Gd bye 2005, welcome 2006!

Woah! It's been so long since I've blogged or even surfed the net! Thanks to a heavy downpour, my modem got busted and starhub had such "efficient" service! So it was no-internet for more than a week.

There are so many things to blog about since before Christmas so I'll just summarise. On Christmas eve, I had Christmas dinner lunch with my family. It was church service and plenty of messaging on Christmas. The next few days were the worst of my holidays (won't go into detail here) until the 30th. I went for a BBQ organised by the badminton team for Mdm Wan. It was meant as a farewell party since Mdm Wan was leaving but in the end, she couldn't make it. I saw my ex-coach and he said I'd put on weight (ok hold it! Is that good or bad?). Anyway, Jo invited me to her church chalet at Aloha Changi yesterday and I was deliberating on whether to go to the chalet to spend the last few moments of year 2005 OR to go shopping with sis and KOREAN friend and have authentic KOREAN food prepared by her friend. So tempting! But in the end, I decided to go to the chalet. The good part, I had LOTS of fun. The bad part, I missed the korean food and the last episode of my korean show! *Almost burst out crying* The best part, my sis got the VCD for that show and many other korean shows. ^______^ So about the chalet, it was really cool. I met Jo and relatives first, and then we set off. Jo's cousins and niece and nephew from Perth came down. They were really friendly and fun to hang around with and they speak SO NICELY!!! Cool accent...woohoo! Shanice (Jo's niece) is 11 and taller than me (fine, go ahead and laugh if that makes you happy). Clinton (the nephew) is 16 and like 1.8? HAHAHA...who's laughing now?? *sticks out tongue* Ok, so we played the amazing race, Jenga, hide and seek catching, cards, captains ball and so on. We had a BBQ. And we watched anime almost the whole night through. Shanice didn't stay overnight but Clinton did. So this morning, Jo's very kind parents fetched us back to have lunch and sent me home. It was 1pm. I could have caught the repeat of the last episode of said Korean show but as my family was in church (and you don't expect my dogs to unlock the gate do you?), not forgetting the wet weather, I couldn't enter or climb over the gate. So, it was 'goodbye and hi again' to Jo, her parents and Clinton. I hopped back into the car and went to Jo's house. We watched performances by Green day (Clinton's CD), and erm...one slightly uncensored show and My Sassy Girl. Then we had dinner afterwhich we continued playing cards and chatting. Clinton and Shanice taught us new card games. Everything about them's cool, down to their dressing, speaking, style, appetite dah dah dah... Hehehe! It's so cool being an immigrant! Out of Singapore of course! Talking about 'immigrant', we were immitating russell peters in the chalet too...LOL!! Ahh aiight. That's 'bout it. G'day mate!
