Monday was a family party/gathering at my place because my mum happily volunteered our place as the venue this year. Ended up getting the whole house so busy cleaning up and preparing. But I think it turned out alright and everyone had fun. The bad thing is, now my aunt wants christmas to be held at my place every year. And the highlight was the present exchange where each of us had to get a gift not exceeding $20 to exchange. I bought a shoebag to exchange and ended up getting a $20 cash voucher for capitaland malls. I think vouchers are the most practical but least sincere and least creative gifts ever.
Tuesday was CHRISTMAS DAY AND I had stupid duty back at tekong ammo magazine. Well, it's not that bad considering it was my first time going back to camp in 12 days. But of so many days when there weren't any movement of ammo, there had to be one the following morning where I had to wake up at 6 plus because my duty partner hock seng refused to wake up after several wake up calls. Unlucky me.
Wednesday was another busy day. Set off for the 2nd facial appointment at OG albert new york skin solutions. I seriously doubt the usefulness of the facial as time goes by as my face just turns super red after facial and I have to endure the pain during extraction. There isn't much obvious improvement in my complexion. Ok I'm talking like a vainpot here. And wilfred made an amazing buy. A GPS FOR HIS CAR! THAT'S LIKE THE FREAKING COOLEST THING HE OWNS NOW. Now we can travel anywhere without a street directory and we started to abuse it by having it tell us the directions to every single place. Ended up shopping at bugis then junction 8 to try to spend my $20 voucher. In the shops where I wanted to get a shirt, I couldn't use the voucher and shops which didn't have any nice shirts happilt accepted the voucher. So it's still unspent till now.
Thursday was karaoke session with Joan and Wilfred. Popped by my favourite Teo Heng at Katong which is dirt cheap. But I think my expectations are rising as I was highly unhappy with the sound quality of the mikes. However, I think joan has a sweet and nice voice while wilfred has a husky but not sexy voice. Quite a cool combination the three of us. Joan terrorised us with oldies but I am unable to obtain the embarassing video I took of it.
Afterwhich we decided to make a trip to rochester park making use of the GPS because accaording to jeremy, the place had really beautiful scenary. We didn't even know where it was but later arrived at rochester park safely which was off buona vista. There was not any freaking scenary to see but lots of seemingly haunted houses and construction sights. My most ridiculous trip ever. There were a few restaurants which probably served food at "rochester prices". Not wanting to mak a wasted trip, we took some pictures.
The indian guy that took this shot was amusing.
Friday was PTSSU cohesion lunch at SAFRA Toa Payoh Badminton Court?!?!?! We were tasked with fetching ma'am maureen with her 2 cakes to the venue as well as serving the VIP during lunch. We completed the first amazingly and smoked our way throught the second, cuz the VIPs rather serve themselves. And I was randomly sabo-ed to go up stage to do some stupid dance with some guys and in the end won a stupid cup as a consolation prize. Then I got another prize from Mr Eric for helping to serve, which turned out to be 4 sticks of candies... Overall I think It's rather ok though the food, entertainment and venue can be improved... LOL
Afterwhich we went to Far East to do some shopping and for me to catch cheryl and her pretty friend, jasmine. Ended up spending a really long time at Lido topman because they were having a 50% sale. I desperately wanted to get something but the jacket I chose made me turn out like a tellytubby. Totally spoilt my mood after that and in the end only wilfred got an amazingly pinkish/purplish shirt.
Met the NPCC gang for dinner at night and to meet the new cadet inspectors. Great catching up session as usual.
Lastly, the picture for the last post...
