*christmas felt like real for the first time



the above title says it all, doesnt it? probably cos its the first ever time i've spent a festive occasion with my friends. okay maybe not a festive occasion, but an eve of one? i hope its still counted anyway.
and... its just amazing how my friends gave me a different outlook on christmas, and they are so influential, i think im enjoying and lovin' christmas for the first ever time truthfully.(although its only the eve) also.. i think of bugis in a whole new different way now. its not the place to neo, shop, watch movies, no. it was the place where people could relate to one another in many many different ways. through clothes, food, games, whatever. and thats how much its worth to spend so much on travelling to get to that place, cos the people make the place lovable, and not vice versa.
so yes. cheers to nyc!

and the main reason was - the first official outing of ny choristers. loyee, darling leting, tze hui and me. and so, i got up at 7.30 to fetch leting to the MRT. and seriously, i still cant believe she doesnt know how to get there.LOL. but we had a great nice chat on the way to newton mrt and to bugis. more like a giggly chat. haha. but once we stepped onto bugis mrt's platform, lots of bizarre situations occurred. like this really really REALLY unbelievable thing happened, and a GREAT example is of how i got to notice loyee at the mrt station. when we tapped our ezlinks, i suddenly breathed so deep and gasped, froze and pointed to something familiar. someone i mean. and leting, according to what she said, froze like me too. and to me, it was like the whole world stop moving, except that whom i was pointing at with no direction. and i actually was thinking. "who is that? shes soooo familiar." and after about 5 minutes of total silence, i finally shrieked, "LOYEE!!!" hahaha. then i spotted tze hui and four of us walked to bugis mall(?).

and our first destination was the cinema ticketing booth to buy alvin and the chipmunks movie tickets, then we walked around. first to bugis street. and it was really awkward, well thats what i felt. because loyee seemed as if she could walk a hundred miles per minute while leting tzehui and i were lagging behind. and tzehui was literally pushing all of us so that we dont look we're playing the 老鹰捉小鸡 game. haha. next stop, was outside of BGM(right?). then we window-shopped for quite a while. but it was really embarrassing, cos quite a few salesgirls caught us. but we got away, like so naturally. haha.

the next stop was the arcade. surprising how ppl like us could visit that horrible banging place, but we did. and i practically donated $4 to those nonsensical machines. but it was really worth it. and i like the basketball game the best. (now i know what you mean, cass!) but i shot one ball out and it almost killed me, while leting shot multiple balls out of that net thingo and one hit me straight in my face. haha. and there was this car thing, which could come to life, cos it was moving like how i was moving in the car race, so when i banged, it jerked. trust me, you have to try that.

this is the only picture i have. captured it while leting and loyee were banging drums aimlessly. haha.

and after all those exhaustion plus continuous screamings, we went to mos burger. where we chatted for an hour. about many many things. like examining contact lenses, hearing things wrongly, listen to leting's sickkkk jokes and so on. even though it was just plain talking and sitting still, yes it was fun. :D

it was the ultimate must-go place next. the neoprint shop! we screamed a whole lot. and didnt know what the neoprint machine was talking about, so we posed when we didnt have to, and didnt when we needed to. so we practically looked (and sounded like) a bunch of lunatics. but the neoprints turned out fine. and nice:D

and it was time for alvin and the chipmunks. i made my sore throat worse by gobbling up popcorn and nachos, with some last minute sip of pepsi. and i almost fell asleep in the theatre although the show was really cute and nice what with all those joyous squeaky voices in a melody.

next... we went to this shop called shibuya(leting screamed her wits out) and there we bought a christmas sock for loyee:D hope you like it! and we walked around somemore. then tzehui had to go home so we escorted her to the mrt station, where we seperated without a HUG. and i was like."oh man! we didnt give her a hug." and leting said,"oh realy? wanna call her back? anyway i think shes gone already." so there goes the hug. oh well.

after that three of us wanted to stop by at tcc but even the drinks were shockingly unaffordable so we changed venue, mccafe, where there wasnt a spot left enough to stand, so we finally found a place in the food court. loyee drank ice lemon tea, while leting and i had ice milo and an addition of honey dew for me, which dropped on the floor due to my clumsiness. and there was another non-stop giggling talk.

at about 5.30, we headed for mrt and talked somemore, till i left at ych and loyee shouted something out of the mrt. "must bring ah!" oh and thanks for not saying what i must bring. haha. and yeah, went home.

thanks guys for the amazing day, cos you've just made up the best christmas i've ever had. i love you guys, more for this Christmas and forever. <3
