oh gosh i just realised that in about 5 hours time, 2006 will be over. omg that is so so sad. i am so going to miss 2006. this year has been the busiest but best year of my life! (: seriously. my class [313] has been a really wonderful class, everyone there is really nice. (: i'm happy with my results too! haha. and compared to sec 1 and sec 2, i've been slogging harder this year, which makes me feel really productive haha. (: i had my first successful interview this year; the one for the german immersion. even though it didn't materialise, but i'm still happy about the fact that i cleared it! (: i wasn't late for school for a single day. (: i didn't quarrel at home as much as in other years. (: after much tiring work, [and occasional dozes in yangyue's office] longlong and i got a distinction for our wonderful poster at ysc. (: i got confirmed this year too! haha it was really fun and meaningful. (: i went on four trips abroad: cameron highlands, batam, hong kong and hainan. (: and i passed my zertifikat deutsch well. (:
yepp so many mini-milestones in a year right. maybe because this year was such a busy one, the time seemed to pass so much faster, and that's why i want to hang on to it. haha. but whatever. (:
hopefully, next year will be as good as this year, what with ssef and syf and whatnot. sigh but the thought of being sec 4 next year is seriously creepy. nvm. in 12 months time, it'll be december again! yayy.
okay it's time to move on! happy new year everyone! (:
whee i'm back from my holiday in hainan island! haha it was nice and fun and not at all like what i expected. (: hee maybe because everyone was going "ugh how come you're going to that kind of place, it's dirty and backward and whatnot." yepp. but in actually fact it's a really nice place!
haha okay i shall start from the first day. lol the first day was really crazy. we woke up at 2:30 am! yepp. in the morning. haha cos our flight was at 6 am or something. yepp we flew by tiger airways so we had to go to the budget terminal. omg the budget terminal is seriously quite cheapo. and empty. and tiger airways was seriously gross. super squeezy and everything. yepp. and the flight attendants were wearing this lame cheesy outfit: yellow top, black pants and tiger-print sash. sigh.
yeah anyway our holiday was quite cool cos we had our own personal tour guide and driver and car! haha yepp. no need to wake up so early in the morning, and no need to squeeze with other people in a tour group either (: our tour guide was quite good (: hee.
yepp so on the first day we drove to sanya. it's this little city. (: yepp and we stayed at sanya pearl river nantian spa resort (: omg it rocked! haha. it had 67 hot spring pools! and a big spa too! (: haha and the hotel room was nice too. it had this large balcony (: and the bathroom rocked too! (:
oh and on our way to the hotel, we visited this village called boao. it's an old village but the houses there are quite nice: made of stone and really spacious (: lol and the people there are really old! like really old. so cool right.
at night we went to aiwanting for dinner. i like that place! the food was really good, especially the dessert (: haha. we had durian and pineapple flavoured golden pillow thingies. and pumpkin cakes! haha.
second day: we went to nanshan. it was really big! haha there are a lot of record-breaking stuff there! like it has the largest gold and jade sculpture of kuanyin there. and it also has the largest dragon-shaped inkstone. (: and there was this really large statue of kuanyin that was built some distance out into the sea (: it was super cool!
haha ohh and i forgot to mention that the weather rocked! yepp it was winter so it was nice and cool with some sun. yayy haha. we had lunch at this vegetarian restaurant. i don't want to sound mean, but it really sucked.
after nanshan, we went to yalong bay. wow the scenery there was really great haha. (: it was like a bit mountainous and quite green. haha. yepp and the hotels there were quite nice too. the beach rocked. (:
and then we went to dadonghai. it wasn't as nice as yalong bay but still quite nice. (:
we went to aiwanting for dinner again! haha this time we tried the coconut steamed rice. it was for dessert btw. haha quite a cool concoction right. and it was quite yummy too (: lol but very filling.
