Party at the Chay's

Went to Michelle's house on Friday...Christmas Day...

Dad fetched us to Sue Anne's house at around 4 pm...as we were going to follow her there...Lily came super late...if I can say....because she was "shopping." And then she actually wanted to go back home first to take her bag and other stuff, but it was so late her parents dropped her off at Sue Anne's house immediately after they finished "shopping."

Anyway, we went into the car at around almost 5, and not too long after that Lily arrived...so she hopped into the car, and we ZOOMED OFF!!!!!!!!! =)

The party was supposed to start at 5 pm...but we arrived there like 5:30 and guess what????? WE WERE THE FRIST TO ARRIVE...So awesome hor???? =)

Then Michelle took me on a "tour," because I haven't been to her place before...their house arrr...SO HUGEEEE!!!!!!!! Compared to mine of course...=)

Then Lily said that all the Chay Children's rooms are like Powerpuff Girls...because, Michelle's room is Pink, Melvin's is Blue, and Deric's is Green!!!!! And the powerpuff girls are pink, blue, and green!!!!!! lol...XD...

Stayed in Michelle's room for awhile, talking, then later I wanted to see their dog house...because Sue Anne said that their dog house bigger than her room even!!!!! Wah seriously very big...=)

Then after that, Caleb, Daniel, Jonathan, and Angel arrived...so stayed down there lor...=) Talked talked talked, then waited for awhile, then most of the rest came...except for Esther and Jane, and Lean Na, and Yvonne...

So we started eating after saying "grace," then Sue Anne and I were so lazy to get up from our seats...and Melvin kept saying go and eat la...but then when we went out to eat, there was a "long queue." So Sue Anne and I said, ada long queue la...so we waited for awhile then ate lor...We had a "private table." lol...there was another small round table near the food...the rest sat at the other table...which was farther away...only Michelle, Lily, Sue Anne, and I sat on the other table...then later a few others came over...=)

Anyway...later went back into the house and went up to Michelle's room...talked talked talked...then somebody called us down to sing carols...

So we went down, then Mr Melvin made a "big fuss" about us sitting at the bottom stairs...he asked us to sit at the "circle" but we said don't want. Sit at the stairs also can...but he kept asking us until finally we moved nearer to the circle of people...but I still sat on the last stair...hehe...but still part of the circle la...XD

Sang a few carols then we were divided into 4 groups to play the first game...which was Charades...

It was HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! The way people acted, and guessed, it was so funny!!!!!!!! And somebody said something yuckie...ewwww...only Sue Anne will understand what I mean...=)

The last game was Muderer, or Mafia...whichever you wanna call it...

That was also funny...and the funniest thing was, the penalty was eating a plate of watermelons and a bowl of cucumbers...for example if all the "police" loses, then we have to eat...or if the "muderers" lose then they eat lor...only the normal people called humans or etc, are the only ones who don't need to eat no matter what....=)

Luckily for me, I have some reasons which I can't eat watermelon and cucumbers...=D I was so happy!!!!! haha...because if not, I will have to eat like 3 times???? haha...and some more the last 2 rounds, the cucumbers had WASABI in it!!!!!!!!! (not sure how to spell)

So everytime I'm supposed to eat, then they will say, "eh, supposed to have one more person..." Then they will say who??? Then I will say me...but I can't eat...so then the last 2 rounds, Leanne said, har, Charissa again??? ayuh...because I can't eat...so yeah...XD

The part was fun except for a "sesat-ed" person who kept wanting to take a picture of Me and Sue Anne but we refused...=) lol...

Ok la...that's all for now...

Christmas...

Had a Christmas Eve Celebration at my church on Thursday evening...

Went there early...because mummy and daddy had to help carve the turkey...so yeah...

Nothing to do there...friends came later, so I ended up walking up and down...because I was cold and nothing to do...and then I got tired of walking and sat down...but I was so bored....=)

Anyway, finally, Nikki arrived!!!!!! Wheeee!!!!!! Like so long never see her already...lol...she came with Eeleen...her school friend...seen her before...

Anyway, then later Lily and Michelle arrived also...

Then since I ate already, I watched them eat...and talk also la...then Caleb was also there, and then later Daniel, Jamie, and Sam came...so it was a very cramped "booth." lol...

Anyway, so yeah...we laughed like crazy that time, because Lily was explaining something in so a disgusting and funny way, and then Michelle choked like crazy because she was eating...and I "beat" her back, lol...to "help" her....lol...=) But very lightly only la...

