Christmas Weekend - 24th

Super awesome weekend. Cant believe i just got to meet up with people whom i cared for and have great friendships with!!

24th Dec Thursday Half day
After work, i went to watch Avatar with my parents at the Cathay House. Luckily Alvin helped me buy the tickets the night before else it would have sold out long before i have time to buy. =) Thank you Alvin!! The movie is super duper awesome. I really topics about the fragile mother earth and how to the whole biodiversity is really precious. Each animal and plant and insect is unique and beautiful in their own way. We shld not destroy their natural habitat in order to provide resources for our own selfish comfortable lifestyle. I'm sure there is some kind of way to conserve the balance. Yes so we watched the 3D version and wow! Love the glow-in-e-dark plants and insects. Love the way the 'mimosa' shrink when the main character touched it. Love the way the put the message across that we r now destroying something so special n beautiful for the sake of wealth and power. (some mineral mine is below the inhabitant's giant tree home so they have to chase away the people n cut down their tree)

Then at night went to meet Alvin to spend the Christmas Eve Night together =) Went to where we first met up for a date. Strolled around the roof top and enjoyed the view of the sea and Sentosa. Doulous Ship was docked there but it was close to the public. Sat there till sun set before we decided to head indoor to find food. We kept Jap Restaurant in our consideration list then we saw the Mussel Man Cafe. We chose Mussel Man for the great outdoor view that they have. After the relaxing meal we caught up with Joy! She was there too with Derrek.

Talked to the Doulous ship volunteers for some time while waiting for Joy. The 2 guys were really friendly and they shared with us their experience on board the ship. They will b working for them for 2 yrs. They take turns to do the chores and rotate their jobs. They shared how they got sea sick and puked continuously till their stomach was totally emptied, how they have to stay awake till 5am to keep a watch for nearby ships at the top deck, how they have 11pm curfews, how they stay in contact with their family, how they have talks, cells and services scheduled for the week, how they have gender regulations, how they found each country and how they are assigned to be stationed at the booth to prevent visitors from entering. haha. But they are really approachable and willing to share. =)

Ah! Joy & Derrek popped up and we headed up to the roof and took lots of night shots! Haha i've got a steady hand somehow :p the shutter shuts in 4 seconds so any movement would make the photo blur. We took group shots, couple shots and girl only shots. Of course we relied on the flash at times in order to get a clear picture. Yeah!! Got it! Took train home together and Alvin sent me home and stayed till 1am. Sent him home with dad's car as i dun want him to incurr midnight charge + public holiday charge. Not worth it, i can just drive him and reach home in 20 mins.

25th Dec Friday
Morning went with Alvin. I'm super amazed how i could even wake up at 8am. SOOOO proud of myself!!! Slept at 4am cos i was busy wrapping the presents for who i'm meeting today. With just 4 hours of sleep, i managed to drag myself out of bed, attend it, meet my gfs, hang out for dinner and followed by clubbing till 2am. MADNESS, yes. I totally didn yawn at all while i was with JADE. Cannot believe it. (ok i only started to yawn by 11pm) (yes it's 4.30am while i'm typing this ;P)
