The Opera Populaire

Gals are such frivolous creatures. Yesterday, was walking about in Chinatown with Hanyong when we stopped by a shop seling handphones. I need a new handphone....mine has been spoilt for a week now, but I haven't had time to buy one. Saw this model I have been liking for years now...already not in production. Price-wise, I can buy a newer model with better functions and proper warranty. But! I just can't resist that one....it is my dream phone for about 2-3 years now *gasp!* Self-control, self control! Just becos I have the spending power now, it means I must weigh the feasibility of my purchases even more. I shall take more time to consider b4 purchasing. Meanwhile, do msg, not call me, peeps haha :)

Do take note, there will be a Christmas party at my place on the 17th Dec, 6 pm. All the profs who still read our blogs are cordially invited as well ;) The theme is "Shanghai Tan". So bring out your cheongsams, ma kua, make a pigtail or ringlets, decorate yourself with feather boa or mink coats. We'll have a good gathering. Oh and do bring along a small gift worth about $5 for the gift exchange. Can't wait to see you guys once more!

Had a great time at Sentosa with Pearl, Yanchun, Hanyong, Shizhi and Hong Xian yesterday. Kinda made me think back about the time we went to Genting and KL. How I wish we are still so carefree! Time together always seem so precious these days, when each of us has to go back to our respective work. Miss the times when we see one another almost everyday in school. I dun think I took those times for granted, but I still miss the Honours year intensely. That's why everybody must come for my Christmas party!!!! Like the other time, the post-exam party after Dr. Lockhart's paper. Just that we shall sing Chinese songs this time. Cos Andrew, your English songs have been over-played hahahaha :)

Sentosa brought back certain memories, again not that they mean a great deal anymore. I am not bitter about him...it all happened so long ago. I wish him well in whatever he does. We have both moved on and are happier for it. That is what is important. Through him, God taught me the lesson of forgiveness once more.

We played on this swing where 4 people can sit on it and the thing will rotate, making you very giddy in the process. That was so fun! Then Pearl guided us in a step-by-step lesson on how to make a cheese and ham sandwich...it was nice! Poor Yanchun got a spot of melted cheese on her sarong...dunno who did it! Hahaha. I found out that it was a fun thing to run on the wooden bridge and try to make it shake by jumping up and down on it. Think that terrified Pearl quite a bit....sorry gal! The guys, with the exception of Hong Xian, were so unadventurous! Just sit down and suntan...tsk tsk. Stop missing your harems during the weekend ok. Too much of a good thing is not gd for u ;p

It will be nice to go for a cruise together. Lets make it a reality ok, guys. Watching stars on the deck at night. Feeling the breeze while watching the dawn breaks. Gobbling down the buffet meals on the deck. Dancing the night away. Hehe I have a thing for ships and boats. While some people get freaked out at the idea of travelling on water, I revel in it, though I am not a good swimmer.

Michael and Ningru brought along their Maltese puppy, Rocky, for church!!!! Argh he is such a sweet, soft little thing!! I can't resist dogs. Carried him onto my lap, where he sat down quietly, at times trying to climb to my shoulders, while we all fussed over him. My pastor's gals talked to me for the first time ever while stroking him....Rocky makes such a good ice-breaker. One told me she likes hamsters better and that she will name her next hamster Hamtaro. The other daughter was so funny...she kept telling me she touched Rocky's tail. So I taught her to stroke him on his head, which delighted her. Think she was afraid when she saw him chewing my fingers, though it wasn't painful. He was just teething.