third day was our free day! haha we visited the hot springs in the hotel (: lol at first the hot spring water was really unbearably hot, but after that we got used to it. lol the water was supposed to be like 35 to 39 deg celsius. haha there were sooo many different types of pools there. there was a herbal pool, fish therapy pool, flower pool, coconut pool, coffee pool, icy cold pool, and many others!
fish therapy pool was quite fun! you just had to sit still in the water and the fish would all come and bite at your dead skin (: yepp. haha it's super ticklish okay. apparently it originated from turkey. it does work to some extent... my skin doesn't feel so dry anymore (: whee yayy
haha but my fave pool is still the coffee pool! haha it's seriously coffee water okay. haha the coffee smell was so nice and strong hee (:
fourth day: we drove to haikou. haha nothing much. basically we checked into the hotel and then went shopping. (: yayy we ate bbq sweet potato! haha. and the food there was really good and cheap (: ooh and we bought some souvenirs made of coconut shells. (: yepp and they have a carrefour there too, but it sells quite different stuff from what we have here. haha the food rocked! we bought bangbangwa shredded beef: mala flavour and wuxiang flavour (: and we bought corn flavoured sausage too! haha.
yeah so basically this holiday was nice and fun! haha.

merry xmas everyone! (: haha. i'm so glad the weather is nice and sunny now (:
hee last night we went for midnight mass at sacred heart. it was oh-so-fun! (: seriously. fr tay is really funky! he distributed glo-sticks to the congregation! haha cos there was a short period before mass when he switched off all the lights in church, and then made us all break the glo-sticks. seriously funny haha (: i heard he gave out santa hats last year. ohh and the old choirmaster came back! he was conducting the carolling session before mass.
hmmm the little baby sitting in front of us yesterday looked so much like the seasonal attack pea from neopets. he was wearing this funny little santa claus hat. and his face was as round as a pea too! haha. (:
omg the church was soooo crowded last night. by 11:20, most of the seats were filled already. ohh and everyone was so well dressed for the occasion haha. (: haha there was this altar boy who gelled his hair or something. my mom said he looked like he had a ponytail :p
then the most fun part came! haha cos fr tay ordered this humongous bdae cake! haha yeah and then we started singing a happy bdae song to jesus! (: haha yeah and everyone started yelling merry christmas (: hee oooh and father blessed the cake with holy water! hee. and of course, everyone had a slice of the bdae cake. yepp it was quite a mess with people all queuing up and everything (: haha. it's choc cake btw! (:
ooh and the cool thing about yesterday was that it was both the 4th sunday of advent and xmas eve! yeah so i went for mass twice. once in the morning and another time at night. hee last night's midnight mass was seriously the nicest mass ever! (:
yayy and we reached home quite early: 1. 45 am. not bad right (: then it was exchange of prezzies (: lol. i gave my mom earrings, and my dad got a doggie mug (: yepp then my mom gave me 2 vcds! freaky friday and confessions of a teenage drama queen! haha both are lindsay lohan shows (: ooh and she gave me a pair of leafy earrings too! yayy. and my dad gave me cranberry shimmer lotion from body shop! (: haha yayy. and auntie shanti gave me a rainbow swatch watch! whee (:
the glo-sticks are still glowing! haha last night i put them on my shelf! yayy now my room is slightly lighted up! (: nice and pretty haha. but they won't last long though... :/

[and we were there around like 4 something] yeah. a bit crazy to wait until 9 right. so we walked down to cineleisure (: great exercise haha. i put on 1 kg during this holiday season. but it's kinda expected, so yeah. :/ haha whatever. (:
so exciting! (: we're going for midnight mass at sacred heart this year! haha haven't done that since like 7 years ago. (: that was when i was like 8 years old i think. and we had an x mas pageant. (: [and an xmas party too] haha it was super fun! yeah and when mass finally ended, we didn't manage to get a cab, so we walked home! haha yeah so cool right. great experience haha (: but this year, even if we want to walk home, i don't think it'll be possible cos it's kinda far. haha. (x
