Christmas Eve.
Beverly, April and Allison are back. I've truly missed them so much and now that they're back, it suddenly seems like my life is getting back to what it used to be. My best girlfriends in the entire world gathering together once again. The only one still in the UK is Ling, who just happened to tour Italy with her uni friends or something. It's unfair that over here, a cheap holiday with your friends would mean Malaysia but in the UK, a cheap holiday with your friends means cool places like Italy and Spain.
Been spending most of my time with Bo, but I should be meeting up with April and Al next week so I'm looking forward to that. Anyway, here's a conversation that ensued between Bo and I (and Shuhui) the other day after I got my results:
Bo: "So what did you get?"
Me:" (I list my results)"
Bo: "Not bad! Is it counted?"
Me: "Yes. Cos we're using the GPA system."
Bo: "Wow! That's great."
Me: (slightly confused by Bo's enthusiasm about my school system) "Yeah, anyway talk to you later when I see you. Bye!"
Bo: "Bye!"
(We hang up and Bo turns to Shuhui who was next to her)
Bo: "Melia got A for GP!"
Some things have not, and will never change. Bo's retardedness, blurness and innate ability to screw up information and crack me up is definitely one of the reasons why she's one of my best friends.
Went down to Ministry of Sound on Wednesday, and the place is simply breathtaking. Zouk pales drastically in comparison. I was nursing a pretty high fever, but I knew I could not miss out on the opportunity so I popped a couple of Panadol and the next thing I knew, we were in the (extremely) long queue to get into MOS. These bunch of teenagers from the UK approached us when we were nearing the entrance, and told us they would pay us $60 if we would let six of them cut. How could we say no to an offer like that? It meant more than a couple of free drinks! And so we did, although I think the people around us must have been majorly pissed. MOS is beautiful and is the funkiest club I've ever seen. It has about five rooms playing different genres of music, and it's huge with two levels. The decor is just amazing - there's this one room which is all white and it boasts the plushest and hugest beanbag ever where people just plop down and sink right into it. And in that room, you can actually call and reserve these little booths which is like a private cabana of sorts with sheer curtains hanging down to give each group their own privacy. Each room looks totally different, and so it makes it seem as if you have five different clubs to choose from, in ONE location. Everyone should definitely go there at least once, even if it's just to sink in that plush beanbag I was talking about. It's worth it.
Just got back from carolling which was a wonderful experience although physically draining. I loved singing all the familiar, and some not so familiar tunes this year to the different houses. We even sang at a restaurant and at a counselling centre, and the fact that there were passers-by stopping to hear us sing was no doubt encouragement to all of us. After carolling tonight, I am feeling more of that Christmas spirit which I feel has been sorely lacking this year for some reason.
One of my all-time favourite Christmas carols (and also on BFEC's top Christmas hits):
For every broken heart in need of mending
For every lonely child who needs befriending
For every time the innocent will ever need defending
That's why He came
That's why He came
For all the lost and lonely
That's why He came
For all all the questions only love explains
And so that when we need Him we can call upon His name
That's why He came
To do the perfect will of God, His father
To face His death just like a lamb to slaughter
So He could pour out life like living water
That's why He came
That's why He came
For all the lost and lonely
That's why He came
For all the questions only love explains
And so that when we need Him we can call upon His name
That's why He came
To bring His light to darkness
And His helping to our pain
To bring us hope when it seems hopeless
That's why Jesus came
That's why He came
For all the lost and lonely
That's why He came
For all the questions only love explains
And so that when we need Him we can call upon His name
That's why He came
That's why He came
I cannot believe it's Christmas Eve. And I've yet to complete any of my Christmas shopping. And I'm still sick due to all the late nights, hectic schedule and lack of rest. It's going to be hardcore tomorrow. :
