haha okays back to christmas eve (: didn't really do much during the day haha, although i remember i was frantically wrapping presents before dinner haha! :D i totally forgot about the presents can! hahaha actually nowadays presents aren't very important to me hee but it's always nice to get some yes haha (:
dinner was nice! :D hee here are some pics! :D looks yummy right (: the turkey was from cold storage and the log cake was from royal plaza on scotts! :D my mom prepared the rest of the food! :D hee besides the turkey and log cake, we had ham and potatoes and brussel sprouts! :D and salad and champagne ((: yayy haha (: ooh the turkey stuffing rocked lah!

yummy christmas dinner! :D hee and there's the coolios red log cake haha (: [daniel you wanted to see the pic right haha here it is! :D ]
our dinner, plus the nice christmas bouquet and the candlestand woohoo ((:
haha then after dinner i resumed my gift-wrapping and notes-writing session while waiting for the rain to subside! sighh the stupid rain made the whole day seem so dreary can ): and i was so worried that the rain wouldn't stop and then we wouldn't be able to go for midnight mass, and that would totally take all the fun and meaning out of christmas eve! ): plus, christmas eve was always more meaningful to me than christmas day itself lah, so i really wanted it to be a nice one! hee but finally the rain subsided, like it did last year! :D haha so yayy we quickly got ready and chionged out of the house to go attend midnight mass at sacred heart yayy! :D
hee we reached there just in time to get seats before carolling started! (: haha i like all the christmas songs yayy (: they all sound so glorious and nice :D especially the latin version of o come all ye faithful! :D
adestes fideles! yayy haha see i get to learn a bit of latin too :p i think latin is a cool language haha yayy (: hee carolling ended a little before midnight and then the mass started! (:
haha omg the church was really packed lah, the crowds even lined the aisles all the way to front! o.0 i couldn't see anything at all from where i was sitting sigh, cos the crowds were blocking ): and we weren't sitting very near the altar too so i didn't get to smell the frankinscence! ahh ): haha but oh well overall it was still nice lah ((: haha christmas spirit in the air! :D haha and as usual there was the birthday cake for jesus haha and everyone got a slice of the cake yayy ((: christmas blessings yayy haha i'm gonna need a lot of it for next year man! ahhh and i wish i took a picture of the church! i've always wanted to take a pic of it during xmas haha it looks so nicely decorated (: didn't manage to do so though haha, maybe next year (:
then after mass, we strolled from our church all the way to cineleisure haha (: quite a nice feeling to stroll along the streets in the early hours of christmas haha ((: then we went to gloria jean's for hot chocolate! (: and we had cupcakes too yayy haha (: here's the pic! :D so nicely decorated right, and it was yummy too! :D
