Next Year, To Save Me From Tears, I’ll Give It to Someone Special…

An incident happened on Xmas eve that caused me to 胡思乱想 (have weird ideas) that I have a curse on special occasions! Once bitten, twice shy. Twice bitten? But I know it isn’t true, don’t worry.


This entry however, is not to share my current pain/concerns but to thank God for my wonderful friends who make my life so happening and worth living for in spite of it all! I’m determined to be strong and not let my emotions crush me because that is so yesterday.


All photos not taken by me (credits: Deb, Kenneth, the Jons & YC) but I edited most of them! Here we go!


1st highlight of Xmas this year was…

Tada! Caroling to the patients at Singapore General Hospital on 17 Dec.


Initially I was quite hesitant to participate as I thought to myself… Will singing carols really make a significant difference? Will that 5 hours of practice for like half an hour’s worth of performance be worth my time?


But the more we sang and the more I saw the smiles on the audience’ faces and hear their applause, the more I realize it was worth it. I wasn’t wasting my time!


Am grateful for the opportunity to serve the community in a little way. We all have to start somewhere.

Just give us a mirror & and we’ll make gd those few seconds in the lift!


After SGH, we walked to…


65704_473990604031_752419031_5669352_1792257_n
for more caroling at a party!

165287_473992719031_752419031_5669411_1848850_n
Performing for the residents & their guests at the Sky Park! 57th floor or something!


Standing at the edge, soaking in the the surreal atmosphere & enjoying the breeze brought much needed serenity to my soul…

I had a lot of fun hanging out with fellow carolers at practices becos they’re all such fun-loving, hilarious and talented people. :)

Maybe one day I might own a unit at Blk 1G of The Pinnacle @Duxton?


It costs at least half a million dollars I think? Ching ching. Location & design is great but not much facilities/food within walking distance!



Next up, my dearest friends & I had a Back To School Partaay on the eve of Xmas eve! =D 


Here’s what we were up to before our teacher arrived in class!

Class monitress Jamie & her bff Ade insisted that gd parties have gd food so here’s the  
sumptuous spread of “canteen food”!

That plate of sushi you see cost me ten bucks! *heart pain* My fave food was the plate of crackers with cheese dip that Debbie bought from Cold Storage (center). Damn gd!


WAX even made “Peking Duck” roll (top right). Of course, I must not forget to thank the class monitress’ maid for cooking the spaghetti & curry chicken for us! =D


We played Charades where each wrote a phrase that describes him/herself and we had to act it out & guess who owned it! Some called themselves dunno what flower one I cannot remb!

As usual, thanks to my sir name I am register no. 1! And my classmates simply had to tease me by saying my full name out LOUD. *cringes*


I got 3 A*s for Winsome-ness, Outgoing-Factor & Bubbly-ness and here’s the very kind remarks Ms. Teo gave:

Wendy is a girl who is never afraid to voice her opinions in class and is very willing to be the voice for her classmates. A highly winsome person, she has friends even out of class that she has positively influenced. She is strongly passionate and will not fail to act on what she believes in, and this is what will bring her far in life.

I hope so Ms. Teo. I really really hope so... So unbelievably tired of being shot down & misunderstood during times when I’m just really passionate bout what I believe in.…



63567_10150141569633496_690413495_8092098_5131912_n

Has WAX been naughty or nice?
When I realized that every single person got 3 A*s, I was like, " I WANT A BELL CURVE!!!!" I am Rachel Berry ttm (to the max) and nobody likes me, I mean her even though I really admire her character in the show!! =D I'm only talking about Glee, the coolest drama series in the world.

We gave Ms. Teo an autograph book writing our faves & hates and a poem or msg, pri school style! Yes think "Roses are red, violets are blue..." We all told her how much we love her & how we’ve been blessed by her teaching! :)

She looks way cuter than me. And since when am I taller than her!? I must have grown through 4 years of HIGH school!

 Time for “class photos” FUNKY STYLE! Each photo represented our interpretation of a fellow classmate.

Watashi’s! (' ' ') (' ' ') Loved it.
 

I’m still trying to figure out Kenneth’s interpretation of me (far right circled). Does he think I’m a duck, a swan, a ballerina or a devil? I have no idea! =D
 

Super love Ding Neng’s pose (most left circled)! Damn cute! I think he was imitating me in the following photo!

 Lol! Took this at like 1am on the day of Stand Chart Marathon when the road was closed! =D

Time for kiddos to head home!

