Right. So it's been one hell of a week and after the trip, I've been trying to meet up with everyone to catch up with the still bloated tummy (damn it!). Well, the girls and I went tanning Tuesday and had the girls talk. (Oh, I've done lotsa talking too this week, you'll see why) And then I met up with Xiaotong, Qianru and Madeline (God, it's been soooo long since I last saw her) for another girls' talk and a lot, of walking. And just yesterday, I caught Twilight (I was so excited about it and then, well it wasn't that bad la, it's just, not right) and I did a lot, a lot of sale shopping with Cheryl (Cher, it was pretty fruitful but have you found your phone yet!) and then Takkin and I coincidentally met Adrian and Binghui at Macs! (It's been ages since we've last met, too. I HAVE INDEED BEEN INSIDE THE CLOSET. Damn, it's about time to get out already) Both of them were super cute and silly with their questions and all plus, Adrian leaned over for a hug (whoa! Yeah, I know but it was really nice). I totally forgot what or even whom I've gone out over the week but these should be it, right? Anyways, today was the nicest, I think. I stayed up last night till like 3 plus (Funny, cause yknow I hate the 3rd hour) to read Breaking Dawn. Trudy then called me at like 8.45am? (She totally woke me up and I was wondering why she would call so early!) Then it kinda struck me the same time she said it. OMG, THE RETREAT! "Wake up" "aww, I totally forgot....(gushing).." "Yeah, Wake up (already)". So matter-of-factly. hahahaha. Well, I put on my newly bought purple hood shirt (it's my favourite now already) and asked Dad to fetch Wynee and I to RioVista. The Retreat was pretty good esp the input by Sister Christine. We headed for Jerome's for some tea break, supposedly but Greg said to practice caroling. Ohwell, Wynee said "So near yet so far" to the food. HAHA We broke into parts and can you believe it, I'm doing Sop, melody. G-R-E-A-T. Others left one by one and Jerome said something like Let's go ice skating (I didnt mind actually but so few ppl!) so me, Tru, Sebastian, Vanessa, Jerome and his wife, Charmaine were left and we talked and really talked. It's really nice. We talked about relationships and guys and girls and I've gained a lot more insights and it's pretty cool. I played catch up with Trudy and realised I've been missing out on quite a bit with all my absence from meetings. (heh) Quite hyped for Christmas, cause Wynee and Tru's planning some X'mas thing after the midnight mass (I absolutely love midnight mass esp at my church cause it has some awesome ambience) and gambling and eating and drinking with the family and the Christmas meet-ups with friends! I'm opening my house up for Lectors carols on the 27th (yay, cause I wanna show my decorations off LOL). Tomorrow, Jan, Shaun, Jy and I are going out after the Sdvp Christmas party! Next week's worse and probably the next so breathe, jelena and all else, it's gonna be a ride. Meanwhile, since it's the season of advent and all, I want to really do a verbal, sorry written thanksgiving (without the turkey, ha, cold joke) Oh yeah! I've yet to get ANY X'mas gifts for everyone and I'm so so dead. See, I've bombed $250 on myself and am predicting more on Monday when Cher and I go another round but I swear, I'll get it all settled by then. And Christmas cards too, and homework (urgh, Takkin!) and almost 'bout everything! (I've no idea why this post sounds so excited. Probably the Joy of Christmas and indeed too much joy to the world from carols)
