The joy of xmas...
life's been rather hectic recently... as my two other dear frens, char and aileen had revealed in their blogs earlier, we went out to celebrate aileen's bday last fri! have u ever tasted that gush of warmth feeling when u are out with frens u have come to know so well and whom u can relax and talk abt anything under the sun? i think one impt thing that i have come to treasure over the years would be the preciousness of friendships... i can never bring myself to forsake my frens... can u imagine destroying the trust tat both of u have painfully built over the years? i cant bear to or bring myself to do that... my friends, i have placed all of u in a special place deep in my heart... to others, xmas may be a season for shopping, holidays or even sleep... to me, it's the celebration of love and friendship... hey i may sound cliched and superficial here but i really mean it... the feeling of having true frens is wonderful...
so we ate at spageddies cos i got 15% discount on my visa mini but i regret it! the salad was really sour cos of the overdose of vinegar and the masala chicken doesn't taste well marinated... so much for the good impression i had when i had my class dinner or track dinner back in sec sch... :p looks like the standards have dropped over the years...
the next day was just as enjoyable cos i spent it with zj and it was a break away from movies, restaurants and shopping centres... we went gym and i shagged myself at the gym by hogging the abs machine, doing lots of free weights and doing the striding machine... i would love to do more cardioaerobic activities like racing the treadmill conveyor belt but too bad my hamstrings are strained! oh i must talk abt the visit to the chinese physician downstairs my hse... after he diagnosed that i overstretched my hamstrings, he performed acupuncture on me though i protested! one by one, he peirced those scary needles into my nerves and i felt this twinge of "suanness"... but it was pure pain when the needles pricked my right leg... ouch.... i was left alone with the infrared lamp which supposed to aid blood circulation in my hamstrings... when i tot the torture is over as he removed the needles, he rolled that small glass jars over my hamstrings... can u imagine those jars, emptied of air, trying to swallow up ur muscles when they're placed over ur skin? the memories were made more unforgetable when he rolled the jars up and down my hamstrings and calves... i simply screamed in pain esp when the jars are rolled over the back of my knees... i dun wanna get injured again....
well back to the date, we chilled out by watching america pie tog and then went lot one to eat dinner... we shared paper prata in addition to the main course we bought for ourselves... yummy! been eyeing it for quite some time but was worried abt the fats that i would add to my body! with zj, diets always fail... :P he had to leave after tat and i rushed home to get dressed up to meet my sis for midnight shopping at suntec! it was a special experience but we only got a giordano top each and aussino bedsheets... they're a steal! 2 queen size bedsheets for only 29.90... got 40% discount heheh
the next day was a meaningful day... we went to singapore association for the deaf to organise a xmas party for 15 old folks... i was struck by how little they have and though we only played games and served them their lunch, they're immensely thankful for our efforts... i wished i could give them more than just 2hrs of games... being with them realise how fortunate i am and i'm determined to give my parents a better life than the ones these old folks are living now...
if i am ever asked abt wat i would remember of this xmas, it'd be i realised how blessed i am!
