Christmas Isn't Christmas ...

Well ... remember that I mentioned that I haven't been going out? Well dats been drastically amended! Haven't been seeing much of home for the last few days. I met the LSE guys one day for lunch at Crystal Jade; did shopping for stuff I will need in London; then hosted my buddies over for a movie at our place (where we attempted to watch this horrible chick flick "white chicks" - we almost reached the end of the first disc when our natural instincts told us that it was simply plain WRONG to continue!); today went out with my Dad for our bi-annual shopping trip - where we buy everything we might need for the next six months and then no more till June! - where I bought my new specs, a shirt, cap, running attire and yesh my new 6100! Haiz I know I keep losing my phone! That as I said will all change now (eh at least I will try wahahahah!). Its apparently one of the last few 6100s left cos the phone is now out of production! Sighz no more 6100 if I lose this one.
Hmm after that I met Chuanni and Howe for a Carol Candlelight Christmas Service. Right I got a crappy seat cos I was late and had to watch the entire service from some projector screen but overall it was splendid! I love the hymns and my favouritestttttt of them all are the Xmas ones! Cos it got better when the lights went off and everyone lighted their candles! Heh some parts were a little lame but the Xmas skit was pretty cute - the Xmas Story, Youth Version, i.e. modern day adaptation.
One song I particularly liked ... it goes smth like this "Christmas Isn't Christmas ... Till It Happens In Your Heart ... Somewhere Deep Inside You ... Is Where Christmas Really Starts ..." Heh dun really noe all the lyrics but it was the finale song and when it ended everyone was like really in the Xmas spirit and wishing each other. Hah but even in the midst of the Xmas spirit and all Singaporeans will still be Singaporeans. As we left the Church we throwed away our candles into this black bag. BUT some cheapskate guys were actually fishing for not-too-used candles and pocketing them! Hehe! Some of these sights are just unique to our dear FINE city, Singapore! Haha!
Hey but relevance aside, since returning from UK, I find myself making constant comparisons between London and Singapore. The inefficient Tube vs the speedy MRT. The more gracious Londoners (or at least more so) vs the intolerably rude bums u sometimes meet whilst walking along Orchard Road. The BLAZING HEAT vs the drafty london air ... Hey but comparisons aside, I love London and I love Singapore - the former for the fun and excitement everyday I am there and the latter because it is HOME!
Christmas Isn't Christmas ... Without U ...
