*stretches and stifles a yawn* Good hearty morning all! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Woah. I got up pretty early today considered the fact that I turned in at around 3+ AM last night/morning. LOL. Met up with my aunt, "mama", cousins at Northpoint, had a yummylicious dinner b4 leaving for Orchard. "mama" pulled out at the last minute cuz she was feeling nauseous and headed home in a cab. GET WELL SOON "mama"!!! :) My cousin and I got a camera, it was what I'd call an antique model which costs ONLY $39.90 with rolls of film and other freebies thrown in! LOL. Well, we shared costs. Haha...and now I'm waiting for Yvonne to get em' developed! Woohooo. If I hafta post some of those pics here I'll prolly hafta steal a scanner! *evil grin*

Well, so all of us headed to Orchard. When we got to Dhobby Ghaut, my aunt pulled out too! LOL. Guess she sorta freaked out when she saw the MASSIVE crowd up ahead, and mind you it was only like 7 plus 8PM! Wait till the 10PM crowd floods in! So she left. Guess such tendencies do run in our blood! *winks*

All of immediately whipped out our handy cameraphones and started snapping away, it was like the most natural thing to do these days, to have narcissism in full display even in public! LOL. But hey, EVERY shot spells F-U-N! Ah! I love those lights hanging on the trees! But those bluish bulblights were sorta eerie though. We came to a stall selling surprise surprise! Santa hats ( with or without flashy lights), flashy badges and SNOW SPRAY! LOL. Here's what we got:
Mum : 1 Flashy angel badge $2
Yvonne : 1 Flashy hat and flashy badge $5 + $2=$7
Sharon : 1 Flashy hat
Me : 1 Flashy hat
Note---> Flashy here means those lights which go flashing on and off rhythmatically!

By the time we reach Centrepoint, it already felt like an hour had gone by. Many people were holding Snow Sprays and maniacally attacking poor, unknowing passers-by like us. LOL. Do we have a target board pasted on ourselves!?! LOL. There were lotsa Bengals there, you see I'm very tempted to say Ah Nehs but considering the previous case of racist bloggers, I'd prolly not venture to that. LOL. The Bengals were really a rowdy and crazy bunch of people! We got stuck at a point outside Wisma Atria, and we couldn't even budge, Yvonne and I were snadwiched in between thousands of people. And people behind were pushing and shoving, and so were we, let's just call it the "Ripple Effect". LOL. So there's me with the santa hat (which was beginning to look a lil stupid) all sweaty and smelly( smellymelly never sounded much better!), with my hands crossed in front of me pushing at the back of this guy in front of me, and Yvonne's hand was hooked on my right. Can you believe? Some butthead was still spraying snow at that kinda situation? Well, not that it caused much harm anyway, since his ammo (Snow Spray) was running low and getting a tad "lao hong", so the snow sorta vanished into thin air after it travelled a few cm into the crowd. At that point, I seriously imagined myself to be a National rugby player contending in the World finals or something! And we were chanting "Move! Move! Move!" <---This is a refined/censored version of what I chanted anyway. And the Bengals on the left felt it was funny or something? LOL.

Phew. Finally we got outta the ruckus and found my mum and Sharon! LOL. My mum looked murderous by then! There were lotsa other let's just call em "Lost souls" who were standing around blankly, prolly separated from their family/friends too. LOL. My mum met with an unhappy incident during the Wisma mini-stampede part, and she took out her umbrella and started hammering away at the culprit like there wun be another Christmas again! LOL. Yeah, my mum's not one to be trifled with! And serve that asshole right! Hah!

My mum actually wanted to open her brolly to shelter us from the "snow", LOL, but before she could do it Yvonne and I took off. LOL. Thank god for my Santa hat, which shielded me from "snow". $5 well-spent! :)

We were near Far East so we had to cross the road and make our way back to Somerset MRT station. Every minute at Orchard during Christmas was physically demanding, having to use brute strength, speed while crossing the road and alertness to "siam" from cars. LOL. So there we were, once again bulldozing past the people mountain people sea to get to our train station. There were some Christmas carolling, and it was er...funny? LOL. I couldn't describe it, it sounded like the egg( clue) which sang when Harry potter opened it in the Prefect's bathroom.

Wooh. Finally! Somerset MRT station! It was the protected area, where we dun hafta get all cranky and jumpy, scanning for potential snipers(snow sprayers). We sat to Marina Bay and all the way back. LOL. We started snapping manically in there! LOL. Fun fun fun! Haha. Ahhh can't wait for the photos to get developed! So, we lay on our seats, all spent, grimy and smelly. I smelt like...100 sweaty rugby players! Major Yuck! :( LOL. But I reckon I'd lost 5 pounds and gained 5 pound of muscles! We had supper at McDonald's! I had filet-0-fish. Ahh...after a strenuous work-out fast food had never tasted much better! LOL. While waiting for Michelle, we took even more pictures! LOL. We took lotsa pics, most of them weird I guess. LOL. We looked like xiao char bos man!

Weeeee! Home sweet home! Haha. It was already 1 plus 2AM...and for the 1st time in my life, I was actually looking forward to a nice, cold bath! LOL. Here's a reformed smellymelly! And I finally turned in at around 3+AM. Ahhhhh...bed sweet bed! LOL.

Woohoo....hours later...here I am! Blogging! LOL. Will be celebrating Cgristmas with Ch5 LOL. Will be having steamboat later at night! Yummy yummy yum yum! :)

Happy Holidays all!

p.s. Remember those flashy badges my mum and Yvonne bought? We later realised they were "lost in action" LOL.
