Merry Christmas 2010

Tonight, everyone’s out for Christmas countdown, I’m at home facing my computer :D
This year’s will be a bit plain for me and also a bit different. I’ve learned many things in 2010, in a hard ways. It’s good to learn and hopefully I can become a better person in 2011.

The word Christmas originated as a compound meaning "Christ's Mass". It is derived from the Middle English Christemasse and Old English Cristes mæsse.

"Cristes" is from Greek Christos and "mæsse" is from Latin missa (the holy mass). In Greek, the letter Χ (chi), is the first letter of Christ, and it, or the similar Roman letter X, has been used as an abbreviation for Christ since the mid-16th century. Hence, Xmas is sometimes used as an abbreviation for Christmas.

The Meaning of Christmas

Teach them the old meaning of Christmas. The meaning that now-a-days Christmas has forgotten. "Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a FIR TREE and placed it before the mantle. "Teach the children that the pure green color of the stately fir tree remains green all year round, depicting the everlasting hope of mankind, all the needles point heavenward, making it a symbol of man's thoughts turning toward heaven."

He again reached into his bag and pulled out a brilliant STAR. "Teach the children that the star was the heavenly sign of promises long ago. God promised a Savior for the world, and the star was the sign of fulfillment of His promise."

He then reached into his bag and pulled out a CANDLE. "Teach the children that the candle symbolizes that Christ is the light of the world, and when we see this great light we are reminded of He who displaces the darkness."

Once again he reached into his bag and removed a WREATH and placed it on the tree. "Teach the children that the wreath symbolizes the real nature of love. Real love never ceases. Love is one continuous round of affection."

He then pulled from his bag an ORNAMENT of himself. "Teach the children that I, Santa Claus, symbolize the generosity and good will we feel during the month of December."

He then brought out a HOLLY LEAF. "Teach the children that the holly plant represents immortality. It represents the crown of thorns worn by our Savior. The red holly berries represent the blood shed by Him.

Next he pulled from his bag a GIFT and said, "Teach the children that God so loved the world that he gave his begotten son." Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.

Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a CANDY CANE and hung it on the tree. "Teach the children that the candy cane represents the shepherds' crook. The crook on the staff helps to bring back strayed sheep to the flock. The candy cane is the symbol that we are our brother's keeper."

He reached in again and pulled out an ANGEL. "Teach the children that it was the angels that heralded in the glorious news of the Savior's birth. The angels sang Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace and good will toward men."

Suddenly I heard a soft twinkling sound, and from his bag he pulled out a BELL,. "Teach the children that as the lost sheep are found by the sound of the bell, it should ring mankind to the fold. The bell symbolizes guidance and return.

Santa looked back and was pleased. He looked back at me and I saw that the twinkle was back in his eyes. He said, "Remember, teach the children the true meaning of Christmas and do not put me in the center, for I am but a humble servant of the One that is, and I bow down to worship him, our LORD, our GOD."

BLESSED CHRISTMAS TO ALL & HAPPY NEW YEAR <3

Straits Quay Mall

I’ve been to Straits Quay mall three times. The first time was just a random outing with Doreen.
The second time was with my friends! Lala and Ai Leen 
The third time was with my couz, J-Yee.

I was there for a specific reason. I never want to talk about it again J the second and third time, I had dinner at Weissbrau German Bistro & Bar, the food there was awesome! J

Didn’t really take many photos that day L All I have now is just some lousy photos, taken with a lousy camera, of course L

Still haven’t fully developed, but there were many people here already! And did I say that, I just simply love it at night because it’s pretty at night J I’ll never get tired to go there every day LOL

From inside the mall, you can probably enjoying the beautiful scene as you’ll be facing towards the sea J

Plus, it’s an ideal place for couples! J Recommendable during the night =.=

Was probably exploring the environment there, and there it is, the Weissbrau German Bistro & Bar.

I was, basically, stalking someone which I think it’s totally ridiculous now =.=

There’s a dog spa too! J How convenient.

Lala, by the seaside xD

Later on, Ai Leen (my sister by surname LOL LOW) reached. I forced them to take a photo together as they were so shy L

Let me introduce, this is Ai Leen, the food-watcher

We were super hungry at that time, I decided to have dinner at Weissbrau where they watched me eating zzz they crapped a lot of things and excuses on why they didn’t want to eat.

Besides all that, that was my first time there (Weissbrau) and it was also one of my favourite memories there, for some specific reason.

Another food-watcher D:

No picture of myself because I was the one taking photos. Mine was with them and they have no time to pass it to me, so I’d just blog with what I have first J At last, we went back.

Candies! <3

___________________________________________________________________________________

The third time! This is my couz, J-Yee, you should know already, because her face is the most popular on my blog. The most appearance than the other friends of mine J

She had her meal. Above there, you can see she was enjoying her food (veining too xD)

Well, this was mine! I <3>

That was your highness

My phone’s camera suck at night. =.= Which became one of the reason for those retarded photos zzz

And J-yee

After that, we went to a Christmas BBQ Party at my friend’s house in Island Glades

Went back home almost 1AM. Nothing happened, again, I’m going to say it again! 18 is cool! xD

Good night!

2 vs 1

2 versus 1 is all about … just a random post K Basically, I went out with my little sister, Jesse-Lyn and my bestie, Doreen.

2 (E-Laine and Jesse-Lyn) versus 1 (Doreen) LOL (Lame, I know) -.-

So, that day, Mandy couldn’t make it because she had to go to the police station and the queue was super damn long, so she said it’s okay, we can go without her (aww how sweet is that).

So, my mom came and fetched us to Queens. She was busy and I bothered her,

results were à nagging me all the way to Queens LOL?

