Christmas is in 3 days time, yet the yuletide spirit is severely lacking at my house. 12 christmas cards propped up on top of the piano are the only sign of decoration. No nativity scene, no advent wreath, no christmas tree. Not even christmas shopping! Looks like I'll only start feeling christmassy during the mass on christmas eve. I love the carols, they give you this nice, warm feeling.

2005 is just around the corner too. Almost a year ago, at the beginning of 2004, I was looking ahead and thinking how big this year was for me. I just wanted school and In Focus to end. I couldn't wait for the O's to be over and done with. Now I actually miss school. Ok, well not school exactly. It's more of the friends and those unforgettable times we shared. The debating sessions. Chatting while having recess and lunch together. Sharing our problems. Going to TM after school. Kenneth spewing watermelon out of his nose while Ili and I exploded into peals of laughter(Heh heh sorry dude).

I guess what makes these memories more precious is the fact that we're going to drift apart. What's worse is we've probably already started to. Somewhere after June, we just didn't hang out together as much. When we did, there would always be a few people missing. Maybe it was because we were all concentrating on the O's, but even after that ended, plans to go out usually fell apart. We're all slowly heading in different directions without realising it. Then again, change isn't always a bad thing. Next year will be full of big changes, new friends to make, and more fun to have. I'd just like to say that whatever happens, I'll always remember the experiences I had with my close friends. You guys know who you are! Never forget, okay? Friends forever, give or take.

Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin: a wild ride through
the back alleys of toontown! The only ride
with a PG sense of humour in the G rated world
of Disneyland, you are zany, wild, and a little
bit of a loose screw. Energetic and colorful,
you go at full speed, even though your taxi-car
vehicles actually have four flat tires!
Despite your older humor, you are a kid at
heart and kids most relate to your cartoony
world and like you the best. You've been know
to make the adults a little queasy and a litte
bit dizzy. You leave your visitors dazed, a
little confused, but more often, extremely
amused. You take us to the places we'd never
see in a ride featuring the straight-laced
Mickey, but somehow you're still all Disney.

What Disneyland attraction are you?

I think my blog is starting to rot. Yeah, I know it's been a while...and lots of stuff has happened. The biggest highlight of the past 9 days was 30th Nov...Grad Nite.

Preparations started a week before the big night. I got my dress and went for a manicure just for the fun of it. I also got my eyebrows plucked, which wasn't fun at all. On the day itself, I bustled to get ready. Kenneth came over at 3 to hang out for a while, then left a little while after my aunt came over to do my hair and makeup. After she finished, I couldn't believe it was my reflection staring back at me in the mirror. I took a few photos before leaving and hopped into a cab to the Intercontinental Hotel. Everyone there looked so mature and stunning...and they couldn't recognise me either. Haha.

The evening began with a dressup game and a scavenger hunt. Both were won by table 3. Dinner started soon after while the nominees for Mr/Miss Graduate were announced. In the end, Farah and Chong Xun took the titles. Other stuff that happened during the night were the distribution of CCA certificates (I got silver), a little dancing contest and of course, loads of photo-taking. The only letdown was the lack of dancing. There was supposed to be about half an hour of dancefloor, but as dinner started late due to photo-taking, everyone was still eating and there was no time. I'm not sure how many people wanted to dance anyway. A couple of guys went to the floor to breakdance though. Very entertaining! When it was all over, most people, including me, stayed behind to take more pics. I came home totally knackered out and went to sleep after taking a quick shower. The night was, in a single word, fabulous. I'd like to thank everyone who came, the teachers and student council for planning the whole thing, and lastly all my good friends who made the past 4 years in TPSS memorable. Thank you all!

Other stuff that happened these 9 days:

- Singapore Idol finals!!!! Taufik won! Yes!!!!!! He deserves it more. I voted for him like, 200 times. =)

-I watched The Incredibles. Great movie! People keep telling me I look like Violet. Really? I do? I think her character relates to me a lil. Haha.

- I watched Veer Zara with Kenneth. It's a hindi movie. It was pretty interesting...but my legs went numb after sitting in the cinema for 3 and a half hours. Then I went to Kenneth's house for a while. Helped clear all the notes...and came across our lower sec class photos. I looked through them for a while. Man, have we all changed a lot! I suddenly became aware of how much I miss being in secondary school already, even though it's hardly been a month since we graduated.

- I watched Kal Ho Naa Ho for the second time. Another hindi movie...this one makes me cry buckets. At least I didn't cry as much as the first time.

-I went to the library to borrow books...forgot how much I like reading. I was thinking about trying to finish all the books in the teenage fiction section of the library during the holidays. Crazy, huh?

Things I wanna do during the hols:

- Go to Sentosa with the eldds members.

- Shopping

- Movies

- Eat ice cream in Gelare and have a TCS (talk crap session) with Kenneth and Ili.

- Meet up with the church gang.

- See if there's anything to do for the youth xmas mass.

I'll add on when I think of something.

Whoa...this post is long...I think I've written just about enough for the day. Til the next time!
