I'll save everyone the agony of reading a wordy and lengthy post on whatever happened during carolling. So, it'll be short this time(:

We got free log cakes courtesy of Pastor P's neighbours, free Haato gelato ice-cream at Pastor Peter's house, and free beer at Uncle George's place. If for a moment you actually believed we underaged(well, majority of us were) younglings(using AngChai's word) got free alcohol, i'm laughing at you! HAH. Okay, sorry!

I brought the kid photos of the cousins and i to show Debs. She and Gid found it hilarious. Strange. Tania was the usual: crazy but absolute joy. So were Olivia and Harriet. Flo, Fid and i agreed that what we were lacking were candles and SNOW(cue to Jul to bring back some snow since everyone knows that SnowCity's snow is such a ripoff). AngChai did a great job with the song leading and guitar playing(: He's cool fun.

So, the freebies obviously weren't the main thing of the whole carolling idea. If it were, where'd the term 'carolling' come from! Someone tell me what the main thing about carolling is(:

Okay, so model answer: Carolling from my point of view is, making use of the gifts God has blessed us with to bless others. Blessed to bless yes? Reaching out to the community and show them our warmth on this Christmas day. It felt really great to know that we touched the lives of those people we sang to. They unanimously commented that they felt so touched and very happy. I was smiling genuinely from deep down inside. If i were to describe the feeling, it'd be FANTABLYGOOVERLYOOVERLYLOOVERLYGOODY! :D:D:D Scratch the 'model answer' part cos i really meant what i'd typed. I really wanted to convey that message(:

Plus. We bonded quite well too. Not very unexpectedly cos i think one of the reasons of organising this activity is to bond all of us together. Correct me if i'm wrong though.

Christmas service(: Mommy and Ming stayed home cos Ming was sick:\ Daddy had ushering duty. So Jek and I were sitting alone together cos there wasn't any space where RW was sitting and I didn't wanna sit right up infront with Olivia. Tiff and Janell came late.

The dance studio was cold today. Brrr. Which is unusual cos usually by the time we finished barre work, it'd start to get warm. But i still felt cold even after doing barre and centre work. kept stepping on Rebecca today. With character shoes somemore. SORRYYY!

Sian and i wanted to go over to BTC to get some laaast minute presents. But guess what! We didn't. And i am starting to feel tinges of guilt after receiving presents from people whom i haven't bought presents for. I got to do something pronto man. I roughly know what i wanna give. Hint: Merry KISSmas. (Yet another hint: it has nothing to do with real kissing. Or physical contact. EEW!)

Same with my bday. Cos it's in Jan(HINT HINT HINT!) and when people give me bday presents, i feel so obliged to give return them the kindness when their bday comes.

Oh yes, to Debs: Hope your ankle gets better reeeal soon! Rest well and don't walk around too much(: Use a seetee and roll around the house. But not down the stairs! Praying for a quick recovery for you! LOVE!

So with that, (Oh boy. The post became so lengthy! :D:D:D) Here's wishing you a HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A MERRY NEW YEAR!

Sze-Ern loves you very very much(:
