I've always loved Christmas, and this year is no exception. Had higher expectations, though - since there was much fanfare about how much more money was poured into the Yuletide decorations on Orchard Road, and how much less materials from years past were recycled. I did like the little detail of placing quaint little listening booths all along the streets - useless la, since it's so noisy very few would actually notice that these were speakers and not DOA festive lights - 'cos I'm a sucker for details, and c'mon, you gotta giv'em credit for attaching lyrics so we could stand by the booths, cock our ears, and try to sing along. Really gets me in the mood. A big shout-out to Daph (whom I need to credit for the above photo), with whom I've not had so much fun since.... sec sch, I reckon? It was one of those rare days where we could talk and laugh at just about anything. (Yes I remember the photo; but because I still can't access email from this com please wait a lil k?)
Today was also the mark of the end of Chingerling's 23rd year of existing on this earth, and the embarkation of her 24th (think about it people: when you celebrate your 1st birthday it means that you've been around for a year, and are starting on your second year). Being sticklers for tradition, we had some cake from Secret Recipe (only good for cake, never good for main courses as far as I'm concerned).
As is evident, she kinda devoured it whole. That sorta spoiled my day and as a result, The Boyfriend now knows me as The Girl Who Gets Moods. So I asked him if this revelation led him to regret his choice of Hand-holder and his training in Girl-dom (though meagre) told him to immediately reply: "That's not what I said! Don't put words into my mouth." Meagre, like I said, but it is impossible for me to stay angry with my boo for more than 3 seconds, so wonderful is he.
What is also wonderful is that, despite all odds, my sister and I managed to pull the show together at the last minute and she got to go to her prom a stunner! A whole host of dramatic episodes ensued before we got to the finished look (below), believe you me.
That's me on the right, the bedraggled but immensely proud big ole sis, and my sis on the left. I am very proud to have styled her from top to toe, barring the hair - which she got done at this place I've been going to since my JC days - yup, make-up included. All together now - Awwwww.

Your sister looks like a Tai Tai.
It's the hair; the rest of her outfit is really quite kick-ass. (But in any case, this coming from you, Barry, she should take it as a compliment.) The Boyfriend also said her hair looked rather mature, but I think in person it was damn nice. oh, but at least one of her friends agree with you; he said she looked "expensive
exquisite vs wise mama san :p
Is Chingerling your real sis? I always thought you're the older one compare to her!
Sorry! =(
And the one who went to prom night, is she Chingerling or another person?
Sorry ah, old man eyes got problems.
Haha
soulburnz:Haha.. Chingerling isn't my sister at all!! She's my best friend and, erm, we're the same age. -_-'''
The one who went to the prom is, yes, my sis. Haha maybe I took too many liberties in my writing, and so it got confusing. Don't label yourself an old man! Coz I'm not that much younger than you!
thend: oy! I hope that means I did a good job with the make-up though??? (fishing fishing)
Ya, we're of the same age!!!
yup. did a pretty good job, would've taken her to the prom myself were i still so young... hahaha..
and yes, you realli look the part of a mother in that pic. :p
Ah!!! My blog! The template's not supposed to change! Yet!
soulburnz: I couldn't figure out what your comment meant for a few days. Hey! You're a good half-a-year older than me, k! That may not be much, but you're still a year older half the time! Heehee.
thend: I do not take that as a compliment. >:/
