Take your candle, go light your world

The night of Christmas Eve was spent at Kharloo’s church. I think it was a pretty unforgettable experience because it was our first time attending a candle-lighting service! The entire hall became dark at the count of three and we started to light up our candles shortly. It was a spectacular moment, and it reminded us of our Year2002 theme song, GO Light Your World. I guess it would have been so much fun if Mrs Lee had allowed us to light up the candles while singing our much-loved theme song before moving on to PL Kedash.

I attempted to  take an artistic picture of my brightly-lited candle but to no avail. I’m still trying very hard to improve my mediocre  photography skills :) 敬请期待!

今年的圣诞节,我过得特别开心。不是因为收到了很多礼物,也不是因为收到了许多圣诞卡片,但今年的圣诞节却洋溢着一种幸福的感觉! 那时因为我与它又重逢了!虽然它最后逃不过命运的安排、命丧黄泉,但它起码曾经备受瞩目,深得我们的青睐。这是“命案”发生现场。加东—我们又来了!

katong!

这就是美味可口、香味扑鼻,让你无法抗拒的美食!加东加沙!我无法自拔,狼吞虎咽地把它给吃下肚!

[It is most unfortunate that this photo doesn't do much justice to the mouth-watering Katong Laksa! But it's really worth trying! It's at least on par with NUS's YoungTaoFoo Laska!]

享用完美食后,我们决定到姑婆家,拜访她老人家!姑婆的家真是美轮美奂,简直是个世外桃源!妈妈常告诉我姑婆对她的恩惠,她希望能在姑婆有生之年好好地孝敬她,以免子欲养而亲不在。

这是阿姨与姑婆的合照! 她们说姑婆和外婆张得非常相像,你觉得呢?

happy family

这是我可爱的外婆!

dearest ahma

虽然外婆不太喜欢对着镜头笑,但她心中却充满了对子孙们满满的爱意。希望您在那里过得很好,很好。

When I look into the mirror of time

I just smile at memories I find.

Life after exams has been pretty enjoyable! Yes, I say it from the bottom of my heart! It was a time of jolly-good fun and gatherings with the lovelies! Oh well, LTC tried something new this time round! Instead of meeting up for a meal at some restaurants or fast food outlets, we had a picnic! It was so much fun and wallet-friendly!

Heres our yummy share of food! Yes, I know they don’t look exactly appetizing, but they’re delicious!

yummy!

Here’s sihui-the-ape finishing the green bean soup prepared by SERENE’s mother! (how can it be serene!)            YUMMY YUMMY! Apart from the good food, we had some nice music in the background too! Theres a band at the back and we were unfortunately the only audience around!

sihui!

 just then, SAG walked past! notice pris’s facial expression! HMM, on second thought, I think she’s love-sick!

pris,sihui and ry

It was as usual, a time of camwhoring after feasting on good food! Here’s our uncle pose! The background looks pretty enchanting! Don’t you think so? It appears as though we’re posing for some posters!

UNCLE UNCLE!
这是我们和大榴莲的合照!Yes, we were the tourists for the day! :) Although we’ve been living on the little island for 19 years, we never realised how beautiful our city could be until that day! It was an amazing experience!
 esplanade!

We walked all the way from Esplanade to this really familiar place! It was the place where we assembled for the military history fieldtrip! Coincidentally, Pris’s prof brought them on a fieldtrip and they even went to the same location as we did! We were bewildered at the professors’ enthusiasm for fieldtrips!  Well, I didnt enjoy the first fieldtrip, perhaps due to the bad weather and the nature of the topic! Or perhaps, it was due to the walking! We walked all the way from city-hall to fort-canning! Climbed the stairs and conqured the steep slopes! It was kinda disastrous! I think I enjoyed the second fieldtrip(the one to Changi Museum) more! Well, I guess the reason behind was the interesting scope of discussion! Or maybe, it was because the second fieldtrip was a bus-assisted one and we get to sit&sleep on the air-con bus!HAHA! Ok, I’m digressing! Heres the picture we took with the WorldWar One memorial!

WW1 memorial
I had the opporutunity to gain a deeper insight about WorldWar One during my JC days while studying the poems by Wilfred Owen. I guess I prefer looking at issues and stuff with the “literature-mind” instead of the “historical-mind”. (Though that means being a little sentimental and irrational) Literature allows us to feel and to express, but history doesnt. Thats something I realised after comparing the stuff I learnt about WW1 in JC and and in the university. What a stark contrast. Alright, back on the track again! Here are some pictures during tea-break and dinner!
Dearest Pris, the one infront of you is just but a little strawberry. It’s not SAG! waves waves*

And heres ah-meng!

 Can you spot the difference?

sihui the ape

It was a fruitful day I suppose! I wonder how many of such gatherings would come our way before Pris leaves Singapore!

Met up with Kong and Belize on the following day! We’ve been teasing ade for 6 long  years! over the same issue, the same topic—Long- body- short -leg- kong- zhai- xia! It’s definitely a source of amusement! HAHA! Presenting to you:

DKFCP and the 2 civil servants by her side! Kong smiling blissfully, thinking of DK!

Ser says we look alike! Do we?

serene and ruoyi

Thats about it for the moment! Kong promised to give us a ride around her neighbourhood but we’re still waiting!

We had our long awaited PL Gang gathering a few days ago! Let the pictures do the talking! :)                                                Heres Osama sister with yq and shar!

失眠的夜

看见她,我就会想起她,想起她们,想起了许多陈年往事。我真的以为自己已经彻底地把过去的一切都放下了,起码我曾经努力地尝试过。但遇见她所产生的后遗症又出现了。
失眠的夜。
失眠的夜是恐怖的。失眠的夜是冷清的。
失眠的夜能让你回忆起往事,失眠的夜能让你思潮起伏。

因为当初的时光是美好的,所以才会有今日的悲伤。
因为当时的友情是纯洁的,所以才会有今朝的遗憾。
But Wiston churchill said “if you’re going through hell, keep going”. So come on and get going!
And so, the lyrics of this particular song just flashed through my mind,
“so forget about the past and look ahead.
set your eyes on him and see his love shine through, believe the father has the best installed for you”
I think it’s beautifully written! I shall sing this song on the 23rd of December! (looks grossly at diana! waves*hello*)
doubyxchange!
anyway, had a good gathering today! It was a funny gathering! We havent been meeting since yan’s birthday! Really grateful for such wonderful time spent!
