I see you.
this is really quite a good movie... for a show which held zero interest for me i actually enjoyed it though the excessive point-of-view shots did cause some giddiness. but the graphics were awesome.
anyway today was quite a well-spent day. got quite a lot of things done.
1. went for dental
2. met up with terri, xy and grace for brunch. teochew porridge at cheong chi nam. cheap and good. cheong chi nam looks mighty different in the day.
3. went to the most awesome F21 ever at Somerset 313. 4 frigging storeys. FOUR. grace and i queued half an hour for the dressing room but then again that was only at one level. its an F21 lover's paradise. can't believe we actually queued that long to try on clothes.
4. watched Avatar. hard to reconcile the fact that its directed by James Cameron of Titanic fame.
5. had dinner at Xin Wang Cafe. the milk tea was really good and the mee sua too. yum.
well, results were released finally and suddenly the world doesn't quite spin in the right direction and the centre of gravity has somehow shifted. but things will return to normal after a while.
random outburst:
I AM HUNGRY.

Christmas Day.
i woke up at 6.30am to the dark interiors of an empty hall that is our church building, feeling the effects of having slept for barely an hour. somehow, louisa and i managed to drag our half-asleep selves to the train station, armed with board games and stuff that is just called stuff becuase to break them down in detail would be absolutely laborious.
took the bus back home this Christmas morning...where no snow flakes were falling, no bells were ringing and nobody was any different from themselves on any other day. i only haven't been home for the last 24 hours yet somehow it feels like a long time... and there's an inexplicable gladness to be standing on home ground.
christmas this year is absolutely un-christmassy. except during the countdown party where the warmth did manage to touch the heart for a small short while but towards the still hours of the early morning it was gone and fatigue was the only emotion left to be felt.
if you ask me how the process of planning the hangout was like... i would say surreal. but it stops there because there's so much left in my head to sort out. when you are the person making things happen, somehow you can't quite believe it has happened even when it has and you were there to make reality as it were.
does Christmas really have to happen only on Christmas?

wow.
i just realised...that i haven't been writing for a while now. suddenly my life is kinda turned 180 degrees around. so many things are happening, so many new responsibilities in church, so much to take in and learn, so much to grow in. it's like someone just pressed the fast forward button and the film speeds up a few frames per minute... that i can only slow down and press play to go back to the normal mode of things when the day is over. sometimes i just want to take a few seconds just standing still on the spot and look out at the path in front of our house and just watch life go by... to remember the eternal beauty and simplicity of all that God created.
this season - it's the start of something new.

Cos i'm free, free. all my chains are broken.
it's time to breathe in that air of freshness and embrace post-exam life with great anticipation and eagerness. oh what a glorious time to be alive! HALLELUJAH!
i am so happy and high and i don't know why why why but i can just sit here grinning widely and stupidly, from ear to ear to ear while watching the world go by and by and by.
went with NTU friends (sze, liping, steph, deqi) to celebrate by stuffing ourselves at ichiban sushi. then went walking around jp. it didn't matter we weren't at the most happening place in singapore or we didn't eat the most delicious (it was delicious enough) food because we were all walking on air, feeling like we're on cloud nine. because we're free as birds in the sky and we had each other to share the euphoria with. it was awesome. period.
after that, i went shopping with Christine the Empress at bugis and what an amusing and interesting experience that was. it was so tiring i almost died but it was so so fun. it's hard not to love spending time with her but i need time to get the energy back. then we went for zone bbq and DT's house. it's been so long since i went for a bbq! it used to be such a secondary school gathering thing. kept eating non-stop even though my stomach says i'm full but my mouth says i'm not. the guys did all the work and prepared almost everything (actually i think it is everything.) real men rising up in the house of God!
anyway this morning i got a bloody big shock of my life when i woke up suddenly and saw that it was 8.15 am. and the last paper was starting at 9am. my hands were trembling when i was brushing my teeth... but to cut the long story short (it's not a very long story anyway) i cabbed down and made it there 10 mins before the start and still had time to eat my miserable breakfast of a banana. imagine if i had woken up at 8.45...i might throw up. i learnt 2 things- one, i need to keep my phone on through the night before an important day (yes i switch it off at night usually). two, i need a new alarm clock. THANK GOD I WOKE UP.
it is now near 3 and i am still wide awake because the euphoria is keeping me up. life begins at sunrise in 5 hours' time.
