Shopping Spree

I must apologise to all my close frens .. I meant to get them some christmas gifts to show my appreciation to them but ended up spending on myself for the past 2 shopping trips .. haha .. the temptation is just too great!! I literally walked down the whole stretch of Orchard, from Far East to PS. It was pure madness, pple are everywhere all the time. But I had a good time with my 2 frens who accompanied me.

My leave has officially started but is packed with mtgs with lots of frens, colleagues, volunteers. Some for work purpose while most for catching up, which is good, hvnt been doing that for a long while. Hmm, i m really looking forward to it.

On Leave

I m going on leave .. a long awaited leave. Only 8 days to be exact. Too short to go anywhere cos in between hv mtgs fixed up =( .. but never mind lah, still hv enuf time to do some personal stuff.

Besides catching up with old frens, eating and making merry, i wld like to spend some quality time with my family, esp my nephew and mum. Thot of bringing them out for a picnic so hopefully it wnt be raining then.

I also plan to go for a checkup. My right ear has been gvg me some problems. Had this sharp pain inside my ears. Sometimes it comes on its own, sometimes the pain came if i pressed it. Was joking with my frens that i probably need to remove the ear and he gamely say that that's not a bad idea cos now i dnt hv to fear that what went in from one ear will go out from another .. ya right, what a good advice u just gave .. haha. But seriously, hope it's nothing too serious!

In between the breaks, i hope i do hv time for myself .. do some reflection thingy .. think i need that quite badly .. had some rough time during the year .. need to realign myself ..

Mayb shld squeeze some time to do some decent exercise .. trim off the extra fats from all the feasting .. really lots this year .. haha .. cos my bday falls on this mth too!!

Other things to do ..
1. renew my passport .. sit on it for so long that my cheque for renewal has expired
2. do christmas shopping for some great frens of mine
3. put up the curtain in my room
4. clean up my room
5. write christmas cards

It's over!!

After much sweat and energy, the event is finally over and the best part is my team won 3rd prize!!!! .. Really didnt expect it cos we were not among the top few teams that returned. But it's a good thing we werent penalized at any station and so we were able to do beta than those who returned earlier. Our prize 2 days 1 nite chalet. By right we shld be happy but now we hv to fret over a suitable date where everyone is free.

Really thank God for the turn out. Though there were quite a handful of dropout but most of us enjoyed the games and the food was good. Everyone went home really full. In fact, a lot of them brought back so much food that can last them for almost a week.

More imptly, i m sure everyone went off abit more aware of what Christmas really means - not abt presents, tinsels and santa but Jesus Christ who came to save .. save sinners like u and me ..

Mad Rush

I m feeling guilty for typing this blog at this moment in time cos everyone in office (now 10pm) seems so bz doing something (we are having a big event tmr) but i hv no idea what to do. Not that i m trying to be lazy but there seems to be more hands than work to be done.

It's quite amazing what actually happen. Lately, we had lots of events, one after another that we had no time to publicise about this program until this last week. We started off with only 9 sign ups i think and it juz kept ballooning that we are now expecting 140 students. Wow!! Really thank God!! Hopefully, the youths will turn up as promised.

Tonight got to sleep well so that i will hv the energy to run with the youths that i hv invited. But first must figure out how to boil hotdog .. haha ..

Christmas Card and My Hairdresser

Christmas is around the corner and i was thinking of doing something which i hvnt been doing for a long long time .. sending Christmas cards. I was hunting down city hall area for some decent looking christmas card but most of the card are not very attractive, worse still with lots of santa. Even the Christian shop that i visited has more of santa card than Christ. Makes me wonder whose birthday we are celebrating anyway.

Since i cant get any, i decided to get a haircut instead at the $10 per haircut shop at Funan. The hairdresser looks kind of old but was super friendly. Gave me tips on how to take care of my hair and was convincing me to come back again. He did a really great job, no doubt, and gave me a discount food voucher to visit a noodle shop by their org. Hey, Mr Bernard, you hv won me over. I m coming back again for sure. 5 weeks later, as advised by you.

World on Fire

Saw Sarah McLachlan MTV on "World on Fire". Unique MTV. Almost caused me to cry. I mean there are really poor people living ard us, and in a really poor state. Can you believe that $5000 - the cost of make up for an artiste can provide one year schooling for 145 children in Afghanistan? Then there is this scene on this small child from Kenya, who is hungry but couldnt absorb the food, children from India sleeping in slump and many more. Makes me think twice abt throwing away food and overspending. One day, if possible, i may wan to do something for them.
