Merry (super belated) Christmas! Hahahaha.
On Christmas day itself, I had totally NO PLANS. Like at all. Yah, I loner, no friends.. Hahahaha seriously.
Thank God for Darren who invited me to go Suntec walk walk with his family, relatives and someone's wife-to-be (she's from new zealand O:). So we walk walk loh. Then Brandon and Darren bought Christmas presents for their parents! Oh and I used my first christmas present ehhh. The Starbucks voucher from Davelle. On caramel frapp heehee.
(Then halfway Bernice went into topshop and ask me to buy panties with her. 3 for $19 hahahaha. But both the guys (Darren and Brandon) asked, "Aiyoh buy for what. Not like anyone can see you in it right." So we didn't buy.)
Afterwards, we went to Gelare to sit down (for teatime? I don't know) and talk. I shared an ice lemon tea and waffle with strawberry icecream with Darren. Wah it's darn niceee loh. I love waffles from gelare. Oh then Bernice was sitting behind me and we took the christmas decorations.
My mama came to pick me up. Then we went for christmas mass :D
For dinner, we went to a North Indian restaurent called Vansh near the singapore indoor stadium there. The food is darnnn nice but also very expensive. The waiter guy darn cute loh. He has this indiany accent then the whole time my mom didn't understand what he was saying. After eating, they gave us a feedback form, ask us to fill up. One of the questions was : What should we do to make your dining experience here in Vansh more memorable? I wrote, "Make waiters dance." You know why, cause the songs they play are all indiany and very dancey that type mah. So if they dance while serving the food, won't people want to go there again? I know, I'm a genius. Then my mom added, "If next time we come again and they really dance, we should write feedback again and ask them to sing." Haahahha.
This was the first day of Christmas for me.
On the second day of christmas, also no plans. But thanks to Darren again, I went to Dhoby Ghaut there to see photoshoot. Think his brother needed it for his portfolio. Then afterwards they also took a family portrait. Marcus was using my handphone the whole time to play the "Petz" game. Then he kept asking me questions "Valencia, why this one...", "Valencia, "can the pet do this or not..". Hahahah but he's so cuteee. Oh and I found out there was such a thing as Soya Icecream. Marcus enjoys it, Darren enjoys it, Bernice and Brandon both enjoy it, so why don't I? It's like so weird loh I feel.
Then Darren and I left at 5+ to go eat dinner. We walked to Cathay and ate XXL Chicken. Heehee so nice loh it's my favourite chicken. We wanted to watch a movie but all the movies were at 7+ then I had to go home by nine. So we didn't. Oh then we wanted to check the movie timings of other movie theatres so we went 7-eleven see the newspaper. But somehow couldn't find. Then when we walked out, I saw Jing! I was like waving in her face then she still blurblur one. Hahah then when we walked out to the road there, Darren saw his friend! Darn coincidental loh.
So we went to walk at Park Mall. Chey, nothing to walk one loh. All furniture. But one shop got nice clocks. Then the whole time we were playing on the escalators, like see how long he can lift himself up cause it's the narrow narrow kind of escalators. Hahahah darn gay lah. On the ground level, got Watsons. So we went there to check out the pimple creams and nail polish, heh heh. Didn't buy anything. But then we went to the Noodle House to eat noodles! It's not bad luh. Wah then eat until very full.
Took train home. Then I dragged him to go eat "tao huay" with me. Hahaha so nice loh, then can make your skin smooth (that's what my mom told me lah). Then he walked me home and went home himself.
This was my second day of Christmas.
On the third day of Christmas, I slacked at home and watched tv. Then I went for evening mass in church. After mass, we went to eat at SGCC. Mmm, good food. Very long never eat there already. Then went home.
The third day of Christmas.
Shit luh, school's going to start sooon = waking up early in the morning, loads of homework, extra lessons, cca, not enough sleep, studying RAHHHHH. And O levels! Omg I'm so not ready for this cann.
Crap.

