Xmas Eve morning, brought my clothes to NUS to do laundry. and then rushed off to Church to help out with transferring the equipments into the church van. But when i reached, they’ve already done it. then Ada’s hubby zhexiang drove us to Orange Valley.
For this Christmas eve, we went carolling at the Orange Valley Old folks home, where I played as dad to Isaac. Weeks before that, had spent some time to memorise the script in chinese. Put powder on my hair, and used Muh Tian’s late dad’s tongkat. and im all ready to play a role as an old dad. After the skit, we distributed kuih and selegie tauhui.
Next, we packed up, and went back to Church. Ding’s dad just collected his new old Wish. And he helped fetched Youth back to Church too. And after unloading everything, we went to eat dimsum buffet style. Meaning we just ordered a lot of food. It was at Geylang.. After a very good meal, we went back to Church, and chit chat, and then bathe, and slept.
Next morning, Christmas day. We went back to Kovan, finished packing gifts and took a cab to Sengkang… gary’s place! and we had lots of sausages, some wine, and played Cluedos. quite a good game, but too mindconsuming, so gary rz eug and i played a few games of daidee.
Went to Compasspoint to buy HTC Desire, to replace the one i lost. After so much deliberation, i decided to buy the same one, even though desire Hd and z are out. Well, they’re 500+ i think. so it’s a bit too ex. Happy to get the desire.
After compasspoint, went to Woodsvale to have dinner with Fy and family. and give the kids presents. they were really happy to see the M&Ms dispenser. It’s cute. And Fy bought a log cake.. quite nice.
Rushed to Yishun Northpoint to find bells for sundayschool ! And then went to amk, changed bus to Kovan, helped Ding with the sunday sch to prepare cups with bells. cut strings. etc. and then i took the last 153 home. really tiring ๐
Sunday sch the next day, reached at 935, helped with balloons, and joined ding for the class for the first time. After church, there’s buffet spread at church. It’s potluck, and had a chance to try Isaac’s mum hong zao chicken. nice ! After eating, we went down to meet darius and family at Bukit Permai. Just went down to see how they’re doing and preparing for the wake.
After that, we went down to Bishan, for Ding’s Biaojie’s Housewarming party. Got to know everyone, and zhexiang joked once im in the family portrait, there’s no turning back.. haha. it’s great ! Great macaroni and fish soup!!! love them. Played tickets to ride for the first time. I was the winner ! 135 points i think. Love the game. I think im slightly autistic, as they did research and they realise autistic kids love trains. but i din love them when i was young. hmm. but i love tickets to ride. Not too complicated, and the colourful trains are cute too ๐
after bishan, sent ding home, and I went home.
It was really a very blessed Christmas, and got gifts from Jenny, Jiayan, Fangting sisters. No card / presents from Ding at all ;/ but i also never had the time to go get ding something. damn. better prepare early for her birthday. And this is the first time Christmas had been so exciting and nice. I really really enjoyed it. it was a blur, and rushy, ย and i spent like 40sgd on cab fare. but i really really enjoyed this year.
