CHRISTMAS EVE..
was spent the way Christmas should be celebrated. Went to church for their Christmas Eve service.. was lovely :) we then went off to Bliss Cafe at Punggol Park for some drinks, fingerfood and chit chatting... the place was awesome.. it's by the lake and with the candles twinkling, gentle breeze, was really like some romantic fairytale.. (and i love their chedder fries!) left just 30mins shy of midnight.. got home and we welcomed Christmas in a more spectacular way than popping party poppers *grin*

i've always believed Christmas should be spent in church, celebrating the birth of Jesus.. and spending time with your loved ones.. i love quiet Christmases... thoughtful and meaningful.

painting the town red? getting high and wasted? that's so ridiculous. A few years back.. i spent my christmas eve at a club.. everyone was drinking, dancing.. and all of a sudden it hit me.. "what the heck am i doing here?!" the countdown came.. everyone was shouting... singing.. all joyous... and i had the urge to yell at them: "do you even know what you are celebrating?!!! What are you so happy about?!!!" and what am i doing with a bunch of people who doesnt even care a hoot who Jesus is... what is Christmas to them? A chance to get high.. and wasted.. and be merry.. i felt awful.. told myself then i will never ever spend my Christmas eve clubbing. period.

dont get me wrong.. i've nothing against clubbing. In fact, we have plans to club this New Years' Eve. But never.. NEVER.. on Christmas eve. I feel sorry.. for people who doesnt know the essence of a celebration.. who just 'follow the crowd'


CHRISTMAS DAY..
comprises of our favourite activities... which are: sleeping.. eating and movies...!

Dinner: KENNY ROGERS'S Chicken with Honey Bourbon Sauce (it's mag!)
Movie: NARNIA!!!!!!! (at GV Grand - Big Screen!)

Narnia is good!!! followed the book to the 't'! but the battle scene is somewhat disppointing cos you cant help comparing with that of LOTR.. cos there are many similarities.. (CS Lewis and JR Tolkein are good friends fyi) i wish there were more animals, 'talking beasts' though.. guess that's part of the attraction.. a battle of animals instead of humans.. they used too many centaurs (humanlike).. but overall, thought it was good.. zack was kinda disappointed.. somehow expected more with all the huha.. hope they are making movies outta the other books as well..

i've got nothing to look forward to now.. sigh..

and oh.. HAPPY BOXING DAY folks!