Hoorah, I've decided to blog.
Been doing loads of things and loads of things to look forward to. Don't know they're in what order so I shall just list them out.
1) Toa Payoh driving range with Darren, Brandon, Marcus and their parents. The food that Aunty cooked is darn good loh! Well, at least better than my mom's hahaha. I played pick-up-sticks with Marcus and Aunty in the office-y looking room while the rest played golf.
2) Out with Group 5! Went to Plaza Sing to watch Bolt. Awesomest movie ever. I love Rhino the hamster :D Then afterwards, Denise had to go home.
The rest of us went Clarke Quay. Hahaha we got scammed by the aunty at the mrt. She made us pay $4.80 for a bag of chips O: Walked around Central but we couldn't find the Singapore River D: So Jing and I bought Starbucks (Caramel and Vanilla frapp) and went to Burger King. I know, we're cool like that. After that, we walked around somemore and somehow managed to find the river! Took loads of gay photos. Then we went home.
Where is LunBei!
Singapore River.
Hoho I'm darn tall can!
See, I do it wayy better than them.
3) Out with Darren to watch Twilight. Hahaha the best part of the day was lunch. We bought loads of food man. XXL Chicken, Happy ricebox, the Jap rice thing and the dno what super famous Kungfu milktea. Mmm... Then afterwards we walked the whole Fashion fair. There was pretty nail polish and earrings. But they didn't have the pair I wanted D:
4) Out with my mom and Godma. Bought super lot of clothes, spent like $300 O: Ate at some super awesome chicken rice place. Oh and went bugis to do christmas shopping also!
5) Couldn't wake up for mass in the morning on sunday, so my mom and I went for the evening one. Then have Christmas lightup in church! Real pretty. Had countdown eh. Then when the lights came on, the Ministry of Bells started jingling out songs with BELLS! Then little kiddies in front started singing out-of-tunely to the "Jingle Bell" and "Santa Claus is coming to town".
6)Went to mom's office. Had lunch at this super cool restaurant called Curry Flavor. Darn good. Then my mom's colleagues climbed on the tables and chair in the office to lift up the ceilings to put the phoneline. Darn funny! Here's a picture.
7) Christmas party today! Met Jingo at amk then took 74 to Island Creamery. 2 scoops of icecream each, mind you (Banana&ReversO, VeryBerry&BurntCaramel)! Then we walk walk around in the building cause waiting for 6pm to come.
Then took bus down to Tessarina stop. Xiwen walked us in. Wah, very long walk loh! But it was worth it. The house is darnnn nice and big! Have swimming pool know. & some hut outside! Like seriouslyseriously, wow.
Played icebreakers, exchanged presents, christmas play & food! We ate small garlic breads with tomato on top, homemade pizza, potato salad and RAVIOLI. Didn't eat dessert.. but it looked real cool. Got raspberry one.
Then took bus back to amk. Jing and I were hungry so we dropped at macs for friesss :D I took the last bus home at 11.30pm. Reached home at 12+. And I'm blogging now :D No pics, sorry. Maybe can grab from Xiwen.

We're back!
GOLD, baby. 95.16 (go buy 4D)! Top in category.
Vienna and Bratislava were great. Even greater with a group like mine (GROUP 5!). Our favourite words? "Freak you!" Our favourite song? "Oh, Lunbei is from China!" They're all just really great people.
(Koped from jing)
M stands for Mayshuen aka Maymay (for me luh, for the others is shuenie) who always go, "sharp, flat, no chord, out of tune (sorry jingo I'm lazy)!" Perfect pitchh man.
D stands for Denise aka Deedee who got sick during the trip. Darn poor thing know. She puked her guts out everytime she tried to eat. In the end she was rushed to the hospital. But we still had good times talking and bitching hohoho.
J stands for jingo who I nicknamed BAIMEI cause she's so white! She's the best, I tell you. I roomed with her. We strip in front of each other, take retarded pictures (of which one was in our black tights and class jackets O:) and go crazy all the time.
V stands for Valencia (me, duhh) aka Leryee or if Jing was to write this, Xiao Ler Ler. Thanks a lot! Hahah it was darn gay.
L stands for Lunbei aka Loony! Haha she was the one who started with "Freak you!". And the song is about her too. She really isn't from china. She's the most act cute, most teh person ever but at the same time, she's the cheemest also. She uses words we have never heard in our lives. And she's only sec 1!
W stands for Wuen Nee aka Neenee. Hahha she an awesome person because she gave me heat pack. You see those who never give me heat pack, you're not awesome! She's also an expert at social graces (how to drink soup properly and stuff) and pro at spitting! When she speaks german, it has that extra oomph.
Tadaa, this is group 5. They are the awesomest people in the world I tell you. I would have never imagined myself getting close to them before the trip you know. All the sneaking back to their rooms, exchanging rooms, cup noodles parites, meal times, inside jokes.. I guess we just clicked really well together.
We went to loads of beautiful places, super nice and scenic places, the sound museum (where lynette was so pro at playing the piano), palaces.. Wow. It's just so amazing. And the christmas markets were wonderful too. Burgers bigger than your face, hot chocolate, shopping for random wooden cats.. I'll miss that a lot. And the never-ending cold wind blowing in your face the whole time, how it gets dark at around 5 and it makes you want to sleep. Hahahha.
For the competiton, we sang in the archbishop's palace. The acoustics were the bomb and made our sakura so goosepimple-y. However the performances outside weren't that great. Next time, we shall be more PROFESSIONAL! Consistency is the key. Let's do it! Just do it with Nike swoosh (not tick, as Mr Wong says).
Ok pictures pictures. I shall upload the nicer ones only.



So much smoke!

River river.


Jing being extra in my awesome picture.
PALACEE. I live here.
Christmas market!



Windmills on my mind.


BRATISLAVAAAA!

Another palace which we couldn't go into because it was being renovated! D: but we walked around on the outside :D



See Denise?
The castle!




Nice righttt!















Castle before, castle after.

Upside-down pyramid!







There are still a lot of pictures but I'm bored already. Another day loh.
I shall end with this.
Right outside our Bratislava Hotal Junior is the lake.
