had a wonderful christmas! went down to gillian's house for a mumbo gathering as is every christmas eve. they prepared the food while i was only in charge of eating when i came at night after coming down from sentosa :p . received lotsa cards and gifts, majority of which was chocolates. im guilty of giving chocolates myself...had no time to shop or write cards. at least i din just give a piece of ferrero roche to everyone :p . i even bought chocolates for the gift exchange but guess what did i get? a piece of redemption paper from sean. to collect my gift on new year eve coz he havent got time to buy...wth. nevertheless i trust that he will get me something nice from dubai rite *ahem ahem*?
after slacking the whole christmas day afternoon at gillian's house singing karaoke and eating, we went home to change and take a nap (a long one for those of us who were very late) before meeting up at shaw tower. we were supposed to meet at 7pm and people woke up at 7pm...and the guilty parties was once again sean and co. at least they paid a bit for our dinner. we went to this nice turkish restaurant sofra at shaw tower. fantastic food, nice ambience and reasonable prices. there are even couches for u to chill out after ur meal. walked to a tcc nearby for desserts before coming back again for a midnight movie, chronicles of narnia. was told this is a movie with christian themes but at least it was rather subtle except for the resurrection of azlan. i read about this part before i watched the movie so it was kind of a spoiler. anyway took a lot of stupid photos tat day so here it is.
at the turkish restaurant sofra. nice lighting ;)
the couch for chilling out. this is where we waited for them for 1 hour plus.

my body finally couldnt take it anymore. never had a single day of rest since attachment started. on weekends when most of us are resting, im either training for my comp, working or preparing for my camp. a night with more than 5 hours of sleep was considered a luxury for me. the final spark came on sat when i ate an refrigerated egg tart that's been out in the hot humid weather for a day. i was so hungry after a day at the beach for the ntuc competition(more on tat later) that i ate it. after reaching teck ghee cc for the kids christmas party i ate a proper dinner. however 2 hours later i still felt bloated as though all the food havent been digested. and i was so sleepy and tired as i played mahjong the previous night that i sat in one corner of the room trying to catch a wink. i developed a slight fever after that and felt naseous. finally i could take it no longer and decided to go home. took a cab home and was going to see my doctor until i vomitted everything out into a drain (yucks). felt so much better and went home and slept all the way till sunday evening. didnt go to work today coz i woke up with a throbbing headache and felt dizzy even after eating panadol. halfway on the bus my better judgement told me that i would be better off resting at home right from the start instead of struggling through half a day and then going home after lunch because i couldnt take it. got my mc and rested at home.
the ntuc competition was considered a success. got through to the 2nd round even though we started badly in the 1st match. everything went wrong in the 1st match. guess they havent warmed up yet and the gers was quite nervous ba. both me and jason slept less than 2 hours the previous night and jason still had plenty of alcohol in his blood :p . however as soon as we got into our thing, we were irresistable...haha. my only regret was not being able to play in the 2nd round on sunday. nvm, we'll come back in the next competition stronger :).
really havent been updating much this past month. the thing with attachment is that we are constantly so tired...from waking up so early to travel to the other end of the island...from standing all day long...to rushing reports till late night. this is excluding any other commitments that we have...like accompanying gfs/bfs, cca, and our social lives. ppl have commented i look so much thinner and i have observed that myself...esp after this bout of illness. i have finally wasted my 1 yr plus of hard earned muscle. guess i have to start from scratch all over again.
worked quite a lot during the holidays...but spent almost all my money le. bought a few clothing and a pair of adidas shoes to add to my wardrobe. finally got my black motorola v3 phone le. got it for $268 after paying additional $100 for early upgrade. though not very user friendly i did not regret it as i really loved the design and feel of the phone.
gotta to sleep early and maybe try to complete a bit of my long overdue reports le. and ya i will try to update more frequently. the children camp will be in a separate post later on with the pictures. take care guys...and an advanced merry christmas to all :) .
