy (seizure). Anyway still feeling pretty groggy right now, but I guess I will be fine after a hot shower, before heading out for church later, and also going to catch up with Shaun for lunch too, it’s been awhile since I last saw him.

Anyway, just a quick update. Been real busy the past few days, doing my X’mas shopping and stuffs. Not all is for me though, some are for my friends. Though I did pamper myself with some shopping therapy too; bought 2 Levi’s jeans and a very nice grey color tote bag. (which can also function as a shoulder slingbag too) Also did 2 ear-piercings on my left ear, like finally. Been wanting to do a ear-piercing since ages ago but I’m always procrastinating it for God knows why, and also cause I was busy studying and preparing for my exams for the past few months, so yeah. Now waiting for my ear-hole to be seasoned, before I go put my own ear-rings/ear-studs. My sis said I should wait for about a week or two, but Ronald tells me the best is to wait for two or three weeks. So I guess I will just leave it as it is for awhile hehe.

Met up with the guys today to chill and also for dinner, initial plans was to actually head to Suntec or Marina for dinner, but in the end we ended up in Orchard again, as usual. Heavy crowds were everywhere in Orchard Rd (as expected), especially around the Wisma and Takashimaya area. There were some incidents happening around that area yesterday night actually, which you can read up more about it over here. We were lucky cause we were on the other side actually; we were on the opposite direction walking back to Orchard Heeren from the Meridien foodcourt area, so we didn’t really met or kana any bhangras or ginna kias on the way who are so fanatic with their spray-cans trying to spray anyone and everyone that they can see or catch, which was quite a nuisance obviously. I personally think that in times likes this, especially during festive seasons, they should deploy more police to maintain and control the crowd, so no-one will dare to try anything funny. Just reading about those bhangras trying to take advantage of the modesty of the girls and xiaomeimeis out there, is seriously making me feel like condemning them to the core. This is not about been a racist or what, but just WTF, just thinking about it, it’s always the case like this that only happens during festive seasons like X’mas or New Year countdowns. Why do they come out in a crowd during a time like this, and not during Deepavali? So can we form a Chinese crowd next time and go disturb the chio chio Malay and Indian xiaomeimeis and girls? Oh please, give me a break man.

So all crap aside, I think the Christmas celebration for this year was pretty alright. Spent the night and countdown at Cafe Cartel with them, and we exchanged presents with each other. I left shortly after the countdown was over, cause I was originally meeting Jimmy (seizure) outside Cineleisure since we were planning to go Holland V to chill. He drove over from home and fetched me from Orchard, then off we went to Holland V. Was supposingly having the plans to go for some drinking, but in the end we decided against it cause he needs to drive home safely (not to mention TP was all around the island during festive seasons like this) and I also have church the next morning. So initially we decided to go to Essential Bar to chill, but cause when we reach there it was gonna close soon, so in the end we had coffee instead at Coffee Bean & Tealeaf. Jimmy treated me to ice mocha and some really nice tiramisu cake, haha really appreciate it, thanks bro. We catched up and updated each other with our lives and current on-goings. He’s actually clearing leave right now since he can’t bring over his block leave over to next year, due to his unit’s policy, which is pretty bummer actually, since I believe every NSF servicemen was supposed to be entitled to this kind of privilege if I’m not wrong. Nevertheless I believe he’s also happy in a way, since he can have more free time for himself and also to spend with his gf.

So well, that’s about it. I actually have some very mixed thoughts about Christmas this year, which has also brought me some light in terms of some matters also, which I will elaborate about it the next time, when I have the chance and the mood to write abt it. In the meantime, let’s just say some matters are really hard to comprehend or control within our own will or power; sometimes you just can’t do anything abt it yourself, since it really takes two hands to clap.

Ok I’m really running late, so that’s about it. Will prolly upload some photos that I had taken over the past few days tonight, so catch you guys again soon. Oh and it’s the birthday of Jesus today also, praise the Lord. And hope everyone will have a very nice Christmas and Happy Holidays too, laters everyone! (^ ^)