Then later we found Ryeanne and Rachel!!!!!! They were so cuteeeeeee!!!!!!!!! Looked like flower girls...=) Then we played with them for awhile...found us some seats...then talked for awhile, and took a few pics...I will try to get it from Nikki...it was her cam...=)

Then the "service" started...there were alot of candle lighting...and almost the whole time, Ryeanne was asking me so many questions about the whole service...she was so cuteee...asking me why this and why that...=)

After service...I talked to Nikki, then Lily and Michelle, because Nikki went somwhere else and stuff...

I left quite early...=)

Came home, was so tempted to open my presents...but I just opened one or two and left the rest for 12 midnight....=) lol...

Lily's present was the most HIARIOUS of all!!!!!!!!! It's abit disgusting at first, but later you will have a good laugh!!!! XD

Anyway, I'm lazy to blog about all the details of that day so yeah...

Rumah Shalom

Went to Rumah Shalom, an orphanage today...

We arrived there and waited for them to finish their lunch first, and then we played games in the basketball field across the house...

First game was, a "whacking game." haha...basically, you need to know each other's names, and let's say, Grace is in the middle, and let's say we call out Sue Anne's name, so Grace has to whack Sue Anne with a bottle, unless, Sue Anne calls another name first before Grace manages to hit Sue Anne...so yeah...it was pretty funny to see how they played it...

Second game, was CAT, MOUSE, and DOG. There are 3 bottles, the smallest is a mouse, the medium sized is a cat, and the big sized is a dog. So for example, the cat has to catch the mouse, the mouse the dog, and the dog the cat...don't ask me why it's in this arrangement, but that's how we played it. Once your caught with two bottles in your hand, you have to do the "chicken dance!"

So we had to hold the bottle and "revolve" it around our body a few times. Mouse was 2 times, Cat 3 times, and Dog 4 times...

Jamie, was so bad...he purposely, revolve the bottle around himself, dreadfully slow, so that, when the other bottles catches him up, then he quickly pass it on to the person next to him which is Sue Anne, and after her, Me, and etc. So means it's harder for us to quickly pass the bottle to the next person because the next bottle is like just next to you! Means that the chances of you getting caught with two bottle is very great!Silly la he, purposely wana do it to all of us girls...>:(

Caleb was the first one to do the chicken dance...lol...he was so HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The way he danced, looked so much like a girl, and Lily and I were laughing so hard until it was so hard to stop!!!!!!!!!!! =D

And the 3rd game was Blow Wind Blow...a person has to stand in the middle again, and the rest of us sit down in a circle. So the person in the middle shouts out, Blow Wind Blow! And we reply, Blow What? And the middle person shouts out anything for example, Blow All Those Who Are Wearing Black! So all those who are wearing black have to change places, as in, move to another spot.

I was the first one to get out...simply because, I didn't know how to play the game, and Grace didn't explain the instructions I think...so yeah...so when they said blow all those who are wearing black, I was so blur...and I didn't know what to do...and I was wearing black!!!! =)

Then Jamie and Lily and Su Xin shouted to me and said that I have to move to another spot...and I was like, what??? So I got up, and then it was too late...so I had to go in the middle. And I also didn't know what to do after that. I was like, now what do I do??? And they said I have to say blow wind blow, and blablabla...so I said it, then I didn't know that, after saying it, I have to try and get into an empty spot myself...so I still stood there like a really dumb person, and they told me that I have to try to move to an empty spot...luckily for me, I found one! ahaha...I seriously looked like a stupid person there...=)

After games, we went back to the house and sang carols...the kids or rather more of teenagers liked Felis Navidad so much!!!!!!! haha...

And after carols, we gave out the Project Joy stuff....=)

I met a really cute and adorable little indian boy...his name is Steven (my dad's name) and he is 5-years-old! He could pass for 4, or 3 as Miss Jean Ann said...

AAAAAA!!!!!!! He's so so so so so so so so CUTEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I took a pic of him...I'll post it in the next post if I don't have any problems uploading from my phone to the comp...=)

Anyway, it was a good experience visiting the orphanage!

Church...

Went to church today, Eugene came back from Aussie! =)

He had a haircut FINALLY. His hair was like super duper long  before... XD

Anyway, there was a Kids Christmas Party today...wah...the food arr...it's like, fu yoh!!!!! They had a cony dog each, "fancy" ice-cream with oreo, chocolate chips, a chocolate bar, marshmallows, and etc...then after that, they had a bag of popcorn and a fruit cake each...WAH!!!!!!!! I also want wei!!!!!!!!!! lol...

But alot of the kids couldn't like finish it, because it was too much...more of younger kids la...

Ryeanne was so cute today...she was wearing a mauve dress, and had stockings on...Rachel look like a little ballerina!!!!!!!! XD

Rachel was a lil' naughty today...you see, Sue Anne has this bottle that when you press the middle, water will squirt out! So Rachel saw Sue Anne doing it, and wanted to do it too!!!!

