We played poker cards and I learnt another way to gamble - HEARTS. It was Guan Koi, Yu Long, Cheng Sin and Karen competiting. In the end, Cheng Sin lost and he had to do a forfeit. HE TOOK LIKE FOREVER TO DO HIS FORFEIT. Well, he had to carry Yu long on his back around the swimming pool in the end. I really looked like Gai-sensei carrying Kakashi-sensei on his back when they were returning from the Sand Village from rescueing Gaara. DAMN FUNNY! ><

We played more card games like Indian Poker and Number guessing game. The penalty was eating a jelly everytime you lost. In the end, the 10 of us finished an entire tub of jelly. --" Had a good chat with everyone... hope to have another gathering soon next year!

CCAO on the 30th of Dec and my sister's first day of orientation to a brand new life of Primary school at Kong Hwa Primary. My dad managed to send me to RGS and I didn't have to wake up that early. (thanks dad!) There, I met with many of my old classmates and did what was the same every year... introducing the different CCAs in RGS before the start of their CCA trials.

Had fun collecting stickers and sticking them all over my shirt. Had a weird time explaining all the complicated CCA selection conditions and stuff to parents. It was as if the parents were more enthusiastic about joining the CCAs here than the students themselves. They were the ones who asked the most questions and took the most notes. (how interesting)

I then wanted to rush to Kong Hwa for my sister's orientation right after that, but it seemed like I was too late. Well anyway, I took bus no.7 with Karen and we both were quite high. I reached home and then slacked the entire day. 2 mores days to school reopening and I still have not completed my commonwealth essay. I'm so dead. ><

Had to go back to school for 2 days (15 and 16) for drill practice and while only around 5 of us turned up

My Saturday on the 13th was really fun :D In the morning I had the last Jap lesson for the entire course. In the afternoon I had maths tuition at Aspen. In the late afternoon I went for EOY together with Karen.

It was a fun fun experience. We took pictures of cosplayers, checked out all the booths (Karen went on a spending spree again. Her home may soon become an anime/manga museum), watch the cosplay competition. Although we missed the bakaninja team's performance, we managed to catch a super cute version of the Kurojitsushi dance and the famous Haruhi Suzumiya para-para dance.

Some of the booths were selling things cheap and the BLEACH cards were totally awesome... but I didn't buy any. No place to keep even if I bought them. --" Check out the photos when I get them from Karen and Jessie :D

Done 6 hours of CIP at the Bedok Public Library doing the Marina Bay Countdown Well-wishes for 2009 thing. The 1st session was quite fun, there were 6 of us :D 5 girls and 1 guy. Among them is my long-lost kindergarten friend - Kimberly. We split up into 2 groups, the 3 girls at the 3rd level and Jessie, the guy and me at the ground level. We were all given super-large shirts to wear. --"

There were quite a few experiences... walking trees (people who totally ignore you), kids who love to 'vandalise', many of whom has big dreams of becoming rich, owning PSPs and become scientists. We had cheerful parents and adults, one of whom even thanked us for the work we have done :D. We had nasty people who were really rude, nice people who refused us nicely, people who have no dreams apparently --" and shy people who don't want to write.

There was this guy whom Jessie approached and he totally ran away like he was terrified of her. I was laughing so hard that my stomach was hurting. There was this particular old man who was really nice. He stopped us, talked to us, and after that signed, wishing (all three of us) a great year ahead. I really pity the guy who got terribly teased by him.

Went to Watch The Quantum of Solace with Natalie and Jessie at Cathay Cineleisure - 3rd Dec. We ate lunch at some Hong Kong Restaurant, being the most I have spent on 1 lunch ever in my entire 14+ years of life. It was $16.20 - gluttonus rice, carrot cake, pan-friend dumplings and Hong Kong 奶茶.

Went to Kinokuniya again, making it the 4th time within a short 4 months. I have made up my mind that I will buy a japanese book from there once I have fully learnt how to read! :D I have quite a number of books there in mind. Both Jessie and Natalie bought something to read there.

The Quantum of Solace was okay. I have watched numerous James Bond Movies, however apart from the action and the killing, the plot with all the chim code names just cannot be registered in my head. If comparing in wits, the Borne Ultimatium is better, but James Bonds' got more brut action. *punch punch* *kick kick*

Did my first 2 hours of CIP at White Sands Mall together with Jessie, helping out with the JRA (Junior Reading Association) of the NLB. Our jobs were pretty simple cause the art and craft section was cut out. All we had to do were to distribute some flyers, give out small tokens to children who manage to answer questions correctly and take pictures.

We even visited the new 'movable' library which is in a bus form and they have quite a wide range of books considering the size of the bus. Went to ARIES together after the entire thing and wanted to 'humilate' my brother into wearing a girly hairband after he broke 2 of my plain ones. In the end, I bought a simple white one after being persuaded not to by Jessie. :P Both of us bought bangles and I bought my mother's Christmas present.
