come all ye faithful.
come all ye faithful,
joyful and triumphant.
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels.
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

xmas 07 has been a real blast! :)
plus the buildup to it was really fantastic. it started on 23rd with an outing with yinghan and hongwei, where we did shopping in town and had dinner at sushi tei.
as usual, their company was excellent because of all the laughter and 'corny-ness' they bring. the dinner also brought back many lower secondary school memories, about things such as E3-Circles (a study group we had, but failed miserably), the famous Political Pizza Hut (an exhibition that never materialised) and of course Ortussey - the school magazine we published for only ONE edition which later was stolen by a teacher and made into her own magazine.
oh well, the silly things we do in the younger days. haha. :)
somehow my mind was detached from their conversation during dinner, one part was engaging in it, the other was drifting away and visualising you in your kitchen baking away diligently.
thank you so much for the cakes, and the effort. they were really delicious. and i'm not just saying that because i love you.
i love you AND the cakes were delicious too. :) even grandma said they were good. hehe.

24th morning and afternoon, was spent with javier, walking through town, getting last minute xmas gifts, such as joshua's HEAT BLAST from toy 'r' us, and of course YOUR gift.
had lunch at sun and moon japanese restaurant, and we are so going to bring all you peeps there for a meal next time! :)
rushed home for xmas party, and mum (as usual for every party) was freaking out, and demanding that i helped her with the xmas presents. i felt so accomplished after arranging all the xmas gifts (over a 100 one of them) under the xmas tree, and i also had to arrange them according to families which was such a chore. everyone could have rummaged through the tree to find their gifts, but i guess there wont be a tree after that.
invited tyng, eu ginn, adrian and zen kyn over for the party and the conversations we had were so raunchy that i will spare all you readers of the gory details of what were exchanged over dinner. thank god we had a table on our own.
was calling you between every hour interval, hoping to keep you company on xmas eve, especially when i wasnt there for you. haha. you teased me about the time difference each time my call wasnt on time. i swear my heart and my mind were on your side all the time. and they will always be.
party ended at 1 am, washed up around 2am, and stayed up till 3 plus working on your xmas card. this is the first time i've done such an elaborate job for a xmas card. i poured my heart and soul into it. i finally understood how it felt to give in love, not just receive, but to GIVE. and also how it felt to really wish that the person would appreciate the effort you put in.
just with simple smile or word of thank you, all the hard work will seem so worth it.

from this point onwards, words cannot describe how i felt on xmas day itself and the xmas dinner we had together.
knock knock.
who's there?
shall be
shall be who?
shall be coming around the mountain as she comes.
:)
every moment was so magical. and i guess the best way to remember xmas 07, is to keep all the memories in my mind, replay them every once in a while and bask in the happiest moment of 2007 for me.
you bring tears of joy to me. thank you.
you keep me safe in a crazy world,
deon.
