my christmas entry for 2004 was a sad one, with me being depressed over my results. i'm happy to say that this semester is my best ever in NUS with regards to the grades i've gotten. so i know this christmas isn't going to be a sad one.

christmas holds a lot of special meaning to some people, and to me, it's a nice public holiday and an excuse to eat a lot. i spent my christmas eve shopping at ikea with my parents and then having "ma2 la4" steamboat with daryl, serene and shaun at bugis/beach road? the place is opposite shaw tower. there're 3 steamboat shops there, but do go to the one with the white signboard because that's the one i went. i really ate a lot cuz it's really nice and i had a huge appetite for i don't know what reason! it's super spicy and super shiok. caught the Chronicles of Narnia later on. the show is 2 hours and 20 minutes long. not really my kind of movie but it's not bad either. oh well, it's a children story. i'd give it a 2.5/5 coco crunches.

and so, christmas day! my mum pre-ordered a christmas set which includes a turkey, a bloody huge chunk of bacon and a log cake a few weeks ago and she collected them today. my relatives came over and it almost felt like we were celebrating christmas. i think i've never eaten a turkey before today even though my mum insisted i have. anyway, turkey tastes like chicken but the meat is tougher. tadah.

so in fact, i had an enjoyable christmas with lotsa great food and seeing old friends. =) thank Christ for the holiday.
