Christmas!

Yesterday had a department celebration in the morning at a condo near bukit panjang plaza. Arrived there at 7.30 am to unload the props, set up the decorations, arrange the chairs and rehearse the skit before the actual celebration which starts at 9.30 am. Was very tired coz only slept 4 hours the night before. The celebration was quite well organised and it was rather enjoyable. Took some photos using my digicam too. We played some games and ate some food. There was also a christmas gift exchange and i got a gift from Daryl who bought chocolates for me. I bought Junchen a cute little egg litter bin. The event ended at 11.30 am and we spent half an hour to remove all the decorations and move all the chairs and tables back to the original positions. Went back home after that.

Met my sec sch friends at Chinatown later in the afternoon coz we wanted to go somewhere less crowded than Orchard area and they wanted to buy some cheap chinese cds. Took them to the cheap cd store and CK department store. We waited at Mac for another friend to arrive and headed to the open air hawker centre for dinner. The servings were quite small and we kind of regretted going there. Headed to check out the prices of KTV and were turned off immediately (at least $20 per person). We decided to go Orchard to play pool. Took quite a lot of photos outside PS before going monster cue at Meridien. We were quite lucky to get a table considering the amount of people there. My lack of sleep seemed to affect my superb skill that night, haha. Nevertheless, we played for 3 hours and had our countdown in the entertainment center. Left at 12.10 am to check out if there are any events or happenings outside, but all we got is childish teenagers carrying "snowflakes" and confetti spray running around and spraying innocent people. I was really pissed when someone sprayed it on the left side of my face. Was wearing contact lenses and felt kind of worried about it getting into my eyes as i was afraid it would contaminate the lenses. It was still really crowded and quite a lot of policemen were patrolling the area. Went to another open-air hawker centre beside Specialist Shopping Centre for supper. The food is really expensive there. The cheapest is $3.50 chicken rice while most are priced at $4 and above. Don't go there and waste your money people. Headed for home after that feeling really tired.

Met up with Liyuan and Daryl today to watch Ocean's 12 at Choa Chu Kang. Daryl came around 15 minutes late for the movie (serves him right for being "time-conscious") but we went into the theatre first and passed the ticket to him when he arrived. The sound system there was bad and a wind sound was constantly coming out from the speakers. Almost fell asleep during the beginning of the movie. Had nothing to do in CCK after the movie and everyone left for home. Went Orchard again in the evening to watch Nobody Knows with my best friend. The movie is really good and i even teared during the heartwrenching moments. By the way, the 14 year old boy who acted in that movie won Best Actor for Cannes Film Festival this year, defeating reigning champ Tony Leung. Everyone should watch that movie. Definitely one of my best movies this year. Went Mac for supper, missed the last train back home and took a night rider instead.
