pre-christmas news!!!



Woohoo im FINALLY bak 2 kl. I missed da sweet smell of traffic jams n pollution hehe. Neways its been ages since my last post so WARNING!!! Tiz is gonna b a freakishly long update on my action packed christmas season :)


Wow Christmas came n went jz like dat. As usual the season never fails 2 disappoint n I had an absolutely amazing time. Even with classes going on the Christmas spirit was still going strong..in me at least :) oh but everything was quite rushed la…jz imagine shopping 4 presents the day b4 christmas eve. Hw much more rushed can it get rite? Hehe neways guess I should try n go chronologically so I dun confuse anyone.
1st of all caroling was a lil less exciting tiz year. I mean hello we used 2 get home at like 2 or 3 n nw we’re home by 12-2??? Was very disappointed wit dat. N ther was sum tension going on wich was kinda disruptive 2 da Christmas spirit. Da very 1st day of da jyf/yf caroling was
hectic 2 da MAX!! we finally put up da tree in da morning n dat took up da whole morning btw. Then we seriously, im not exaggerating, had ony like 5 minutes 2 get ready 4 a Christmas lunch dat a church member was organizing. We probably mite nth hv went bt da fud is AMAZING year afte year hehe. N tis da season 2 pig out n get fat rite?? So as predicted da lunch was totally amazing!!! Afte leaving we went home, showered n gt ready 2 leave 4 carolling ady. N I think it was raining summore…but well we never fail 2 enjoy ourselves even in weird conditions hehe. We had a pretty much typical caroling day I guess..sory la memory failing :) I really missed tasha n lisa who both weren’t ther :’( Tasha ady left 4 aussie n lisa…I hv no idea y bt she din cum la. So I dun really hv many recollections of da day except dat we were glad tony came :D I even din take many pictures at all. Da reason dat was I shall jz chill n keep 2 myself. Bt da 2nd day brought da bestest best surprise of all. We were staying bak at church coz caroling was supposed 2 start early la. Which it obviously didn’t. we Malaysians strictly uphold da culture of Malaysian timing ;p Sis jz left coz she wasn’t feeling well so we were jz chilling in dad’s office n doing nonsense. I think at da moment of da surprise I was standing on da spinning chair 2 c if I cud balance myself (yeah I knw hw lame it was ppl I was jz SO DAM BORED!!) wen suddenly da door opened. Da 1st thing I noticed was tiz person walking in had a very familiar voice. It took me n joash several moments 2 process da face n we reacted like animals! I totally jumped off my chair n RACED 4 da door hehe. Poor Aaron gt quite a shock. Hey we hadn’t seen him 4 almost a year ok? I cudnt stop hugging him n he was laughing at hw silly I was being. Afte dat things cud ony get betr la. Din really realize hw much we missed him. Our ‘church gang’ jz wasn’t complete :'( neways I hv way more pics of da 2nd day than da 1st day la. So I guess pictures speak betr than words. One interesting tidbit tho. Da whole *cough brian n michelle cough* thing was jz a false alarm. We din c any other episodes 2 suggest any deeper emotions whatsoever. So here r da pics!!

























































































Fast forwarding to the following Friday, da day of da church christmas party. I was kinda late 4 practice coz had class til 4 then went 2 da mamak wit aaron n michelle. Then turned out half da guys were ther so we had a gud time laughing at their antics :) wat wud college life b like without their goofiness??? Afte a while i gt quite panicky abt hw late i was n so me, michelle n aaron took da bus. By da time i gt 2 masjid jamek it had stopped raining thank gudness. I keep forgetting 2 get an umbrella since my old one accidentally flew into the rubbish bin :S So i gt 2 church all sweaty n out of breath coz i practically ran ther. I knw, i knw at least i gt sum exercise. Dats wat joash wud hv said. bt one thing great finally happened. TASHA WAS BAK!!!! was freaking happy :D :D :D :D Neways we ony practiced da dance 4 a while then it was time 2 freshen up n get ready 4 da dance. i think on da whole i had quite a gud time considering i had a physics test da next day wich i was completely unprepared 4. Hehe neways too bad i had da test tho coz jamie n matt were going clubbing n i gt invited :( Since i finally turned 18 i dun hv 2 worry abt being caught n all. ANYWAY here r sum pics of dat nite afte wich i actually went home n studied physics..EEEWWWWW...





















