Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey
and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer
really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you.

Everyday should be Christmas.
sunday the sundae.. yupx! if only sundays could be as perfect as ever. apparently, things are NOT going as fine as i think they are. i'm always asking myself why did i join the choir in the first place.. why am i STILL staying in the choir? well, its been 4 years... long time but yesh. i shall not blog abt what happened in church. disputes amongst fellow church ministries = failure.
oh wells, just like an ordinary sunday, i went to church in the morning.. came home, had to wash dishes cuz the maid went on off-day.. then went for tuition at orchard.. went over to tricia's place after that.. talk talk talk... then went off for dinner... rushed through math hmk n here i am! ORDINARY hectic sunday. aren't sunday's supposed to be relaxing and fun??? oh wells..
oh no.. BIG oh no.. tmr's monday.. u noe what? the start of another hectic week for me. unlike some people who can stay home this whole week to study n be excused from school. no fair! OUR exams are coming too, dun we have to study? *cheeky face..* but yar, the n's are coming soon.. then it'll be the o's next, then the a's. imagine one week, in school with ur own friends.. when u keep thinking that he's not in school.. n will not be for the whole week.. oh man, this is bad..
yupx, but all i can say is study hard!! cuz its like, less than 2 weeks till the exams.... take care ppl!! *muacKZ!!

Everyday should be Christmas.
Lets see.. its been like, about 8 days since i last blogged.. hmm, long huh. oh well, for the past 5 days, was in OBS. on the first day, things were going alright.. in fact fun! not too stressful on the mind or body YET. mostly were admin stuff the whole morning till afternoon. then checked stores n stuff. then we went to belaying school, where we learnt how to belay the climber. the fall was fun.. harhar.. then pitched tents, cooked dinner and lastly, slept. oh before i forget, i was in this watch called magallen. chim stuff...
second day... learnt how to kayak the whole morning.. did capsize drill n stuff.. we were out in the sea doing our capsize drill when someone from my watch screamed "JELLY FISH!!!" then at that time i was still in the water trying to get rid of the water from my capsized kayak.. i was damn kan chiong man.. after that, we had to pack our bags to get ready for trekking to our next campsite. after all, we were in the mobile course. man, the bags were HEAVY. marcus once told me it was at least 7kg. to me, its at least 10kg. no joke man.. my whole watch was saying they'd rather study n sit for exams than to carry this damn heavy bag with them to some ULU-ATED place to sleep in. finally, we reached that stupid ulu place. the campsite was rocky. and yup, u guessed it. we couldn't sleep well.. the rocks were PAINFUL ok.. the toilets were like, in the middle of the forest. gurls on the left, guys on the right. the campsite was seriously dark. it rained when we were having our dinner n had to hold up our ponchos to "shelter" the "stove" n the cook, yongkiat.
day three.. we set off from that place again, heading toward another campsite. this time, things were MUCH better. our campsite was somewhere near the medical centre. so we could shower n use REAL toilets. no more bushes for me man... there, we did all the high element stuff. i'm not afraid of heights, but this time, i WAS. did rock climbing.. tiring. did the DDD thingy.. nothing but climbing logs hung in the air. damn high man.. wearing the harness all day made me get a blue black THERE. (in between the legs lar..) then by 8pm, 3 watches, tenzing, magallen and ralleigh gathered for a breifing regarding our final challenge. the SEA EXPEDITION. 18 km long, kayak all the way.. siao man, they told us abt sea snakes, jelly fish n stuff. i was freaked!
day four... unpitched tents by 6am, loaded our bags to safety boats at 7, set off by 7.40 in our kayaks. was rather cloudy, thank God.. so didn't get burnt. NONE of our kayaks capsized, so thank God there again. paddled in the middle of the ocean round the island and along one damn long n stinky swamp. i called the water shit water. so smelly man!! muddy n dirty too. later on, it rained, and we had to kayak in the rain.. haix. cold siah.. saw a rat swimming in the ocean (cool!) the whole expedition was reallie tiring n stuff. muscle aches until now. i started singing during the expedition n that reallie helped to get my mind off the fustration of the damn long journey. 18km leh.. "live radio".. a lot of us sang ok.. hahax.. reached our destination by 3.30.. we did well..
day five... unpacked our stupid heavy bagpacks and returned stuff to the store. was ALOT of stuff. and i mean alot. wash here wash there still haven't finish. but finally did lar. exchanged contacts of new friends, snapped pics with them too.. harhar.. i'll share them online if i can.. kk i gtg liao, take care ppl... SLEEP!! oh for ur info, our meals were such that breakfast n lunch: bread n biscuits. dinner: u cook urself with ur own food rations given to u.
