It is now 12am... I am alone... at home... in front of my computer typing this entry... too pathetic

Ok, I lied. I am also drinking some fine 14 year-old chilled Vineyard red wine, smsing and Facebooking. Now not too pathetic, but still pathetic, can be better.
Going Miri in exactly 9 more hours. Will reach Miri before noon. Bowling!!!! Here I come!

Christmas Eve and Christmas at Church 2009
First off, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
Christmas Eve for this year was... eventful, lol. Me and four other girls, so it was totally up to me to secure seats for em. Went through quite a hassle to find a good place to actually chill out and wait for Christmas countdown. Most of the places are so damn full, from as early as 8.30pm! >.<
Ended up we all hogged a few seats at Elaine's cousin's table at MNG. =.='''
Really this year Christmas Eve was so different compared to last few years, where places in Bintulu were actually deserted on Christmas Eve.
Took some pics on the nite, but using friend's camera so have to wait for uploads on facebook =P
Woke up early next morning to prepare to go church! Christmas Mass is like, one of the most important masses in the whole year and I just couldn't miss it.

Then after that, straight go home, eat, sleep, read blog, write blog, wait for my birthday, the end.
Totally uneventful Christmas, spent at home, sigh.

Christmas Carol near my house 2009
23rd of December 2009, I went Christmas Caroling at my residential area.
Well, not exactly Christmas Carol, because this year there was no walking around and singing Christmas songs on the road. Instead, we were doing house visits to spread the good news of the Lord's arrival and do a couple of short prayer sessions, to praise the Lord and bless the house and family for their kind hospitality.
At 6.30pm, after a quick dinner, me and my mum went to our church to gather first. It was a good time to talk and mingle around with friends, especially those who came back for the holidays. At exactly 7pm, we all go Christmas Caroling at our respective residential areas.

After the prayer session, we chill out, eat and drink (The cakes are nice!)
Cute kid!! Very naughty but smart, can understand what we were talking
Now back at the kitchen... THE SPREAD!

The Emo Kidz (once again, minus a few)
This actually happened like 3 days before the final exam! Omg omg... But because we all love Benson, we still find time to celebrate this wonderful day, only once per year, really must not miss it eh! The food there was nothing short of amazing, no complaints at all. Ian Tan managed to eat so much roasted lamb, he cannot bite anymore, lolz.
Of course after buffet, still early, only around 9.30pm. The others went for shisha, but I didn't go because really damn scared will fail, have to go back grind my nose on books (or my LCD screen).
PS: I wonder what happened to the cake... Since it was a buffet, we stuffed our stomach and face full of food, there's simply no space left for cake!
Show some of the photos for the food which I managed to take:
The one in a shot-glass I think is called Lime Cream or something, quite nice if you like lime and sour. The donut was quite special, coz got cheese shredding and some kind of cream(I think made out of milk) and is super yummy!
Sago in syrup, gula Malacca, coconut milk, a dash of whip cream and a sweetened cherry, simply nice!

Curtin Prom Night 2009 (Stars of Romance, aka Romance of Snack Plate (Benson, 2009))
(WARNING: This post is supa-not-56k-friendly)
Seriously! I went to 4 Curtin Proms since 2006 till 2009 and this is by far THE WORST PROM NIGHT EVER!
And the worse is, it gets worse and worse each year!
Now... one who did not attend the said event, would ask: WTH? How come got Snack Plate?
Firstly I would like to explain what a Snack Plate is. Refer the photo below and you should know what it is... If you still don't know, you seriously live under a rock!
Ok, back to the event: Curtin Prom Night 2009 (Stars of Romance)
Ugh, the theme of the event is about romance... single guys, like me, and also girls really don't fit in too well with the theme. Either way, I still go with my fellow Emo Kidz since this is the last prom for us!
Anyways... here come the PICs (note that none of these photos are from myself, I don't own a decent enough camera for low light/outdoor shooting)!

Seriously... This year's Prom is my last and by far the worst! OMG the food! Wanted to show you how the food looks like but since the photos has been deleted by the photographer, better don't post it here. But you can still refer to the 1st photo above, as reference. Trust me, it wasn't far from the real thing!
Well, more pics... but this time they are from my lousy phone camera at home:
Got silver words eh, plus name and also student council chop all in silver, no play play
Don't know what this is called... only got this after being an idiot and stage frightened. So not worth it!
And the Emo Kidz thought got free liqour, WTF!

Well, special thanks to Chloe, Kally, Meat Meat, Jackie, Benson and Joanne for the photos.
Now you guys can see why I was so reluctant to post this blog entry. Wasn't much happening, the event and programs was just so so, if not lower, and the food-SUX-period! Most of those who attended Prom actually went out for second dinner. The Emo Kidz ate a lot of those Snack Plate buns (we asked for a lot more from the waitresses) to last us through the night.