Da next day was bak 2 carolling n it started off kinda horribly. Had an awful fite wit sis n stormed away frm da lrt station. They kinda left me n went 2 church. Felt absolutely horrible bt well, carolling ony happens wat, 3 or 4 days a year. So i decided 2 swallow my freaking pride n jz go 2 church myself. Gt a very worried call frm mum wen i reached masjid jamek n was walking alone 2 church. Even wen i gt 2 church, totally cudnt tahan ady. Jz ran 2 da toilet n da dam burst. Bt Tasha n Jamie totally made me feel betr la so by da time i gt out of da toilet it was time 2 leave ady. Lisa totally assaulted me wen i gt out :) i was totally touched dat she missed me as much as i missed her hehe. Then i saw his royal tallness oso ther. Was super shocked dat he finally came 2 church hehe. bt well i was touched wen he asked me if i was ok n all. As previously mentioned, its very hard 2 stay mad at reyhan :) In da bus me n sis were ok ady la. thanks 2 jamie n matt n freida it was over n dun wit quite quickly. afte dat it was all abt gossip n having a gud time!!! Da carolling spirit was bak n alive :D We had 9 houses on dat day i think. N my house was da last one 4 us 2 sing at. Tasha, Lisa n me were bak 2 our threesome-ness mood n we were together most of da time. Been a long time since dat was da case hehe. Neways Michelle n Leanne became new best buds n were wit da guys at da backseat mostly. Im sure joash was only too happy abt tiz afte da initial shock of nt being allowed 2 sit nex 2 da gurls hehe. We had an amazing time...most of da time dat is. Ther were sum alcohol related complications wich resulted in us nt seeing tony 4 da laz day of carolling. Since my siblings,me, lisa n reyhan had ady left b4 da lecture in da bus started, we din really get da full impact of da seriousness of da situation. it seems ther was pin drop silence in da bus afte Joyce finished da 'lecture'. boy am i glad i wasnt ther!!! Well since i wasnt ther 4 da tense ride bak 2 church, here r sum pics of da happier moments of da 2nd laz day of carolling.































Haihh....da laz day of carolling. we were all both excited n kinda sad dat it was approaching da end of carolling ady. neways me, sis, bro n keith (my cousin who slept over dat nite) decided 2 b lazy n miss 8.30 service. we gt 2 church in time 4 10.30 service tho. n we had a gud time coz we decided nt 2 serve n jz sat at da bak wit brian n leanne. Wow i kinda 4got wat its like 2 jz sit in da service n nt having 2 rush up wen da priest needs sumthing or i gotta do my duty n stuff :) i should try n do dat jz a LIL bit more often hehe. Neways me, mum, sis n Tasha went 2 bangsar 4 lunch afte dat. Aiyo had maggo goreng n mutton. fyi, its a very filling combination. bt since wen do we hv any problems eating rite??hehe well on dat particular day, since it was da laz day of carolling we decided 2 dress a lil nicely. tasha, sis n me were wearing dresses n we tried 2 call lisa 2 get her 2 dress up 2 bt she had ady left da hse :( Wen we gt bak 2 church frm lunch Vanessa had pity on us n lent me n tasha her laptop so we cud go on9 in our boredom hehe. Time jz flew by n pretty soon it was time 2 leave ady. Bt b4 we left we gt lecture on alcohol part 2 frm joyce. We gt pretty bummed afte it was over n hung around in da toilet 2 chill out so dat our carolling mood tak hilang la. I guess it kinda sorta worked coz we were ok afte dat. Neways shocking news of da nite : THEY MADE ME ENTER A LIVERPOOL PUB!!!!. I felt like dying frm inhaling 2 much liverfool air. GOSH ther were liverpool logos EVERYWHER!!! n wen we were dun singing, they played you never walk alone!!!! my ears were totally bleeding n i cudnt wait 2 get outta ther!! PHEW bt i survived....sumhow. Da best thing abt da nite was Auntie Jennifer's house la. Chocolate fountain, ais kacang, spaghetti....it was heaven :D:D:D:D but poor Edwin. He was our 'main' guitarist n played like 10 songs at da liverpool pub. afte dat he cudnt lift his arm anymore hehe. So wen we went 2 auntie jennifer's house tey totally piled all da fud on his plate n sent him 2 da dining table hehe. Lucky fellow...N in da absence of da main guitarist, guess who stepped up n started playing?? Mb i'll admit he's my brother after all..hehe big round of applause 2 JOASH!!! N he did a gud job too :) Well dun bro. U hv officially been accepted as a guitarist in da exclusice club hehe. Neways here r sum pics of da laz day.