That’s my mom (:

The blur one. She looked lala-ish that day and every day. I hate lala. =.= Because, their fashions are one of a kind, just like those idiot attention seekers -.- In other words, they have no sense of fashion SOME TIMES

Well, that’s your highness. I was wearing a normal shirt and a short. I rovey dovey my maroon colors nail polish because I looked rather fairer than the usual kinda dark skin I have. ( Well, not so dark LOL)

On our way there, I captured some photos. I was kinda attracted to buildings.

Going-to-be-building

Another going-to-be-building. Gosh, I can imagine how much can change in the future. Now, you can see constructions everywhere near this area (the way to Queens), you see developments of new buildings zzz

Another one, no building because I missed it, my mom was driving too fast, apparently, was Formula1-ing xD

Another one, near the sea area. Finally, I reached. The first thing I think of going was BORDERS. While waiting for my friend (Doreen), we went to the BORDERS to find for my Upper Six English Literature books. Selected poems of Thomas Hardy à out of stock. Geez, every time the same case!!

Again, messing around. LOL Last time was me capturing photos of the cooking books recipe. (Stealing stuffs, indirectly). That day, it was me capturing photos of wedding cards. LOL I found it special and meaningful so yeah J and I was there looking for a wedding card for my Bert’s sister’s wedding dinner.

Ended up, I didn’t buy any of it because I want to do it myself. It’s be more sincere J Or whatever, the card there is way too expensive =.=

Doreen came to BORDERS then we went for a movie! TRON was an awesome movie to watch. If you haven’t, please go watch now thank you very much. I <3>

After movie, we did nothing much, we went down for dinner at Manhattan Fish Market.

Those bracelets which I bought from Forever 21 just now before the movie started. We also went inside JUSCO and looked for my little sister’s uniform.

While waiting for food.

That’s Salmon something something. My sister’s.

That was Doreen’s. She ordered Fish and Chips.

And that was mine. I hate eating too much rice so I switched with my sister. LOL I had salmon instead of the baked fish.

Retarded face, I know.

Well, in case you don’t know. This is Doreen! And just now the retarded face I was telling you guys earlier, that’s my sister. Somehow, I don’t have the retarded face lolol

I finished mine

Retarded didn’t finish all of it, wasting my money (Her money actually LOL)

Doreen’s! She finished all at last :D

Then, it’s about time which is around 9PM, Doreen’s sister reached Queens so she gotta go. Left me and my sister, we went to Forever 21 again xD This time, she waited for me outside and I went it to hunt for some accessories :O My mom called and sounded a little bit pissed off saying “why I never saw you here with meimei?” I lied to her D: I said I was on my way for the bill (I didn’t say it was the food bill neither was the accessories bill xD) So, I flew to the counter -.- and pay for 4 pairs of earrings.

Walking totally like a wind to the front door and then to my Uncle’s restaurant which was not really far (Shanghai Ding Dumpling House).

While walking, that retarded sister of mine wanted to buy Christmas Hat and she looked completely desperate for it, so we went to buy -.- Waited again for her to pay -.- then continue with our walking-like-a-wind

Saw my mom’s car, my sister hopped in, I went in the restaurant just to say hi (So sweet right? I know xD)

Reached home, had nothing to do so I decided again to take some photos, showing some of my receipts -.- I never realized that and I seriously gotta do some savings for Chinese New Year D:

And of course, when this post started off with my face, it has to end with my face too. Just to show what earrings I bought at Forever 21. That’s pretty isn’t it J I like that. The three earrings was either too small or too common so I never take any photos of them. Bye!

TIME FLIES

It freaks you out when so much can change in a year. Another year has come to an end and I’m finally legal long time ago hahaha (that was a few months back xD). Things changed so fast or so much you didn’t even realized. Time flies ):

But, for me, I’ve wasted a lot of my time during my end year’s holidays. Outing and outing and outing, like it’s never going to finish.

Next week! It’s a brand new year, another year for self improvements.

2010 is coming to an end, this makes me sad and happy.

Happy because this is the year I turned 18! LEGAL, spell it come one, L-E-G-A-L xD

Happy because I get to go out at night/till late night and 18 is always better than 17, I can feel it.

Happy for all the memories I had with my friends! <3

Happy I’ve learned new things. As in bad and good things. (Not much but at least there are something better than none) <3

Happy I’ve met someone really awesome and meant this much to me. <3

“Never regret it’s over, be glad it was once yours”

This is ridiculous, I never know why but I dislike this quote very much.

Sad because I can never pamper with my parents anymore. This is sick when you turned 18, you’re legal and also means you’re old enough =.=

Sad that I can never always go out at night/till late night all because of my finals and I have to prepare for it.

Sad because of certain things which ended pretty fast and also in an ugly way.

Be realistic people and positive -.- Everyone is going to move on including me, you can’t just stay back behind 2010 (well, you can, in your dream). Because, 2010 isn’t a place for you to stay people LOL (lame I know) -.-

Finally, I’m totally excited and looking forward to the year 2011! Where I’ve been in my dream land most of the time, already dreaming and imagining the day after I’ve finished my FINALS! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Hard work pays off, so let’s not think so much of those unhealthy stuff, work as hard as I can, enjoy as much as possible the end of the day! xD

Oh! And Christmas is just around the corner, which is on this Saturday!! I’m so excited, NOT L Wishing you all reading this, a very Happy New Year and Merry Christmas! May all your wishes come true (mine as well) and God bless you all J Have a great days ahead and a year full of lucks in 2011! *Trust me, I never wish someone this good before) =.=

Good bye! Fyi, this is a totally random post! LOL See you all again