 

Droved by Jon Goh for the 1st time! :) A very safe driver that goes 60km/hr!


Thanks Jamie for letting us use your house! :) E Four Four One High sure knows how to partaay, best one ever. :)





25th Dec came!! Went to church for the 1pm Christmas service! :) 
 

We Feliz Navida-ed & messed up each other’s hair during the woo part! And even used our own shaker to join in the music! Hohoho. (I guess we were simply bored that every year it’s always the same songs! Oops.)


The drama production, 'Heroes of Faith Academy', was a tear-jerker. Could super relate to Veroy Potter but ended up was the person on my left and right crying! Hehe.
 

Then we headed to Bugis Junction’s Ministry of Food for our late lunch!



165267_478549929031_752419031_5753395_7533273_n They’re so pretty. :)


I vehemently objected to MOF initially cos I had a very bad experience when Aaron and I were there a few days before. The servers kept bringing other customers’ orders to our table and the rice of the Bento I ordered tasted like crap.
 


I even came down with a very sore throat immediately after! Downed lots & lots of water, Ribena and Woods Peppermint cough syrup before it went away!



74683_478550134031_752419031_5753399_5152458_n  But thank God I ordered the right food this time! Their chicken ramen is gd! $12+.


Their service was slow as usual despite the fact that the restaurant was barely half full?

Jon’s choc fondue with dunno what!


3 of them had high tea buffet(4 to 6pm, $20). And I just had to put this photo!

Vic said it’s the "ahhh the food so good" face! Lmao.

Santarina gave us liqueur chocs!




Then Vann & I quickly zipped to Marina Bay Sands! It was all impromtu. Thank you gf for inviting me, u’re my savior!

Just look at the view from my seat!!! Cakes, choc fondue, and more cakes! *drools*


166511_478967959031_752419031_5762111_284492_n U salad lovers will dig this! Not me! :) I digged the previous! =D



They also had all sorts of sashimi there. Service was superb. Go there to find out! :) Sadly I couldn’t each much cos I was still very full from the ramen!

There was a bath tub in the huge ass toilet! =0 And I had to do this!





165662_478971339031_752419031_5762204_5902257_n 
I want a rubber ducky.



164819_478973004031_752419031_5762249_5023056_n
Just the four of us…


The toilet was so huge the mirror in it can fit all our reflections. See the 2 doors behind us? One’s a WC and the other a shower! And there’s 2 basins! I want my future toilet to be like that! Don’t have to fight over using the toilet ever! =D



34835_478989894031_752419031_5762584_5148838_n Picture perfect! Just look at the view! :)

We went to the club just to see what it’s like. Saw some Caucasians drinking... nothin’ much! The most expensive bottle on the menu was $2k plus! Siao siao. Entrance fee after 9pm was $108 that night. Only for the rich & wasteful.
 

While Vann’s parents were sleeping, we sat right outside the hotel room door along the corridor and had a HTHT (heart to heart talk) till 2am! Unforgettable. <3

Boxing Day came! Woke up in the morning feeling like P.Diddy & brushed our teeth with a bottle of Jack!

Nooo… we woke up at 7+ feeling like ourselves & headed to the Infinity Pool! (I like Tik Tok but I dislike Ke$ha, random!)


Now, behold, the photo that will give me 10,000 hits…



165503_478994469031_752419031_5762702_6425657_n

167550_478994704031_752419031_5762707_1670368_nThe angle doesn’t seem quite right to me but the only decent photo of what I was “doing”. =p



Only realized that there's warm jacuzzis at my 2nd visit!



This sibling pair is sweet. My bro refuses to hang out with me, let alone soak in a Jacuzzi tgt! Lol.



Back to “开房"!

Thank you for my Xmas pressies Vann, Peien & Vic! :)


Dunno why Peien enclosed a one dollar USD my card but it definitely caught my attention! :) Am I allowed to use it when I visit America again? Haha.


Oh I super love what Vic wrote in my card!:

Wendy! You are one bubbly girl. No doubt a roller coaster ride to be with you (censored censored), but what’s life without a little adventure?  Merry Christmas! Love, Victor


Later that evening, I made a thousand bucks for about six hours of work. Best Xmas present ever. God is good to me! :) I'll never be able to understand why anyone would simply choose to walk away from Him especially after all that He has done for them.


Hope you had a happy Christmas and a fabulous New Year! Mine has to top it next year! Especially when I’m giving it to special people only! :)


P.S: It took me bloody long to do this entry so I had no more time for other entries. :( I shall blog faster next year! RAWR.
