televisions' life support

Thursday, December 30

t.o.w. all the gatherings

I'm just gonna go straight to it.

24th Dec -- Class Gathering at Mrs Goh's House.

She's just so nice to open up her house to us. I mean, you just know theres gonna be a huge mess. And its like, she just came back from Malaysia. So yeah. She's just so sweet and nice. Anyway, absolutely did not want to take the stupid long train journey down to Queenstown alone, it would be like 60 mins of silence. I'm such a blabbermouth, I would most definitely die, so I met Poxie at Hougang Mrt and went down. We were late. Or so we thought. Apparently people were even later! Like, an hour late. I can totally understand when people are like 15-20 mins late. But an hour? It just irks me. Totally.

Anyway, but she was still very nice lar. And she was so cute, went to book badminton courts and all for us. So we played and I introduced 24. Apparently it wasn't all that well-recieved. I am apparently weird too. Oh well. Anyway, then some of them left and we played cards and Mrs Goh kept making her popiah for us. Hahax. She was so nice, like "Oh, no more? I go and make somemore." And she made like 4-5 rounds. We are such pigs. And those little devils are actually pretty good. =p Anyway, I gave out my gifts and all. Then set down to hear Mrs Goh grace us with a rendition of a piece on the piano. She's pretty good! Hahaz. And then we just sat down and talked la. And she opened her presents and saw my I LOVE NY tee. Its like the trademark shirt in New York btw. Yupz. And then she needed us to pack so we left and played pool at Clementi for awhile.

24th Dec -- Family Gathering at the Maks' Cottage

We used to rotate the venue amongst the families. But for the last 5-8 years, we've always had it at the Mak's Cottage as they so affectionately christen it. Anyway, this year everyone was here! So yeah! We were early and did the usual rounds of raiding Nick's room. Arthur is so cute btw. He's like so small that I could totally swallow him in a bite. And then people came, and we ate on the porch. The whole thing was all similar to the many past years lah. But somehow it just seems more fun each year. Oh yah, suddenly everyone seems so grown up. It was like, just a while ago, when all the younger cousins had to have their maids taking food for them and all. This year, everyone is on their own man. And Jonathan, whoa Jonathan. Hahaz. He's a big boy now! Hahaz. Secondary school has probably changed him. But yeah. It was just fun lar. Opened up my presents anyway. Not bad, not bad at all. =p Hahaz, instead of the usual passe shirts, I only got one, that is actually way cool. So yeah! And then, got a planner, a wrist rester (which im using as we speak), a Raulph Lauren cologne, a wallet, a shoe bag, a watch, a chalk bag, a tennis book, a towel (from my cute grandma) and an xbox. Yup! Hahaz. My mum's friend rocks lah. I always look forward to her gifts man. But yeah. 3,2,1! Christmas came and went. Hahaz. It was never the day I looked forward too, it was always the Eve. =p

25th Dec -- Family Gathering at Our Humble Abode

Right, apparently last night was not fun enough! Hahaz, we had more booze and darts. Ok, No. But we did have chicken rice and coke. Played some games and all. They didn't stay long though. So I got back to my jigsaw.

27th Dec -- Friends Gathering at Plaza Sing
Yup, was supposed to meet Shawn & YiXue for a show and present exchange. That we did and all. They wanted to go buy me Topspin, but we couldnt find it. Boo hoo. Anyway, thanks y'all! Anyway, since the great idiot Poxie lost my gift and my yitian at the stupid pool center, he totally owed me one and repayed me by wanting to watch 012 with me, which apparently, no one really likes cos' people say its too tough to understand. Hell! Its a great heist! Anyway, I'm thinking, if you did not watch 011, you probably will not understand. But since I did watch 011, I totally have to watch 012! It's only right! Anyway, Shawn watched it already, so Poxie met us after lunch and we watched Phantom of the Opera. Haha, its such a classic! And yet, I know nuts about it! How can! Hahaz. So because of that. We totally watched it. Nah, its because there were'nt any seats left for the really good shows. Hahaz. But yeah, I won't say I liked it. But I did enjoy it lah. The singing was pretty good. =p Anyway, Shawn had to run after that, so us 3 tooteteers tittered down trying to find a pool place and did so after a really long walk. Anyway, whats with people going to Plaza Sing. I saw like, Fui wan, Nicholas, Jianxuan and some other Ortus guy there in the same day! And they were in different groups! Whoa. Spooky. Anyway, after a couple of games, Huixiang had to run, so it was just us two. Then soon, we both had to run and so we left to meet up for the np chalet.

27th Dec - 28th Dec -- NP Chalet

This is only my second NP chalet! But yeah. Met people and then did the usual. Cards and mahjong and all. We played mahjong from 130 am to 2++ the next day. Total hoohah. Slept for a while and all. It was actually pretty fun. Apart from a sinister piece of crap that really did irk me a whole lot during the entire chalet. And I was kinda glad I left early because of that. I mean, nah, I shouldn't talk too much here, it could get politically ugly. Hahaz. But that person should really learn to loosen up. Anyway, yeah, it was pretty fun. Petty Jing Sheng couldn't make it, else all my buds in NP would have been there. Geesh. But it was good. =p

29th Dec -- Class Chalet

Went shopping with friends at first and bought a really nice cool bag. Then went to meet them and all. Cycled around Sentosa and that was actually really fun. I would have thought I would have forgotten how to ride a bike. But yeah, and hey, I'm pretty good at it, having been self-taught. Apart from the fact, that I need like a 2 meter buffer zone to start off. I'm ok! Hahaz. But the whole cycling thing was just really fun lah. I enjoyed it alot. Hahaz. And then, I decided I should finally contribute to the class for once and so I built the fire and all. Then they cooked and I ate like 1 chicken wing and 2 hotdogs. Hahaz. I'm not a huge fan of bbqs anyway. Haha. Then we played more cards and ate and talked. This sounds so cliche now. It seems thats all we do. Hahaz, but this class rocks lah, so its nice we have so many gatherings and that the teachers do come down. And Nancy Tay totally digs Eight World Wonder! Didnt stay over but went home for a stayover there too. Hahaz.

30th Dec -- Friends Dayout

Had a couple of friends stay over and crapped a whole lot of shit and then played on my xbox and all. Then went out to meet Wenxi & Eric to get back my phone which I so absent mindedly left there and which I totally regret leaving it there. Oh man! The crap I'll get. But yeah. Watched Meet the Fockers, which I think was quite funny lah. Hahaz. Its such a horny and corny show. No wonder its NC16. But yeah, it did make me laugh a whole lot. Then went to Sake Sushi with Wenxi & Eric since they wanted to treat me. Could I refuse? Hahaz. Then was all tired and full so I came home.

And now I'm blogging! And if anyone found this boring. Well, up yours!
