it's difficult to think that it's actually now xmas eve. well it's 340 am on 24th december 2006. now i wonder what i actually wrote last year on xmas eve, shall go check.

haha quite surprised at my own post. a year ago. this year seems to have flown past, as with every other year when you look back at it. well here was what it was.

"maybe i'm jaded by christmas. i can't even tolerate the huge christmas crowds anymore. every evening i see huge crowds in town and i'm thinking why these people aren't at home, for they do have work the next day so get home and stop crowding the late night mrt trains already."

this year seems exactly the same. i'm not jaded but i guess there's really not much xmas cheer now. well we had our very early xmas party yesterday featuring my batch/clique and 2 guests (the 2 lawyers.) chloe mei is. family. so i don't know where she fits in. (so do we all get presents now chloe?) it was all good fun playing taboo and they had their stupid version of pictionary. i had violent killer hiccups from pictionary onwards so i had to remain in a sleeping position to stop them. yes i do have very bad hiccups that really hurt and jerk my whole body. eugene says it's diaphragm cancer - i'm sure he's going to fail his medicine exams haha.

the xmas light ups this year seem like leftovers from deepavali, while the decorations by the roads do appear to be plucked from hari raya (yellow/gold tree-like things). it's all pretty sad. i haven't really managed to appreciate or look at what the shopping centres have, but centrepoint seems quite disappointing. ohhhhhh well.

so the mood this year at carolling hasn't been terrific as well. well we started out fine yesterday i think. i conducted the choir and felt rather queer cos 1. everyone's on autopilot anyway, 2. i think i'm really terrible at conducting now. but then the turnout has been bad there's seriously an imbalance of guys/girls. it's gonna be xmas eve carolling and nobody seems really up for it. i guess after 8 years of carolling for me (and many more for the seniors) all the talk about how exciting carolling can be has now worn off. i've given up on trying to establish anymore links with vjchoir that we used to love singing with come december. i guess. i. am. getting. old. but then we still make our own fun when we sing and so that helps. i am an idiot afterall.

today's carolling was honestly quite terrible at some places considering the crowd was really not up for it. quite weird considering yesterday's friday crowd was larger and more boisterous than today's saturday crowd. perhaps weekend prices scare merry-makers away.

so it doesn't feel like it's xmas eve. it doesn't feel like it's going to be xmas soon. and then the new year and a new school term beckons. i'm not happy. but i'm so glad i'll be having some good company for the countdown to xmas.

it's such a long random post about stuff involving my christmas this year. but something's missing.

today i spoke to an american lady on the bus. it was quite weird cos i'm usually friendly but not exactly very friendly to strangers. but anyway she was obviously new to singapore cos she wanted to take a picture of the bus driver to prove to her husband she took a bus! well turned out her husband's an expat here and they're going to bangkok for a few days next and then they'll be back here for nye.

she has 2 kids 34 and 33, both studied at lehigh university and found their husband and wife there. and she has grandchildren.

she then proceeded to take a picture of me cos i was friendly. haha i felt like an asian specimen.

but well. it was nice to have a short chat of 5 mins and know abit bout her as seen above and end off with a smile. all with a simple hello. we should all be nicer to strangers sometimes.
