compressed!

I just noticed my dashboard telling me that I've typed up 666 posts to date. First thing that popped to mind:

Smoke! Smoke! Sign of the devil, sign of the devil, set it on fire

from Sweeney Todd - Johanna (Reprise)
But that's including all my private posts.. still counts, right? =P

Friday was a.. phew. haha, it was fun. Not including my car breaking down in the middle of the road part of it though. Alternator went kaput on me. Arranged for us to meet at 6, ended up reaching only at 730PM! *sobs. But it was good, a small but talkative gathering of Sue-Li, Surina, Ben, Zoon and me. =3

Celebrated kor's birthday early on Saturday. Oh I'm glad he liked the presents we got him, and I have to admit mom & dad's present this time round was great! A Beano and Dandy Annual! All of us used to love to dig up the old annuals to read just because it was one of the rare forms of comic books in the house, and some of it was good stuff! Not to mention that it was ancient, of course. Like going back into time. =P Ti and I got him a shirt and wallet (I call it a good present since I found it within a half hour and he liked it! =3)

Sunday was all about soh ee XD I love to soh ee! The place where mom bought the soh ee stuff this year is great, cause there's so many many colours! And mom makes great sweet soup to go with it so I loooove this stuff XD Not too much of it in one sitting though. And more importantly, it doesn't crumble. I remember when we were doing the soh ee in Taiwan, the air was so dry and the doughy stuff was probably kept too long, so it was kinda hard to roll something so dry and crumbly into a nice ball. 

Also had a little kris kringle thingy after dance class XD got a photo frame which is pretty cute! Now to find a picture to put in it.. photo frames should not be left empty! *nodnods.

Oh holy night, my first Christmas
本当の気持ちだけを伝えたい いとしい君に
想いはあふれて
この季節が過ぎ去っても きっと変わらないよ

K - First Christmas
One of my favourite singles from this artist, and also the B-side to this single, which is a cover of Luther Vandross' "Every Year, Every Christmas". I love the piano accompanying this piece, but the vocals for the original beat this cover any day.. 

This song (or at least this verse) keeps repeating itself in my head! aacks!
Have yourself a merry little christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight

Judy Garland - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
And so let us have our merry little xmas! *runs around a Christmas tree*
