i love christmas <333
wheee oh yes i do!
it never fails to make me feel warm and fuzzy all over.
christmas has that effect on me.
and i so love it!
well, maybe also because i love giving gifts, possibly as much as receiving them.
i don't know, but christmas this year felt more special than the past ones.
i had tons of fun working with glenn and teckjin at station one!
although when teckjin left for lunch i realised we couldn't cope as well.
but we did it!
it was super funny too!
and helping out at lunchtime:)
glenn and his fresh-fat-french-fries!
it was super fun working with him,
so i guess i really really enjoyed myself this christmas.

plus all those gifts and cards!
loads of thanks to all you guys!
i really loved the stuff you guys gave me,
and reading those super sweet cards:)

thank you everyone who made christmas so special for me!

_____________________________________________

on a different note:
i guess looks really are deceiving.
when i first met glenn i was really worried about working with him
i mean, he looked so poser-ish and dao and whatever
i guess i gave him quite a hard time at first.
but i he really is a nice guy deep down inside.
funny too!
and for the record, a good brother.
surprised?
so am i.

i guess its probably the same with most guys.
jia han says ben's a good guy.
i suppose he is.
all guys are.

WHEEEEE!
yes yes i love baking:)
i just finished baking a batch of meringues!
although they don't really look like the ones in the book,
i do hope they taste great!
:D
ohoh! i finished packing most of my christmas presents!
yay!
i feel so accomplished today!
cards all written,
gifts packed,
and even manged to do some baking,
with the rest of the day to rest!
am i good or what?
haha:)

yay i shall share the recipe for baking the meringues!

you need:
2 egg whites
100g of caster sugar
50g of chocolate chips

1. melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler, or by placing them in a heatproof container over bubbling hot water

2. whisk your egg whites until they get stiff. (this step took me a very long time, so be patient)

3. add the sugar in by heaped teaspoons, whilst whisking it all.

4. drizzle in the melted chocolate, stirring once or twice to give it a marblelized effect.

5. pop it into the oven, preheated at 110 celcius, for 40 minutes.

VOILA!

swirly meringues all waiting to be eaten!

p.s. they make good christmas presents when placed in a pretty jar!

ok.
i feel better now.
after some good music and venting out all the hate on some weird game.

Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's til the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles
It's the five of us
With pretty-eyed boys girls die to trust
I can't resist the day
No, I can't resist the day

Jenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
Beer through the nose on an inside joke
I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
And she's so pretty, and she's so sure
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
The summer's all in bloom
The summer is ending soon

It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses

Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said
And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love and we all got hurt
I sneak into his car's cracked leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat
Boy, we're going way too fast
It's all too sweet to last

It's alright
And I put myself in his hands
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses
Love, or something ignites in my veins
And I pray it never fades in white houses

My first time, hard to explain
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think
He's my first mistake

Maybe you were all faster than me
We gave each other up so easily
These silly little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where I've been
So I go, and I will not be back here again
I'm gone as the day is fading on white houses
I lie, wrote my injuries all in the dust
In my heart is the five of us
In white houses

And you, maybe you'll remember me
What I gave is yours to keep
In white houses
In white houses
In white houses

love,
Charlotte.

HELLO!
haven't blogged for what? 26280 minutes.
hurhurhur. now thats long.
my hongkong trips been long over, as well as the batam one.
youth camp just ended 3 hours ago.

where should i start?

hongkong was pretty cool, like they have fireworks at disneyland every single day. and some weird singaporeans complain that the money spent on the national day ones should be for charity.

uhhh. whateverrrr.

if that ever happens, i'll be so on strike. like, hello? the fireworks are totally the best part of national day.

ANYWAY. BACK TO THE POINT.

the weather in hongkong is really good. but the air is.. greyish. like, eww. and the town area is quite run down, surprisingly. but it actually was quite fun there

BATAM!
had my first massage there. so weird kay. like they really can massage freakin well. hurhur can't seem to explain the feeling but. i guess it was quite fun for a fg thingy.

YOUTH CAMPIEEE!
i think this year's camp was really thought provoking compared to the last. which can be a good thing. i mean, its like the theme talks were really good and they were like about stuff i think is more appropriate for the youths. but the formal dinner thingy was just darn weird. like i was laughing at myself half the time. so weird ahh. my partner was quite nice i guess. but i guess the whole thing was really embarassing for everyone. urghh. but i guess i'm kinda weary of guys now, after not talking to them for almost a year. and those failed thingys. so i guess i'll keep my distance from them.

i saw a shooting star! so prettyy:) first time too!

i need to sleep!
