Ok! Finally have the time to put up some photos! In my absence from blogging I went to Bangkok and Hongkong. 2 places that I've kinda wanted to go...cos I've heard so much abt them.... but in general the trip was boring lah. Too much shopping! Ugh! My slippers were all worn out by the time I finished Bangkok...so sad! And I didn't manage to find much to buy.... was juz too exhausted everyday by the time I reached back to the hotel. The only nice day was when we went to the floating market..tt was quite nice.
Hongkong was more interesting.... I was so thrilled by all the cantonese and the culture and all the things tt u usually see in the movies!! Met some famous personalities too! Guess the only down side was tt I missed my baby so much.. and everything I did just wasn't that great.
So here are the pics!
People in Thailand really love elephants...so I guess it's pretty normal tt they'd name their phones after them too?!
Dad and me at the floating market...( it's a self taken shot! My aim quite gd right?)
The view from my hotel room window in Hongkong! This is hongkong island itself...damn gorgeous!
(More view from my window) The Hongkong exhibition and convention centre. That's where Jackie Chan filmed the last scenes for his latest movie "New Police Story"...I was so thrilled.
Guess who was in HK at the same time too? OUr very own Minister Mento(s) LKY! My sister was a bit scared of him...but i wasn't.
Can u spot the non-member of the royal family?
My sister is learning to make funny expressions from me. Check out this shot when we were on the plane. Cute right...haha
That was on the way back and I was quite happy...since I'd had enough of shopping and travelling and was on the way back to see my baby! So was in the mood for funny shots.
And after I came back had a nice little dinner with the oldies...
Then our mini gathering (since we felt too old to be at X'mas bash)... not quite sure what we were trying to do..
Err.....not quite sure what they were trying to do either!
And finally a chachat shot to end it off... the 3 erm...funny angles? (not Charlie's Angels tt we were trying to do!)
Oh, and if for some reason (I dunno y...maybe blogger is feeling too festive) u can't view the photos on this page, click on the thumbnails and they should open up! :)
Yup, so that's all for my photoblogging...now onward to the never ending dinners!

Allooo everybody..... Blessed Christmas to all!!
Just wanted to say tt I'm still alive, for those who were wondering.
Tis been a month or so of complaints la. Cos been so busy and pple been so idiotic and all. But have FINALLY been able to rest!
Slept till 12 plus today.... so tt was gd. Am off to (another!) dinner.... Christmas has been just a neverending flow of dinners. Somehow it's been really different this year.... not like the usual quiet, family spending kinda time. Feels a bit more rushed.... with less time to myself, and perhaps even God. But not all has been bad...there's someone else special in my life now. And as I have been saying to him, " My first Christmas with my first proper boyfriend." heh. And I suppose the time spent wif my parents has been more of quality than quantity... i hope!
Have quite a few pics to put up but no time no time! Maybe tmw la.
Hope Christmas has been gd for u all!

NNH!!! I feel quite F***ed up. Just needed to vent.
This whole rostering of cantors and shit is driving me up the wall. Things are somehow just getting messed up....and initially I thought maybe it's all their fault cos they were the ones who were irresponsible and never turn up for their slot even though it's their choir and they're so much older and supposedly more responsible. So was getting all worked up and shit....and things got quite unpleasant cos the priest got pissed off tt there was no cantor, and there were apologies and all flying ard...but just right now everyone is quite unhappy.
Then I just received some email asking abt the roster for this mth(which was already sent out...so I dunno y tt person didn't receive). Then I get a call frm another one informing me now tt apparently I rostered wrongly. As in, i cfmed a date wif him but then rostered him for another date. So he's of cos like irritated tt how come i do this kinda stupid thing la. And I cldn't believe tt i did sthg like tt....and tried to see if tt was really the case....tried to argue la, but of cos wif no evidence since it was so long ago. And then he fwded me the sms tt I sent to him and it was really me who messed up. Luckily no big consequence yet la since its this month and hasn't come yet...but twas another time bomb waiting to explode la. So I feel quite the cock. And quite F***ed up. So ya....i shldn't be so adamant and angry with them cos idiots like me are likely to screw up too right.
So now I have to swallow my pride and continue serving amidst all this paiseh-ness and church politics and unhappiness. Feels quite like shit, but I guess I've to get over myself.
The exams are over! Why still so sianz!! It's been a sem of many happenings....in general, I'm happy...but then, there are things like my hons and stress and all these funny things abt service which are just making things sian 1/2!! Life is all abt choices....and I wonder if I keep making the wrong ones.
(P/s *for my baby's benefit: But I'm sure the one right choice I made was to end up with you dear. And I'm very sure abt that :) VERY)
And there were actually many happy things tt happened yesterday...but I no mood to blog abt em now la cos need to go off to church to sing in a while...and even for tt I no mood leh. Haiz.
