Christmas!!!

hey everyone!! i'm back!! my trip back was enjoyable, a fond memory that will stay with me... I'm already missing everyone back there!! My graduation was a blast!! it was so much fun.. and having all of my friends there cheering when we got on stage was so cool... in fact think we were the loudest ones there!! hahaha... and I believe the holiday was also good for my parents cos it gave them a time to relax and they didn't have to worry about anything at all but just enjoy themselves.. =)

coming back to sg and enjoying the christmas here... i took a walk with min down to orchard... IT WAS SO PACKED!!!! It's been a long long while since I've had to squeeze along the pavements between so many people.. but the events happening was a good thing to have... hearing the carols and the worship and evangelistic songs and performances being done all along the street was an inspiring sight to behold.

I also had a good time spending the christmas weekend with min with friends and her family as well.. =)

Anyways, the new year is coming... gotta have to start looking for work... that's the sad part.. but hope that I'll be able to get a good job that I can stay with... =)

OH BTW, PHOTOS ARE UP!!! I've just uploaded heaps of photos on pixum, so check them out there!! To one and all, have a blessed Christmas and a prosperous New Year in God!!

Life's Little Pleasures...

The cool breeze on a hot summer's day,
The feel of the sun when you're at the beach,
Sleeping in when its raining,
Splashing water to beat the heat,
Having a cold shower on a hot day and vice versa.

The feel of the fretboard of your dream guitar,
Hearing others sing in tune,
The favourite song of your favourite band.

$2 chicken rice,
The pain of chilli,
Friends calling you for supper,
Having supper.

Getting your hair cut,
Getting your hair cut and washed for $10,
Going home and washing your hair after a hair cut.

Holding the hand of your beloved.

PS: This is not a poem.. at least i didn't make it that way.. hehehehe.. its just little facts that came to my mind today...
