It's gonna be a super-duper long post. Because it's...

CHRISTMAS!!

Christmas 07 was a really tiring Christmas. Activities and preparations, all packed back-to-back. There's practically NO time for Christmas shoppings and writing of Christmas cards!

Nonetheless, Christmas 07 was really fun. It was my first Christmas with nusc3, and for many of them, it's their first Christmas with the nus sub-d. It was lots of fun, staying overnight at carrie's, drinking BAILEY's, gift exchanging, caroling together, and everything. :)



Reindeer's horns!
It was fun preparing for the pre-xmas event with Liyi, Liping and Jalea. Sea cucumber and chicken feet were disgusting! Weikang, yilin and jiawei joined us too.




zz is scary reindeer.




They just wouldn't let me talk to my bf. LOL.




Xmas Service at the Rock Auditorium. Sleeping Beauty... Eh, wake up leh!




zz was the PRINCE!




Chill at menotti.




Caroling! I was invited to conduct again. I wonder why. Seriously, i've never been through conducting lessons and had only two pathetic years of choir experience in primary school! Oh well, i just did my best with my not-pro-act-pro conducting.




Don't you think that Edmund looks like... Mr Athens?!
I can imagine him running at Athens with the Olympic torch. Haha.




Countdown to Christmas. Cheers!




SL thrown.




Huanyan looks happy. Lol.
(Junyao's right at the bottom.)



Caroling Group Photos.
Take ONE.



Take TWO.



Take THREE.

(Can tell that i'm tired of posing.)



Christmas 07. Fun, tiring, eventful. Got to know new people like xiaoyu and weikang. Got to sing alot with guanrui, liping, minchen, and basically everyone. Got to spend more time with caregroup people. Learned the joy of fellowship service.

Pulau Ubin 091207: Part TWO



Part II.
We trekked along Chek Jawa.


I'm quite a nature person actually. Until my love for arts overtook that for sciences. I enjoy biology. Cell organization, fungi, trees and all. So actually i looked forward to the chek jawa trip. And took many pictures along the way.



(1) Guild House (i think).
(2) Trees (duh).
(3) Small boy in poncho.
(4) Beautiful World.




(1) Guanrui drew a map to explain where we were.
(2) Act cool lah.
(3-4) Before & After.



『無間道』翻版之『無聊道~!!』





(1) Nice lamp huh?
(2) 一支小雨傘。
(3) i like this pic. Claramae + Benaiah.
(4) Shuyi's Mickey Mouse poncho.








It's a tiny island off another tiny island. Wah.




Swamps. Stinks of algae and seaweed.




Do you drown?




(2) A well. (The rest don't need explaining lah hor.)




(1) Notice the long trail up the hill. It's a long staircase.
(2) Some structure you can climb up to see the scenery.
(3) Swamps. Notice the long trail of tiny people. That's some of us!
(4) Roots in mangrove swamps.



After the long hours of cycling and trekking, it's DINNER TIME.
but i was so hungry i ate everything up without taking pics of the food.
And the food was surprisingly very good.



Photos up the wall. A small simple restaurant in pulau ubin, filled with pride of its own.




Tiring day.




PRAWNS~!! i LOVE prawns.
Cholesterol levels can go and shoot itself.




Erm... "Yay".




Going back mainland.








Benaiah acting emo. Hoot.




Woohoo. This is 3D2N on Superstar Virgo i tell you.




Erm, Virgo Cruise part II.




And who else, but the Superstar Virgo Cruise Captain!






So marks the end of the tons of photos from Ubin trip 2007.


My thoughts and feelings. Hmmm, the weather didn't go well with us. There were some two or three showers. And that dampened our mood quite a lot. I kept wondering to myself, "How many godly men does it take to stop the rain?"

One, if God-willing.



Pulau Ubin is a tiny island. Everything seems simpler there.
Eat durians. Play with stray dogs.
Go fishing. Watch local drama serials.
It's cool for a retreat. But i can't imagine living there. 24/7, on a tiny island. Can you?



I suppose we're all made for something greater.





P/S: Thanks tons to all who planned for this post-exams celebration. It's very well done. =D

time for some gary related stuff.



Some time ago, gary wrote a song for genie.
He claimed it as 『繼「背叛」後他最滿意的抒情歌曲』
When i listen to this song, i'd try to imagine how would gary sing it.

Psst. Gary will record his version of this song in his Cantonese album. Yays!



Gary + A Mei = 一眼瞬間

If you ask me, i think that 蕭敬騰 focuses too much on his singing techniques, and lacks chemistry with A Mei. It's like they're singing their own stuff. Okay, maybe i'm biased. I WANT GARY TO DUET WITH A MEI. lols.
p/s: Gary was sick when he sang with A Mei, so it wasn't his best. Pardon him.



One of gary's new song. 『無辜』





P/S: Gary's new album is releasing in January!!!

Yay!

Cycling...
