Christmas Post

Monday, December 25, 200610:54 PM
well well, it's that time of the year again isn't it? christmas, the day when presents come out of stockings, well words of wishing and blessing depart our acid-lined mouths for one single day. also the day when certain newspapers unanimously decide that it's time no longer to report the news, drat.
but moving on, here in the sunny lil isle of singapore, it's not exactly the powdery white snow descending upon us. more likely it's the large dollops of water,a.k.a rain, that's been deluging, and to certain extents spoiling the festive season, and definitely plans for the holidays.
but then again, depsite all the hassle of getting gifts, and for me, thinking of what to get - cumulating in not getting anything due to too much time being spent on thinking, it's all good to give, and also to receive, but it's still the thought that matters most in the end.
and as such, i can't say how glad i am to be in this cell, well..that may be pushing things a bit, for i'm now ALUMNI, and hence maybe not definitively in this cell, but still glad, and somethings just don't change with time. for one, i hated not being able to join you gals for the play today (i say gals because i don't really think any guys went) because of an incessant, inherent communication breakdown that seemingly runs throughtout my family, ah the wonders...
and for two, being expressionally-challenged, writing cards isn't a forte to be proud of. but i'll try my best to muster up some certain words to a few special people in my life, bear with me, here goes -
To:
Rach- she of the mighty brainpower, believeth that the pen is mightier than the sword,for a simple poke can produce ink, and swords don't produce anything anyways. but work hard next year, vj's particularly stressful, according to my co-leader, cos frankly, if there's anyone who can solve some funny algebraeic question involving vectors and trigo and whatnot, it'll probably be you. since you travel so much, i do as the japanese do, you never know where you'll be heading after S.Africa - gambatte!
Tiffy- let's start with this, i've said it before and i'll say it again, still one of the meekest, and most explosive people i know, but that's a good thing, since you're in mass comm. radio should be a cinch (think its spelt this way) for you. as far as charisma goes, shouldn't be a problem too, once you get erm..excited and your volume goes up..heh..let's just say it's dy-na-MITE.
Charlene- i didn't think you'd like me calling you char, since that's like singe/roast, but never mind that now. the karate kid of our cell, ye of the mighty justice, thou that wieldeth the law and physical enforcer of..err..stuff. =p not sure where you're going next year, but you'll definitely be able to hold your own, and no matter what obstacles that be in your way, i'm sure you'll be able to hack your way through. you a fighter girl, and steely determination gets people places.PS: i love puns =D
Karen-hello pseudo mummy, i know you don't come online often/read this blog, but i thought to myself, if there wasn't one for you,it'd be too empty. i know i like teasing you a lot, and we've had our problems before, but all that is past, and i'm glad there's someone like you out there watching over me. so all in one short word, thanks.
Louisa & Denise-i'm pretty sure, 90% to be exact that you two don't really come here, but i'm trying not to miss anyone out, specially since you belong in this group of special people. first and foremost, i don't know you two very well, but to be certain, it's been an honor knowing two more beautiful people. for loui, continue to work hard next year, and i'm sure you'll definitely make it with god, and i certainly hope the new year ushers in good tidings upon you two.PS: it's obvious i love puns isn't it?
Shu Hua-yet another vj-cian..oo la-la, and yet again, chances of you coming here isn't too high, but never mind that agin, let the festivities continue. yet another one blessed with overwelming smarts, work hard next year, and it's been great knowing you.
Wen Ying-ah yes, the girl with the nice eyes, something i'll never forget since joel keeps drilling that into me, but still it's true. i hope christmas's been good for you, and that you'll continue growing in god in every way, and shine for him.
Alitan-you'll probably hate me for calling you that=p.hehe,but it's been very long, i don't know if you even read this blog,and i know you've moved church,but all the same,you were a part of this cell,and still are to me(since i left before you anyways).it's been great knowing you,very fun,very interesting,and very hilarious.you're really sweet, god bless =)
AliHo-another one who'll hate me for that name,haha.it's been a tough year for you,definitely,but be strong ok?remember, god's all that we need, although we lose focus of that at times, he is the provider and giver of all things, and things we lose are those he takes back, maybe because we don't need them, it wasn't meant to be for us, or it simply wasn't good enough for us.he loves us, and that's all we need to know that we're beautiful,because if HE thinks so,who can disagree?so i hope you'll brave the future, and like rudolph, light up the misty world =)
Phina-now you're not in this cell,but who cares right?it feels like you are anyways.one way or another, i think i know a lot abt you, even though i only just met you this year. it was sometime in april/may if i remember correctly, so the timeline is kinda screwed up, frankly because you don't grow so close in such a short space of time right?but heck, it's been a rollercoaster of emotions, your emotions..haha..but it's been fun. weird at times, frustrating at times, but still it's great. next year you're gonna be a leader, which will, trust me, add a whole new level of stress to your life, so if there's anything you need, as always, my phone is always on,but the reply service isn't from erratic times in the night to 6am in the morn..haha..take care, and god bless =)
Rena-definitely one of the cornerstones of this cell, without question. up till now, i still think you've got one of the nicest names ever, its got this sweet, calm ring to it(hence the name i guess). it's the a's next year, and it's only beginning to get a lot tougher. it's been hard on you this year, having to cope with the demands of being a leader, the demands of school, of choir and also the stress of your previous accomplishments. as i've said before, i'll always be there if you need me, to listen to your problems or difficulties, but like vintage wine, things only get better with time, and i'm sure you'll be able to cope with all these, and more this coming year, with greater experience and wisdom. no matter what, god's blessings don't change, his cmiracles don't either, and so you are,and always will be a great leader, blessed with a great voice and character. born an angel of god,always an angel of god, amen and god bless =)
Jo-the moron 'brother' of mine.in a world where i'm so unable to open up from this shell of mine,i find someone who i feel i can trust. so if words could express what i've got to say to a guy whom i consider my best friend, it'd have to be 'thanks from the bottom of my heart'
Nard-you're another guy whom i feel i can trust, and thanks for being there with all the msn chats and all. it's been really cool, and i sincerely hope you make it to tp, and acheive your dream, for the both of us, one of us has got to do it. take care and peace out =)
now..i think i'm done..it's kinda messed up now, with some missing names from the guys, but i don't write much for guys anyways..so, sorry for hogging this much space, i know the pics look better.Merry christmas to all, and to all a good night.God bless us all, amen.-wiw-