Then Rachel did it on Caleb!!!! ahahahaha...Ryeanne also, but I had to help her press the middle because her hands aren't strong enough...XD...

Then Rachel, was naughty and said she wana squirt on Caleb's pants...and Caleb immediately said, NO! And tried to "defend himself" by blocking the spout and stuff... But then dunno why later, he kena, and he looked as if he "pee-ed" in his pants!!!!!!!!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

Ok la...

Sunway Pryamid...

Went to Sunway at around 12 something today!!!!!!!

And guess what?????

SUE ANNE WAS THERE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wheeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Muahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol...XD

Actually how I found out she was also there was because, Sue Anne and I were having a really very "serious" discussion through sms...

Then later I told her I'm going to Sunway and she said, WHAT???? I'm there too!!!!!!

And I was like, What????? You're there?????? Wheeee!!!!!!!! =)

Anyway, so when I found out that she was at Sunway, I was buying lunch...

Then later she came up to The Jusco Sports Section where my mummy was buying something for daddy.

Then we talked talked talked...but laugh alot also...XD

Then later my mummy talked to Aunty Kim Ping, and Sue Anne and I talked some more...like for half an hour???? Or maybe more...I'm not sure also...

Then we were at the Christmas Section, talking, then suddenly everything went "SMELLY AND QUIET." (thats how sue anne puts it).

Wanna know why????

It's because, suddenly, as we were talking, both of us smelled something that stung like crazy..."sweat and clothes that has not enough sunlight kinda of smell..." Then we both went quiet...and turned around and saw a really SLOPPY GUY...so sloppy ok...And immediately we knew that the smell was coming from him...

Then, slowly and as discreetly as possible, we moved away from him...but we still could smell after he was gone...OH MA MA MIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOODNESS!!!!!!!!! It was pretty repulsive...haha...XD

Anyway, it was so funny how both of us went quiet and how the atmosphere became smelly...=)

Ok, so, we continued talking but 1/3 of the time I think, was spent, staring at each other and saying, "tsk, tsk, tsk, or ciap ciap ciap..." Which ever suits it better...=)

It was so funny la...making that sound and we ended up laughing only...XD

Ok, we "seperated" at about half an hour to 45 min from the time we met...

Then went "shopping" Walking around mostly...

I soooooooooooo LOVE THE PET SHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bags, and stuff in there, are so CUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But they are also very very very very expensive...Sigh...I wish I own the whole shop...seriously wish...=(

Anyway, we left Sunway at about 5 something...=)

Funny Incident at Church...

haha...something funny happened during sermon at church yesterday...

My friend was sitting next to me, she does not wish me to reveal her name. So I have to put "my friend."

Anyway, she has this purple water bottle, which, in order to drink from, you have to squeeze the bottle first before the water will come out.

So happen, she put the water bottle in-between her thighs, and I guess she forgot she had it there and squeezed her legs together, and the water SHOT OUT!!!!!!!!

She was sitting at the aisle...so it shot out the aisle!!!!!! IT WAS SO SO SO SO SO HILARIOUS OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So funny until I couldn't stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were both laughing like crazy, including my sis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And it was during sermon so we couldn't like laugh so loud...but I think I was already loud...XD...

One Jie Jie sitting at the aisle also, turn around when the water shot pass her!!!! haha...

Thanks my friend, for giving me a good laugh!!!!!!!!

MY CELLO!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My cello, went like super out yesterday night.

I was practicing, and was playing a piece when suddenly I heard a "piak" sound...and I was like, wa-aat?????

And the first thing that came to my mind was,

THE STRINGS BROKE.

(Because, teacher told me that the A string especially, is going to break...haha...XD)

Then I checked, but no, the strings were still intact...

What could it be???? Then I strummed the strings???? AAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What sound is that!!!!!!!?????? What note is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????? AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

The D string went to like goodness knows what note...I think it was like F? And not the F above the D ok. It's the F BELOW the D. lol...Crazy huh????

And the A went higher...lol...to B! Usually it goes lower not higher...dunno what happen to my cello yesterday...

So I had to turn the pegs, and nearly forgot to loosen the fine tunners first. XD

And I got it at the right note, when, just as I expected, the pegs started RUNNING!!!!!!! They ran away!!!!! ahaha...those pegs are very very very very very fond of running...must scold them! =)

And I kept turning and turning, until finally I gave up because my hands were too painful to turn anymore. So I called my mummy...and she also turned and turned, and turned, until FINALLY!!!!!! The pegs were "kuai" (good) enough to stay put...=)

Phew, I hope it won't go all out again...
